STARZ' 'OUTLANDER'
WHAT IF YOUR FUTURE ... WAS 
THE PAST?
THE PAST?
We're having SUMMER 2014 NEW TV SHOWS weekend at HOLLYWOOD SPY, first part today with family shows, and on Sunday comes the second part. We shall start the first part today with Starz' biggest project this summer - historical adventure series OUTLANDER which will start airing August 9th! Based on the bestselling novels by Diana Gabaldon the 16 episode series will star Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Tobias Menzies, Graham McTavish and Lotte Verbeek! OUTLANDER follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously 
swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an
unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry
Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate relationship is ignited that tears Claire's heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

YOUNG & HUNGRY
BELIEVE IN YOUR SELFIE! Another new show that might interest female audience will be new ABC Family sitcom YOUNG & HUNGRY starring Emily Osment, Rex Lee, Jonathan Sadowski and Kym Whitley. Two worlds collide when Josh, a wealthy young tech entrepreneur, meets Gabi, a feisty young food blogger, looking to be his personal chef. When Josh enlists Gabi to prepare a romantic meal for him and his girlfriend, the dinner goes awry and Gabi finds herself in a very awkward position.
With the help of her

situation into an opportunity for employment and maybe even love. The
hunger starts June 25th!

Oh, thank you for that Outlander clip. That was longer than the one I'd seen. And I love that poster. It's so perfect the way she's being pulled in two directions. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd happy weekend to you!
Yep, I've told you recently that they really need to give us some posters and character photo shoot pics, and we finally get at least a poster! I like it too! Some more action and drama shows tomorrow :)
DeleteI like the concept of Outlander. I don't know what I'd do in the past...ok I would try to make myself rich off my knowledge of the past.
ReplyDeleteI often asked myself that question too.... and it always got me sad because I know so little of science and technology that I wouldn't be of much help to the people in the past :( I could spread intrigues and plots at some court though :)
DeleteOutlander is definitely one I'd like to see.
ReplyDeletethe ladies will lurv that one.... lots of Scots in kilts :)
DeleteMy fave TV series about cancer is the hilarious and raunchy cable show "The Big C" starring the wonderful Laura Linney! Watch it if you get a chance! There are 4 seasons worth.
ReplyDeleteI don't like her as an actress. This one will be more serious one, methinks, but inspiring
DeleteThree very different selections there.
ReplyDeleteand some even more different ones coming up tomorrow :)
DeleteOutlander has my attention, never knew about the books though.
ReplyDeleteladies love those books, Fran
DeleteEmily Osment... she is a cutey... i am down for all the shows, though i won't watch anything new until it has one full season first.
ReplyDeletepffttt.... although I do get your point....
DeleteOUTLANDER sounds right up my alley! My only hope is that it runs its course. So many don't, leaving so many of us disappointed!
ReplyDeleteit's true, many of the historical shows have left me disappointed in recent years, so I hope this one won't. So far, from the trailers, I don't like the art production and visuals
DeleteI love the Outlander series and was excited when I saw the post, then I saw it was a series and not a movie and I grew concerned. Hopeful they will finish it in the 16 episodes. I'm just a big ball of mixed feeling now.
ReplyDeleteand that is just first season, if it is successful there will be more than 16 episodes :) It's quite unusual, since Starz doesn't do shows with more than 10 episodes per season
DeleteI got your comment. No chocolate for the last
ReplyDeletetwo years? I'm with you though, lemon all the
way. I don't even have to think about it.
Yep, since, as a vegetarian I eat almost nothing that is industrially produced and I have cleansed my organism over the years, chocolate, which is made from almost 200 ingredients, gives me pimples and ruins my tan :) It is not easy, since most of the sweet products tend to have chocolate or cocoa, but I've no choice....
DeleteCan't have Dezzy getting pimples now ... :)
Deletebut, really, it's horrible, I look like a Hindu freak then since it happens right above my nose :)
DeleteThat - is - not - a - good - look. Dezzy can't be seen looking like a Hindu freak! :)
Deleteme is enough freak as it is :)
DeleteEnough is not enough.
Deletewhat?
DeleteHave you tried cocoa nibs? Oh my gosh, the ones I've eaten are fantastic little bits of the cocoa bean.
DeleteI've no idea what those are... but the cocoa in the chocolate is one of the main elements that give me acne :) I avoid it big time and have it only when I make cakes for others
DeleteDoes ABC Family even come out in Serbia? Or are the shows kinda sent through whatever channels will take them?
ReplyDeletewe don't have any of the US channels, and it is like that all over the world. Your channels are aired only in US. Some of them have international cable channels (Fox for example, or HBO, or BBC, TLC) and the shows are aired either on them or some of our national channels buy the shows. But since that often takes tones of time, we usually Torrent most of our fresh episodes :)
DeleteMy girls really liked Emily Osment on Hannah Montana. I bet they would like her new show!
ReplyDeleteshe is cute and nice, and I see she has big fandom since this post has been retweeted by a number of her fan groups, which is always lovely
DeleteAh, Outlander. I only read the first book but it was good. very good.
ReplyDeletehope you will enjoy the show too!
DeleteDefine "the past"... 1960s or the burn-that-witch! past?
ReplyDeleteshow what is under your Highlander kilt past :)
DeleteI mean to say ... you two! Boys :)
Deletewhat? I bet most of the ladies will watch OUTLANDER for all the kilts :)
DeleteHaha! Good point, Dezzy :)
DeleteAnd you know I tend to wear kilts on hot and sunny days.
Deletesarong is not the same as kilt :)
DeleteInteresting new shows. They all show promise.
ReplyDeleteagreed!
