John Goodman Returning to Network TV

16 July 2009 10:19 PM, PDT | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news

John Goodman, who starred as Dan Conner in 221 episodes of ABC’s Roseanne, has signed on to star in the Fox sitcom pilot The Station. Ben Stiller’s Red Hour Films is developing the project. The Station revolves around a group of lackluster CIA operatives at a covert South American outpost, where they're charged with installing a new dictator. Goodman will play Ted Gannon, a gruff CIA vet and head of its Altamara Station. The actor joins a cast that includes Justin Bartha (National Treasure, The Hangover), Whitney Cummings (Made of Honor), Rob Huebel (Human Giant) and Julio Oscar Mechoso (Planet Terror). Since Roseanne ended its nine season run in 1997, Goodman has twice unsuccessfully returned to the sitcom world. In 2000 he starred in Normal, Ohio, which lasted 7 episodes, and in 2004 he starred alongside Jean Smart in 12 episodes of Center of the Universe. The actor also lent his voice to the

Exploring the Emmy Awards' most wide-open category

19 June 2009 9:43 PM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

Think fast: Who won last year's Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Fast! If you guessed Jean Smart, you're either lying or very very good at this. The "Samantha Who?" co-star was, indeed, last year's winner. I'd remembered that she was nominated, because she's very good at what she does, but I'd forgotten that she'd won. There may be harder Emmy categories to handicap. Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama may be one of the deepest fields in Emmy history, for example. But even that category lacks the Anything-Can-Happen absurdity of the supporting actress field. Don't believe me?...

Poster for Michael Cera’s Youth in Revolt

19 June 2009 2:07 PM, PDT | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news

Things on the Youth in Revolt front have been fairly quiet since the film was first announced way back in 2007 and then delayed twice, but things are now picking up for the comedy as we approach the October 30 release date. The folks over at Cinematical have kicked things off, debuting the film’s first poster. Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by C.D. Payne, the film revolves around the adventures of a teenager who meets the girl of his dreams while on a family vacation and turns his life upside down in order to be with her. It stars Michael Cera, Portia Doubleday, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Long, Ari Graynor, Ray Liotta, Jean Smart, Rooney Mara and Steve Buscemi.

Exclusive: 'Youth in Revolt' Poster Premiere!

19 June 2009 10:15 AM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

Get ready all you Twispians, because Cinematical has just received this exclusive teaser poster for Youth in Revolt, which stars Michael Cera as the ultra-angsty (and legendary) Nick Twisp and is based on one of my favorite books of all time. Ah, what can you say about Youth in Revolt? The book, written by C.D. Payne, has amassed a huge, cult-like following partly because we can all relate to being an awkward teenager who'd do anything to capture the love of that special someone, and also because it's just damn funny.

For those who haven't read the book (seriously, read it -- the thing is hilarious), Youth in Revolt follows the misadventures of a love-sick teen who stops just short of destroying the world in order to win the love of one Sheeni Saunders. Cera plays said teen, Nick Twisp, while newcomer Portia Doubleday plays Sheeni. The film also boasts a pretty impressive supporting cast,

Out on DVD: Julia, Jeeves, Scooby-Doo and a king who was a queen

27 May 2009 3:05 PM, PDT | From AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news

This week's new DVDs feature a passel of great stuff from TV, including sitcoms, cartoons and Brit-lit adaptations both comic and serious.

Read on for more!

I know most gays are all about The Golden Girls, but as an Atlanta native, my preferred quartet of '80s ladies was Julia, Suzanne, Mary Jo and Charlene, so I'm thrilled that Designing Women: The Complete First Season has finally made it to DVD.

While it takes most series a while to find their voices, I was surprised to learn that Julia Sugarbaker (the incomparable Dixie Carter) delivers the first of her famous weekly rants on the pilot, and that the "Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" speech that's so frequently screened at gay bars around the country happened in the second episode. So they were pretty much good

Samantha Who?: ABC Cancels Christina Applegate Sitcom, No Season Three

18 May 2009 6:24 PM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news

Another casualty of the networks' efforts to trim their expenses is the sophomore sitcom, Samantha Who?.

The ABC sitcom revolves around a nasty young woman (Christina Applegate) who is hit by a car. When she awakens from a coma, she's developed amnesia and has even forgotten her terse personality. Samantha Who? also features the talents of Jennifer Esposito, Kevin Dunn, Melissa McCarthy, Tim Russ, Barry Watson, and Jean Smart.

Samantha debuted on October 15, 2007 and was given the plum position of following ABC's Dancing with the Stars. With that lead-in, the first season averaged 11.8 million viewers. However, though the show's ratings looked good on paper, the sitcom consistently lost a significant portion of Dancing's large audience. Looking beyond that, ABC renewed Samantha for a second season.

For the start of its sophomore year, ABC once more gave the sitcom a cushy post-Dancing timeslot. Episodes averaged 10.76 million viewers. Once Dancing finished, the

Bea Arthur was a true 'Golden Girl'

26 April 2009 2:31 PM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news

Bea Arthur, who died Saturday at 86, was the winner of two Emmy Awards for her starring roles on classic sitcoms "Maude" and "The Golden Girls." Before becoming an unexpected TV star in the 1970s, Bea Arthur enjoyed a long and celebrated career in the theater. She won a Tony Award for featured actress in a musical in 1966 for the role of Vera Charles, bosom buddy to "Mame." Married at the time to theater director Gene Saks, who helmed this tuner adaptation of the play "Auntie Mame," Arthur made no secret of the fact that she would have loved to play the part of the glamourous title character, a part that went to Angela Lansbury. With her basso voice and deadpan delivery, Arthur had to settle for the sidekick role, which turned out to be a natural for her — the man-eating, gin-drinking actress Vera. When the movie version was made in

Critics fail to find fun in 'Parks and Recreation'

9 April 2009 11:35 AM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news

The new comedy series "Parks and Recreation" premieres tonight on NBC sandwiched between two episodes of "The Office." While such a time slot might seem to make for a sure-fire hit, this new laffer -- created by "Office" execs Greg Daniels and Mike Schur -- is said to pale in comparison with that Emmy winner. Most of the critics cut this new show little slack, bemoaning the mockumentary format and chiding the premise for wasting the talents of "Saturday Night Live" alum Amy Poehler.  Amy Poehler spent seven years on that late-night sketch show. Following a rejigging of Emmy rules, Poehler  was the first cast member to land a nod as a supporting performer in a comedy series. She lost that race last season to Jean Smart of "Samantha Who?" While she performed a variety of roles to perfection on "SNL," on "Parks and Recreation" Poehler plays just one part -- Leslie Knope,
