I miss the days when USA Network had shows like Monk and Psych on the air. While those days are long gone. Peacock keeps bringing them back for movies to remind us how good things used to be.
So far, we have gotten three Psych movies, and today the streaming service announced that they are getting one for Monk.
“When creator Andy Breckman came to us with a new Monk case set in present day, we immediately fell in love with this story all over again,” said Michael Sluchan, EVP, Movies, Kids, Daytime, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “The movie has the heart and humor of the original series with a contemporary relevance, and we’re overjoyed to work with the original creative team, including Andy, David Hoberman, Randy Zisk, the unparalleled Tony Shalhoub, and our partners at UCP, for what is sure to be a must-see movie event for Peacock audiences.”
In Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie, our favorite detective returns to solve one last, very personal case involving his beloved step-daughter Molly, a journalist preparing for her wedding.
I know you don’t care about that as much as you want to know who will be back for the reunion movie. Besides the obvious Tony Shaloub, we will also see Ted Levine (who better grow back his mustache), Traylor Howard, Jason Gray-Stanford, Melora Hardin, and Hector Elizondo reprise their roles.
Peacock did not say when this will debut, but I am assuming they will tie it in with the second season premiere of Poker Face. At least, that is what I would do.
Until we get the Monk movie, you can rewatch or discover all eight seasons on Peacock. Monk ran from 2001-2009.
Ted Lasso is back on Apple TV+, and the third season is shaping up to be its best one yet. I was so emotional watching the touching season premiere.
It starts off with Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) dropping his son off at the airport to go back to America to be with his mom. Now that his son has gone home, it is time to focus on the team.
AFC Richmond is last in everyone’s poll, and no one has any faith in the team. So it will be a miracle for them not to be in the last place. And that miracle is coming. But I can’t tell you how just yet.
Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) still wants and needs to do better than her ex-husband Rupert (Anthony Head), and she wants and needs Ted to step up. Especially after Nate (Nick Mohammed) totally trashed him during his first press conference as the new manager of West Ham United. When did Nate grow balls? And how will Ted react to all the negative things that Nate said about him?
Meanwhile, Keeley (Juno Temple) is adjusting to having her own PR firm, and it is not going as she expected. To make matters worse, she is still dealing with Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) dumping her.
And then there is the team. They need a pick me up. Can Ted and Roy Kent deliver it to them? They are going to have to, or they really will finish in last place.
While the team might be in last place, the show is in first place in our hearts. They say this is the last season. And if it is, then I can say they are going out splendidly after watching the first four episodes.
Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant starred in 2007’s Music and Lyrics, and both actors sang in the movie.
Recently when Grant was answering Wired’s Web’s Most Searched Questions, someone asked if that was him singing. He said that it was and that he was “autotuned beyond belief.”
Then Grant took back that statement, “Actually, that is not true. I am autotuned a bit, but not as much as some.” Then explained that Barrymore’s “singing is just horrendous. I mean, I’ve heard dogs bark better than she sings.”
However, he did say something positive about his co-star, “Once they tuned her up. She sounded way better than me because she’s got heart and voice and Rock’n’Roll.”
This has not been a good week for Grant and his mouth. First, he was trashed for a bad interview he had with Ashley Graham on the Oscars’ champagne carpet on Sunday. Where is Divine Brown when you need her?
And talking about divine. Wouldn’t it be divine if Grant was a guest on The Drew Barrymore Show and she talks to him about this? It would be even better if she sang for him without autotune!
