Sunday MLB on TBS early 2011 schedule

By Ryan Berenz I usually forget that TBS airs Major League Baseball outside of October. TBS is back this season with its schedule of Sunday afternoon games beginning April 3 at 2pm ET with the Boston Red Sox at the Texas Rangers. For those tired of the constant media barrage of Yankees and Red Sox, TBS did you no favors. Six of the nine games announced involve either the Yanks or Sox, and the Phillies are on the schedule twice. I guess if you want to maximize viewers, Pirates vs. Marlins isn’t going to cut it. The TBS schedule through […]

TBS presents week of Steinbrenner “Seinfeld” episodes

To celebrate the life of late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who passed away last week at the age of 80, TBS will feature 10 episodes of Seinfeld this week that feature the memorable, fictionalized character of Steinbrenner (as voiced by series co-creator Larry David, with actor Lee Bear standing in as Steinbrenner, usually seen only from the back). “Who else could be a memorable character on a television show without actually appearing on the show?” Jerry Seinfeld said after Steinbrenner’s passing. “You felt George even though he wasn’t there.

Funny as “Hell”: TBS introduces us to the demons next door

By Stacey Harrison The Hellmans might be demons, but the real villains are you and I. That’s the joke behind Neighbors From Hell, which adds twisted, satiric animation to TBS‘s “Very Funny” lineup starting tonight. Writer/executive producer Pam Brady brings the biting humor she honed during her years on South Park to the adventures of a family of demons sent by the devil to pose as typical suburbanites (no mean feat, given their green skin, red eyes and pointy ears) in order to prevent a giant energy company from using a high-powered drill to reach the Earth’s core, thereby exposing […]
