Thinkfactory Media, which was acquired by Britain’s ITV in June, has promoted longtime exec Adam Reed to Evp. Reed started working with Thinkfactory founder and CEO Leslie Greif in 2004. Among his credits are co-creating and executive producing A&E’s Gene Simmons Family Jewels as well as developing and exec producing such shows as Preachers’ Daughters, Marriage Bootcamp: Bridezillas, Prank My Mom, and Teach: Tony Danza. In his new position, he will play a key management role in all areas of the Hatfields & McCoys production company and continue to be responsible for overseeing creative and business development, along with day-to-day production across all series. There’s been a flurry of movement in the ITV family recently. As reported earlier today, ITV Studios America is getting a new president in Orly Adelson. Earlier this month, ITV Studios U.S. Group was forged as an umbrella company for the ITV stable...

1. Cup Cake Wars (Food Network) Cupcake Wars is a Food Network show in which contestants go head to head to see who can make the best cupcakes. Basically, whoever doesn’t make a dry cupcake wins. And If you’ve ever watched the show, you for sure hate the host. But, for those of you who haven’t ever watched the show, let’s see if you can hate the host just from looking at a picture of him. Yup! You can! And way to hop on the cupcake trend in a timely manner, Food Network. I hope Pannini Fracases is a big hit for you guys next season. 2. Teach: Tony Danza (A&E) This A&E reality show followed Tony Danza as he attempted to teach a high school English class in Philadelphia. It was a nightmare. And while it was fascinating to watch exactly one time, is one...

This is a recap of the seventh and final episode of A&E’s new television program, Teach: Tony Danza. The show was not renewed for a second season and Tony Danza is no longer a teacher. We’re all going to be okay. The previous episode of Teach: Tony Danza was great. It seemed like Tony Danza was actually getting the hang of this whole teaching thing and that the students were finally beginning to see him as a trustworthy authority figure. It was a genuinely interesting hour of television that made you think to yourself, “Wait, this might actually be a worthwhile series.” But then this episode happened and you’re like, “Whoops never mind!” This show is the worst. Even listening to the students has gotten exhausting. Let’s get through this last terrible episode and then try to find a colon cleanse type diet for our brains.

This is a recap of the sixth episode of A&E’s new television program, Teach: Tony Danza. Due to shrinking ratings, A&E decided to cut their losses and just air the two final episodes of the season Friday night. There is nothing pointing to a second season. Well, guys. Here’s a terrible thing that happened. I spent 7 hours yesterday writing an epically long post about the the 6th episode of Teach: Tony Danza. Why so long? Because, completely out of the blue, It Was An Amazing Episode!! It was a genuinely good hour of television that blew my mind and completely changed my view of Tony Danza. I wrote the single longest blog post about it that I have ever written. And then right before I went to publish it, I clicked the save button and everything disappeared except the first paragraph. I didn’t even know...

Didn’t A&E used to be an informational network that bordered on the pretentious? Am I wrong about this? I’m pretty sure it used to be a hipster History Channel for parents. Lately, though, it seems like they’ve really Tlc-ed out. A little over a month ago they premiered a reality show about Tony Danza called Teach: Tony Danza (for which Bwe now does recaps). Let me tell you. It is an awful show. And now… the Hasselhoff reality show. Let’s take a look at it. The Hasselhoffs. There’s no way to tell what the show is going to be from that preview, but I would place every penny in my Bank of America Keep The Change savings account that it is going to be the Stupidest Sh*T On Television. The question is… should it get recapped? Should somebody keep a record of this...

This is a recap of the fifth episode of A&E’s new television program, Teach: Tony Danza. This is the episode where A&E gave up on the show. Last Friday, they claimed by way of my DVR guide to air two new episodes. They, however, just aired the same episode twice. Then this week, they aired a new episode, but put a different new episode on iTunes. I’m the only one in the whole universe of Teach: Tony Danza who is doing my part to stay on schedule. I guess what I’m really trying to say is that all the screen captures for this episode will be pictures of my TV taken with my iPhone. This is a real pain in the ass. Thanks Alot, Tony Danza Well, this episode was pretty nuts. It’s like somebody took the first four episodes of Teach: Tony Danza...

This is a recap of the fourth episode of A&E’s new television program, Teach: Tony Danza. Normally these recaps go up at the beginning of the week, but this one is late because I was on vacation and busy falling, smacking my face on a paddle board and swallowing six gallons of sea water a bunch of times in a row. This episode is a real watershed moment in the history of Teach: Tony Danza. Instead of being entirely Tony-Danza-centric and treating every story line as if they are just things that happen to Tony Danza, the subplots actually come together like a real episode of television. Also, this little asian kid basically tells Tony Danza to shut the f*ck up and we should all mail him an Emmy Award. The episode begins with Tony Danza inviting his childhood friend, Bobby G., to the school. Tony Danza explains that Bobby G.

This is a recap of the third episode of A&E’s new television program, Teach: Tony Danza. The only comforting thing about this show existing is how few people actually know it exists. If you know somebody who doesn’t know about it, do not burden them by telling them about it. This should stay on the down low — specifically the down low for terrible things. What has became clear in the past two episodes is that Tony Danza‘s biggest struggle so far as a teacher is that he’s makes everything too much about himself. He has good intentions, but he’s used to performing, and that tendency is a hurdle in the way of him keeping the focus on the students. So what happens in this episode is that Tony Danza makes everything about himself more than ever before. What the F*Ck, Tony Danza?! We begin.

This is a recap of the second episode of A&E’s new television program, Teach: Tony Danza. There has never in the history of television been a more serious show that is more difficult to take seriously. This show is way not joking. You know that feeling you used to get on your second day of school? It’s that feeling where your first-day nerves have calmed down and you finally are able to come to terms with how the rest of your school year might turn out. That is what the second episode of Teach: Tony Danza is like. And, wow. What you end up coming to terms with is that this sh*t is for real; the stakes are actually very high. The terrible idea of having Tony Danza teach high school English in order to provide television entertainment is actually being done, and Tony Danza is actually these kids’ teacher,...

This is a recap of the first episode of A&E’s new television program, Teach: Tony Danza. Oh, Boy. It is the worst show. When you hear the title “Teach: Tony Danza,” you assume the show will have a sense of humor about itself. It does not. The first episode of Teach: Tony Danza begins with three minutes of explanation of the show’s premise. Listed below are the things that are explained plus one thing that is implied. 1. Tony Danza originally was going to be a teacher. 2. Instead of teaching he fell ass backwards into acting after being a boxer? 3. He wants to explore the path in life he did not take. 4. He has left his family behind in L.A. to come teach at an urban public school, Northeast Highschool, in Philadelphia. 5. There are no urban public schools in L.A. You guys want to hear a...

Can you start a new career, even if you're well-advanced into middle age? And can you teach an old dog new tricks?
The season premiere of 'Teach: Tony Danza' (Fri., 10Pm Et on Aetv) follows the adventures of actor Tony Danza -- as he attempts to make it as a public school educator. The 59-year-old Danza spent a year in an urban high school in Philadelphia, trying on the new role of 10th-grade English teacher. But on his first day of class, Mr. Danza is already sweating bullets.
Before becoming an actor, Tony got a history degree in college, and had dreams of one day instructing a class full of students. Of course, his television and movie career interfered with these plans. However, Tony's acting career has, uh, died down lately -- so he's not really too busy these days. This is the perfect...

Then I catch up with the latest Hollywood couple to get their own reality show, Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna, to talk about -- wait for it -- Snooki. Seriously.

A sitcom star gets real with highschool kids, fans get a chance to bring home a bacon Kevin Bacon, and Ok Gomakes a video for the dogs—here are this week's most inspirationalpop culture moments.
Tony Danza’s The Boss on Teach
Glee may have Will Schuster. Community may have had SenorChang. But A&E’s new show Teach has landed a major sitcom star—TonyDanza. But there’s a twist. The actor from Taxi and Who’s the Boss? isn’tplaying a high school English teacher on a scripted series with a laugh track. Teach is a reality show and the students are actual 10th graders who attend NortheastHigh School in Philadelphia.
See, when Danza heard President Barack Obama make the callfor people to give back, Tony decided to do just that. He pursued his long setaside aspirations to teach and, well, a reality show documenting the year-longprocess seemed a no brainer.

He's hosted a talk show, written an Italian cookbook, starred on Broadway and tackled TV roles like a true boss. So what's Tony Danza's latest gig? Teaching 10th grade English in Philadelphia.
In 'Teach: Tony Danza' (premieres Fri., Oct. 1, 10Pm Et on A&E), the 'Taxi' and 'Who's the Boss?' alum decides to go back to school (he does have a degree in education for anyone curious about his qualifications) to try his hand in the classroom.
I caught up with Danza to hear how his students reacted on his first day (the 15- and 16-year-olds were born years after 'Boss' ended in 1992), what he learned from this experience and what made him laughingly call a student "schmo." Then I got to take a look at that famous mug -- dimples, distinguished gray hair and all --...
