JENNA ELFMAN TO LEAD
NEW CGI HYBRID SITCOM AT ABC In other TV news, 'Deadline' reports that Jenna Elfman and Stephen Schneider will lead an untitled new ABC sitcom pilot which will have CGI elements in it. Elfman will be Alice, a bachelorette whose life is turned upside down when she finally meets the love of her life — a divorced father (Stephen Schneider) with three kids. This triggers even more upheaval when the slightly unhinged imaginary friend Alice (to be done by CGI) created as an only child suddenly reappears in her life to help her navigate the transition from single girl to a woman ready for a family.
LAURA BRENT TO LEAD
'TRANSYLVANIA' EPIC TV SERIES
Meanwhile, over at CW they've cast young Australian actress Laura Brent (LEGEND OF THE SEEKER) to lead their upcoming new epic series TRANSYLVANIA! The story of the historical adventure is set in 1880 revolving around Victoria (Laura Brent), a headstrong young woman in search of her missing father who ventures from NYC to Transylvania where she teams up with a wrongfully disgraced Scotland Yard Detective, and together they witness the births of the most famous monsters and villains in history.
Interesting new sitcoms, especially the one featuring Jenna Elfman.
ReplyDeletehope they will bring us some good ones since this season was very poor with comedy
DeleteThe idea of Transylvania sounds pretty good to me. I love detective shows and I like classic monsters. However, CW can be pretty cheezy, so we'll have to see.
ReplyDeleteyes, they will make it teensy, but most of their epic shows are still watchable. I still follow both REIGN and THE 100
DeleteI haven't heard of any of these. Hope they will be entertaining. :) Thanks for sharing!

Be welcome
DeleteIt's been a while since I saw Jenna Elfman in anything.
ReplyDeleteshe had that White House sitcom a few years ago and a number of pilots in recent seasons, but most of them didn't go into series
DeleteHopefully Midnight Texas will have someone hunky for us to oogle like True Blood had Skarsgard! I miss that yummy man candy on my screen!
ReplyDeletewell, Bruce is rather husky I'd say :)
DeleteI am sure many women will find him attractive. Yes, he's good looking, but for me, he looks a little youngish.
Deletemaybe just on this photo, he is rather hunky otherwise
DeleteI shall Google him now for more hunky images ;)
Deleteyou probably won't regret it
DeleteOh yum!!!! I may have to tune in just to see him. ;)
ReplyDeletehe should be a delightful midnight treat!
DeleteLong time since I've seen Jenna in anything?
ReplyDeleteDidn't have much luck with her pilots in recent years
DeleteJenna Elfman looks underfed. Lunch! I'm buying.
ReplyDeleteshe's always been thin like that
