CAROL'S SECOND ACT in which she will play Carol Chambers

JANE CURTIN IN UNITED WE FALL
Yet, another of sitcom legends, 3rd Rock From the Sun's
Jane Curtin
is returning to TV comedies in
UNITED WE FALL a profoundly realistic,
multicultural sitcom that shows how, when two people, Bill and Jo, with
 |

young children and overzealous extended families truly love each other,
barely anything is possible. Curtin will play Bill’s extremely
judgemental mother who joined their house during a health scare till she
recovered, but she never left! She makes it her business to tell them
everything they do is wrong!
Jason Michael Snow will play Bill's cosmopolitan, glamorous brother.
Debts don't make me laugh, but the comical element in Uninsured is provided mainly by the reverse situation by which younger parents have to take care of the older parents. So, laughing it is..
ReplyDeleteUnited We Fall with the 'judgemental mother' who was supposed to leave but never left, sounds like a very promising family comedy.
It will probably be hilarious now that they've got Fran, love her to bits! She was such a great part of my youth with The Nanny and I've always loved what she did later on as well. I bet she is popular in Israel as well, as her family in Nanny was hilariously Jewish, especially her mother and grandmother.
DeleteI'm not sold yet!
ReplyDeletethe scandal
DeleteI enjoyed seeing Jane Curtin as the literary agent in "Can You Ever Forgive Me" -- glad she'll be back on the small screen too!
ReplyDeleteoh, my, god I totally forgot she was in it even though I watched it like last week!
DeleteI am so thrilled to hear that Fran and Jean Luc Bilodeau will once again be gracing our screens. I have miss both so much!
ReplyDeleteimagine if they were in a sitcom together! We will have to pray every day for their pilots to be ordered into series! I missed Jean Luc so much words cannot describe. And Fran is such a living legend, love her privately as well.
DeleteWhile that would be lovely, as least we get two shows to look forward to instead of one. Double the fun and less heartbreak if one gets the ax.
Deleteyou should follow Fran at Twitter, she is very nice and engaged in many social activities. Tim, her, Bette, Hirsch and Roseanne are the last of living comedy legends.
