'SEAN SAVES THE WORLD'
We're having a comedy day this Tuesday at HOLLYWOOD SPY, starting with SEAN SAVES THE WORLD sitcom which has just gained new cast members. The popular NBC sitcom in which WILL AND GRACE star Sean Hayes plays a successful gay man who suddenly has to take care of his teenage daughter who moves over to his place, will now have gorgeous Portia de Rosi playing Sean's ex wife, a resourceful, high-powered attorney. But Sean will also reunite with his best friend from WILL AND GRACE, since Megan Mullaly, who played crazy and eccentric Karen in the old sitcom, will now play Sean's sister in SEAN SAVES THE WORLD.

CW'S 'THE 100' SCIENCE FICTION SHOW TO PREMIER IN MARCH
THEY'RE MANKIND'S ONLY HOPE!
And to finish the day in the world of TV, CW has finally announced the premier date of their upcoming new sf show THE 100 which will land into the small screens March 19th! Ninety-seven years ago, nuclear Armageddon decimated planet Earth, destroying civilization. The only survivors were the 400 inhabitants of 12 international space stations that were in orbit at the time. Three generations have been born in space, the survivors now number 4,000, and resources are running out on their dying “Ark” ─ the 12 stations now linked together and repurposed to keep the survivors alive.
Draconian measures including capital punishment and population control
are the order of the day, as the leaders of the Ark take ruthless steps to ensure their future, including secretly exiling a group of 100 juvenile prisoners to the Earth’s surface to test whether it’s habitable. For the first time in nearly a century, humans have returned to planet Earth. Kelly Hu, Christopher Larkin, Eliza Taylor and Eli Goree lead the cast!
The 100 sounds good.The CW must have a thing for young actors in there shows.
ReplyDeleteit's a teen network if I got it right :) I'm only watching their REIGN show, since I never miss anything historical, and it's a total teensy affair :)
DeletePoor Matthew Perry has not had a lot of luck with his recent sitcoms. Maybe "The Odd Couple" will pay off although I might have cast him as Felix, not Oscar.
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel sorry for him too, especially since he deserves success, he is such a great comedian. It's funny how three best comedians in FRIENDS, him, Kudrow and Schwimmer, are the only ones who haven't had huge success after the sitcom, while the less talented ones have :(
DeleteMatthew Perry is a funny guy, sadly they want Chandler Bing-style... He is much more than, twitchy. I loves me some Megan Mullaly... oh, yes... I said it!
ReplyDeleteI loved them both. Chandler was my fave in FRIENDS and Karen was the only reason I watched WILL AND GRACE :)
DeleteTHE 100 just amazing ! I love it Dezmond .
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
I'm excited about it too, I love apocalyptic shows :)
DeleteSean and Megan together again. YIPPEE!!!!!! I love them both!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey were such a great pair!
DeleteI do like Matthew Perry, but I fear this project will fail. First, I don't think it should be done as the original is a classic and any attempt to re do it would be just "Two guys who live together" And I agree with Debra, he would make a better Felix.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for him, he is such a great comedian and deserves success
DeleteFirst of all, I LOVE MEGAN!!! She is so funny! I am excited to see her with Sean again. They have amazing chemistry!
ReplyDeleteSecond...gotta agree with Anne. Matthew Perry and his Odd Couple project are going to fail.
Please...someone get an original idea!!
I've just found out that Megan's husband is also a comedian. I haven't known that before.
DeleteOh yes. Nick Offerman. They are one of my favorite couples. And he is a trip too. She has actually guested on his show "Parks and Recreation" as one of his crazy ex-wives.
Deletethey have a picture in which they're both posing naked together like in old Renaissance paintings LOL It's a sight to see :)
DeleteOh yes! I've seen it! They are a joy :)
Deletetrue delight :)
DeleteI really liked Perry in his last sitcom, Go On, and I was sad to see it go.
ReplyDeletethey usually kill the best of sitcoms, I still cannot recover from the cancellation of HAPPILY DIVORCED. It was such a lovely sitcom.
DeleteThe 100 looks pretty cool. I'm sitting here looking at the two posters. That's some serious photo shopping to make the two versions!
ReplyDeleteWe do love us Photo shopping :)
DeleteMatthew Perry will be perfect in the Odd Couple!. I did love that series :)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the original, but I agree that he should be good in it :)
DeleteMatthew Perry will be perfect in the Odd Couple!. I did love that series :)
ReplyDeleteagreed :)
DeleteClearly I stepped into the Twilight Zone! Two comments ... exactly the same. Sorry!
Deleteit happens sometimes at Blogger :)
DeleteI like some of these actors here so when the first two shows hit NetFlix, I'll give them a go.
ReplyDeleteYou probably won't regret it!
Deletecan't wait to see how Mathew Perry performs. He is a great actor. Loved him in Friends and Go On.
ReplyDeleteHe always makes us laugh
DeleteI love Matthew Perry. I think this is going to be a great sitcom. Can't wait to see 100.
ReplyDeleteI love him too a lot, Sandra
DeleteThe 100 looks pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteI think so too, Ray
DeleteI wasn't a huge fan of Will & Grace, but the episodes I caught, I really liked Sean & Megan. Their reuniting will please many fans for sure.
ReplyDeleteNow, on to more important things... where do I find these chocolate cakes you speak of? I told my daughter we would bake a chocolate cake for her birthday, and I haven't even begun researching recipes. Direct me to your cakes, dear Dezzy! This mama is getting desperate :)
Yes, I also watched WILL AND GRACE only for Karen and Rosario :) The rest of the stories were often drawn out and not creative.
DeleteYou can find the link for my cakes both up in the third slide show banner :) and in today's post :)
Weren't Chandler and Joey the original Odd Couple?
ReplyDeletequite possible they were
DeleteI used to adore sitcoms and watched just about any out there. I'm missing so many of them these days. I'd like to watch the ones mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI adore sitcoms, especially the family ones, they bring such positivity and relaxation
DeleteThe 100 sounds excellent lets hope its good and that the earth has some nice mutated beasts.
ReplyDeleteYes, we already have mutated brains in humans :) so why not some beasts too :)
