I have a friend. Let’s call him Bob. Bob is a single male who comes from an Anglo-Saxon/Austrian background and he hates Everybody Loves Raymond. Then again he didn’t get My Big Fat Greek Wedding either. I understand why. He sees nothing in common with these people. He never had to deal with “the guilt” [...]
It’s nice to see Frasier is back in action, and showing its original quirkiness. For anyone, who still watches Frasier (Tuesdays, at 9 pm, on NBC), the show has been on autopilot for the last couple of seasons, and it wasn’t even heading anywhere good. Ever since Niles and Daphne have gotten together (yippee), the [...]
Just when I was going to give up on Good Morning, Miami, they decide to revamp it, and then they do it again. I think the strategy worked, and it will pay off the sitcom in the long run. Let’s see – the show’s been changed a bit back in September – a few new [...]
Once upon a time, Rachel and Ross were the talk of tinseltown. They even had a baby together. But a season or two ago, something weird began to happen. Joey fell in love with Rachel. It’s kinda funny how all the girls of Friends at one point or another have hit on Joe. I mean [...]
The show is a sitcom adaptation of a chick-flick Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant made famous with Notting Hill. The scenario is very similar. A boy, Patrick (David Sutcliffe), meets girl, Alex (Teri Polo). Alex is an actress. Paparazzi follow Alex and Patrick. Boy has to deal with his privacy being taken away, and his [...]
The 55th annual Emmy awards just like every other awards show out there proved last night that awards are a useless tool for Hollywood society to get together and show off. Let’s start from the beginning—the red carpet. I don’t know why media thinks that we are interested in Joan Rivers’ comments on who looked [...]
In the last couple of years we got to see a lot of American minority groups trying to create sitcoms. These tend to premiere in the beginning of the fall or winter season and get canceled due to poor ratings and, let’s face it, lack of good material. Luis, premiered on FOX this Friday at [...]
Whatever happened to good sitcoms? It seems that the older a show gets the more style, characters, and laughs disintegrate. They say a sitcom always seems to have one season too many before it goes off the air. I am convinced this is true. For example, NBC keeps a show like Friends on the air [...]
John Ritter, the funny man who’s known to older audiences as Jack Tripper from the 70′s sitcom Three’s Company, and who recently resurfaced in ABC’s new hit show 8 Simple Rules has died on Thursday, September 11th. Why is it that the good ones die young, and the lousy ones live forever? OK, I’m not [...]
The self-proclaimed ‘most politically incorrect show of this fall’ has premiered Tuesday night on NBC. Here’s my personal, and biased opinion on this new sitcom. Nothing frustrates me more than a ‘calculated outrageousness’ (yes, it’s a term, and if not, it should be). As promised in previews, the show indeed has a lot of dialogue, [...]
