	The Chris Isaak Show
		The Chris Isaak Show is not aiming for the high road.
		Isaak and his band perform his hits (including "Wicked Game" and "Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing") and cover tunes in rehearsals and onstage at Bimbo's, with special guests occasionally sitting in (Junior Brown and Joe Walsh appear in the opening episodes).
		Isaak is no master thespian, but he genially goofs on his suave, girl-happy image and isn't afraid to be the butt of the joke.

	"The Chris Isaak Show" (2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Isaak is a likeable lead, and his real life band (minus the keyboardist) are hilarious as backups.
		I have been looking forward to this show for over a month, and I think it fills the holes nicely left by Beggars and Choosers and Rude Awakening, both of which were cancelled this year.
		I think the show will be on for a long time, and I think from what I have seen, the majority of people who have seen it, like it...a lot.

	Showtime's 'Chris Isaak' response to HBO's 'Sex and the City'
		Isaak tries to explain spitting isn't what he had in mind, but the woman is in a huff ("I can't believe you'd treat me like this!" she says) and storms out.
		She acts cold toward Isaak but confounds him by repeatedly doing a strip tease in front of her window, which is directly across from the window in his room.
		Though some of Isaak's predicaments are funny in a recognizable way (in the second episode he falls in and out of love with a policewoman based on his fantasy about romancing her while she's in uniform), Anson's character provides the comic engine that drives the series.

	Chris Isaak Show
		In the opening episodes, Isaak is teased by his friends as a cheapskate who reuses disposable cups (with lipstick stains!) and plays peeping Tom when a woman dances naked in a hotel room across from his.

		Enter The Chris Isaak Show, a female-nudity-filled behind-the-scenes comedy exploring the professional and sexual lives of the suave singer-songwriter and his real-life bandmates.

		As the star of his own Showtime TV show, Chris Isaak plays a sly raconteur with perfect comic timing, but on his eighth album, he shows that he is still intent on continuing in the role of melancholy balladeer.
		Isaak's first album since his TV success, and first in four years, 'Always Got Tonight', marks a return to form for the singer-songwriter-guitarist with the smoldering retro-pop vibe who has previously earned four gold or platinum albums.
		Chris Isaak was punching out albums with some of the most scintillating, original, tuneful and well-crafted songs for years.

		Isaak and the band dug in deeper, showcasing the band’s late-night, lovelorn sound on the 1987 release, Chris Isaak.
		Not long afterwards the release of the album, Isaak’s acting career began in earnest when the songwriter scored a bit part in the Jonathan Demme comedy, "Married to the Mob." His turn would prove the beginning of a long career in front of the camera.
		Not only did the album retain Isaak’s homage to the sounds of early rock’n roll, the album came complete with a deceptively vintage-looking photo of Isaak on the cover, further tipping the proverbial hat to Isaak’s early rock’n roll influences.

	CHRIS ISAAK'S “WICKED GAME”
		Isaak and his band, Silvertone, built a loyal following in the San Francisco Bay Area club scene in the '80s, but their modern rockabilly style was always out of step — both visually and musically — with the trends.
		Isaak's third album, Heart Shaped World, seemed destined for the same small-time fate as the first two, until film director David Lynch made the inspired decision to prominently place “Wicked Game,” with its haunting guitar melody and supremely sexy vocal, in his 1989 movie Wild at Heart.
		Chris had played it with the band many times, and we'd recorded a bunch of different versions, with different arrangements.

	Zap2it - TV features - Showtime Gets Wicked With 'The Chris Isaak Show'
		During a recent appearance on "The Tonight Show," Isaak said his new Showtime series "The Chris Isaak Show" is not about his life.
		The under-educated, uncultured, alcoholic/druggie, sex-obsessed stereotypes have never applied to Isaak (well, maybe the sex-obsessed part), and according to the show, he's type of rock star to worry about his stalker when she goes missing.
		While the show is obviously trying to recapture the "everything goes" feel of "The Larry Sanders Show," it doesn't quite get there.

		The main focus for the show is Chris, but it is not episode after episode of "Hey, look how cool I am".

		Isaak was particularly adroit on the subject of the mental deficiencies of his fellow musicians.
