TV fans this early should find out what’s worth watching on the small screen in the coming months. There are several new shows debuting next season you might be interested in viewing.

The Michael J. Fox Show will be airing on NBC. For those who know Alex Keaton in Family Ties or those who simply adore Michael Fox, this is one great show you should not miss. This self-titled sitcom features the actor in the role of a newsman who goes back to work after a bout with Parkinson’s disease which is a real-life condition Michael Fox is struggling with.

For more laughs, be sure to tune in to Brooklyn Nine-Nine which will air over the Fox Network. This new comedy series features a Brooklyn detective who’s always goofing around and a new captain in the person of Andre Braugher. [Read more…]

Most Memorable TV Wedding Episodes

January 29, 2013 By Marie F

Many of us love to watch weddings on TV more so if they involve our favorite drama or comedy series. An event such as the tying of the knot provides a great relief to the emotions and all the drama that takes place. It’s magnetic and something that touches the heart.

Ross and Emily of Friends

For sure you have your own favorite TV weddings. Here we share some of the best episodes that saw the main characters starting their happily ever after journey.

Grey’s Anatomy featured the most unique twist of events. Izzie played by Katherine Heigl took charge in organizing the wedding of Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and she planned it according to her dream wedding. In The engaged couple agreed to Izzie’s every detail and in the end, the wedding planner also ended up saying “I do” to Alex (Justin Chambers) while Meredith and Alex exchanged vows via the post-it.

CBS Planning Another Twitter Show

September 28, 2010 By Marie F

God help us all. CBS’ $#*! My Dad Says has been deemed a success after healthy ratings for its debut, so of course CBS is applying the standard Hollywood playbook to any money-making venture: “if the public loves one, they’ll love two even more!”

Yes, another thoroughly unnecessary sitcom is in the works from CBS that’s based on a Twitter feed, and it’s a rather similar-sounding one. Where $#*! My Dad Says is based on a guy that tweets the profane, politically-incorrect stuff that his father spews round-the-clock, Shh… Don’t Tell Steve, the new show CBS is working on, is based on a Twitter feed by a guy that secretly tweets the kooky activities of his lazy, drunken roommate. The show will similarly follow an average guy who has to put up with an outrageously immature roommate.

CBS has signed a deal for a pilot script, which will be executive produced by avid Twitter user Ashton Kutcher.

Fox orders 5 new shows, renews Lie to Me & Human Target

May 13, 2010 By Marie F

Ahead of its upfront presentations next week, Fox has announced five new series it has picked up for the Fall 2010 season, as well as two (somewhat  unexpected) renewals: Lie to Me and Human Target. Neither of those shows are huge hits in the ratings, but Lie to Me has an A-list star, and Fox might be looking to Human Target to fill the “action hour” void that 24 is going to leave on the schedule.

The five new shows Fox ordered are:

  • RideAlong – an hour-long police drama from creator Shawn Ryan about a cowboy-style cop and a female police chief who try to clean up the streets of Chicago.
  • Midland – a drama about a con artist working in the oil industry. (Boy, that show practically writes itself, doesn’t it?)
  • Keep Hope Alive – a single-camera comedy from creator Greg Garcia about a single parent.
  • Traffic Light – another single-cam comedy centering on male relationships.
  • Wilde Kingdom – a single-cam rom-com starring Will Arnett as a hedonistic Beverly Hills resident who falls in love with an environmentalist, charitable woman who hates his lifestyle and values.

It looks like with those last three, Fox is hoping to build an entire night of back-to-back live-action comedy as a companion to its entirely animated Sunday night of comedy.

NBC orders The Event + 2 more

May 10, 2010 By Marie F

NBC has picked up three new series for its fall season — ahead of the much-anticipated “fall upfront” announcements that are coming in a few days.

Perhaps most exciting of the three is The Event, a high octane conspiracy thriller starring Jason Ritter (pictured) as an everyman who investigates the disappearance of his fiancee, and unwittingly begins to expose the biggest cover-up in U.S. history. His quest will send ripples through the lives of an eclectic band of strangers, including the newly elected U.S. President, the leader of a group of mysterious detainees, and the main character’s own father-in-law. NBC’s press release states, “Their futures are on a collision course in a global conspiracy that could ultimately change the fate of mankind.”

Outsourced is a new comedy by one of the producers of The Office. It’s about a culture clash that occurrs when an “all-American company” that sells novelty items outsources its call center to India. Todd Dempsy stars as the company’s new manager who learns that he’s being transferred to India to run the new call center.

Lastly, Love Bites is an hour-long romantic comedy anthology (there’s three words you don’t see together often), featuring three loosely connected, modern stories of love, sex, marriage, and dating. Each episode contains multiple vignettes, all illuminating the theme of love with an edgy, irreverent spin. Becki Newton and Jordana Spiro anchor the series with their ongoing tales of attempted romance, while other characters will come and go each week.

NBC is proving to be the most web-savvy network of the new season, as it’s already registered Twitter accounts for all three series: @NBCTheEvent, @OutsourcedNBC, and @NBCLoveBites.
