AMC Revolutionary War Drama 'Turn' Casts First Two Leads

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:06:38 +0000

More and more we've been hearing about AMC's efforts to expand their broadcasting slate, both with the addition of new reality series like 'Freakshow' and 'Immortalized,' as well as the wealth of new dramatic and comedic pilots being put through development to fill the slots of departing series like 'Breaking Bad' and 'Mad Men.' We've certainly kept our eye on Revolutionary War pilot 'Turn,' which today has cast two new leads in Australian newcomers Meegan Warner and Daniel Henshall, but who will they play? Will the drama attract any other recognizable names before its debut?

Kelsey Grammer and Martin Lawrence Developing Odd-Couple Sitcom?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:16:15 +0000

Well, we figured that Kelsey Grammer would need to find something to do after Starz opted not to go through with a third season of political drama 'Boss,' but this isn't exactly what we had in mind. According to new reports, unusually-matched celebrities Grammer and 'Big Momma's House' star Martin Lawrence are looking into the possibility of developing a sitcom together with Lionsgate TV, but what could the series possibly portray? And what might it have to do with FX's 'Anger Management?'

If you’re a Christmas fan, then you know that TV plays a large part in the Christmas experience. It’s just a fact. Whether you’re a Rankin-Bass traditionalist (hello, ‘Rudolph’s Shiny New Year’) or a Grinch-head (you’re a mean one!) or you just like generic sitcoms with Christmas subplots, Christmas TV is a holiday must.

FEAR: The MTV Show That Started The Paranormal TV Experience [VIDEO]

Chris Allen — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 06:39:25 +0000

Before there was Ghost Hunters, before there was Paranormal Witness, or any other show. There was a show on MTV that started the ghost revolution, and the discussion of Paranormal. FEAR aired from 2000 to 2002 on MTV. The program follows a group of 5 or more contestants being left at an allegedly haunted location [...]

Damon Houx — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 17:40:12 +0000

If you thought the idea of rebooting 'The Munsters' for modern times was stupid, you're in luck. NBC looks to be pulling the plug on 'Mockingbird Lane,' which was mostly cast and which played a four minute sizzle reel at Comic Con 2012.

'Fargo' TV Series Coming to FX, Don't Cha Know?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 17:09:25 +0000

With every passing year on the TV landscape, it feels more and more like original ideas are becoming a rarity in favor of re-hashing existing properties. Yet, for every potential 'Fame' reboot we hear about, one actually sounds ripe for a re-imagining. We mean, if 'Fargo' were to come to TV as an episodic series, don't you think you'd check it out? Oh boy, you betcha! But how far along is the deal, and who's involved from the original film?

Robin Williams to Return to TV for CBS Sitcom?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:34:58 +0000

Could Mork be headed back to Earth? It seems Robin Williams’ bite from the TV acting bug might have been bigger than his recent ‘Louie‘ and ‘Wilfred‘ appearances, as the legendary funnyman may have his eye on a new gig at CBS. But what could have lured Williams back to a regular role after over 30 years off the tube, and why does the project have ‘Mad Men‘s Don Draper feeling a shiver up his spine?

Vince Vaughn and Tony Danza Creating ABC Sitcom?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:48:54 +0000

Boy, that Vince Vaughn sure has his plate full these days, and we’re not talking about craft services (okay, probably that too.) Between re-teaming with ‘Wedding Crashers’ star Owen Wilson for ‘The Internship,’ potentially taking on ‘The Rockford Files,’ and developing an FX dominatrix drama, just how will he manage to cram in a new ABC sitcom with Tony Danza? And which of them will be the boss?

'Simpsons' Fans Set Guinness World Record for Continuous TV Watching

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:02:50 +0000

When we heard about ‘The Simpsons’ Ultimate Fan Marathon Challenge, in which ‘Simpsons’ fanatics would compete to see who could watch all 500 episodes of Springfield’s finest in a row, we said it couldn’t be done. Eighty-six hours and 37 minutes of continuous TV watching without any sleep just seemed too much for any human to endure, even though ‘Simpsons’ fans are made of strong stuff (and also beer and doughnuts).

It turns out we were wrong.
