Last week during the Fox TCA Summer Press Tour day, Fox Broadcasting Entertainment President Kevin Reilly was asked if there was even the slightest chance that Breaking In could come back to the network and he gave us all a little glimmer of hope that it could. He said, “We said in the Upfront that we are planning to go to a four comedy block in the spring. We’re in preproduction on a pilot that we’re re doing through Warner Bros. Rob Thomas, Kevin Hart, Rob Corddry starring in a show called Little in Common. That’s about to go into production. We’ve got Teenage Daughter on the schedule. We did not see a way to…I like Breaking In. We all liked Breaking In. Part of the challenge we had this year is the high class problem. There are shows that we, unfortunately, had to cut this year that would have made the cut on other networks with bigger challenges. We had to make a judgment call. Breaking In fell a little bit in that camp. But ultimately, we had a very passionate group of producers and actors who wanted to try to keep it going. I think it’s part of that four comedy block. It still has a shot. They’ve agreed to extend an option, so we’ve kept it alive. You know what? Stranger things have happened. We have not ordered anything right now, but who knows? Family Guy was cancelled once. Seinfeld started with four episodes. You never know. So we’re going to revisit that comedy block, what makes up that four comedy block, a little later in the fall, and then we’ll officially look at Breaking In.”
So instead of sending Fox peanuts or buying Subway sandwiches, I have figured a way to let Fox know we want Breaking In back on TV and it won’t cost you a single cent. When I Hate My Teenager Daughter comes on, don’t watch it. Tell your friends and family not to watch it because if no one watches that show then maybe Breaking In will come back to TV in that four comedy block. I don’t want to put anyone out of work, but I am doing something merciful by telling you not to watch IHMTD because it was beyond bad and unfunny. So please don’t suffer like I did and opt not to watch I Hate My Teenage Daughter! We need Breaking In back on TV because it would be nice for Christian Slater to find out what it is like to have a show actually get a second season!
Live long and prosper, Breaking In!
Hell’s Kitchen is back on Fox tonight at 8p and you are not going to want to miss a single bite of what looks like the best season yet.
Seriously this season opener is so hot that one of the contestants will be rushed to the hospital and be forced to drop out of the show. So the steaks, I mean stakes, are raised high from the beginning. And it isn’t only the pressure of the competition that will have their pots overflowing, the contestants will be going at each other and they might want to consider hiding the knives. One of the contestants, who thinks they are all that, will be quickly humbled and one that bombed in the first round will come out smelling like fresh baked cookies. Meanwhile on the other team one chef will cook something he never did before and master it, but his perfection will go to waste when a team member fails miserably at their station. So tune in for season that starts things cooking from the get go. Seriously things are definitely boiling over on Hell’s Kitchen and this is only the first episode!!!
Cloris Leachman is 85 years old and that is not stopping her from showing off her nice rack on Raising Hope! Now that the show has finished its first season and getting ready for a second, Fox came up with an interesting way to promote its Tuesday night show that airs at 9p and give it a lift in the ratings like Cloris needs to do to her breasts. The network came up with a short video dedicated to MawMaw and her mawmaws. While I am not sure that is the best way to promote the show, you know what in a odd way it works.
Did she have a problem with Fox doing it? Nope because here is what she Tweeted along with the video “Everyone should watch this clip it’s so fu%#@ funny!! Ha ha ha I love it†And in a strange way, I love it too! Seriously is anyone else shocked by what a great body she has for her age?
Fox announced today when your favorite shows are coming back and when the new ones will make their debut. I am assuming because of Emily Deschanel’s pregnancy Fox has pushed the show until November 3rd. Which might be a mistake because that means from September 21st until then we will have to suffer through two hours a night, two nights a week of The X Factor and what if Simon Cowell’s latest singing competition is a bust. I mean, I have no interest in watching and I am sucker when it comes to these type of shows. Even though at the beginning of November sweeps The X Factor will be cut to an hour on Thursdays, it won’t be until November 23rd when the Wednesday version will go down to 90 minutes to make way for I Hate My Teenage Daughter. This is a smart move from Fox because let’s just say there is a word in the title of the comedy that expresses how I feel about the show. But it isn’t only Wednesday and Thursday’s scripted that are delayed, House will have to wait a week to be back on the air because Terra Nova is getting a two hour premiere and this show looks like it will be a smash hit and House is probably on its way out.
The best news that comes out of this announcement is it looks like that The Simpsons annual treat Treehouse of Horror won’t be tricked into waiting until after Halloween to air!

On Monday’s episode of MasterChef they were caught faking it, but luckily for the Fox show it wasn’t part of any of the competitions. In the opening seconds of the show when they mentioned thousands and thousands auditioned for the show, they faked the shot of how many people came out by doubling a few grew groups of the auditioners to fill in the empty spaces. Although when the average person watches it they will miss it but one quick eye is all it takes. And thanks to the internet, we get to see what they cooked up to fool us.
When EW’s Inside TV contacted Reveille Productions about the snafu, here what they said happened “We have reviewed the footage and it’s clear that the scene was enhanced in post-production. We sincerely apologize to our viewers and hope that they still enjoyed the show.†You know whoever made that decision is experiencing Hell’s Kitchen right about now.
Will this forgery make me stop watching the show? Nope because everyone knows reality television isn’t real, but it is always fun when they get caught!
BTW watch the opening scene below and see if you can catch the error without pressing pause. I know I couldn’t, but once I did hit pause I totally saw it.
