Peter Gallagher is such a stud; he keeps landing the women in Ted Danson’s life.
First, Gallagher played Mary Steenburgen’s husband in Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and her ex-husband on Grace & Frankie. As we know, Steenburgen is married to Danson in real life.
If that is not bad enough, Gallager is even taking Danson’s fake girlfriends too. Danson is single on Mr. Mayor, and yesterday he finally went on a date, and it was with Fran Drescher. When he went to find out why she didn’t return his text, he discovered she was busy having sex with Gallagher.
If I were Larry David, I would cast Gallager as Danson’s lover on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Gallagher can claim that he kept hooking up with Danson’s women on camera because he has secretly been infatuated with him, and the feeling was mutual.
Last season, several doctors checked out some of the medical dramas they were on. Their departure makes room for new medical professionals.
Over in Seattle on Grey’s Anatomy, Peter Gallagher checks in as Dr. Alan Hamilton, who knew Ellis Grey (Kate Burton) back in the day, according to Variety. It sounds like now we know how they are going to incorporate the late Ellis Grey back into the series.
Meanwhile, over on the other side of the country in Manhattan, New Amsterdam is getting a new surgeon. Sandra Mae Frank is playing Dr. Elizabeth Wilder, a deaf surgeon. Like her character, Frank is also hearing-impaired.
We will see both actors debut in the season premieres of their series. The ABC drama returns on September 30th, and the NBC one is back on the 21st.
When you ask people, who is one of the greatest TV dads of all time, they will mention Sandy Cohen from The O.C. So is Peter Gallagher just like the dad he played for four years on Fox?
His real-life daughter, Kathryn Gallagher, gave us a glimpse of what he is like at home with her. And the answer is yes, he is totally Sandy Cohen! He even schmeared it on extra thick in her TikTok.
Sandy, I mean, Peter, if you want to adopt me, I am adoptable. I am a girl from The Bronx who loves cream cheese on bagels and Chrismukkah.

It has been a month since NBC was supposed to announce their lineup for the 2020-2021 season, but they haven’t announced it yet because everything is up in the air because of the coronavirus pandemic. Several of their shows were left waiting to find out if they would still have a home on the network.
Good Girls was told they things are still good with the bad girls. The fat lady sang for Perfect Harmony. The Bone Collector killed Lincoln Rhyme. Manifest is still not sure if it crashed and burned or if it will land safely on their schedule. Indebted is waiting to find out if they indebted to NBC.
Finally, there is Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. Did the music die for last season’s best new show? NOPE! They will be around to sing for another day, which is a good thing for the peacock network. If they had silenced their actors’ voices, then we would have gone nuts. As in found something to send them like when we sent CBS peanuts to save Jericho. We could have sent them cereal because of the cereal bar that is at her office. But we don’t have to do that because the series is coming back!
If you missed out on the musical dramedy when it aired, I highly suggest you watch it now on NBC’s app, OnDemand or Hulu. ZEP is about workaholic programmer Zoey (Jane Levy) whose life changes while she is stuck in an MRI machine during an earthquake. When Zoey gets out of it, she now has the ability to hear people’s heart songs. As in, she is the only one who can see them sing and dance. Something that seems like a curse to her, and a dream come true for us viewers.
ZEP also stars Skylar Astin, Alex Newell, John Clarence Stewart, Peter Gallagher(?), Mary Steenburgen, and Lauren Graham.
Now I am off to watch to some more of the amazing song and dance numbers from the first season like the above one that was shot in one take. You read that right, the finale, not the swan song, was done in one take. Now you know you want to see more, don’t you?
I just want to know if we should be reading too much into her five last words of the season, “They day the music died.”
The episode starts off with Zoey (Jane Levy) singing Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Bad Moon Rising, and now she wants to know what it means? Does it have anything to do with her BFF Max (Skylar Astin) getting fired from his job? Is Joan (Lauren Graham) getting fired over the failed bake-off for Chirp? Did something happen to Simon (John Clarence Stewart), who went to his estranged mother’s wedding in Las Vegas? What about Mo (Alex Newell), who is not taking their breakup very well? Is there something wrong with her brother David (Andrew Leeds) and Emily’s (Alice Lee) baby? And then there is her dad (Peter Gallagher) who is in the final stages of his life?
Just when you think you know what is going to happen, they find a way to surprise. The one thing that won’t surprise you is how well they tug are your heartstrings. Thus, why you need the tissues.
Tonight’s episode a nice tribute to a great season of television. We need more shows like it on the air. Enough procedurals, why can’t a drama be a feel-good one.
One spoiler note, the season ends with a finale number that includes the whole cast.
