Michael J Fox hasn’t exactly been out of our lives since he revealed his Parkinson’s diagnosis in ’99 and subsequently left SPIN CITY a short time later – guest parts on dramas like BOSTON LEGAL, RESCUE ME (loved it), and most recently THE GOOD WIFE, have kept Alex P Keaton around. But it has been a while since we’ve gotten to see Fox do what we know he’s great at: headline a sitcom with his typical sarcastic style of comedy.
The Double Takes are back this season as Amrie and I offer up our opinions of some new fall shows without knowing what the other is thinking. In most cases this season, it seems we tend to disagree ha! Today’s DT is about ABC’s BACK IN THE GAME, starring James Caan, Maggie Lawson, and a bunch of charming little kids. CourtneyK – First Impression: It wasn’t terrible. I actually kinda liked it. Divorced Single Mom (Lawson) with father issues
If you remember back to last year, right around this time, I wasn’t exactly giving CHICAGO FIRE a glowing review, calling it a bunch of hot bodies but not much else. As I watched season 1 roll out, however, with the drama that came along with it (the rogue cops and lost lives and secret drug use, etc), I found myself pleasantly surprised, and excited for Season 2. The wait is over as Season 2 premieres tonight (on a new
Tonight on ABC, one of my favorite new series of the 2013-2014 season kicks off at 9:30/8:30c. What show you ask? TROPHY WIFE, starring Bradley Whitford (never a bad decision), Malin Akerman, Marcia Gay Harden, Michaela Watkins, and Natalie Morales. As the image above shows you – Pete and Kate are married (she’s wife #3). He was previously married to Diane (Harden) and they have two kids: Hillary and Warren. He was then married to Jackie (Watkins) and they adopted
The Double Takes are back this season as Amrie and I offer up our opinions of some new fall shows without knowing what the other is thinking. In most cases this season, it seems we tend to disagree ha! However, this next DT is one about which we DEFINITELY do agree – LUCKY 7 on ABC. LUCKY 7 tells the story of a ragtag bunch of folks that work at a run down gas station / car shop. Their lives
The Double Takes are back this season as CourtneyK and I offer up our opinions of some new fall shows without knowing what the other is thinking. In most cases this season, it seems we tend to disagree ha! Today, we’re tackling THE GOLDBERGS, a family comedy set in the 80s from the mind of Adam F Goldberg (BREAKING IN; this guy, not this guy). The series stars Wendi McLendon-Covey and Jeff Garlin, as well as George Segal, and a
The final season of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER starts tonight on CBS with 2 all new back to back episodes. The gang is going to start meeting the mother, and from the looks of it, Lily meets her on the train! Check out some other photos from tonight’s premiere at 8/7c (after the jump), only on CBS.
Tonight on LAST MAN STANDING’s third season premiere, Mike learns that Kyle’s new-found interest in philosophy is distracting him from his work, and Mike worries about Boyd attending a bilingual school, but the big news is really that Willie and Uncle Si Robertson from History’s HUGE ratings-grabbing hit DUCK DYNASTY join Mike and the family for some in store and at home conversation. Check out some gallery shots of the cast, and some episodic shots of the gang (and don’t
Talk about a turn-around! Last year, I wrote this piece about THE MINDY PROJECT that wasn’t exactly a flowering review. But I stand by my earlier assessment, and I happily watched the show that I wasn’t sure about become of my go-to favorite ensemble comedies across the course of a constantly changing first season. As the writers began to figure out what did and didn’t work (good-bye Amanda Setton, and hello again Beth Grant), the actors found their footing and
Are you all as excited as I am about NEW GIRL’s Season 3 premiere, tonight at 9/8c on FOX? Been counting down the days for this one! The official description of Season Three goes a little something like this: “In the upcoming third season, Jess and Nick will go “all-in” on their relationship, but they will have to overcome some major obstacles, not the least of which just might be Schmidt. Following Cece’s aborted wedding, Schmidt finds himself unable to
