ABC Announces Fall Schedule – Get A Peek At What’s Coming
22 May 2012 12:59 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Terry O'Quinn as Gavin Doran in "666 Park Avenue" (ABC/Andrew Eccles)
ABC‘s slate of new shows for fall has a strange flavor to it, and it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The network has about as many new shows as returning ones (if you count all the midseasons), and a good percentage of the returning offerings are a year old or less, making this look a bit like a rebuilding year.
Not only is it a rebuilding year, but it’s the year of bringing back every actor and actress who ever had a decent run on a show before. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a network’s new season slate that was so crammed with people returning from something else. If you can’t make it good, I suppose, make sure viewers recognize the faces.
It’s tricky to get a solid feel »

New TV Season Breakdown: ABC
18 May 2012 4:33 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the third one announced. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on ABC.
An odd year for the once mighty juggernaut which can still pack 'em in. It had surprise success stories with "Once Upon a Time" and "Revenge", the latter becoming an unexpected international hit, and several shows have gotten renewals despite more modest numbers. Still, with it battling with NBC for the third and fourth position overall, the network has to introduce ten shows over the course of the season in the hope of getting a few stickers.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen include the fashion label dynasty soap "Americana", ABC's update of the 90's "Beauty and the Beast" TV series, the Roland Emmerich-produced thriller "Dark Horse", the »

Light-Hearted First Trailer for How To Live With Your Parents with Scrubs’ Sarah Chalke
17 May 2012 1:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Sarah Chalke (Scrubs) is returning with a new programme in January next year, taking the lead in ABC’s How to Live with your Parents (For the Rest of your Life).
After Mad Love was cancelled after a short-lived season, following Chalke’s leading role in Scrubs, we heard earlier this year that she’d signed on for a new comedy which has just had its first trailer debut.
Julie Anne Robinson (Weeds, One for the Money) is directing the pilot, from a script by Claudia Lonow (Accidentally on Purpose), with Elizabeth Perkins, Brad Garrett, and Orlando Jones, and Rachel Eggleston playing Chalke’s young daughter.
“Polly (Sarah Chalke) is a single mom who’s been divorced for almost a year. The transition wasn’t easy for her, especially in this economy. So, like a lot of young people living in this new reality, she and her daughter, Natalie (Rachel Eggleston »

How to Live With Your Parents: First Look at ABC's New Sarah Chalke Comedy
Scrubs star Sarah Chalke is returning to TV this coming season in How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life).
Chalke plays Polly, a single mom of young daughter Natalie (Rachel Eggleston), who has been divorced for nearly a year. But the dissolution of her marriage in this economy forced her to make a terrible choice that no kid really wants to make: she moved back home with her parents, eccentric couple Elaine (Elizabeth Perkins) and Max (Brad Garrett).
Of course, uptight, vanilla Polly clashes with her laid-back, sexually adventurous parents. Can this household come together to raise young Natalie? Fortunately, Polly has another support system in her best friend Gregg (Orlando Jones), her loveable yet irresponsible ex-husband Julian (Jon Dore) and her cool and fun assistant Jenn (Rebecca Delgado Smith).

Sarah Chalke learns 'How to Live With Your Parents' on ABC
15 May 2012 4:17 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Single mom Polly (Sarah Chalke) needs a fresh start, and so she seeks help from her mom and dad. Whoops.
Chalke ("Scrubs," "Mad Love") plays a woman determined to be the "best single working mom in the universe" in "How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)," which easily takes this season's crown for longest show title. She looks to her folks (Elizabeth Perkins and Brad Garrett) for support and a place to live, but mom and dad are pretty happy with their empty-nest life, and they don't see much upside into changing their ways for Polly and her daughter, Natalie (Rachel Eggleston).
Chalke is an expert at playing tightly wound characters, and Perkins is working some of the same self-centered vibe she did on "Weeds" (though without the nasty streak). Garrett, meanwhile, gets to work his deadpan in a single-camera comedy instead of playing to »

ABC's New Schedule: 'Revenge' Heads To 'Desperate' Slot & More
15 May 2012 10:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
ABC is shaking things up for its 2012-2013 schedule.
"Revenge" is heading over to Sunday nights at 9 p.m. Et, the slot the now dead "Desperate Housewives" occupied up until last week. Old standby "Grey's Anatomy" is staying put, as is "Scandal," but they're paired with newcomer "Last Resort."
In a press conference call right after the schedule announcement, ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee said he's not concerned about launching a big action show at 8 p.m. -- especially not "Last Resort," from "The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan.
"I have so much faith in Shawn. You get a sense in this job of the showrunners who really know how to drive the train. Don't forget -- we've opened strong action shows at that hour, and certainly there's an audience for it. We believe strongly in the strength of this show. We think it's a big, broad tent show, we believe in it, »

Haley Atwell and Imogen Poots Join Andre 3000′s Jimi Hendrix Biopic; Won’t Feature Any Music From Artist
11 May 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
I first heard about this project years ago – on a now-defunct and long-forgotten FX show called Sound F/X – which featured Orlando Jones, of all people. Lawrence Fishburne was once set to play Jimi Hendrix, but it never happened. A 2010 attempt to film the rock star’s life – to be directed by Paul Greengrass and backed by Legendary Pictures – was also thwarted when the famously protective Hendrix family denied any access to the man’s iconic music.
Now after some earlir rumors, Deadline reports that one half of OutKast (the fun half, some might say), Andre 3000 (Aka Andre Benjamin) is confirmed to play Jimi Hendrix in a biopic called All Is By My Side, to be directed by Three Kings screenwriter John Ridley, based on his original script. The kicker: it will take a sort of prequel approach, depicting the singer-guitarist in his years before he became the psychedelic guitar god we know and love. »

Rainn Wilson apologizes for 'rape' Tweet, calls it 'poorly conceived'
21 February 2012 1:59 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
It's become abundantly clear that celebrities should stay away from Twitter. In an attempt to be clever or opinionated, they usually end up saying something dumb. The latest person to do this is "The Office" star Rainn Wilson.
On Monday (Feb. 20), Wilson writes on the 140-character social media site, "If I ever date raped I would want it to be to 'Whole Lotta Love' by Led Zepplin." He has since taken the post down, but not before hearing it from some of his 2.9 million Twitter followers.
Wilson got the message. On Tuesday (Feb. 21), he apologizes, saying, "Apparently my poorly conceived date-rape tweet upset a lot of folks. Not a good topic to joke about. Sorry & won't do that again."
Wilson joins a long line of celebs - including Ashton Kutcher, Roland Martin, Gilbert Gottfried and Orlando Jones - who have said ill-conceived things on Twitter only to apologize soon after. »
