NBC'S 'PEOPLE ARE TALKING'
WITH MARK PAUL GOSSELAAR
It's that time of the year when networks are ordering new projects into series, so today I'm presenting you with some of the comedy shows that 
have been greenlit so far! First off with dashing Mark Paul Gosselaar whose sitcom PEOPLE ARE TALKING has been ordered by NBC. He, Meaghan Rath, Tone Bell and Bresha Webb will play two couples, 
best friends and neighbours. The sometime neurotic couples can't help but over-analyse every facet of their lives, from race to sex and beyond. The sitcom will air on Friday Evenings following UNDATEABLE all live 3rd season episodes.

NBC OPENS UP A 'SUPERSTORE'
BEN FELDMAN, AMERICA FERRERA
NBC has also picked up SUPERSTORE sitcom with America Ferrera and Ben Feldman about a unique family of employees at a super-sized megastore. From the bright-eyed newbies and the seen-it-all 
veterans to the clueless summer hires and in-it-for-life managers, together they hilariously tackle the day-to-day grind of rabid bargain hunters, riot-causing sales and nap-worthy training sessions.

ABC'S 'REAL O'NEALS'
BEING GAY, BEING REAL
ABC has ordered REAL O'NEALS, about a seemingly perfect Catholic family, whose lives take an unexpected turn when when their son comes out as gay. Instead of ruining their family, the honesty triggers a new
chapter where everyone stops pretending to be perfect and
actually starts being real. Martha Plimpton, Jay R. Ferguson and Noah
Galvin lead the cast.
'UNCLE BUCK' BRINGS LUCK
They've also ordered UNCLE BUCK (Mike Epps), a fun loving but irresponsible guy who needs a job and a place to stay. By happy coincidence, his nieces and nephew’s Nanny has just quit and his
brother needs his help. His
unconventional personality just may make him the right fit for the
family and they may be the answer to his problems, too. James Lesure and
Nia Long also star.

Nothing just jumps out and grabs me. What's your pick, Dez?
ReplyDeletethe first one, I will not miss, and I repeat NOT MISS, anything with Gossehunk!
DeleteI'm with Sandra here. I thought I'd be into People Are Talking, but the trailer just wasn't very interesting.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Superstore will make the list once I see that trailer.
I will watch PEOPLE ARE TALKING just for the gorgeous people :) and plus it will air together with my beloved UNDATEABLE on Fridays :)
DeleteI forgot all about Ferrera though I never watched Ugly Betty
ReplyDeleteyep, she wasn't around much :) Welcome back, married man!
DeleteLet the games begin...
ReplyDeletethey already have... haven't you noticed?
DeleteWhat games?! What games?!
DeleteI've no idea, ask Dixie if she's not in the garden seducing neighbours :)
DeleteSuperstore sounds like fun!!! Although none of the employees at Super Wal-Mart look like you'd want to see a show about them!
ReplyDeletebut Feldman does look like that :)
DeleteInteresting selection. I loved the movie Uncle Buck. I wonder if the story has staying power, though, as a series. I hope they have good writers.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, I'm guessing they will pair the sitcom together with LAST MAN STANDING if that one gets picked up for the fifth season as we hope! And pray
DeleteReal O'Neils should be interesting. We all know how narrow minded the world still is.
ReplyDeleteSorry I wan't in yesterday but it was Mothers Day and The Spawn didn't even call me. I spent most of the day in tears and didn't feel like talking to anyone.
yep, REAL O'NEILS are inspired by the life of that guy that has a show about sex on MTV, forgot what his name was....
DeleteDon't cry, dahlink, she probably didn't even notice it was that date. I often forget which day it is .... Did the boy call you at least?
You have to get used to your kids forgetting you a bit now :) When they marry, get their own families, work, careers... you and hubby will become the sole focus to each other.... especially if the kids move and go to live somewhere else :( It is better to get prepared for this as something that is a part of life.
Ya, my baby boy called from work break and really a phone call is all I need. Cards are just a waste of money.
DeleteIrish Mammy's never let go their children. Our hearts beat with theirs until the day we die. Yes, we get on with lives and pretend it doesn't hurt not to see them. But our hearts break in the longing for the sight of them. The best we can do is to never let them know it hurts as it is natural for them to move on. However, we do know that when they have children of their own, they will understand just how much they mean to us. And when that happens, the come back to us as when they were little again.
You would probably fit well here in my country, since in our culture, either due to money or tradition, 70% or more children live with their parents in family homes forever. Especially down in Serbia where people would build houses on their properties for their children and then they live all together .... And in cities many live their children and grandchildren in small flats.... We're much more tied to our families (not me myself of course) than in Western cultures. And old people usually live with their families till they die, they are not put to senior homes...
DeleteI don't watch too many comedies, but Superstore sounds like it could be really funny. I wonder how much it'll spoof Walmart and Walmart goers.
ReplyDeletewe shall see, but we so very much need more comedies
DeleteSeemingly perfect? Before or after, for I don't notice any difference.
ReplyDeletewho, what, when, why? And the Shakespearean question being HOW?
