The good news is that The Neighborhood will be back for an 8th season. The bad news is that it will be its final one.
“The brilliant cast and creative team at THE NEIGHBORHOOD led by the incomparable Cedric the Entertainer have brought levity, laughter and poignant storylines to Monday nights for seven incredible seasons,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “THE NEIGHBORHOOD is a strong ratings performer for CBS and one of the top comedies on TV. We believe the show’s loyal fans deserve a proper farewell season full of the trademark humor and heartfelt moments that are synonymous with the series.”
The sitcom stars Cedric the Entertainer, Tichina Arnold, Max Greenfield, Beth Behrs, Sheaun McKinney, and Marcel Spears.
CBS is working on a spinoff with McKinney and Spears. I wonder what this renewal means for that show’s future.
In 1975, at the age of 38, Garrett Morris signed on to a brand new show called Saturday Night Live. No one knew how it would do, and little did anyone expect that 50 years later, it would still be airing at the same timeslot on NBC. But it is.
Because it has reached that milestone, NBC asked the surviving original Not Ready For Primetime Players to come back and celebrate. And Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Lorraine Newman, Jane Curtain, and Morris said yes!
The 88-year-old, who is still acting, did a little introduction of a sad but famous short that aired in 1978. In that intro, the actor shared something he didn’t expect would happen after all of these decades. He told the audience, “And way back then, when I joined the cast of Saturday Night Live. I had no idea y’all that I would be required to do so many reunion shows. But here I am, OK!”
See you at the 60th! Unless you can come up with a good excuse like Dan Aykroyd.
Now, let’s talk about the Tom Schiller film Don’t Look Back in Anger, which starred the late comedic genius John Belushi. In it, the comedian goes and visits the graves of his castmates and says that everyone thought he would be the first one to go, but he is the only one who is still alive. Sadly, four years later, he would be the first one to go. Seven years later, he was joined by the hilarious Gilda Radner. But the rest of them are still here, celebrating the show that made them household names for 50 years and counting.
Beth Behrs was a guest on the Jennifer Hudson Show yesterday, and she agreed to do something she quickly regretted.
The host and The Neighborhood star tried out viral food trends. What did they eat? They ate pickles with dipped in different things, like whipped cream, Nutella, and peanut butter. The pièce de résistance was a chamoy pickle, which is a dill pickle soaked in a mixture of chamoy, sweet and sour candy powders, and Takis.
However, there was a massive problem for the actress. She HATES pickles. Therefore, everything was going to be gross for her. And she let it show by spitting it all out while J-Hud swallowed each bite that she took.
And now the boys know which broke girl is the spitter and which one is the swallower!
Seriously, Behrs was a good sport because she never gave up, even though each food trend was on something she does not like to eat. Something I don’t understand because I love pickles.
It has been seven years since 2 Broke Girls ended its run on CBS. Like many actors, Beth Behrs took something from the set before it was trashed.
That thing was the ugly yellow and red waitress uniform that she wore for all six seasons of the show.
How did it go? It did not go well. The actress explained why, and it is completely relatable.
The actress, who stars in The Neighborhood, wrote, “When the #perimenopause #hotflash and #bloating hit at same time. @hotgirlspearls you truly are a lifesaver for real though! @2brokegirls it’s been a while since I tried on that outfit…”
Let’s be kinder to women and not judge them for the changes that happen to their bodies because we all go through it.
Back in March, ABC asked Tim Allen and Kat Dennings to shoot a pilot for Shifting Gears. However, the network opted not to pick it up in May. Instead, they asked the producers to rework it, and they did.
The rework worked, so ABC ordered it to series with Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, Maxwell Simkins, and Barrett Margolis as co-stars.
According to Variety, Allen plays Matt, “the stubborn, widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop. When Matt’s estranged daughter (Dennings) and her teenage kids move into his house, the real restoration begins.”
I have a feeling this will debut either with The Conners’ final episodes or after the series ends its run early next year.
I don’t know about you, but I look forward to laughing with this comedy.
