The Goldberg’s creator Adam F Goldberg Tweeted the above photo and said, “Guess what I’m doing an episode about???” If you look at the first few postcards on the board, you can see they correspond with the first line of lyrics (Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray) to Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start Fire. Therefore, we can pretty much assume that he is doing an episode about the song that covers 40 (1949-1989) years of history.
Now that we know that this is coming up, I cannot wait to see what they do with it. It is probably going to be brilliant, sweet and hysterical like all of the other episodes from the hit sitcom. On that note, while CBS and NBC are airing repeats against the World Series game (go Dodgers), ABC is not. Thus, you don’t want to miss tonight’s The Goldbergs at 8p.

Yesterday, on The Wendy Williams Show, Jerry O’Connell dressed up as Kylie Jenner and her older sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian. All three of Kris Jenner’s girls are expecting babies within the next few months.
Now that you know what his costume is, you just have to watch him pull it off because he was so spot on with his imitation of the three sisters. I could not stop laughing and also thinking how beautiful he is as a woman. I am hoping that Ryan Seacrest sees this and gives O’Connell a show doing the Kardashian 5.
On that note, Wendy Williams was right that Live with Kelly made a mistake by not going with O’Connell over Seacrest. I totally agree because watch how brilliant Jerry is in this video. He killed it last Halloween on the ABC talk show, while Ryan just, well, just there because we are barely talking about their annual episode and they donned 70 different costumes in an hour.

Last week, ABC banished Ten Days in the Valley to Saturdays starting in December and today CBS pulled Me, Myself and I from the schedule effective immediately. They say they will air the remaining episodes at some point, but I won’t my breath because I want to live.
When it comes to cancelling the show, I say thank you for putting it out of my misery. I love John Laroquette, which is why I will still watching, but I had several issues with the show. First off, the stories for the young, middle age and older versions of Alex Riley did not mesh together. It was not cohesive. Thus, it never made sense why we were looking at his life during three different time periods of his life if they were not all going to come together at the end like Modern Family. The next problem was even more frustrating, it is the casting. It is the absolute worst casting job on television. Not only did the three Alex Rileys not look remotely alike, even though they were the same person, neither did anyone else. C’mon Tim Reid and Jaleel White look nothing alike, even though they are playing the same character 25 years apart. Did the casting department not learn anything from This Is Us? Guess not, and with that I am glad Laroquette can return to TNT’s The Librarians.
When it comes to what will replace it, starting on Monday, 9JKL moves to 9:30p and the following week Man with a Plan returns to its 8:30p slot.
Why did they make the move now? Most likely because with The Big Bang Theory no longer leading the night, the whole lineup collapsed in the ratings. Hopefully, it will do better now because I do not want to lose Superior Donuts and 9JKL. I truly enjoy both comedies. Who doesn’t love Judd Hirsch, Katey Sagal, Linda Lavin, Elliott Gould and Mark Feuerstein?
What will be the next show to get the axe? I would not be surprised if it is The Mayor and/or Kevin (Probably) Saves the World. The Mayor needs some work, it is missing something I cannot quite put my finger on. And Kevin is a really good show, but ABC did not enough to promote it and do it properly. Check it out on the ABC app or OnDemand and you will fall in love with the endearing family drama. It is the feel good show we all need.
