The Results Are In: Recast "Family Matters"

BuzzSugar — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 14:30:15 -0700

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

It's true, "Family Matters" is one of those shows that is difficult to recast, since the performances - especially that of Steve Urkel - have become so iconic. I really liked some of the suggestions put forth by everyone this week, though, like La-Ma's idea of Wanda Sykes playing Harriette Winslow and mrspiven's suggestion of Eddie Murphy dressing in drag to play Mother Winslow (a la The Nutty Professor).

Yet my favorite list this week comes from laneylaney. I like it mostly because without even seeing this cast in action they're making me laugh. To see who laneylaney picked along with a new cast photo, read more

laneylaney's cast:
Harriett Winslow - Chandra Wilson
Carl Winslow - Tracy Morgan
Eddie Winslow - Chris Brown
Laura Winslow - Keke Palmer
Rachel Crawford - Tyra Banks
Richie Crawford - Brandon Ratliff
Mother Winslow - Irma P. Hall
Steve Urkel - Jeremy Suarez

TV Tonight: The "30 Rock" Finale

BuzzSugar — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 03:58:33 -0700

"30 Rock" had a rough start this season, with uneven episodes, low ratings and the unfortunate fate of being one of two NBC series going behind the scenes at late-night shows. And yet, it's become one of the shows I most look forward to watching every Thursday night. The show got better the second it ditched the weak Rachel Dratch cameos and gave its other actors room to work. Say what you will about Alec Baldwin these days, but his Jack Donaghy is one of the most consistently funny characters on TV (so, uh, he better not be going anywhere). Tina Fey figured out how to write Liz Lemon as a modern-day Mary Tyler Moore, Tracy Morgan got less annoying, and the supporting cast - most of all the wonderful Jack McBrayer (don't forget to read my interview with him!) - gave the show dimension. I'm thrilled that it will be back in the fall.

But first, we must say goodbye with the final "30 Rock" of the season, guest-starring Sean Hayes as Kenneth's cousin. Jack's mom shows up, and Liz tries to make things work with Floyd, who's apparently off to Cleveland. Plus, Tracy is still missing, and Kenneth is tasked with finding him.

Laugh of the Day: Tracy Jordan in "Jefferson"

BuzzSugar — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 12:48:55 -0700

Need a laugh to get you through the weekend? Check out this awesome clip from this week's "30 Rock." Tracy Jordan (played by Tracy Morgan) has recently discovered that he's descended from Thomas Jefferson. To prove that he can make serious movies, he pitches a film version of Jefferson's life, in which he'd play all the roles himself. He procures a horse, slathers on the whiteface, and puts together a pretty astounding trailer, which you can see if you read more

TV Tonight: "30 Rock"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 06:00:12 -0800

I guess because it's technically March now, a lot of shows think it's OK to declare themselves done with February Sweeps and go into hiding for a few weeks. Most of Thursday's heavy hitters, including "Grey's Anatomy" and "The Office," are airing repeats tonight. On the upside, that will give me plenty of time to get cozy with Alec Baldwin on "30 Rock." Tonight's episode sounds like comedy gold, with guest appearances by LL Cool J and Ghostface Killah and a plotline that has Kenneth (Kenneth!) catching the eye of a hip-hop star's girlfriend. Oh, yes. To see a clip, read more

What Do You Think About the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series?

BuzzSugar — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 17:35:16 -0700

Jon Cryer is the winner of the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Two and a Half Men. He beat out Kevin Dillon, Neil Patrick Harris, Rainn Wilson, Tracy Morgan, and Jack McBrayer.

I was really pulling for NPH, but at least Cryer kept his speech short, sweet, and admittedly funny. What do you think about this win?
