Writer-Performers Search for Their Sweet Spot
15 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Every year, a gaggle of gagmen and funnywomen set out in pursuit of that holiest of TV grails: the first-person sitcom — a show written around a comedian’s distinctive personality. Nothing can curb their enthusiasm for stepping out of standup or sketch comedy into their own keylight.
“Most comedies work when there’s a strong personality at the center,” says producer Judd Apatow, who has godfathered Garry Shandling and Lena Dunham in their sitcom quests. “And though most of it is fabricated, the core of it comes from truths about a lead actress or actor.”
The secret seems to be finding the topliner’s sweet spot where real-life personality, stage persona and fictional role magically click into place.
In fact, this kind of comedy is older than television itself. Nobody, they say, was kinder or more generous offstage than vaudevillian Benny Kubelsky. But his slightly prickly streak gave radio star »

Linda Cardellini Got Her TV Start On A Game Show
19 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Linda Cardellini is wowing critics and fans alike with her turn on "Mad Men." But she got her start on television by screaming and waving her hands above her head. She talked with guest host John Oliver on "The Daily Show" about her unexpected debut, which was on "The Price Is Right" when she was 19 back in 1994.
Her big prize on the show was a fireplace, which she has hung onto to this day. Why?
"'Cause it was the very first time I was ever on television," Cardellini explained. "So, once I was really an actress, I was going to put a plaque on it that said, ‘My First Time on Television,’ and be really proud of it. And so I kept it all these years and never bought the plaque. And I just put it up my house."
There is one drawback, though. "It looks terrible," Cardellini admitted.

Big bucks, expensive vowels, and a million cackling Whammies.
The Daytime Emmys are this Sunday, and for the first time ever, there’s a gay nominee for Best Game Show Host — the marvelous and frightfully funny Billy Eichner. Wahoo! To celebrate, let’s rank the 25 best game shows of all time. Get out your purse and prepare to buy some vowels, gents.
25. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?: Sorry Double Dare, but Carmen Sandiego is the greatest kids’ game ever. It made geography cool while highlighting the glamorous felonies of a femme fatale. I wish more TV shows concluded with the entire cast yelling in unison, “Do it, Rockapella!”
24. Let’s Make a Deal: Carol Merrill and Monty Hall could woo you into anything. Though if you’re already wearing a chicken outfit, you probably don’t need much coercing.

Top 5: Xbox One Reveal, Man Of Steel Final Trailer, The Hangover Part III Interviews, The World’S End, Before Midnight Interviews

Whether you're a gamer or not, if you have the slightest interest in pop culture happenings then you probably know that Microsoft announced its next-gen console, the Xbox One, earlier this week. As someone who has already decided to throw all of my console eggs into Microsoft's basket, I was a little disappointed that my two primary questions: 1) "When can I get it?" and 2) "For how much?" weren't answered. Nevertheless, the Interwebs are also filled with grumblings from undecided consumers who thought Microsoft's big reveal focused too much on the other entertainment features of the One as opposed to the gaming experience (see this amusingly edited video of the announcement as an example of their frustration). Don't get me wrong, I couldn't care less about using my Xbox to check fantasy football stats and/or being able to power the console on with my voice as opposed to the physically »

Is Xbox One the Next Cable Box?
21 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
In order for the Xbox to be the main entertainment hub in the living room, Microsoft needs to do one thing: get rid of the cable box.

The company made that more of a reality on Wednesday when it revealed that the new Xbox One will deliver live TV streams through the more powerful game console that connects to the Internet.
Xbox execs provided few details on who it’s struck deals with to provide the live TV streams, but the one-hour Xbox One unveiling didn’t shy away from showing off live TV features that the Xbox One will offer. Demo showed off how the device’s software can search for specific series, channels or what shows are “trending” among Xbox Live’s members.
Phrases like “watch TV” were also used to demonstrate how the Xbox One can quickly switch over to live TV. »

The Mindy Project Review: Should I Stay, Or Should I Go
14 May 2013 9:09 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
The Mindy Project Season 1 has been an entertaining ride, but at times the show seemed to lack a consistent story line as it searched for it's identity.
Mindy's relationship with Casey was the best thing to happen to her, the sitcom and a big reason why "Take Me With You" was such a great finish.
As Mindy and Casey hilariously tried their hand at cyber sex, I figured he was actually in Haiti and she was still in New York. I was pleased to see him walk into the bedroom with his laptop. Casey wasn't going to be just another passing relationship for Mindy.
Mindy's decision to go to Haiti was very out of character and her coworkers showed just how well they knew her with their betting pool. Morgan was back on the job, but Tamra was surprisingly still as well. Up till this episode, I had been about »

Who should judge 'American Idol'?
26 April 2013 11:19 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
We all should, really, for being so Lame. As rumored this week, Idol may shake up its entire judging panel next season in an effort to boost ratings. It’s getting beaten in the adult demo by repeats of The Big Bang Theory and a fresh-from-the-swamp ep of Duck Dynasty. Oof. Does the show even matter anymore? It’s, like, way existential.
Go right to Page 2 for our list of potential new judges, and suggest your own! I need to rant for a bit below.
Now, I am by no means a fan of this current low-chemistry judging panel. Keith Urban seems genuine, »

'Homeland', 'Star Trek', 'Popstars': 50 most influential TV shows
18 April 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
A list has been compiled of the 50 most influential TV shows since 1963.
Swiss ratings company The Wit compiled the list to mark the 50th anniversary of the Cannes Mip TV trade show.
However, because the BBC refused to make clips of its shows available - its shows were excluded from the rundown.
Virginia Mouseler of The Wit told the Daily Mail: "We included shows that had a huge impact around the world by being distributed to many different countries.
"Secondly, we picked shows that may be less well known internationally, but that had a big impact in their own country."
She added: "We really wanted to put Doctor Who top of the list. But as the BBC wouldn't give us the rights to show a clip on the website, we had to replace it with Astro Boy, which was created in the same year.

MipTV: Buyers Addicted to Old Formats, With New Twist
3 April 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
As television types head to MipTV (April 8-11), they’re finding traditional formats are returning with a twist — and that twist usually consists of interactivity or social media.
To that end, “Big Brother” is making a comeback across the globe, with a Brazilian broadcaster airing the show in 3D and a Spanish broadcaster allowing people to compete for a slot in the house on Facebook. Pop Idol is returning to the air in Turkey. And distributors have taken notice of the resurgence of “Family Feud,” which is a bonafide hit in domestic syndication with host Steve Harvey.
“I think that traditional games are going to come back with little spins and hooks and twists to make them feel fresher,” says Chachi Senior, CEO of Ardaban, the format label owned and operated by Shine America.

Across all genres, in front of the camera or behind, these innovators and tastemakers represent the leading lights of the smallscreen world while the sun is up. Here’s what’s on their minds. . .
“The Price Is Right” host
After more than 1,000 episodes at the forefront of daytime’s most-watched series (averaging nearly 5 million viewers), Carey still has predecessor Bob Barker on his mind every time out but feels secure in being captain of the ship. From a lower-class upbringing that gave him an appreciation for the value of the show’s prizes to his experience working in front of auds as a stand-up, Carey says he has been preparing to host “The Price Is Right” his entire life. But, he adds, what has made the most difference since taking the job has been his weight loss. “All of a sudden, I had all this extra energy,” he says. »
