BILLY CRYSTAL RETURNS TO TV
And after the recently announced return of Bill Cosby to TV, and recent returns of Robin Williams and KIRSTIE comedy legends to the small screens, and with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin also taking a gig on TV, another comedy veteran to do a sitcom is Billy Crystal: FX has picked up his THE COMEDIANS comedy show for a whole series. Crystal will play a superstar veteran comedian who is reluctantly paired with a younger, edgier comic (Josh Gad) for a late-night comedy sketch show!

Glad to hear Billy Crystal will be on TV again, AND Lily Tomlin too. She's hilarious. :)
ReplyDeleteshe and Fonda will probably make a hilarious duo! I like the return of old stars to comedy series! It's sad that after Crystal, Cosby, Tim Allen, Kirstie Alley, Fran Drescher... we never actually got a new generation of good comedians so they all have to come back from the retirement
DeleteI was never a big Bill Cosby or Billy Crystal fan (outside The Princess Bride, of course), but it was nice to see Robin Williams enjoy something of a return to form, rather than being wasted in family friendly movies. It's a shame The Crazy Ones didn't get renewed for a second season, because I thought it really hit its stride over the last few episodes.
ReplyDeleteI adore Robin, but the new sitcom wasn't overly appealing to me... he was amazing in it, and so was the rest of the cast, but the first three or four episodes lost me. But I do like the trend of returning old comedians to TV, they usually bring back the quality.
DeleteTom Hardy will make people forget that it is based on a video game. My dancing skills in high school were unmatched...I turned the Hammer into the Cleaver. I'm a legend in my own mind.
ReplyDeleteany video of your skills? :) Would love to have seen it :)
DeleteI think my Mullet broke any evidence.
Delete:)
DeleteI hope the videogame adaptation works. There haven't been a lot of really success ones, have there?
ReplyDeleteAnd those dancers! To be able to move like that! Wow.
dancers are so inspiring, aren't they? So healthy and uplifting ... and gorgeous too :) I myself probably couldn't even lift my leg on a chair LOL
DeleteStep up young and dynamic , great trailer .
ReplyDeleteCheers .
those STEP UP movies bring so much positive and warm fun!
DeleteDo you ever watch Dancing with the Stars? I think is what it's named. I don't watch it but I hear people enjoy the show.
ReplyDeleteI watched STRICTLY COME DANCING years and years ago while we still had BBC on the cable. I check out US version over at YouTube when someone I adore competes, as was the case with Nicole Scherzinger (check her dancing tango at YouTube), my beloved singer. Serbian version begins next week actually but our competitors will probably suck big time. I adored Croatian version of it.
DeleteInteresting that one show, can travel so many countries. As in the cookery shows. I like that.
Deleteit is. And it's fun watching them, the dance, the musical, the cooking ones, because they often have better competitors in foreign editions.
DeleteWe're recently had Serbian version of YOUR FACE SOUNDS FAMILIAR in which famous people imitate their singing colleagues :) Check out our pop star Ana Kokic who won imitating Pink in a breathtaking number: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgh82F-hCU0
We just wrapped up watching Dexter here, so I'm glad that we will get to see Desmond Harrington on the tube again!
ReplyDeletewe do like Desmonds in all variations :)
DeleteStep Up All In has some mighty talented dancers! I don't know how much I'd like the story line, but I'd love to see the dancing!
ReplyDeletethe previous part, STEP UP REVOLUTION, had mindblowing dance routines, it was really out of this world and deeply breathtaking
DeleteLooking forward to Billy Crystal's return.
ReplyDeletewe need good comedians on TV
DeleteI am looking forward to Tom Hardy-he is so versatile!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday Dezzy!
happy weekend, Ella!
DeleteAnother video game movie...
ReplyDeleteyep, there's a bunch of them waiting to be produced.... with them and superhero movies it seems Hollywood can't make anything else :(
DeleteI've missed these dance movies. I need to see them.
ReplyDeleteSome handsome men here.
we do adore dance movies! And handsome hunks here too :)
DeleteI'm starting to sweat already, Dezz. It must be the deplorable shape I'm in.
ReplyDeletecan't be any more deplorable than my own :) I'm visiting my cardiologist tomorrow to see if me will live long and prosper or if me will be a doomed little walrus :)
DeleteKeeping my fingers crossed. And don't believe everything they say. Just believe everything I say.
DeleteIt's strange, but I'm kinda having the same feelings about my doomed health as you are, Blue. Just as with your damned sarcosis, my heart has had too much trouble to undergo and survive, and it needs medications. I've no idea how long it will keep serving me... Wish the two of us weren't so blue... Blue!
