Fall TV Preview of Cane Jimmy Smits New Hot Family Drama with Spice

Cane starring Jimmy Smits, is another New Fall TV show that has had a lot of Buzz lately as to it's chances of being one of this years success story's and one I am looking forward to immensely...I've always been a big fan of Jimmy's smoldering Latino good looks and his cute tush since it was shown in a shower scene on NYPD Blue a few years ago...and, he is one fine actor!

This story sounds like one that fall into the category of soap opera but not to the detriment of the show itself...the producers and creators are saying that because of the range in age of the characters featured in this dramatic series they are hoping to appeal to all age demographics.

Basically, Cane is another show about a big wealthy family but this one has the flavor of spicy salsa washed down with a cool Mojito.

The main characters are Latino and have been praised in their casting. Pancho, (Hector Elizondo), and Amalia, Duque, (Rita Moreno), are the matriarch and patriarch of this family which the show revolves around...They came to Florida from Cuba years ago and purchased big parcels of land to grow sugar cane....From this fortunate business venture they became exceedingly wealthy in the rum and sugar business....they worked hard to attain all they had and during this time had four children...though one of them had an unfortunate accident and was killed at an early age...

The three that were left were raised somewhat spoiled...There was Frank, (Nester Carbonell, Isabel,(Paola Turbay), and Henry, (Eddie Matoes) and to add to the mix, they adopted a fourteen year old orphan, Alex, (Jimmy Smits), who, for some reason, was made the heir to the family's thriving business...I guess we will learn why as the series progresses.

As can be imagined this does not go over too well with the rest of the clan, especially Frank, who is exceedingly jealous of Alex and I imagine this is going to be a main issue in the story line...a power struggle that will be one hell of a struggle. especially when Alex thinks the idea of turning sugar into ethanol for what he thinks is going to be extremely valuable asset to their business in the future...Frank is not happy with that idea.
