JON DORE TO LEAD CBS'
NEW SITCOM 'THE HALF OF IT'
If medical and historical shows aren't your choice, maybe some comedy for you? 'Deadline' reports that Jon Dore has been chosen as the main star of THE HALF OF IT new multi camera sitcom at CBS! The comedy revolves around Mike (Jon Dore), a newly divorced dad who revels in the fact that he now gets to keep half his stuff, which is more than he ever had when he was married. Mike is dealing with mixed feelings: half of him is the excited, upbeat single guy and the other half is the single dad who is in over his head with single parenting.
Ray Winstone always turns in a good, solid performance in anything he does.
ReplyDeletehe should be really great as a king
DeleteGosh, another medical soap? When will they run out of story lines? Having said that, I always say someone could make a reality show just filming the 42 female employees at Uncle Jeffy's plastic surgery practice 'cause there's some damn drama right there!
ReplyDeleteyes, it is strange how we didn't get more plastic surgery shows after NIP/TUCK which was brilliant
DeleteI could do with a nip n' tuck.
Deletenot as much as I could.... I'm 35 years overdue :(
DeleteSay it ain't so.
Deleteit ain't... but it is....
DeleteI'd love a GOOD TV series that I could watch on Netflix...I think I've seen all the good ones.
ReplyDeleteYep, this wasn't a good season and the next one ain't looking promising either ;(
DeleteRay Winstone should do well as a paranoid and violent King.
ReplyDeletehe has it in him :)
DeleteEhhh :( Nothing grabbing my attention on the tv front today. I'm with Stephanie. I wish they would hurry up and bring back Orange Is The New Black to Netflix. There's been nothing good on there as of late.
ReplyDeleteFriday and Saturdays are usually the boring days in the movie news business :( I'm scared to think what news I will or will not find later today for today's post :(
DeleteKing Saul was a trip.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but Jon Dore looks the part.
I like both of these, Dezzy!
Hope Dore will be good in it... sitcoms are the joy of my life
DeleteJon really needs to shave that beard.
ReplyDeletehe has it shaved off, but I needed a blue photo for the post :)
DeleteAha!
Deletehaven't you noticed that the photos in my posts always have a pattern? It's either the colour or the position in which they stand, or the clothes.... it's always something :)
DeleteUm... sure I have. I knew that.
Deletepffttt
DeleteYeah. I was thinking the same thing as Just Keepin It Real. Another medical soap?
ReplyDeletemedicals, procedurals and cop shows will one day be the death of us
DeleteI love sitcoms. The half of it will go to my list, thanks to you. :)
ReplyDeleteI just hope most of the sitcoms we've announced get series order!
DeleteI have followed ER and Grey ' s Anatomy and enjoyed them. I just hope Heart Matters is as interesting. The Half of it sounds fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteER is still unbeatable - it focused on the patients not on the soap opera among the staff :)
