On December 12th, Fox is releasing a PG-13 version of Deadpool. That means no sex, no cursing, no awesome deaths, basically no fun. How do you that when 9/10ths of the movie is left on the cutting room floor?
You bring in Fred Savage, put him in his Princess Bride bedroom and have Deadpool read him a fairytale. Only thing Fred is not a cute kid anymore. Thus, the only way to get him on board is to Misery him.
Now, he is on board. Or should I say his feet are on a board?
UPDATE: Fred Savage explains how they got him to be part of the Christmas movie of this year, “’The only way I’d do a remake of a sequel of a comic book movie is if they kidnapped me and forced me to do it,’” is something I said as a joke. As. A. Joke. #onceuponadeadpool”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvP9tQ9BPFE Child Support had me at Ricky Gervais interacting with kids, and kept me because it is such a lovable show. The game show that debuts on ABC tonight at 8p has two different elements to it, that merge well together.
The first part has Fred Savage as the host for the adult contestants. He asks the adults questions and if they guess right, they move on. If they get it wrong, they lose a money value, starting at $250,000, and it is up to the kids to save them. If the kids also get it wrong, then the adult goes home without any money.
Gervais is with a panel of 4-5 kids and he asks them the questions that was asked to the adults first, whether the senior got it right or not. The questions are pretty easy for a kid, and not as easy for an adult. But what makes it worth it is how Gervais interacts with the kids. He is a big lovable kid like them, so you cannot help but love watching him with them.
Together it all mashes well together, creating an enjoyable hour of television to end the week with. But if I am being honest, I could watch just an hour of Gervais with the kids. It is so sweet and we need to end the week on a happy note like this.
Therefore, tune in tonight and every Friday for a game show everyone can fall in love with.
Back in 1988, we fell in love with the ’60s again thanks to The Wonder Years. Now that everyone is getting a revival or a reboot, Vanity Fair asked Fred Savage if he would one based in the ’90s?
He does not mind you pitching him ideas for the reunion, but he says “No, it’s not going to happen.” Then he explained why, “You know, I’ve always said that The Wonder Years, it’s not just the name of the show—it’s a time in your life, a very special, finite time in your life. And the way the show was written, it’s about looking back with some longing. I think we all look back at that time in our lives and long for it and idealize it. One of the reasons it takes on this kind of mythic, almost haunting quality in our lives is because it’s something you can’t go back to and can’t revisit. It only exists in our memories, in our shared experiences with people who went through it with us. That’s really what the show was all about. And I think that the idea of revisiting the show mirrors that. And I like that.”
I think they could recapture that feeling again. Let us get to know the Arnold family in their future and our past. Plus, if they could revive Dan Conner for the Roseanne revival, why can’t they do the same for The Wonder Years for their patriarch. Would you watch Kevin Arnold again?
Back in the late ’80s, a girl would have loved to have seen The Wonder Years’ Kevin Arnold and the youngest member of New Kids on the Block together, but it never happened. Now nearly 30 years later, it finally happened. Joey McIntyre and Fred Savage put on some ugly Christmas sweaters and gave us this wonderful picture.
This is what Christmas is all about! Making wet dreams come true!

Fred Savage seems to the lead candidate as Michael Strahan’s replacement on Live with Kelly, so that means he has been co-hosting the show a lot. Today, he was on once again and Bizarre Foods’ Andrew Zimmer was one of the guests. The Chef wanted Kevin Arnold to taste some of the delicacies that he has tried from all over the world. They were dishes like raw goat from Japan, Gizzard Salad from the Caribbean, fried puffer fish from North Carolina, Senegalese style heart, liver and kidney of lamb and a soup with racoon meat originally from Africa. Somehow he was able to eat all of those without a problem, but the last one really got to him. That was Stinky Tofu from China that is fermented in dumpster juice. Proving it is better to be a carnivore than a vegetarian.
That and maybe he doesn’t want to co-host the show if he has to eat things like that all the time.
Since that was the last thing he ate, we didn’t get to see his whole hilarious reaction on the air. Thankfully they put that up on Instagram for us to enjoy and enjoy it you will.
