The Gang is back for more “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” tonight on FX

September 15, 2011 StayTuned Staff

By Stacey Harrison Follow @ChannelGuideSRH Dead hookers, dramatic weight gain and a drug-fueled crime rampage are just part and parcel with every new season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The riotous FX comedy returns for its seventh go-round tonight at 10pm with an episode called “Frank’s Pretty Woman,” in which Frank (Danny DeVito) decides he wants to marry his longtime beck-and-call girl, a junkie whore named Roxy (Alanna Ubach). Viewers will also finally get to see in all its corpulent glory the extra 50 pounds star Rob McElhenney packed on for this season. He says it was intentional — […]

“Melissa & Joey” season finale turns up the romantic tension

September 14, 2011 StayTuned Staff

Michael J. Fox part of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” Season 8 finale on HBO

September 10, 2011 Barb Oates

By Barb Oates Follow @ChannelGuide When it comes to Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm there’s a definite “love it” or “hate it” reaction to it. My husband cringes when he hears the theme song and exits the room quickly. Our art director scoffs at it, claiming he “just doesn’t get it.” But then there’s the rest of us who revert to traditional water cooler chatter about this season’s oh-so-familiar social faux pas from the simplest buffet line “chat and cut” to “upstreaming” when hailing a taxi to misinterpreting the meaning of a Japanese bow and so much more. For eight […]

Air travel and 9/11 … are some networks taking advantage?

September 9, 2011 StayTuned Staff

by Karl J. Paloucek Follow @ChannelGuide I’ve been accused of a number of things in my lifetime, and if there’s one thing I have to cop to, it’s confusing people at times as to whether I’m serious or joking. In truth, sometimes I’m not even sure. Sometimes a topic has sufficient irony to lend itself to being oddly humorous and at the same time, it might not be appropriately timed for humor. I’m not even sure that what I want to discuss here is one of those topics, but consider yourselves forewarned — I feel like it’s gonna be one […]

“Wilfred” barks up an ambiguous tree in Season 1 finale

September 8, 2011 StayTuned Staff

A man talking to a guy in a dog suit, who everyone else sees as just a dog, might seem a tough concept on which to build an ongoing series. But the surreal FX comedy Wilfred has managed to surprise with each and every episode, bringing far more depth and pathos to a show that also has a fair amount of poop jokes. A second season is on the way, and tonight’s episode, “Identity” — airing tonight at 10 — will bring the first season to a close with a tricky finale that sees nice guy Ryan (Elijah Wood) go […]

VOD Spotlight: “Everything Must Go”

September 2, 2011 Jeff Pfeiffer

Raymond Carver wrote the story “Why Don’t You Dance?” — on which the Will Ferrell vehicle Everything Must Go is based — more than 30 years ago, but its lessons are possibly truer today than they were at the time of its creation. The story traces the experiences of a down-and-out salesman (Will Ferrell) who loses his job and his wife and ends up with all of his belongings on the front lawn, where he has to learn to start a new life for himself. According to producer Wyck Godfrey, the story’s relevance to today is what he and the […]

September 1, 2011 StayTuned Staff

by Karl J. Paloucek Follow @ChannelGuide Well, AMC may be having to sit on production of Mad Men for the moment, but that hasn’t stopped the network from broadening its assets. Today, AMC announced that another of its ambitious series, The Walking Dead, will commence its 13-episode Season 2 with a special 90-minute premiere Oct. 16 as the start of its annual two-week Fearfest celebration. More spectacularly, AMC has also announced the greenlighting of two new original series. Both are still only provisionally titled, but are as conceptually compelling as anything the network has dished out so far, from Breaking […]
