That's the mom from How I Met Your Mom, right? I still haven't watched that last season--waiting for it to come to Netflix. I'm curious how Greg Poehler is related to Amy Poehler. Brother?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know, dear, I haven't watched HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER... I tried a few times but it never made me laugh.
DeleteI'm guessing Greg is her brother :)
Welcome to Sweden looks cute.
ReplyDeletewe do need new sitcoms! Many of the old ones have finished or have been cancelled this year. I've only watched three of them last season - SEAN SAVES THE WORLD, HAPPILLY DIVORCED and LAST MAN STANDING, and the first two have been killed :((((
DeleteWelcome to Sweden , very funny trailer !
ReplyDeleteit could easily be Welcome to Belgium too :)
DeleteA to Z and Welcome to Sweden both look like they'll be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the trailer for A TO Z too! I just hope they won't do it they way the sitcom was originally announced - that it will follow their relationship from the courtship to the breakup...
DeleteWelcome to Sweden looks fun, fun, fun!!! :)
ReplyDeleteshould be really funny!
DeleteWelcome to Sweden looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe rest look good, too.
more to come later today!
DeleteI once knew a Swedish twin (no joke). Do I need to tell you more?
ReplyDeletewas there a threesome?
DeleteNope. See, why did you have to ask! Just an ordinary (well....) twosome.
Deleteyou mean you just watched? :PPP
DeleteIt's refreshing to see that there will be a new spate of comedy programmes airing. I think the mood needs lightening as the economy goes swirling down the toilet.
ReplyDeleteI'm horrified that the American Red Cross isn't on site or on its way to help you guys. Usually France, England and US are on spot when something like this happens. Even as part of the EU France and England usually help independently.
My prayers are with you and your people darling.
So many sitcoms have been cancelled recently and the new batch is really needed. I just hope some of them will be good....
DeleteFrance is helping, they even sent us their prime team today. UK and US not, but many people think that US is actually behind the floods, that they used their HAARP in Bosnia to cause those horrid, never before seen, torential clouds which poured rain for days over the Balkans, because they want to destroy our agriculture so that we would buy their GMO seeds.
I looked at some of the pictures. Oh my God, it's terrifying. Houses with water up to the roof and I saw the landslides as well. I also read some stories about the brave rescues by the Russian Special Forces.
DeleteCNN downplayed the flooding in an article I read. They said your President called the flooding "difficult" but that Serbia would recover. I was mad as hell.
It wouldn't surprise me if they did cause the flooding. Don't buy those fecking seeds. They're trying to force them on Chile and the farmers are protesting.
They use the fields where I live to make those seeds. Hundreds and hundreds of miles of experimental fields. The crops from those plants are not eaten in America and many of them look as if they are mutants. They don't even harvest the plants. They just mow them down with their big John Deere tractors in the fall. They also have a rule that once you use their seeds it is illegal for you to use any other type.
Russian rescuers are really heroic, you wouldn't believe how they throw themselves into the water to rescue people, while our own people just stand and watch... We wouldn't know what to do without them, our government is so unprepared and rotten.
DeleteAnd our president is the special case of a scum, dear. It took him two days to issue a statement while people were already drowning and dying. And now he and his wife are going around with cameras for personal marketing....
We have a law according to which GMO is strictly forbidden here, but since the ruling party has been supported by the US I wouldn't be surprised if they secretly put GMO into our system.....
Yes, once you use GMO seeds you cannot use the natural ones because GMO will dominate the field (and the surrounding ones) for centuries... GMO seeds behave like aggressive predators
I have to wonder how long WtS will last.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed for all of them
DeleteI had a pen pal from Sweden when I was in middle school. Such a sweet girl. I think that one looks like it might be a cute show. I may add that one to my list of must see. You are right, we definitely need some new comedies!
ReplyDeletesome more comedies to arrive later today in the second part :)
DeleteA-Z looks wonderful. A bit How I Met Your Mother, but that's ok. I liked that show too :P
ReplyDeleteI like the romantic aspect of A TO Z too! And I love Feldman a lot... although I'm not impressed with the casting of the female lead
DeleteWow. what an assortment. That Sweden series looks hilarious. I wonder how long the noob feature will be able to run.
ReplyDeletesome of them will be cancelled for sure, because rare are the shows which survive for long in today's offer :(
DeleteKelly Brook......colour me happy but the show does sound awful!
ReplyDeleteat least you will have some eyecandy to watch :P
DeleteNone of these shows look particularly appealing. I think they're trying to recapture the magic of Will & Grace (a show I adore).
ReplyDeletebetter luck with the second part of the spotlight, hope you will find something there, Jay
DeleteI like the guys from Fran (and Drop Dead Diva). Don't know he girls. And I don't care for Mad Men.
ReplyDeletewe do love Ben Feldman!
