Comedy Friday today, people, to end your week with some fun topics!

UNHINGED IMAGINARY FRIENDS
Imaginary Mary centres on Alice (Jenna Elfman), a fiercely independent career woman whose life is turned upside down when she
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 she created as a child suddenly reappears to help her
navigate the transition from single girl to a woman ready for a family.

Jenna Elfman sure has a nice butt. Oh, did I say that out loud?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same which is the reason I left that photo full length :) It is beyond me how can some people have such flawless legs and bums?
DeleteHer butt aside, it looks it might be pretty good. Thanks DEZ!
ReplyDeleteglad you noticed that, Pat :)
DeleteImaginary Mary looks cute!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited Lauren Graham has something new in the works. I do love her so!
me too, too bad it is a single camera comedy, she would do great in a nice warm family sitcom with some hot hunk for her husband :)
DeleteI agree, but right now I'll take her where I can get her. I always thought her real life hubby (or boyfriend, don't remember if they are married) seemed like an odd match. He's so reserved it seems and she's so lively, but hey, what do I know?
Deletedon't know who is she with, have to google it! Peter Krause??? Never liked him, never! Almost as weird as Amy Schuller's match with her mind-blowing blond hunk of a boyfriend.
DeleteThat freeze frame poster does no favors for that CGI creature. In the trailer she looks hairy cute but that freeze frame poster is just creepy. Jenna looks great though. Do we even remember the other comedies mentioned before? Anyway wish Imaginary Mary luck. Though it just seems super strange to me.
ReplyDeletethat is why they had to work on the CGI and the result is seen in the trailer. I do wish the critter had a voice of a young girl, not a grown up woman, it would have been cuter methinks
DeleteGlad Lauren has a new show in the works. Loved her in Parenthood too. EEEEKKK. Jenna Elfman. Looking forward to this one!!
ReplyDeleteWe need her more on the telly
DeleteHello dahlink, I is back again. How are things with you? How's the Winter been?
ReplyDeleteshitty, lonesome, tense and Siberian cold, almost icy. Hope the year of the Rooster brings us money, health and progression at work!
DeleteSorry to hear that dahlink. I will catch up with you now on your current post
DeleteI enjoy a good comedy, and hope Lauren's is great. :) Haven't heard of any of these until today. So- thanks! :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
that is because they are all freshly announced pilots
