From kids who baptize their cats and dogs so that they will go to heaven to adults who mortgage the house to keep favorite pets alive, we love our animals. Zookeeper takes the opposite approach — a situation where animals are so in love with their keeper that they reveal the secret that they can […] […]
The comedy Horrible Bosses features three helpless schmucks (played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis) who meet over drinks to diss three of the worst bosses in film history. But the fact that the put-on employees’ plot to kill their bosses become funny is because the bosses are so over-the-top horrible. Two of the actors playing bosses, Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey, have played villains before, but for Friends star Jennifer Aniston, the role of sexual predator was new to her. She plays a dentist whose hilariously overt advances toward her assistant are the likely reason the film […]
By Stacey Harrison Follow @ChannelGuideSRH I can imagine the thought process when the producers of The League were looking to cast the guest role of a pornographer named Dirty Randy. One of them undoubtedly said, “Let’s get a Seth Rogen type.” To which another responded, “Well, why don’t we see if we can just get the man himself.” All’s well that ends well, as the Season 3 premiere — airing tonight at 10:30 on FX — features Rogen as a professional smut peddler who helps the gang pull a prank on the long-suffering Andre by secretly shooting a skin flick […]
By Stacey Harrison Follow @ChannelGuideSRH Show of hands: Who thought the guy behind “Eat It” would still be making music — and arguably enjoying his biggest successes — nearly 30 years later? Somehow, some way “Weird Al” Yankovic has stayed relevant. Through Michael Jackson’s many personas, Madonna, grunge, nu-metal, hip hop and countless other genre shifts, he’s kept his jovial parodies — which occasionally have more bite than you might expect — coming. His latest album, Alpocalypse, which is spearheaded by the Lady Gaga goof “Perform This Way,” scored his highest-ever chart debut. He’s currently touring in support of the […]
By Jeff Pfeiffer Follow @ChannelGuideJP This Sunday’s (Oct. 2) new episodes of The Cleveland Show, Family Guy and American Dad will be series crossover episodes focused around a hurricane that hits the shows’ respective cities of Stoolbend, Quahog and Langley Falls. These episodes were originally slated to air last spring, but were postponed out of respect to the victims of the devastating tornadoes and storms that battered the South at that time. Since then, various other storms have not shown Mother Nature has any inclination to ease up too much, so perhaps FOX is trying to squeeze these in before […]
Portlandia fans, rejoice. IFC’s original comedy starring Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live) and Carrie Brownstein (Wild Flag, Sleater-Kinney) will return with Season 2 Monday, Jan. 9, 2012 — bringing a bevy of talent both likely and unlikely to the show’s (arguably?) fictional version of Portland. Some of the names arriving in Portlandia for the new season are logical enough — Andy Samberg and Kristen Wiig, both SNL castmates of Armisen’s, will be taking part in skewering the Pacific Northwest town. More out of left field will be additions like Penny Marshall, Jack McBrayer, Tim Robbins and Amber Tamblyn. As always, […]
By Tom Comi Follow @ChannelGuide How much toothpaste has to be squeezed out of the Glee tube before creator Ryan Murphy realizes he’s not going to be able to get it back in? After a lackluster second season that was skewered by critics and fans alike, show enthusiasts tuned in for the season 3 premiere Tuesday night hoping that Murphy had gotten the message. Unfortunately, he didn’t.
FOX’s new sitcom New Girl premieres Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 9pm ET/PT and stars Zooey Deschanel as Jess, an awkward single girl who moves into an apartment with three equally awkward guys. You can read more about the series and what we thought of the pilot episode here at our Fall TV Preview. Deschanel joined reporters on a conference call last week to talk about taking on the new challenge of New Girl: On being the “It” girl vs. flying under the radar: Zooey Deschanel It’s good being both. I always think of myself, in my mind, I always think […]
By Tom Comi Follow @ChannelGuide You really have to hand it to Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre — the man really knows how to throw a funeral. All eyes were on CBS, Lorre and Ashton Kutcher last night to see if and how Two and a Half Men could thrive without embattled star Charlie Sheen (whose character goes by the same first name). And from the opening scene when his brother Alan (Jon Cryer) was delivering the eulogy at Charlie’s funeral, we knew immediately that the show was not going to skip a beat.
Somewhere between the proposal and the honeymoon is the wedding and all the excesses that go with the biggest day of a bride’s life. It can be trying for the happy couple, but often even more so for the bridesmaids who must live with, and help foot the bill for, the excesses. This was perfect fodder for producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up) to create a chick flick version of The Hangover — the comedy blockbuster Bridesmaids. He drew on the writing and acting talents of Saturday Night Live comedian Kristen Wiig, who also appeared in Knocked Up. “Every time we […]
