ABC's Fall Schedule: My Take (With Video!)

BuzzSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 16:30:24 -0700

I just finished watching ABC's upfront presentation to advertisers, where the network's executives went over the schedule that was announced this morning and showed clips of the new shows - including Life on Mars, pictured above. The presentation gave me some insight into what ABC's thinking with its schedule, which only includes two new shows for the Fall:

Basically, Fall 2007 was so nice, ABC wants to do it twice. "By far, we had the best Fall in decades," entertainment president Stephen McPherson said, "and then came the lovely strike." So the network is mostly doing it over, bringing back the majority of the new shows from last year.
That doesn't mean ABC isn't actively developing shows for later in the year: They've picked up 20 pilots, split pretty evenly between comedy and drama.
McPherson promoted a few of those shows in his presentation, including Four Play, the new comedy from Will and Grace creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick. If the show is as funny as those two were just talking about it, we'll be in for a treat.
Also funny: clips from ABC's remake of the Web series In the Motherhood. It reminded me a bit of Bravo's Significant Others if all the characters were moms battling bratty children.
On the downside, the presentation ended with clips from Wipeout, the game show with people falling and running into things. The voiceover dared me not to laugh. I didn't laugh.

To see what I thought of the new shows - Life on Mars, reality show Opportunity Knocks, and animated series The Goode Family - and see clips and pictures of them for yourself, just read more.

Life on Mars
I was pleasantly surprised at how faithful the trailer for this BBC remake seemed to the original - and maybe I'm warming to Jason O'Mara as time-traveling detective Sam Tyler after all. Here's a video and pictures:

Opportunity Knocks
This traveling game show seems family-friendly almost to a fault. It definitely reminded me of the Saturday morning game shows of my childhood. I see it as more a companion to America's Funniest Home Videos, though, not necessarily anchoring Tuesday night.

The Goode Family
This animated series about a family of vegan, politically correct, recycle-happy folks from King of the Hill's Mike Judge could either be hilarious or unbearable. From the clip, I was actually leaning toward unbearable. What's your take?

The Cast of Scrubs Put on Their Poker Faces

PopSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:30:00 -0700

The cast of Scrubs had a lot to celebrate last night after their fairy-tale season finale, but instead of poppin' champagne, they opted to try their skills at the poker table at the the Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson's Research Fundraiser. Sarah Chalke looked lovely on scruffy Zach's arm while CaCee Cobb just looked happy to be with her man Donald Faison. Seems like a good time was had by all, but the real question is whether or not Zach tried to recruit a few of his friends to do a little lip syncing for the video he's directing after all the gambling fun.

Scrubs Stars On Their Farewell Tour

Molly — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 12:29:44 -0800

Last night the excellent cast and creators of Scrubs got together at The Paley Center for Media in LA as part of Scrubs: The Farewell Tour. While it looks like we may never get to see the show's intended finale on our television screens, some lucky fans got to watch an episode of the show with the cast before sitting down for a Q & A session. I'm already getting ready to miss the doctors of Sacred Heart and their zany shenanigans, but at least they'll live on in reruns. Sadly, Sarah Chalke couldn't make it to the event, though I would love to ask her and Zach if JD and Elliot were going to end up together. Now that we may never know, they should answer that, right?

To see more from the event including Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Bill Lawrence, Ken Jenkins, Christa Miller, John C. McGinley just read more

Zach Braff Scrubs in For Another Season

PopSugar — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 16:00:16 -0800

Zach may try and play all cool like he's not into the Hollywood thing (that's part of what we like about him), but we know he's not completely above it. Zach hit up super-trendy Nobu this week, probably celebrating the fact that he may become one of the highest paid actors on television. It's contract negotiation time and though Zach made no secret of his wish to leave Scrubs after this season, it looks like if the price is right we may just get another year of JD and all his floating head doctor shenanigans after all.
