Stars: Malin Akerman, Bradley Whitford, Michaela Watkins, Natalie Morales, Ryan Lee, Bailee Madison, Albert Tsai, Marcia Gay Harden Writers: Sarah Haskins & Emily Halpern Director: Jason Moore Network: ABC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: September 24, 2013 Face it, TROPHY WIFE is a terrible concept for a TV series. A hot young blonde named Kate (Malin Akerman) falls for an older man Pete (Bradley Whitford) and marries him. A year later, she’s not part of an integrated family that involves his two ex-wives and his brood of three kids. Now the hot blonde has to be mommy and peacekeeper. Ugh! […]Read On »

Stars: Andy Samburg, Andre Braugher, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Stephanie Beatriz, Chelsea Peretti Writers: Dan Goor Michael Schur Director: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller Network: Fox, airs Tuesday Nights Original Telecast: September 17, 2013 There are some comedy pilots that you know just won’t work, and others that start off strong, but trail off quickly. BROOKLYN NINE-NINE is one of those perfectly good comedies that doesn’t wow in its initial outing, but showcases loads of potential from the cast to the writing and could prove to be a very enduring comedy. What the series has in its favor […]Read On »

In the new CBS comedy THE CRAZY ONES, Robin Williams returns to his first network TV series since MORK & MINDY playing an unorthodox ad agency genius. He’s paired with his daughter Sydney (Sarah Michelle Gellar) who keeps him in check when he goes off the rails. The series debuts September 26, but at the CBS Summer TCA’s, Williams spoke about his return and the similarities between his first TV gig and his latest. “It was weird, because on MORK & MINDY [it was] an open field,” says Williams. “They would literally put in the script ‘Mork does his thing […]Read On »

TV Review: SAVE ME – Season 1 – “Pilot” – Series Premiere

SAVE ME poster | ©2013 NBC

Stars: Anne Heche, Madison Davenport, Michael Landes, Alexandra Breckenridge Writer: John Scott Shepherd Director: Scott Winant Network: NBC, airs Thursdays Original Telecast: May 23, 2013 In the last couple of years, NBC has had the bad habit of greenlighting comedies that unfortunately never air as part of the regular season and are unceremoniously burned off in the summer months. LOVE BITES and FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS were part of this trend and now you can add the high profile Anne Heche starring vehicle SAVE ME to the growing list. Feeling more like a cable comedy than anything on network TV, SAVE […]Read On »

Stars: Josh Gad, Jenna Elfman, Martha MacIsaac, Andre Holland, Amara Miller, Benjamin Stockham and Bill Pullman Writer: Jon Lovett Director: Jason Winer Network: NBC Original Telecast: Dec. 17th, 2012 Chris Farley tried hard to emulate John Belushi before breaking out on his own in the 1990s and now Josh Gad (from the hit Broadway musical BOOK OF MORMON) is trying desperately to mimic Farley, only coming off as a third rate Belushi, without any of the charm both Belushi and Farley embodied. The format Gad is using is an ineptly scripted sitcom named 1600 PENN (which got a sneak preview […]Read On »

Stars: Jon Cryer, Ashton Kutcher, Angus T. Jones, Conchatta Ferrell, Holland Tayler Writers: Don Reo & Jim Patterson, story by Chuck Lorre & Eddie Gorodetsky Director: James Widdoes Network: CBS Original Telecast: Sept. 27th, 2012 Now I can honestly say that I have given Ashton Kutcher more than a fair shot at salvaging TWO AND A HALF MEN. However, as his second season with the show begins (and the tenth overall), there is still a noticeable void in the show that can never be replaced by any actor. As one of the few who didn’t quite understand how Charlie Sheen […]Read On »

Stars: Dakota Johnson, Nat Faxon, Maggie Elizabeth Jones, Lucy Punch, Echo Kellum Writer: Dana Fox Director: Jake Kasdan Network: Fox, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: September 25, 2012 Finally a new comedy series that gets it right from the start. BEN AND KATE is a refreshingly funny, cute and quirky new show created by Dana Fox that is a perfect companion for Fox’s Tuesday night comedies RAISING HOPE and NEW GIRL. The series stars Dakota Johnson as Kate Fox a sweet young adult who made a big mistake right before graduating college – she got pregnant. Her daughter Maddie (Maggie […]Read On »

TV Review: THE NEIGHBORS – Season 1 – “Pilot” – Series Premiere

Stars: Jami Gertz, Lenny Venito, Simon Templeman, Toks Olagundoye, Clara Mamet, Tim Jo, Ian Patrick, Max Charles, Isabella Cramp Writer: Dan Fogelman Director: Chris Koch Network: ABC, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: September 26, 2012 You can’t fault ABC for at least trying something new. Last year, they trotted out their cross-dressing comedy WORK IT (epic fail) and this year they’ve got THE NEIGHBORS, a terribly dated suburban alien comedy that falls completely flat. Ten years ago, a bunch of aliens from the planet Zabvron arrived in a gated New Jersey neighborhood to see if Earth could be inhabitable by […]Read On »

Stars: Mindy Kaling, Chris Messina, Ed Weeks, Anna Camp, Zoe Jarman, Amanda Setton, Stephen Tabolowsky, Ike Barinholtz Writer: Mindy Kaling Director: Charles McDougall Network: Fox, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: September 25, 2012 Mindy Kaling is a love her or hate her performer. As a writer and actress on the long-running THE OFFICE, she was great in short spurts as the self-absorbed Kelly Kapoor. Now that’s she’s branched off and created a new series for herself with THE MINDY PROJECT, it’s clear Kaling is sometimes better in those small spurts. I know there are many people who absolutely love this […]Read On »

TV Review: GUYS WITH KIDS – Season 1 premiere – “Pilot”

Stars: Anthony Anderson, Jesse Bradford, Zach Cregger, Jamie Lynn-Sigler, Tempestt Bledsoe, Erinn Hayes Teleplay: Charlie Grandy based on story by Charlie Grandy, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Ozols Director: Scott Ellis Network: NBC, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: September 12, 2012 My expectations for the new NBC sitcom GUYS WITH KIDS were surprisingly not high. With three dads wearing babies as a fashion accessory, it just appeared like it would be a one-joke show that would be unbearable and quickly fade away. However, there’s a great comedic  pedigree behind the show. The series was created by Jimmy Fallon, Charlie Grandy and Amy […]Read On »
