If you’re a fan of ABC’s ‘Happy Endings’, which returns tonight for its season three premiere (spoiler: it’s hilarious), you’ll want to bookmark this video of them doing a live show at UCB Theatre in Los Angeles to watch when you have a free hour. The stellar cast, along with a bunch of the Happy [...]
Well, this is exceptionally good news: “At today’s Marvel Television Presents panel at New York Comic Con, Head of TV Jeph Loeb announced that Clark Gregg will reprise his role as Agent Phil Coulson in the live-action pilot ‘Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D.’! Gregg previously played Coulson in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor and Marvel’s The Avengers, [...]
So it won’t be about The Hulk, as originally rumored. Instead, it’ll focus on S.H.I.E.L.D., with Joss Whedon writing the pilot episode. A few details have emerged about the cast: Agent Grant Ward is deadly, precise and cool under fire. He’s just doesn’t play well with others due to his not-so-great people skills. He’s volatile, [...]
ABC just announced that after a decade on air, Jimmy Kimmel will move up to the 11:35 p.m. time slot to compete against the aging and irrelevant duopoly of Leno/Letterman. He replaces the news program “Nightline” and I’ve got to wonder if late-night television even matters anymore? Part of me feels like Kimmel, Conan, and [...]
According to Deadline, Marvel Studios is discussing a “kernel of an idea” with ABC to bring a new series to TV with “a fairly loose connection” to the Avengers movie universe. So, basically, don’t expect Iron Man, Captain America, or Thor to show up on TV anytime soon. Although, this does lend credence to the rumors that ABC [...]
It’s something of a minor television miracle that not only has ABC’s sitcom Happy Endings survived for two seasons, but that it’s thrived thanks to a hands-off approach by the network. It’s easily one of the five best sitcoms on television today. Rather than improve ratings by noticeably changing course (as Parks and Recreation had [...]
Gawker has a rundown of ABC’s new shows premiering in the fall. The only one that remotely grabbed my attention was ‘Last Resort.’ Here’s what they say about the show: “Synopsis: A nuclear sub is given is orders to fire upon Pakistan and, because those orders are shady in origin, the captain of the sub [...]
True story: last Friday, myself and a few others went to see The Hunger Games (which was awesome, btw, and totally worth seeing in the theaters). The audience was packed with lots of girls between the ages of 12-18 and it was the best movie theater audience I’ve ever been in. That actually sounds pretty [...]
ABC unveiled a promo for the new Krysten Ritter (very Lizzy Caplan-esque) sitcom, which will debut on April 11, 2012 after Modern Family. I probably would have given the pilot a shot just for Ritter’s involvement, but the idea of James Van Der Beek playing a fictionalized version of himself and the cameo by Bryan [...]
Last month Fox announced that it would limit access to shows the day after they air, except to viewers who have logged in with their cable IDs. Everyone else will have to wait eight days to view that content on Fox.com or Hulu. It’s a fairly dumb move that really just encourages piracy more than anything. [...]
