NBC has decided to cancel Animal Practice and replace it with the why was it renewed Whitney starting on November 14th. Now Animal Practice might not have been the best new show of this weak fall, but I think everyone can agree that their trained monkey Crystal is a millions times funnier, prettier and a better actress than Whitney Cummings. Seriously just when I thought that NBC got their crap together, they do this. I think the TV viewers would rather have Community come back instead of Sh!tney. Unless that unfunny comedy is being aired now to burn it off, so they can air a drama in the 8p slot on Wednesdays.
And talking about midseason NBC will have at least one hole to fill on their Thursday nights when 30 Rock says goodbye soon. Especially since they also killed off the even unfunnier Next Caller. On a positive note I enjoyed 1600 Penn and think that show has potential, but is that enough to save the network’s Thursday nights? You know since Up All Night should be renamed Down in Overnights.
If I were NBC, I would rush a pilot order for a show starring Crystal the Monkey. She needs to be back on weekly TV and NBC needs her to have one.
UPDATE: Tyler Labine Tweeted this about the cancellation, “So long @AnimalPractice. It’s been a blast and a half. Nothing sadder than cleaning out yet another trailer:(” I can’t wait for him to get a successful show for once!
Even though Linda Hogan is no longer getting married, she still opted to appear on TLC’s Brides of Beverly Hills. Maybe it is me but if my engagement was called off, the last thing I would want to do is try on wedding dresses. Especially doing so on a TV show, but like I said that is just me.
Now when you read my headline you will be like there is no such thing as a First Lady debate and you will be right. But to the people that were asked about it outside Jimmy Kimmel Live’s studio, they actually said they watched it and picked their winner. Gotta love what people will do to be on TV.
And you have to watch the video all the way through for a surprise reveal that even made Kimmel laugh on his ABC late night show.
We have heard that actresses like Teri Hatcher were forced to wear pasties on their shows because the network found their nipples to be distracting, but we never heard that was the case for any actors. That is until Anthony Anderson told Conan O’Brien that NBC ordered him to wear them because his nipples were poking through the T-Shirts he wears on Guys with Kids. I have watched every episode of the show and never once focused on his pokies, have they attracted your attention on the show that airs Wednesdays at 8:30p?
So if networks are now asking actors to wear pasties, what’s next will they be forced to wear cups so their pen!ses don’t show. I mean it is the only reason to watch Mad Men, you know to see if you can Jon Hamm’s ham!
As a woman I think we need to stop this atrocity now and tell the networks we want to see men’s nipples and their pen!ses. I am still pissed they re-shot the pilot for Three Rivers and took away chance for us to see the outline of Alex O’Loughlin’s Hawaii Five-0 that was more like eight if you know what I mean!
Shortly after Lindsay Lohan finished shooting Liz & Dick, she started filming The Canyons. Well the cameras stopped rolling on that movie a few months ago, but that doesn’t mean she was done working on it. Last night Bret Easton Ellis went all American Psycho on her when he Tweeted this “Patrick Bateman has just headed over to Lindsay Lohan’s hotel to confront her as to why she missed her fucking ADR on ‘The Canyons’ today…” No reason was given why she didn’t show up for work, but let’s be real it is just Lindsay being Lindsay.
BTW who else thinks that maybe she needs someone like Patrick Bateman to finally get her life into much needed shape.
