The Results Are In: Recast Will and Grace

BuzzSugar — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 15:30:53 -0800

Every other 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!

This week's recast challenge for Will and Grace proved that great minds think alike, as many of you suggested similar actors to take on the roles of Will, Grace, Karen and Jack. Amidst all the Michael Uries for Jack and Isla Fischers to play Grace, there were some other interesting suggestions, like runnerjenn827's idea to put Jane Krakowski in Karen's role, and leeluvfashion'sawesome suggestion of Matthew Rhys playing Will.

I loved mamaseacat's Ugly Betty-inspired cast list, and sorano916's idea of Idina Menzel playing Grace is one of my favorites from this challenge. It was a tough task deciding on just one recast list, but in the end I chose hil34 as this week's winner. Congratulations, hil34! To see who she cast, along with a new cast photo, read more.

hil34's cast:
Will Truman - Neil Patrick Harris
Grace Adler - Isla Fisher
Karen Walker - Kristin Chenoweth
Jack McFarland - Michael Urie

Will and Grace Creators Take On a New Gay-Straight Alliance

BuzzSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 10:30:03 -0800

Will and . . . Will?
The creators of Will and Grace have hit on their next project, a comedy for ABC about another mismatched couple. Instead of a gay male lawyer and a straight female interior designer, the central figures this time are best friends and business partners - both guys, one straight, one gay.

Tell me more.
According to Variety, the story revolves around a test of the two guys' business and personal relationships "when both wind up with serious significant others at the same time. The duo must balance their friendship and their romantic relationships."

Art imitates life?
This sounds like familiar territory for the creators, David Kohan and Max Mutchnick. They happen to be both best friends and business partners - and yes, one is straight and the other gay.

Which Lost Characters Do You Most Want to See in Season 6?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:30:51 -0800

After months and months of waiting for Lost's final season, we're finally in the home stretch! Promos for new episodes have started rolling out (though we won't see a single snip of new footage until next year) and the speculation about who will be returning is heating up more than ever.

A few weeks ago there were rumblings that a character from seasons past had been asked to return but hadn't made a decision yet, and today we learned that it's Maggie Grace. Of course, just because she's yet to confirm an appearance in season six doesn't mean we won't see Shannon. Just last week Sonya Walger said she "didn't know" if we'd be seeing Penny either, but we do know that Ian Somerhalder's pretty face will be making a cameo.

The masterminds behind the show have said that we're going to see lots of old faces in the final season, so while we wait - which Lost characters do you want to see in season 6? Should Walt make a return? What about Charlie and Claire?

Grey's Anatomy Rundown, "Holidaze"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:00:00 -0800

As evidenced in my holiday TV sneak peek, this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy puts the doctors on a fast track that starts on Thanksgiving eve and runs through New Year's Eve. As we all know by now, the Seattle Grace surgeons aren't always big on merriment, but the holidays are always the perfect time to bring out the truth in feelings and relationships.

Meredith bonds with the Chief while Mark learns that he has a teenage daughter. Bailey has a confrontation with her father and Teddy and Owen's sexual tension comes to a head. To read all about it, just read more.

As the episode opens, the Chief is trying to justify his drinking to Meredith - explaining that his alcoholism was "misdiagnosed" and that he was actually suffering from situational depression. (Um, right.) It's unclear whether Mere takes his word for it because she believes him or feels like she has to, but she accepts his mentorship. Later she bites off Thatcher's head when he suggests that the Chief shouldn't be drinking, and by NYE realizes that he does have a problem, but continues to keep it a secret. There is one good thing that comes from it: Derek and the Chief finally make amends after duking it out all season.
Bailey does her best to avoid acknowledging the holidays because she's afraid to tell her parents about her divorce. Instead, she gladly dives into work - until her father makes a surprise visit on Christmas Eve. After watching Miranda perform surgery, he delivers a way harsh speech about being ashamed of her decision to "break" her family and put work first. At Christmas dinner (with the whole Seattle Grace crew, no less), Miranda finally puts her foot down and tells her dad that she's not willing to settle for a bad relationship. Did anyone else want to slow clap, at this point? Because I did.
Mark gets a blast from the past when a buxom blonde appears at the hospital claiming to be his daughter. (I kind of love that her name is Sloan). Mark isn't exactly thrilled with feeling old, joking that "death has come to call." Lexie is also troubled by the news at first, and I couldn't blame her for slicing her finger when Mark drops the bomb that Sloan is moving in. Two months later, he hasn't made any progress, and it's clear that his daughter isn't exactly a cup of tea. Just when Mark finally gets the nerve to kick her out, Sloan reveals that she's pregnant with a baby of her own. Instead of contemplating his potential grandpa status (talk about feeling old), Mark's paternal instincts kick into gear with impeccable timing and he comforts her. Sidenote: I find it interesting that Mark handles the situation exactly how Quinn wished her parents had on Glee this week - stroking her hair, assuring her that everything would be okay.
Teddy is already coming between Cristina and Owen's relationship, even if just with pages. Still loving her new cardio god, Cristina is happy to be Teddy's bitch (as Alex calls her) and work as a team - until she catches Owen giving Teddy meaningful glances. Owen confronts Teddy and reveals that he had feelings with her when they were overseas together, and in turn Teddy confesses that she's always been in love with him. They are literally this close to kissing, but Owen says he loves Cristina and runs to her instead. Despite their passionate makeout sesh at the end of the episode, I still have an ominous feeling about Cristina's kiss with Avery (who is still giving her flack about her relationship with Owen).

What's your verdict on this week's episode? Are you sad to put Grey's aside for six weeks? Did it put you in the holiday spirit or did it all seem a bit premature? Don't forget to keep the conversation rolling in the Grey's Anatomy McAddicts group in the Buzz Community!
