BTWF roles: Jeff Garlin on Roseanne
September 24th, 2013 under Before They Were Famous, The Goldbergs. [ Comments: none ]


Before Jeff Garlin was starring in The Goldbergs, a sitcom that takes place in the ’80s, he was a guest star on the sitcom Roseanne in the ’80s. He looks the same now as he did when he was 27 in that 1989 episode.

This montage will make you not want to fly ever again
September 24th, 2013 under Awesome Videos. [ Comments: none ]


Screen Junkies put together a pretty awesome montage of several plane crashes from different movies and television shows. The only problem about it, is that you are never going to want to get on a plane ever again after sitting through the whole thing.
I mean I used to fly from JFK into MIA every January when I was in college and the evil people at TBS would play the movies about a plane that crashed doing that same route on December 29, 1972. As nervous as I was to fly after watching those telemovies, it is nothing as compared to the fear I have now.
Granted I would be more even more terrified if they would’ve had some more clips from Final Destination and the Airport movies and left out the Iron Man ones.

ABC brings the fun, heart, laughs and action to their Tuesdays nights!
September 24th, 2013 under ABC, The Goldbergs. [ Comments: none ]


ABC is adding 4 different types of shows to their lineup tonight and the one thing they all have in common is that they are all enjoyable and you will be hooked on the Alphabet network from 8-10:59p.
First up at 8p is Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD and I don’t have to tell you anything more than that to get you to watch the show. Once you heard that ABC picked up the Joss Whedon show, you already Season Passed it. So there you have it.
Next up at 9p is The Goldbergs, and I love love love this show.

When show creator, Adam F Goldberg, was a little boy his parents bought him a video camera. Well now he is an adult with a few shows under his belt like Still Standing and Breaking In, so he is turning his home movies into a sitcom that you will remind you of your family. As soon I saw the pilot, I immediately thought of my cousins. So I told my told my dad to watch it and he thought the same thing. Although, he actually called them and told them that the show reminded him of them.
My point is whether it is our immediate family or one we know, we are going to relate to The Goldbergs. A family of 5 in the ’80s that loves each other by screaming that love all the freaking time.
Murray (Jeff Garlin) is the screaming dad, who loves his family in his own special way. Then there is Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) the over-protective mother, who everyone is afraid of for just cause. Erica (Hayley Orrantia) is the oldest, popular and hates being with her family. Barry (Troy Gentile) is the middle child and his dad and him just don’t see eye-to-eye. Finally there is little Adam (Sean Giambrone) who loves hanging with his grandfather (George Segal) and videotaping his loud family. Little did he know that those videos would someday be turned into a sitcom.
The Goldbergs might not seem like they love each other, but they do. You will see that each and every week as we get a glimpse into a normal family’s life from 25 years ago, re-imagined for current day but told in the past.
The Goldbergs like Wonder Years is current in the past and will be something we will still be watching for many decades to come.

Next up at 9:30p is The Trophy Wife. Kate (Malin Akerman) recenlty married twice divorced father of 3, Pete (Bradley Whitford), and the 20-something former-party girl is learning how to adjust to her instant family that includes two ex-wives.
Diane (Marcia Gay Harden) is the first wife, doctor and uptight. Diane and Pete have twins together, and Hillary (Bailee Madison) and Warren (Ryan Lee) your typical teenagers trying to adjust to the new mom, old mom and dad.
Jackie (Michaela Watkins) is wife #2 and she is more of a free spirit. She adopted Bert (Albert Tsai) from China with Pete and he is a handful.
And when you put them all together, you get a sitcom that works in the modern day when so many families are like this one!

Finally at 10p we get the Lucky 7 and we are lucky to have this show.
Seven people work at a gas station in Queens, NY and their lives about to change. That is because they just won the big lottery. Their lottery pool numbers just came in and now they are all millionaires.
Matt Korzak (Matt Long) is about the become a dad for the second time, and his girlfriend is begging to move out of his mother’s house because she can’t stand her. But he doesn’t have the money to get them a place of their own and she is threatening to leave him. He begs his boss, Bob Harris (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.), to give him an advance and he let’s him know that Gold Star Gas N’ Shop might be sold and they will all be out of work. Including single mother, Leanne Maxwell (Anastasia Phillips), who is just trying to feed her daughter. On the other hand Denise Dibinksy (Lorraine Bruce) is trying not to eat as much as she always does, so that maybe her husband will love her once again. Denise is trapped in a loveless marriage and she thinks her husband might be cheating on her.
Samira Lashari (Summer Bishil) is a talented musician and she doesn’t have the money to pursue her dream, so she works hard trying to raise enough money to do that. Matt’s brother, Nicky (Stephen Louis Grush), has a crush on and thankfully the feeling is not mutual because he is an ex-con and owes some bad guys a lot of money. He will do anything to get that money, including rob the place where he works. When his boss surprises him during the robbery, Nicky hits him in the head and he is sent to the hospital and Matt isn’t sure he will make it.
Finally there is Antonio Clemente (Luis Antonio Ramos), who only wants to give his wife and three kids a better life. So instead of putting money in the office lottery pool, he has been putting it in a coffee jar at home. Antonio isn’t the only one who missed out on a payment, so did Matt and now the remaining 5 have to decide whether to let him have to money or not.
By the end of the episode, you will see how even though they don’t have the money yet, they are starting to change.
So each week we will watch as 7 people went from surviving to thriving and how that will change them forever.
Lucky 7 is a feel good show because except for Nicky, you are rooting for them to enjoy the money. So tune in to watch some average folks become anything but.

Syfy has a Fangasm and Chicago Fire is in trouble!
September 24th, 2013 under Dick Wolf, NBC, Syfy. [ Comments: 1 ]


Tonight at 10p on Syfy 7 geeks move into a house and compete for an internship with Stan Lee. That position is a Fangasm for these 7 roommates and they will do what they can to get that job. As they await to find out the answer, they will do different challenges to prove how big of a fan they are as they get rewards for proving their love for all things geekdom.
Tonight they try to get people to sign a petition for a National Geek Appreciation Day, and they forget one key element. Will that hurt them? You will have to tune into find out.
Then they compete for an opportunity to have dinner with the one and only George Takei. There is one guy who is such a big fan of Star Trek that he is willing to endure a lot of pain just for the chance to meet his idol. It is mind over matter, but will matter win?
What I like most about Fangasm is they picked people you can actually like. Other shows in this genre pick at least one person with anger issues and bitter, and that makes the show less enjoyable. On this one, they all get along and work together. Because of that I sincerely enjoyed it and I know you will too. And you are going to love Andrew, he looks the nerdiest one of them all and he’s the only one with a girlfriend. With in a few minutes of getting to know him, you will see why that is the case. Not saying that the other ones deserve to be single, but you are just going to adore everything about him.
Meanwhile over at NBC, Chicago Fire is back tonight at 10p and their house might not be around for much longer. Due to city cutbacks, Firehouse 51 is on the short list to be closed down. Even though their days might be number, they will be getting some firefighters from a recently closed house. That means things are going to be tight for them, like shared lockers and no overtime. They are not happy about these changes and that will force one of them to make a decision that can totally change things for everyone.
There is something about Chicago Fire that makes this show so much different than other shows about firefighters. It just as much about the fires as it is the relationships between them and because that you find yourself tuning in every week. This is a show that will be around long time just like Dick Wolf’s other shows that never seem to go away!
