I'll be looking to hear more about I Mom So Hard. Us moms need a little humor in our lives when we finally send our kiddies off to bed.
ReplyDeletethey have a web series methinks, the sitcom will be based on it, I myself think Friends in Law could have potential with that plot :) History of Them will be very very multicultural. It seems Will and Grace success is returning multicams to the small screens!
DeleteThat is good news. We definitely need more multicams and comedies.
DeleteSingle camera ones never really worked, they should only do multicams if you ask me :)
DeleteI need more comedy! I have been stuck with the classic ones like Friends :) and still with the Big Bang Theory ..
ReplyDeleteI'm currently enjoying Superior Donuts, Disjointed and new Will and Grace
DeleteWell, let's see what will catch on!

most of these never really ordered for a whole series
Delete"Murphy Brown" returns? THAT should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was announced late last night!
DeleteSo many shows coming back. Fascinating.
