5 Best & 5 Worst Us TV Remakes
23 May 2012 1:49 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
For years, the UK and the Us have swapped TV formats around as a simple way of gaining new ideas and building on established successes.
Just recently we’ve seen HBO and Armando Iannucci putting a presidential spin on The Thick of It with Veep, while John Leguizamo is all set for a cushty role as Del Boy in an upcoming remake of Only Fools and Horses.
While many UK to Us remakes have managed to successfully avoid being lost in translation, others have sadly proved that sometimes you simply can’t recapture the same magic twice. Join us as we take a look at the 5 best and the 5 worst, Us TV remakes.
The Best 5. Shameless
When it was first announced that Paul Abbot’s gritty council estate drama was making the jump to the Us, no one could quite believe how any remake could successfully replicate the same mix »

Documentary Looks Back At A Master: Johnny Carson
14 May 2012 3:14 PM, PDT | Fox All Access | See recent Fox All Access news »
These days, there are plenty of personalities in late-night television: Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson, and Jimmy Fallon, to name a few. But once upon a time, there was only one name that mattered: Johnny Carson.
His 30 years hosting “The Tonight Show” remain legendary. His monologues, his characters, his witty banter with Ed McMahon and the thousands of guests who graced the show’s couch, and the way he made viewers feel like they were spending time with a trusted friend — all were hallmarks of the undisputed King of Late Night TV.
Tonight, PBS airs a documentary taking a look at the man, his gifts, and his legacy. “Johnny Carson: King of Late Night” takes a look at his rise to fame, from aspiring magician to one of television’s true icons.
Carson’s “Tonight Show” was a launching pad for many young comedians — Jerry Seinfeld, »

TV Review: ‘American Masters Johnny Carson: King of Late Night’
14 May 2012 9:42 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – There is arguably no icon on a higher pedestal in the history of television than Johnny Carson, the man who didn’t just host “The Tonight Show” for three decades but became a cultural fixture. We let Johnny into our homes and trusted him in ways that I believe just can’t happen again in a more cynical TV age. He was a nightly visitor for millions and the new PBS documentary about him, “American Masters Johnny Carson: King of Late Night,” is one of the best TV history documentaries yet produced.
TV Rating: 5.0/5.0
Why is “King of Late Night” so captivating? Not only did the filmmakers get unprecedented access to Johnny’s personal and professional archives, they knew how to use those clips to tell his story. With Carson and Ed McMahon gone, they can’t be interviewed, but Carson dropped many biographical nuggets over the course of the show. »

Two and a Half Men 9.18 "Palmdale, Ech" Review
20 March 2012 2:28 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Two and a Half Men 9.18 "Palmdale, Ech" Review
We learned a couple of things in this week's episode of Two and a Half Men: Jake still has the ability to form several complete sentences, and Evelyn is still alive. The past few episodes have focused on the two couples: Walden and Zoey, and Alan and Lyndsey. Those episodes were enjoyable, but this season has had a lack of Jake scenes and a lack of Evelyn altogether. The March 19 episode, "Palmdale, Ech," begins to make up for this.
The episode begins with Walden talking on the phone to Zoey, who will be gone for another week. They say, "I love you" back and forth many times, and Jake and Eldridge start to make fun of Walden. Walden reassures Zoey that neither Alan or Jake will be living in the house forever. (Just until the series ends, or longer.)

The National Enquirer says liking Robbie Fulks shows Drew Carey’s crazy
15 March 2012 10:45 AM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
It’s probably safe to take this news with a grain of salt, but The National Enquirer is chronicling what it calls Drew Carey’s “increasingly bizarre behavior,” claiming that The Price Is Right host has been alienating fans and going through an intense midlife crisis. The Enquirer claims that one sign of Carey’s mental apocalypse is his recent tweet about Chicago country singer Robbie Fulks’ “profane tune” “Fuck This Town,” which “drops the F-bomb five times in the chorus alone, uses other expletives and makes a derogatory remark toward gays.” It’s also a solidly rocking little ditty »
Drew Carey: 'Changing my lifestyle has helped keep the weight off'
12 March 2012 4:22 PM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Drew Carey has said that a change of his daily diet and exercise routine is behind his continued weight loss success. The Price Is Right host dropped more than 75lbs in recent years to prolong his life and improve his overall health. Talking to Parade, Carey revealed that he considers his improved eating habits to be part of his normal regimen now. "It's just become a lifestyle, you know what I mean? I don't want to make a big deal out of it since it's how I live my life. It's like making a big deal about getting dressed in the morning or brushing my teeth," he explained. (more) »

'Name That Tune' gets a modern reboot
7 March 2012 2:25 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Because there aren't enough music-themed shows and game shows out there: Production company FremantleMedia has secured the rights to "Name That Tune," reports Vulture.
The show tested competitors' musical knowledge in a head-to-head face-off, and it's been nearly 25 years since an original episode aired in the U.S.
Fremantle, which has its hand in music-minded ventures like "American Idol," "The X Factor" and "America's Got Talent," isn't the first to try rebooting the show -- MTV gave it a go in 2007, CBS in 2006. Neither came to fruition.
The company has successfully revived "Family Feud" and "Let's Make a Deal," and it managed the host transition from Bob Barker to Drew Carey on "The Price is Right." So perhaps it can succeed where others have failed?
Take a look at the show in its golden era:

When Will Community Return?
22 February 2012 7:00 AM, PST | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
NBC’s Community is where the laughs are. The Dan Harmon series is also a reality thanks to folks like Joe and Anthony Russo of Arrested Development. It follows the unlikely every men and women who attend and work at Greendale Community College. Joel McHale stars and the smart mouthed Jeff Winger, a laywer unlucky enough to have his entire degree revoked. Doh! You know you love it, and it should be coming back to the airwaves soon.
According to Dan Harmon’s official Twitter account, “What you call 8:00, we call home. Community returns to Thursday nights on March 15th.” You heard the man. The comedy should kick off again, starting on the Ides of March.
That means the legendary Chevy Chase will return as the old fart, Pierce; Gillian Jacobs returns as Britta; Yvette Nicole Brown is still Shirley; Danny Pudi is still the loveable Abed; Alison Brie »

Bob Barker Says Trip To Calgary Stampede Appalling
1 February 2012 3:16 PM, PST | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Calgary - A prize giveaway from "The Price is Right" for a trip to two to mark the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede has former host Bob Barker stomping mad.
The show, now hosted by Drew Carey, awarded a five-day trip for two to the Stampede in July on Wednesday's show.
This year is the 100th anniversary for what is dubbed the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.
"If I had been there, it would never in the world have happened," Barker said in an interview with The Canadian Press from his home in Hollywood, Calif.
"In fact, if I had been there, the people I worked with would never even have suggested it. But it has happened and it's very regrettable."
"The Price is Right'' on CBS has been handing out cash and prizes to lucky winners for almost four decades.

Ringo Starr Loves 'Price Is Right,' Thinks Drew Carey 'Looks Gorgeous!'
1 February 2012 3:20 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
A-list stars, they're just like the rest of us really. Take Ringo Starr, for example. Forever immortalized as a member of The Beatles, yet he loves to kick back and watch "The Price Is Right."
Chatting to Craig Ferguson on "The Late Late Show" (Weeknights, 12:30 a.m. Est on CBS) Ringo joked about how musician and producer Joe Walsh talked him out of naming his latest album "Motel California."
Of course, because everyone in Hollywood knows everyone else, Ferguson knows Walsh from his regular guest spots playing Ed the guitarist on "The Drew Carey Show."
When the talk turned to Drew Carey's post-sitcom gig hosting "The Price Is Right," Ringo said "I love that show! I love it!" He went on, "Drew is now so slimmed-down ... He looks gorgeous!"
Fergsuon's robot sidekick Geoff Peterson concurred: "He looks very svelte."

8 ‘Forgotten’ WWE Royal Rumble Moments
29 January 2012 1:24 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The Royal Rumble comes but once a year, and every year WWE does a great job promoting of heightening meaning to the event with past Royal Rumble moments. But every year it’s the same moments that get all the spotlight.
We’ve decided to put together a list of some of the Rumble moments that aren’t talked about as much as they should be. Some that are the very essence of what makes it unique, some that are memorable for all the wrong reasons. Either way, moments that WWE doesn’t really mention that often when recapping the Royal Rumble matches of previous years.

Sometimes when the action is coming thick and fast, the competitors need a little bit of down time. After all you could be in there for more than 60 minutes if you’re doing well. »

R.I.P. Robert Hegyes, A.K.A. Juan Epstein: An Unlikely Hero Of Immigrant Kids
27 January 2012 7:25 AM, PST | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Actor Robert Hegyes died after an apparent heart attack in his native New Jersey yesterday, the New Jersey Star-Ledger reports. The 60-year-old, who acted on Broadway, co-starred in Cagney and Lacey and guest-starred in everything from the Drew Carey Show to Diagnosis Murder, will forever be remembered as high school student Juan Luis Pedro Filipo De Huevos Epstein, his role on Welcome Back, Kotter, from 1975-1979.
Most people think of Kotter as the show that made John Travolta’s career. Not me. Though of Italian descent himself, the Jewish Puerto Rican Hegyes played has always been a kind of icon for mixed-up products of immigration. As the daughter of a Dominican and a Hungarian Israeli, I basically grew up hearing “Juan Epstein” jokes all my life, and I can’t say I minded it. If people associated my crazy background with a wise-cracking kid on TV reruns, that seemed pretty cool to me. »
