CBS SITCOM 'THE MCCARTHYS'
TYLER RITTER,LAURIE METCALFE
Over at CBS they are preparing comedy pilot for THE MCCARTHYS which will revolve around a big, sports-crazed Irish Catholic family in Boston and their gay son (to be played by Tyler Ritter, the son of late John Ritter) whose greatest sin is not his sexuality but his desire to spend less time with his family. Kelen Coleman will play his sister and also his room-mate. Jimmy Dunn will be the dim and a little chubby Sean McCarthy, who lives in an attic room off of his brother Gerard’s third-floor apartment. Laurie Metcalfe will play the clan’s loving mother who has no filter and loves having her gay son keep her company when her husband (Jack McGee) and other kids are off coaching basketball games.
You can see his Dad in Tyler Ritter alright. I'd watch this show if only to see Laurie Metcalfe, who is always hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYep, he has his face, seems like a nice chap
DeleteI am so behind the idea of another Bill Cosby show on the air. I am so sick of trashy ideals being tossed in our face at every turn. I would definitely welcome a family friendly show where morals and values hold high.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought as well. Today's TV makes me sick most of the time with the lack of any morals and healthy values and I think that warm family shows is exactly what the world needs in these dark times. Otherwise our kids will grow up thinking those trashy ideals are actually right and good
DeleteRob L still looks good ~ And seeing Cosby return to the show would be good ~ Happy Sunday Dezzy ~
ReplyDeleteeven better than when he was young if you ask me :)
DeleteYep, Cosby, Tim Allan, Fran Drescher and other comedians from the golden age of family sitcoms is exactly what can save today's TV world if you ask me
Great to hear Bill Cosby is going to be back on our TV screens. Love his humour.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually reading a book he wrote called, Time Flies, about the high and lows (more to the point) of getting older. As you can imagine it's rather entertaining :)
I liked watching his show when I was a little kid in the late 80s. And with the upcoming return of BOY MEETS WORLD sitcom, it seems the old comedians are coming back to save the world :)
DeleteRob Lowe looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteBill Cosby brings back so many memories. I loved watching him in the 80s and 90s. Maybe I'll catch his show.
He looks better now than when he was young :)
DeleteDanielle Panabaker is apparently a ice-powered villain. I thought she'd be Flash's love interest.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they will find someone prettier for his love interest :) Amanda Pays was brilliant as The Flash's love interest in the original show
DeleteRob Lowe appears to have aged well.
ReplyDeletesome candy is sweeter after it spends some time in the pantry :)
DeleteI enjoy the movie, The Money Pitt.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it, but I always liked Shelley Long
