People of Earth: TBS’ Interplanetary Laugher Gets Weird in the Best of Ways

October 21, 2016 Lori Acken

Ozzie Graham is seeing things. Well, one thing, really. A deer — just like the one he smacked with his car outside of teensy Beacon, N.Y. Only the buck didn’t stop there. He randomly reappears. And sometimes multiplies. And sometimes talks. The situation leaves crack reporter Ozzie (played with delicious deadpan by The Daily Show’s Wyatt Cenac) relegated to writing click-bait one-offs while he gets over his … weirdness … from the crash. And, thus, lands him back in Beacon to check out the members of Starcrossed, a support group for folks who believe they’ve had alien encounters. But — […]

Wrecked — Lost Meets Laughs in New TBS Comedy

June 9, 2016 Lori Acken

Wrecked premieres with back-to-back episodes Tuesday, June 14, at 10/9CT on TBS. Sure, Lost was some seriously iconic television, but it was also just so … earnest. For their new TBS comedy Wrecked, creators Jordan and Justin Shipley also bring down a plane on a deserted isle, but swap out the supernatural navel-gazing for a whole bunch of funny. In the half-hour laugher, which filmed in Puerto Rico, a goofy batch of Thailand-bound travelers must learn to live with one another — and without modern comforts — post-plane crash. Among your companions on this ill-fated trip: • About A Boy‘s Zach Cregger […]

May 16, 2016 Barb Oates

If you haven’t caught on to The Detour on TBS yet, it’s not too late. The comedy series from Jason Jones and Samantha Bee is honestly one of THE FUNNIEST shows on TV today (it got a second season pickup almost immediately). The series airs tonight on TBS at 9pmET. Tonight’s episode, “The Road,” finds  Nate (Jason Jones) and Robin (Natalie Zea) taking a trip down memory lane. While stuck in traffic on their family road trip from hell, the couple share differing stories on how they met to their more than attentive children. The episode is full of jaw-dropping, […]

Funniest Mom Ever: The Detour’s Natalie Zea talks Debbie Reynolds, cars and breast milk?

May 9, 2016 Barb Oates

That didn’t just happen. Yep, she ate all of those pot-laced gummy bears and left her husband naked at the Swift Stays Suite pool. That’s the loopy, making-the-best-of-this-road-trip-gone-bad Robin Parker, whose questionable parenting — combined with such sincere explanations — make her one of the funniest moms on TV today. Natalie Zea is comic gold as Robin in the TBS breakout comedy The Detour (Mondays 9pm ET). The series comes from comedy’s new powerhouse couple Jason Jones and Samantha Bee and is achingly hilarious. The former Justified star (she played Raylan Givens’ love interest Winona) and The Following (she was Joe […]
