The network that was once known for pulling its weaker shows too early, before they develop legs and audience, is finally sticking with most of its current lineup. Not only that, ABC is also bringing in plenty of new shows – which is a sign of confidence. Or, perhaps it’s just stubbornness. First of all, [...]
The once-unstoppable network has announced its partial fall lineup today, a little ahead of FOX, ABC and CBS, and the despair is showing. It’s not very obvious, especially if you don’t look where some of the shows are being moved, why other shows are being canned, and what new shows are about. Not very obvious [...]
Hey, it’s that time of the year again. Some shows are canned, many are officially renewed, and some – are bound to exist in between for a few weeks or months, while the ratings/costs/revenues are being mulled by the corporate big wigs. Is your favourite show going to come back in the fall? Take a [...]
I am still seething from Monday’s episode. Yes, while the rest of the civilized world was watching NFL, and suddenly got a glimpse of women’s breasts (and while we’re on this topic – how long are we going to keep witnessing wardrobe malfunctions that are nothing but awkward ploys to promote shows?), I tuned in [...]
For those who don’t know about the show yet, I’m quoting FOX website: “ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT revolves around MICHAEL BLUTH (Jason Bateman), a widower who wants nothing more than to be a good father to his 13-year-old son GEORGE MICHAEL (Michael Cera). So after being passed over as partner at The Bluth Development Co., Michael resolves [...]
“George is gettin’ upset!” Jason Alexander is back in this family comedy, that at first seems just like any other. However, add to the tired formula a defiant, rebellious daughter, a competitive co-worker, and an ever-growing list of “things that piss me off”, and you got a good, watchable 30 minute show. Airing on CBS, [...]
OK, I admit it. I was one of those gals that went to a series-finale-of-Sex-and-the-City party. There were lots of single gals there, who loved the show. And we drank lots cosmopolitan martinis, tried to talk frankly about sex, and tried to wear the funkiest things we had in our closets. Needless to say, I [...]
The show about nothing finally has a worthy successor. Although Curb Your Enthusiasm (on HBO Sunday nights) is not a brand new show, it only now receives the attention it earned straight from season one. Better late than never. Ever since the demise of Seinfeld, many networks have attempted to imitate the success and wackiness [...]
Both stories were inevitable (and a third one is looming), but why did they announce them on the same day? Let us absorb things one by one. Oh, well. Details below. The day started early, with the announcement of Golden Globe nominees (check the official website of Hollywood Foreign Press Association. I won’t bother listing [...]
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” [...]
