Young & Hungry is a comedy about a man and a woman who should be together, but just can’t seem to make it happen. On the first episode, Josh (Jonathan Sadowski) hired Gabi (Emily Osment) to be his personal Chef. The first night she cooked for him, they had a little too much to drink and slept together. Only problem, he’s engaged. The two of them decided to keep their relationship strictly a professional one.
As the season went on, Gabi and Josh started to grow feelings for each other, but he was getting married. She wound meeting a new guy and Josh set the date for his nuptials. Then as his big day approached, he realized he was with the wrong woman, but it was too late because Gabi left on plane with that other man.
She finally returned to San Fransisco, but she was still with that other guy who was half way around the world. Eventually, she realized she still liked Josh. But it wasn’t enough, so they continued to date other people…a lot of other people.
Then when last season ended, she was dating a new guy, Josh’s brother. But a grand gesture on Josh’s part made her re-evaluate how she felt about him. So when he showed up where she was at, she knew what she had to do. And that gets you caught up to tonight’s episode on Freeform at 8p.
Does Emily Osment want Josh and Gabi to get together and make it work? She recently told me when I visited the set, “I don’t want them to get together because I feel like it is that Rachel and Ross old tale of once they are together, the audience is satisfied and then what? Then you are just in a happy relationship and that is not good TV.” Then she added, “I think the writers are doing a very smart of job of planning when they get together, planning how long they are going to be together, what is going to tear them apart and who is going to be next. With Gabi there is always somebody, which I find very hilarious.”
Another thing she is enjoying, is the changes to the show since ABC Family became Freeform a few weeks ago. She revealed how it has changed the show, “We are pushing the limit now that we are on Freeform. The things we are able to do, the bracket has widened a little bit and we are taking that to our full advantage.” What does that mean? She said, “Well there’s a little more nudity. It’s a little more suggestive. It’s played more real.” Explaining, “If you think about it, anybody who’s dating in their 20’s and 30’s, come across a lot of topics that are sex related. I think we are kind of exploring that a little bit more. Which is funny because obviously we are a comedy and we are not going to play anything to real but the jokes that we make involving sex are pretty hysterical.”
If you thought Young & Hungry was pretty hysterical beforehand, it is even going to be even more hysterical this season. I don’t know how they are going to make this hysterical show even more hysterical, but I know that they will. That is enough of a reason to tune in.
Before Emily Osment was reading cooking books on Young & Hungry, she was writing poetry on 3rd Rock From the Sun. How awwwwdorable was the 7 year old in that 1999 episode?
Before Emily Osment was a personal chef in Young & Hungry, she was just young and hungry in The Secret Life of Girls. How awwwwwdorable was the 6 year old in that 1999 movie?
Young & Hungry makes its debut on ABC Family tonight at 8p and you don’t want to miss this delectable show.
Gabi (Emily Osment) is a food blogger who desperately wants to be a personal chef, even though she has no experience. She gets the interview of the lifetime, the chance to be a personal chef for young tech entrepreneur Josh (Jonathan Sadowski), but his right hand man (Rex Lee) wants to hire someone else. When Josh comes early, she gets the chance to cook for him. It is enough to make an impression, but not enough for her to get the job. So he tells her if she cooks a meal that gets his girlfriend say yes to his proposal, he’ll hire her. But when his girlfriend dumps him right before the big dinner, it looks like Gabi is fired before he is hired. Will she get the job anyways or is she back to food blogging only? You just have to tune in to find out.
I was seriously not expecting to like this comedy, but I was hooked by the first commercial break. I hope they pair this sitcom up with Baby Daddy because the two are a perfect match
Then at 8:30p on ABC Family, Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling are together again in Mystery Girls.
Fifteen years ago, Charlie Contour (Garth) and Holly Hamilton (Spelling) starred on the hit show Mystery Girls and since then they have gone their separate ways. Holly is still living like a celebrity, and Charlie is living life as a happy married mom in the suburbs. But one day things will totally change for them when they get a call from the police. Seems uber fan Nick (Miguel Pinzon) witnessed a crime and he won’t talk to anyone else but he Mystery Girls. So they come down to the station and realize they are still good at solving crimes even without a script. Because of that they decide to open up Mystery Girls and solve real life crimes together along with their assistant Nick.
That is what happens in the pilot that doesn’t air tonight, but I wanted to give you the back story so that you could be caught up. Tonight’s episode starts out with a false rumor that Holly is dead. Instead of telling everyone the truth, they decide to sell of her stuff and make a killing. But someone tries to sell a sex tape with her in it, so they have decide if she will tell everyone she’s alive or hold a fake a funeral. They opt for the latter and that’s when thing get really crazy.
Mystery Girls is cute in an ’90s syndicated sitcom type of way. So if you are missing those type of shows and Kelly and Donna, then you are going to heart this show.
Before Haley Joel Osment was seeing dead people in The Sixth Sense, he was seeing Big Foot for Pizza Hut. How awwwwwdorable was the 4 year old in that 1993 commercial?
