When Seth MacFarlane and I were kids, family sitcoms were so sugary sweet that you got a cavity watching them.
But let’s be honest. Our families were nothing like the Cleavers, the Bradys, or the Huxtables. But then again, Bill Cosby was nothing like Cliff Huxtable, as we now know.
Anyways, the kids of today are getting a sitcom that is more like their home life on January 11th.
Seth MacFarlane is bringing his naughty, trash-talking, pot-smoking, beer-drinking, talking Teddybear Ted to the small screen for a seven-episode event on Peacock.
In this comedic prequel event series to the Ted films, it’s 1993, and Ted the Bear’s (Seth MacFarlane) moment of fame has passed. He’s now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts, with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett (Max Burkholder), along with John’s parents, Matty and Susan (Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach), and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham). Ted may be a lousy influence on John, but at the end of the day, he’s a loyal pal who’s always willing to go out on a limb for friendship.
What more do the fucking kids in America want and need? We are getting a foul-mouthed bear with parents and kids who curse equally as much and do things that we all do. Who needs moms who say gosh and darn when you can have dads who say shit and fuck?
Forget the Keatons. We now have Bennetts to be our role models. I can’t wait to show my nieces this series because they will be like Ted is just like you, Crazy Aunt Stacy!
Henry Winkler has a soft-spoken voice in his everyday life. However, The Fonz’s voice is much more forceful. So, who was the inspiration behind his character’s accent?
Yesterday, when the beloved actor was on The Jennifer Hudson Show, he revealed the man behind his infamous voice. And it is someone we all know.
Winkler said that Happy Days was looking for a tall Italian man to play the role, but instead, “they got a short Jew.”
Right before the audition, the short Jew had worked with the Italian Stallion Sylvester Stallone on The Lords of Flatbush. So Winkler went in thinking, “What would Sly do?” when he introduced himself. And he kept that going when he landed the part that changed his life forever.
And now that you know that, all you will hear is Stallone when you see Arthur Fonzarelli talk. At least, I know that is what I will be doing!
Emily Skaggs shared a video of Kevin, Joe, and Nick laughing uncontrollably at a recent concert. Want to see what caused the three brothers to get a case of the giggle, then click here!
Bruce Campbell is a treasure. Because of that, he is something you want to put in a time capsule so that future generations can understand and appreciate his greatness.
Therefore, it makes sense that he would host a show from a cave in 2037 about discontinued items that we used to love, which are no longer around, like The Jerry Springer Show, the Blackberry, and AOL.
In the weekly series Discontinued, he will look back at the products, phenomenons, and phrases that are no longer with us in a way only he and other comedians can.
So make sure to watch Discontinued when it debuts on November 30th at 8p on the Maximum Effort Channel on Fubo and then Wednesdays at 9p before the Evil Dead get us and destroy everything that isn’t discontinued.
And on that note. Instead of saying that someone is cancelled, can we just say they were discontinued?
