Alan Tudyk stars as late baseball manager Ben Chapman in the new Jackie Robinson biopic 42, which took the top spot at the box office over the weekend. The actor is best known for his comedic work, so when he stopped by our LA studios recently, he told us portraying the well-documented racist was outside his comfort zone in more ways than one. He also spoke to us about his role on Suburgatory and hinted that his character, Noah, will have a chance to get revenge on the man who stole his girlfriend in an upcoming episode. Watch our interview to see what else Alan had to say about working alongside Harrison Ford and why Jackie's story should make Americans proud.

The suburban families of ABC's The Middle, Suburgatory, and Last Man Standing hit neighborhood streets for a little trick-or-treating during their Halloween episodes, with both adults and kids dressing up in costume. Some, like The Middle's Sue, embrace the Halloween spirit with a homemade costume, while others, like Suburgatory's apathetic Tessa, use a single accessory to create a look. Check out the pics to see what the other characters opted for!

Pilot Scoop: Suburgatory

ABC is adding another family comedy to its Wednesday night lineup this Fall, but this time the family unit is only two: father and daughter pair George and Tessa (Jeremy Sisto and Jane Levy).
by

ABC is adding another family comedy to its Wednesday night lineup this Fall, but this time the family unit is only two: father and daughter pair George and Tessa (Jeremy Sisto and Jane Levy). In Suburgatory, George decides it's time to leave Manhattan when he finds a box of condoms in high schooler Tessa's room. He moves them into a big house in the suburbs, where Tessa feels like an outsider among the foreign culture of malls, SUVs, and fake classmates.

Where it works: The dialogue is wickedly funny. Tessa is whip smart while still being a realistic, clever teen (without being too snarky). She's not the only asset to the cast: Cheryl Hines is hilarious as big-haired neighbor Dallas.

Where it doesn't: The show is cute but it may not be distinctive enough from other family comedies like Modern Family to attract viewers.

You might like this show if: You wish Daria had been a live-action comedy.

When it's on: Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. on ABC.

Jeremy Sisto Talks About Returning to Comedy For Suburgatory

The final stretch of the TCA took us to the suburbs for new ABC sitcom Suburgatory.

The final stretch of the TCA took us to the suburbs for new ABC sitcom Suburgatory. Jeremy Sisto stars as a father who moves his teen daughter Tessa (Jane Levy) from the big city to the 'burbs after he finds condoms in her drawer. He then hopes that she'll get a more sheltered upbringing, but the new neighborhood turns out to be scarier in many ways. Creator Emily Kapnek and actors Sisto, Levy, Cheryl Hines and more talked at their panel about where the inspiration for the show came from, and why these crazy characters may not be so crazy after all.

  • Sisto was asked about his move into comedy and he admitted to shying away from it after Clueless, but he's ready to embrace it again. Since his last series, Law & Order, was so dramatic, Sisto said the tone change made him "feel like I've had shackles removed a little." To his credit, costar Hines says that Sisto is "very funny in real life, [but] most people haven't seen that part of his personality."
  • Hines was naturally asked how this experience differs from working on Curb Your Enthusiasm. She said it was completely different, because Curb "is meant to feel almost like a documentary," where everything is low-key, but Kapnek "has created this entire world" with a heightened reality. Of her new show, Hines had lots of compliments to shower, saying the "dialogue is very clever and smart and clearly written . . . as opposed to Curb Your Enthusiasm." Burn?
