'LAST MAN STANDING' GETS 5TH SEASON, 'EMPIRE' LONGER 2ND
With leading TV news today being that ABC has confirmed Tim Allen's beloved sitcom LAST MAN STANDING (which has helped them dominate Friday ratings for years now) for the fifth season, and that last year biggest breakout hit EMPIRE will have 18 episodes to be aired in two 9 episode parts at Fox (and with r'n'b superstar Ne-Yo joining hip hop legend Timbaland in writing the music for the new run), you can also check out the first photos from HOT & BOTHERED, a new sitcom at NBC.
EVA LONGORIA IS
TOTALLY 'HOT & BOTHERED'
Unlike the sitcoms we reviewed yesterday, that have just been ordered, HOT & BOTHERED, previously known as TELENOVELA, had a straight to series order last winter. Eva Longoria will lead the cast of the comedy about drama behind the drama. If you think the steamy sex, sensational scandals and heart wrenching heartbreak on Latino soap operas are a little extreme, just wait until you see what happens behind the scenes! Eva Longoria is Ana Sofia, a sizzling TV superstar, and her lively family of cast and crew all competing to steal the spotlight. When the cameras turn off, the drama turns up as Ana battles pesky network execs, drunken scriptwriters, narcissistic co-stars and an unfortunately familiar new on-screen love interest. Jencarlos Canela and Jose Moreno Brooks also star.

'TERMINATOR GENISYS'
NEW CHARACTER POSTERS
While the AVENGERS are breaking records at the box office, another major science fiction franchise looking to return to the big screens is gearing up its engines: today you can check out stunning new character posters for TERMINATOR GENISYS showing Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese, Arnold Schwarzenegger as the good old T-800 who comes to protect them, Jason Clarke as John Connor the leader of the resistance and Byung hun-Lee as the advanced shape shifting T-1000.
THE START OF NEW TRILOGY
Coming out this July, TERMINATOR GENISYS is set in 2029, when the Future War is raging and a group of human rebels has the evil artificial intelligence system Skynet on the ropes. John Connor (Jason Clarke) is the leader of the resistance, and Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) is his loyal soldier, raised in the ruins of post apocalyptic California. As in the original film, Connor sends Reese back to 1984 to save Connor's mother, Sarah (Emilia Clarke), from a Terminator programmed to kill her so that she won't ever give birth to John. But what Reese finds on the other side is nothing like he expected.

I think Eva Longoria is one of the most gorgeous women on the planet. She will definitely make that series sizzle!
ReplyDeletemost certainly!
DeleteDon't normally like violence, but I love Schwarzenegger, and have always enjoyed the Terminator films. Looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteHi Dezzy! :)
I don't like it either :) I did it only for Jailicious Courtney :)
DeleteOh my gosh, I never expected to see Arnold in another terminator movie!
ReplyDeletesadly, he seems to be unstoppable....
DeleteArnold wasn't kidding when he said "I'll be back."
ReplyDeletenumerous times, it seems
DeleteEva Longoria is perfect for that role! I'm so glad she's being allowed to be curvaceous in this one, too. I've been watching Desperate Housewives on Netflix and she's just way too skinny...I always feel like she'd look better if she had the figure of a woman rather than a 16-year-old girl!
ReplyDeleteshe is very petite... I don't think she's taller than 155cm
DeleteI think the only reason I would see it is for Emilia Clarke
ReplyDeletenow, there's a reason
DeleteSorry that Gotham is over for the season.....
ReplyDeleteHow u doing Dezzy?
Cheers!
Linda :o)
many shows have been cancelled this month... hope they will be replaced with good ones since this season was really and truly bad :)
DeleteI do believe it will be coming back!!
DeleteGreat show.....
Enjoy your week!
Thanks, you too :)
DeleteI couldn't stand the first Terminator movie and left the theatre before it was done. I think all those movies did good at the box office. Truly, I think it may be time for Superhero's and such to take a break.
ReplyDeleteOooh I have to share something funny with you. According to the United States, I do not exist. The Hubby bought me this thing called a prepaid VISA card so I could shop online and not worry about getting the bank account hacked. To activate the card, I had to give them my foreign ID number.
DeleteSo I type the number in and get the response that the number doesn't exist. So I call them. Give them my name, my address and my ID number and they tell me that according to the US government records no such person exists.
Now they gave me this number and I pay my taxes using this number, so I do exist as they take my money when I owe it.
All this leads me to believe that they've got good reason to worry about terrorists sneaking in the country. As here I am, doing business, paying bills, paying taxes and they somehow don't about it. Good thing for them that the only thing I ever smuggle into this country is sausages and whiskey :0)
Not sure superheroes will take a break any time soon, both Marvel adn DC have planned their release time all until 2020 :(
DeleteMethinks it's a state conspiracy against the Shenanigans Group, dear. They wanna get rid of us because we know too much about them! We're a danger to their tyranny :) Did you manage to settle the problem in the end?
In the end it came down to my not having a drivers license. They don't have access to the big government data base. Only to each States data base. Because I've no license, they had nothing to connect my number to.
DeleteIn the end we just registered it in the Hubby's name using his Social Security Number.
Wait, ya don't have a driving license? I thought you drove your hubby around the town all the time....
DeleteYour lawyer should probably check everything up so that you are safe in case something happens to hubby :( I positively despise bureaucracy
Hot and Bothered will definitely be going on my new show lineup! I miss seeing Eva! She's such a classic beauty!
ReplyDeleteshe's feisty and spicy :) And those hunks in the cast ain't bad either .. it seems they will be shirtless a lot....
DeleteOne can only hope!
Deletehope dies last
DeleteI didn't know a new Terminator movie was coming out. I wonder if Arnold will still look intimidating, lol. :)
ReplyDeletehe always looks horrible
DeleteOh man, I don't know about rebooting the Terminator. I mean at least Arnold is still in it... but darn the originals were so good! IMHO, Hollywood doesn't know how to quit when they are ahead.
ReplyDeletethey've turned into a recycling plant
DeleteI am very eager to see Terminator !
ReplyDeleteCheers .
glad to hear it, Vincent
DeleteTerminator should be very cool!
ReplyDeleteor hot when the metal starts to melt...
DeleteRidiculously slick Terminator reboot. They're trying so hard to look mean but their lack of charisma is laughable.
ReplyDeleteJai Courtney has charisma... take back what you said or I will whip your bum..... :)
