Network: NBC
Episodes: 13 (half-hour)
Seasons: One
TV show dates: December 17, 2012 -- March 28, 2013
Series status: Cancelled
Performers include: Bill Pullman, Jenna Elfman, Josh Gad, Martha MacIsaac, Amara Miller, Benjamin Stockham, and Andre Holland.
TV show description:
This comedy series follows the Gilchrists, a typical American family -- sort of. They have everyday issues, like a grown kid who's forced to move back home and teenagers who are smarter than their teachers. They're loving, fun and a little crazy.
They're just like everyone else except they live in a very special house, the White House. Whether it's entertaining foreign dignitaries, holding secret cabinet meetings or putting out fires -- figuratively and sometimes literally -- there's never a dull moment in the Gilchrist White House.

1600 Penn: No Season Two for NBC Sitcom
9 May 2013 6:56 PM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
There's just one term season for 1600 Penn. NBC has cancelled the Thursday night sitcom after one season and 13 episodes.
1600 Penn follows the dysfunctional Gilchrist family as they adapt to life in the White House. When the public voted Standrich Gilchrist (Bill Pullman) into office, they likely had no idea that they were getting his goofy son "Skip" (Josh Gad) as part of the deal. The show also features Jenna Elfman, Martha MacIsaac, Andre Holland, Amara Miller, and Benjamin Stockham.
The sitcom previewed on December 17th to a 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.88 million viewers. For NBC, those are very good ratings.
Unfortunately, 1600 Penn couldn't hold onto those numbers. The second episode drew a 1.6 rating and 3.86 million on January 10th. A week later, the ratings fell to a 1.2 in the demo and »

BookPALS Celebrates 20 Years of Actors Reading to Children
8 May 2013 12:30 PM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
The actor’s routine of coming in to read has meant something different to Barbara Bain for the last 20 years. In 1993, Bain, a film and television actor famous for her portrayal of Cinnamon Carter on the series “Mission: Impossible,” founded BookPALS (Performing Artists for Literacy in Schools) to promote children’s literacy through the SAG Foundation. Bain said pairing actors with children hungry for storytelling was a perfect match. “We read and we’re also under-employed, so we have time and like an audience, so what could be better?” she said. “It all just fit together.” Originally located only in Los Angeles, the organization now has five chapters across the country, of which New York and L.A. are the largest, with 1,700 BookPALS serving 45,000 children. The other three branches, in Arizona, San Francisco, and Florida, have a combined 600 BookPALS serving 16,000 children, from preschoolers to fifth graders, in schools, hospitals, and social service agencies every month. »

The Top 5 Most Lesbian Moments of "Roseanne"
6 May 2013 7:33 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Tags: RoseanneLogotelevisionvideoSandra BernhardIMDb
There’s a lot of talk these days about the increased visibility of queer folk on TV. And while this is certainly true, there is one woman who repped lady love on mainstream TV way back when, back before any state had marriage equality, before Glee was even a glimmer in Ryan Murphy’s eye, even before Ilene Chaiken.
And that woman is Roseanne, y’all.
Gayer shows and characters may have come our way since Roseanne went off the air in 1997, but no one has covered both feminism and queerness in such blue collar realness since, and I worry no one else ever will. Lest we ever forget its greatness, here are my Top 5 Lesbian Moments of Roseanne

'Can't Hardly Wait': What the gang's been up to since graduation
26 April 2013 2:03 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Newsflash: Simon Cowell is supposedly interested in booking Jennifer Love Hewitt to replace Britney Spears on The X Factor next season. Yes, that Jennifer Love Hewitt.
On the surface, this idea seems, well, sorta nuts. Despite five recent-ish seasons of Ghost Whisperer, Hewitt hasn’t been particularly relevant since her Party of Five days, and her brief early-aughts singing career was unmemorable at best. (Though you’ve got to admit, “BareNaked” is still pretty catchy.)
Dig a little deeper, though, and suddenly the rumor starts making a weird kind of sense. Hewitt’s certainly as famous as, say, Paula Abdul »

The Woman That Missed Out On 'Seinfeld'
2 April 2013 2:18 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Lee Garlington has been steadily working in Hollywood since the '80s. "I haven't had to say, 'Would you like fries or Caesar salad with that?' since 1984," she said. But, the actress added, she hasn't peaked yet.
"I plan to peak in my 70s," Garlington told The Huffington Post in a phone interview. "I have another decade to go before I'm going to really hit my stride. I'm going to be Doris Roberts, knocking 'em dead on my big hit show."
A serial guest star and regular film supporting player, Garlington is perhaps best known for having one the biggest show business "tragedies": She was the original female star in the "Seinfeld" pilot. Garlington's regular TV appearances and supporting roles in films like "Field of Dreams" and "Cobra" made her a perfect subject for HuffPost's "Isn't That ... ?," a new feature highlighting those character actors you recognize from a variety of projects, »

At the Television Critics Association winter press tour, Trish Bendix got a hot tip that Marigold Gilchrist, one of the teenage characters in NBC's midseason comedy 1600 Penn, was going to come out as a lesbian. And she did. At the end of the pilot episode, after we'd been introduced to all of the other kids in the quirky First Family — the awkward but lovable Skip, the overachieving but accidentally pregnant Becca, the middle school prodigy Xander — Marigold revealed her sexuality without any fanfare. When her stepmom asked the name of the boy she had a crush on, Becca simply said, "Jessica."
1600 Penn has aired 13 episodes so far, and most of them have focused on Skip and Becca's highjinks, but during episode five, "Frosting Nixon," we did get to meet the object of Marigold's affection. Jessica is the queen bee of Xander and Marigold's prep school, »

'1600 Penn' season finale: A White House wedding and a baby
28 March 2013 8:34 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
On the season finale of "1600 Penn," due to a wedding license mix-up, it turns out President Gilchrist (Bill Pullman) and Emily (Jenna Elfman) aren't married. You know what that means in sitcom land -- quickie White House wedding!
But it can't be any old wedding. Skip (Josh Gad) decides to flex the golden pipes on Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time," which it turns out is Becca's (Martha MacIsaac) birthing song, so it sends her into labor.
The first family rushes to the hospital -- after first tracking down D.B. (Robbie Amell) at the mall -- and Becca and her baby daddy welcome baby boy. Except D.B. is not the baby daddy. It's Marshall (Andre Holland), the White House Press Secretary.
Dun dun dun! Unfortunately, fans of the show probably won't get to see how that turns out. Its ratings are among the lowest for NBC comedies -- »

Bright-eyed, fresh-faced and always radiant, Jenna Elfman is one blond beauty who never seems to age. It should come to no surprise then, that when it comes to her skin care, this is one area the comedic actress takes pretty seriously. We recently learned that the 1600 Penn star relies on a magical little potion to keep fine lines and pesky wrinkles at bay: Airelle Age Defying Facial Serum with Hyaluronic Acid. This ultra-hydrating product is packed with antioxidants, botanticals and vitamins specifically designed to firm, tighten and smooth skin while encouraging new cell growth and prevent premature aging.

Justin Timberlake Being Considered For Lead Role In ‘Annie’ — Report
19 March 2013 8:29 AM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Justin on the big screen! Do you think he’s got what it takes to carry a musical?
Justin Timberlake may be all about his “Suit & Tie” these days, but could his new image lead to a high-profile movie role? Justin, 32, is being considered to play Daddy Warbucks in the upcoming big-screen remake of Annie, Page Six is reporting, a project that already has some huge Hollywood hitters attached.
Not only is Annie being produced by Will Smith and Jay-z — one of Justin’s good buddies, considering they’re about to go on tour together — but it’s also starring Quvenzhané Wallis, who was just nominated for an Academy Award! Sadly, the nine-year-old Beasts of the Southern Wild Star didn’t win Best Actress, but she still managed to steal the show.

'1600 Penn' exclusive video: Josh Gad and Andre Holland discuss their craft
13 March 2013 12:29 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Acting is a craft. Even the greatest of thespians must work long and hard to achieve the right emotions to believably play a part. So just think how tough it must be for Josh Gad of "1600 Penn."
We're kidding, of course. Gad is great. But even he might need some pointers now and then. That's when it's good to have someone like Andre Holland around for extra help. With him, a believable adult baby at a funeral might even be possible. Maybe.
What sorts of scenes are the actors really preparing for?
A date is Skip's goal in the next "1600 Penn" episode, "Game Theory." In this episode, Skip announces that he is going on a big date with Stacey (guest star Susan Park. Emily (Jenna Elfman) is rather concerned about the date and takes it upon herself to make sure the affair goes off without any problems. Of course, this »

Jenna Elfman Thought Her House Was On Fire, But It Was 'Romance'
6 March 2013 5:11 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Jenna Elfman explained that she can ruin almost any romantic moment with her husband. The actress was on "Conan," where she said she brings up the strangest and most off-putting topics just before they're about to have sex. What's more sensual than talking about getting the kids vaccinated?
One story, though, had Conan O'Brien back Elfman. She said that her husband is incredibly romantic and is constantly trying to think of romantic things to do. One year, he decided it would be sweet for Elfman to wake up "in the clouds." So he filled the room with dry ice.
But to someone coming out of a sleep state, there's only one thing that's going to make them think of. "I thought the house was on fire!" Elfman exclaimed.
She may well be the worst when it comes to romance, but some ideas are just destined to fail.
