Before there was Saturday Night Live, there was National Lampoon. Several of the people who worked with the National Lampoon, went on to SNL. A Futile and Stupid Gesture is the story of the people behind the magazine that changed comedy forever with their magazine and their films.
Will Forte leads the wacky group of people who made the ’70s even funnier. Plus, who doesn’t want to see how Joel McHale plays his former co-star Chevy Chase. That has to be an Oscar worthy performance if I ever heard one.
Therefore mark your calendars for January 26th because that is when retro humor will be current again.
After a month and a half of waiting, House of Cards fans finally found out the fate of their show. Kevin Spacey is still out and this will be the show’s final season.
That is not all that was confirmed today by Ted Sarandos, the chief content officer of Netflix, he revealed that the sixth season will only be 8 episodes instead of the normal 13, Robin Wright will be back for the final 8 and it will start production next year according to The LA Times.
What we don’t know is if the three episodes that Spacey filmed before he was fired for alleged sexual misconduct on the show will be part of the 8 and how they will handle his absence. My gut says that they will not air those 3 episodes and they will kill him off like they did in the book.
Are you OK with seeing House of Cards going on without him or do you think they should just have ended the show with season five?
Not much is known about Arrested Development’s 5th season, except that Netflix will be airing it soon. Well, today Ron Howard gave us an update, and he will once again go from being the voice of the show to being in front of the camera for a few scenes. And to makes those scenes even better, he says, “yes, I will be narrating myself!” Double the fun.
It is always nice to Opie Cunnignham in front of the camera. I wish the Oscar winner would do it more often. Don’t you?
Josh Groban is going to do something he has never done before. The singer is going to co-star in a series and not just be a guest star on one. The Tony nominee will play Tony Danza’s son named Tony in a Netflix show called, Tony, no wait, it is actually called The Good Cop. It just seemed like a logical name since everyone else is going by Tony including Tony Danza.
Anyways, Netflix describes his character Tony Jr as, “an earnest, obsessively honest NYPD detective who makes a point of always following the rules. Tony Jr is son to Tony Sr, a disgraced, former NYPD officer who never followed the rules, played by Tony Danza. In The Good Cop, a new 10 episode one-hour dramedy series, this ‘odd couple’ become unofficial partners as Tony Sr offers his overly cautious son blunt, street-wise advice on everything from handling suspects to handling women.”
I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait for this show to debut next year because Danza has been a favorite of mine ever since I saw him in a little show called Taxi when I was kid. When it comes to the Groobs, it will be interesting to see him in comedic role on episodic series. He proved he has the chops for it on The Crazy Ones and Ally McBeal.
No word if he will sing on the show, but I am sure they will find a way to make that happen. It seems to be mandatory because he always manages to get a note in there in some way like on this past Friday’s Crazy Ex Girlfriend. Shh, don’t tell anyone that is a musical show. Sadly, this one is not.
UPDATE: Groban seemed to hint on Twitter that he will have to shave his beard for the part. Which is a good thing because it will make the two actors look more like father and son. They have the same eyes, so it will be nice to see if they also have the same cheeks and chins. That and I hate beards.
Back in the ’80s everyone loved Perfect Strangers’ Cousin Larry and Balki. Now in 2017, everyone is in love with the ’80s all over again thanks to Stranger Things. Therefore, Jimmy Kimmel Live decided to mash up the two for Perfect Stranger Things!
Mark Linn-Baker and Bronson Pinchot reprised their roles and added a new roommate for Netflix’s newest sitcom. Because everything old is new again these days. Therefore, keeping the old and adding Demogorgon makes it all new. As long as the Demogorgon doesn’t take off his mask because he is much uglier without it. Yikes.
Now that we have gotten to know Perfect Stranger Things, I cannot wait Full House of Cards with Bob Saget as the lead.
