The good news is that CBS ordered the back 9 episodes for Limitless, the bad news is that NBC’s The Player had its episode order count cut down to 9 from 13. The news is not really a surprise for either show.
When it comes to The Player, I didn’t hate it. It just wasn’t the type of show I watch and I guess others felt the same way.
When it comes to Limitless, I stopped watching it midway through the second episode. While I got bored with that show, others did not. Thus, why it will be around until May.
How do feel about today’s TV news?
UPDATE: The well has run dry for Blood & Oil because ABC cut their episode order down to 10 from 13. Not shocking at all because the show was treacherous to watch.
Howie Mandel got his first endoscopy yesterday and his son, Alex, recorded him as he was coming out of anesthesia. For the most, it was pretty tame, and he even complimented Alex more than he ever has in the past. But the best part came when the nurse offered him some juice and he thought she said Jews. Luckily, she handled it like a pro because I am sure she has seen and heard worse. Could you imagine if they could divulge all they’ve seen and heard when people come out of anesthesia? It would make a great television comedy that I would watch every week.
Undateable is already doing the unthinkable by going live every week on the East Coast, and now they decided to take it even further. NBC announced that not only will they go live at 8p ET every Friday night; they will also do a live show for the West Coast. That’s right, they will do two live shows every week, which hasn’t been done since, heck I don’t know when, if ever.
Why are they doing this? I am assuming that the cast and crew really enjoy what they are doing and want to keep this sitcom on the air. Actually a few weeks ago, Ron Funches, who plays Shelly, told me just that when I asked him how he reacted when they found out they would be doing the whole 3rd season live. He said, “We were just very excited that we were going to be able to come back. It was always up in the air, so just knowing we were going to come back, come back in the fall with a bunch of support, is nice.” Then he added, “If we have to do it live, if we have to do it underwater, then we’ll do it that way.” As of now, there are no plans to do the show underwater. But how cool would that be?
One thing they are doing is they are interacting with the fans on social media and promoting the show even on their days off. Funches explained why they are interacting with their fans by Tweeting, using Periscope and even a real phone (313-525-2014), “We’ll be just doing anything we can to keep this show alive and in people’s minds.” Then he added, “That is what it has been all about. The only we survive, is that we have a lot of fans online that get the word out. We are not going to run away from that now. We are fully invested in it. That’s how we are alive, fans are like we like this show.”
For the most part, Undateable is Funches first big role and he is loving his time on the set. He described it as, “It is a lot of fun, especially if it is always something you wanted to do your whole life. You are like, oh man, this is cool. Because sometimes you are like this is for real and then you look up and, oh no, this is real fake.” One thing he can’t fake is his friendship with everyone there. He told us he loves that he gets paid to come in and chat with his friends.
We are happy, he’s getting paid to make us laugh with his signature giggle every week. His giggle is just one of the many reasons to tune in, but there are so many others. What other show would do Summer Nights like that? What show would go live not once, but twice every week? What show would give us new ways to have fun with friends like Slow Motion Celebration? There’s just so much to enjoy and the risks they are taking by going live every week shows how far they are willing to go to get us to watch. Because actors don’t like us to see them mess up, and already this season we have seen all but one of them screw up. Don’t worry Brent Morin is making up for that one person who hasn’t. Poor Brent!
So tune in tonight to see if this is the week that Bianca Kajlich will finally break. More importantly tune in for a show that will make you laugh and laugh and laugh some more. I promise you will it enjoy so much, you will want to have a Slow Motion Celebration when it is done and so much more!
Justin Bieber is so happy that his Sorry video is finally out that he’s jumping for joy. Only problem for him, is the mini-trampoline was a little too close to the roof’s edge. So he banged his head really hard into it. Even though, you know it had to be really painful, he kept on jumping on the rebounder. Hopefully, it knocked some sense in to him.
BTW I love when he does dumba$$ things like that because they make me laugh. But then again, I am sadist and I love to see people in pain. Is that wrong? If it is, then I will direct you to The Beebs’ newest single, Sorry!
It has been 4 years since Adele released an album, but on November 20th she is ready to set fire to the rain with 25. She released the first single, which is also the first track, from the record today. If Hello doesn’t give you chills, then there’s something wrong with you. Her voice is truly is angelic, and I am grateful she gets to share it with all of us.
Listening to this song makes me think that the likes of Sia and Sam Smith were just placeholders until she was ready to record again.
So Adele, keep singing Hello to us because we never ever want to say goodbye to you.
UPDATE: If you are like me and when you heard her sing hello for the first time, then you thought of Lionel Richie’s Hello. Well, we are not alone. BlendTV thought the same thing and combined the two! What did is pure brilliance.
xoxo Michael!
