Last year, Little House on the Prarie celebrated its 50th anniversary. And it is still a very popular series in syndication by fans new and old.
It seemed like Michael Landon created a timeless family drama that did not need to be remade. However, today, Netflix announced, “Little House on the Prairie, a reimagining of the Laura Ingalls Wilder book series, is coming to Netflix!
“Part family drama, part survival tale, and part origin story, the series will offer a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the American West.”
The streamer is keeping it in the family of the OG program because the son of the man who bought the rights to the books in 1972 is producing this updated version of the classic story.
“It has been a long-held dream of mine to carry on my father’s legacy and adapt Wilder’s classic American stories for a 21st-century audience in a way that brings together fans of both the books and the original television series,” said Trip Friendly from Friendly Family Productions said in a statement. “I am thrilled by our talented creative team led by Rebecca Sonnenshine, who are bringing these beloved stories about family, community, and survival to longtime fans and new generations.”
I really hope they ask Alison Arngrim to play Mrs.Oleson. How amazing would it be if Nellie grew up to play her mom? That is, if the show is based on the third book in the franchise when the Ingalls move to Walnut Grove, Minnesota.
I have a new love, and his name is Emilio Vitolo, who owns the hot Italian restaurant Emilio’s Ballato in Manhattan.
The chef to celebrities like Lenny Kravitz, Joe Jonas, and Taylor Swift (and Katie Holmes in the bedroom) appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers yesterday for a cooking segment to show the host how to make Arrabita, aka Angry pasta, and boy, did he get the censors angry. That is because, between him and Seth Meyers, they said around 25 curse words (I lost count because I have only 20 fingers and toes), like shit and fuck. Therefore, they had to hit the bleep button that many times.
They might not have had to push it as much as they did if it were not for the two men drinking Manhattans during the segment.
And I fucking love that! Vitolo is so old-school New York. I so miss that attitude!
I’d also never fuck with him because he would go all Sweeney Todd on your ass. However, you would not be in the angry pasta because there is no meat in it!
Can someone tell me why someone has not been given the part-time actor, who looks like Joseph-Gordon Levitt, a cooking/behind-the-scenes restaurant show? It would be so fucking awesome to watch.
Now that I think about it, it would have to be on cable or streaming because of all of the cursing. I want/need to hear every curse word. But then again, I am from The Bronx, and cursing is just part of our vernacular.
Last week, Meg Ryan and new to Instagram, Billy Crystal posted a photo that looked like the ending of their 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally and teased that something “iconic” was in the works.
Today, we found it what it was. What is it? A Hellman’s commercial which will air during the second quarter of the Super Bowl.
In the advertisement, the actors go back to Katz’s Deli, and Ryan eats a turkey sandwich. At first, it does nothing for her. But then she adds Hellman’s mayonnaise to it, and she has another orgasm! However, unlike the last one, Crystal says, “This one’s real!”
I am surprised Hellman’s went there because I always think of them as a wholesome company! It’s nice to see they have a naughty side. Because, after all, you cannot say condiment without saying condom!
And that is why my advertising teachers told me not to go into advertising—the bad sexual jokes.
Side note: I wonder how Rob Reiner feels about Sydney Sweeney saying the line his mom did in the film he directed.
Finally, we all figured out that it was going to be a Super Bowl ad. But who did you think they were going to promote?
One more thing. Katz’s Deli teamed up with Hellman’s to release a “What She’s Having” Sandwich Package, which includes 1lb hand-carved turkey breast, half loaf deli rye bread (approx 16 slices), squeeze bottle of Hellman’s mayonnaise, 1lb Swiss cheese, 1 quart Katz’s half-sour (new) pickles, 1lb hand-carved juicy pastrami, 8oz deli mustard, and 1 old-world chocolate babka for dessert. Does it sound like something you would like to have by game day, then you need to order it by February 9th. And for $120, it’s a bargain!
Fire leads off the night when they get a call about an underground gas explosion at a highrise.
They rush into the building to save as many people as they can. When they arrive, Firehouse 51 splits up to rescue people in different parts of the building. They don’t have a lot of time because the building is at risk of collapsing.
Almost all of them get out. However, Lt. Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) and Officer Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) get trapped underground in a subway that derailed because of rubble from the explosion.
Ruzek is not the only PD member missing. So is Desk Sgt. Trudy Platt (Amy Morton). Even though the building is unstable, Mouch (Christian Stolte) and Hermann (David Eigenberg) go back in to look for her.
When they find her, she needs to be rushed to Chicago Med due to life-threatening injuries. That is when the medical drama takes over the three-hour event. They need to work on her and other injured victims from the explosion.
Not all the doctors are in the hospital. Dr. Archer (Steven Weber) and Dr. Frost (Darren Barnet) head out to the scene. Both will be important in different ways.
As lives are left in peril, Chicago PD has to investigate the source of the explosion. It turns out it was not an accident. Officer Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) are on the case.
In the final hour, they will have to find out who did it and why. There is one victim with burns all over her body who can be the person who will be able to help them the most. However, Dr. Caitlin Lenox (Sarah Ramos) won’t let them talk to the woman who is intubated after a surgery to save her life.
Will they be able to get the information they need? You will have to tune in to find out.
I am not usually a fan of the Chicago One crossover events because I don’t watch Chicago PD. However, this one flowed so naturally it truly feels like one show for three hours and not three individual shows.
Whether you watch the Chicago first responders’ drama or not, this is an exciting three hours that anyone can enjoy watching.
Gabriel Macht played Harvey Specter on Suits for nine seasons, and it is hard not to love his character. So when people see him in person, they stop to say hi.
However, he has a message for them if they say this one thing to him. “When people come up to me and they’re like, ‘I went to law school because of you,’ I always apologize profusely,” the actor told People. “If you like to read, that is great because you’re going to sit with a book, like this, for hours.”
If they were reading instead of watching Suits, then they might have become an actor instead of a lawyer.
Macht will be inspiring a new generation of lawyers when he guest stars on NBC’s Suits LA starting on February 23rd.
