'Friends' Reunion Not Happening, Because of Course It Isn't

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 08:40:35 +0000

Understandably, 2013 has become a banner year for TV reunion in that 'Arrested Development' will finally dish out Netflix's revival season on May 26, while even the dormant 'Veronica Mars' got its act together for a fan-funded feature film, but the latest rumors have little merit, despite their long reach. Sources lacking credibility yesterday spread news of a 'Friends' reunion season, but despite the rumor's prevalence, no such thing will likely ever take place. Find out why inside!

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 19:00:33 +0000

The future of late night could look very different in a few years, if rumors of Jay Leno's retirement and Jimmy Fallon's ascension as host of a New York-based 'Tonight Show' prove true. And while both the 'Tonight Show' and 'Late Night' hosts have taken a few playful jabs at NBC and the rumors, April Fools gave the pair their best spotlight yet, performing a lip-synced duet of "Tonight, Tonight" in between the shows. Have a look inside!

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:00:58 +0000

While our beloved '30 Rock' will come to a close on January 31, we shan't forget that 2013 will also see the final episodes of 'The Office' airing this May. And while much has been said about the final hours of the Dunder-Mifflin crew, from returning guests to unraveling the mystery behind the documentary team, the cast and crew recently took to the TCA tour to preview the series end, including several returning cast members (and several still not). Find out the latest on the 'Office' series finale inside!

'Wonder Woman' TV Series "Still Viable," Says David E. Kelley

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:05:18 +0000

Before we were assured of her big-screen 'Justice League' debut on 2015, Wonder Woman has had a hell of a time getting back into live-action. Not only did the multiple movie plans fall apart, but David E. Kelley's big-budget pilot for an NBC TV series was practically laughed into cancellation. Now, even as The CW eyes its own gritty 'Wonder Woman' reboot to follow through on the success of 'Arrow,' failed TV pilot creator Kelley believes the idea could still work on TV. Does Wonder Woman really have a future on the small screen?

'Freaks and Geeks' Then and Now: The All-Star Cast Reunites After 12 Years

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:02:17 +0000

Many classic but cancelled series hold the distinction of featuring a number of A-list stars before making their big breaks, but few hold such a distinguished roster as Judd Apatow's cancelled 2000 NBC series 'Freaks and Geeks.' The retro series featured the likes of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, Lizzy Caplan, Busy Philipps, Martin Starr and even Thomas Wilson (Biff of 'Back to the Future'), despite only running 18 episodes. Twelve years later, are you ready to see the entire cast reunite?

Is 'Seinfeld' Really the Greatest Sitcom of All Time?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 15:56:19 +0000

The sitcom is, and always shall be, an ever-changing art. There exists no perfect formula for success between various three-camera and single-camera efforts over the years. While some may bemoan the heightened situations and laugh tracks of a three-camera outing like the modern 'Big Bang Theory,' others remember how 'Cheers' and 'Seinfeld' among others perfected the format. So according to a recent '60 Minutes' poll, what's the greatest sitcom of all time? Is it as funny as a bag of airline peanuts?

NBC Skips 9/11 "Moment of Silence" for Kardashian Interview

Nick Romano — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 20:37:43 +0000

As if we needed another reason to hate the Kardashians...

At 8:46 a.m. on Tuesday, September 11, most national news outlets took a break from their regular programming to air a special "moment of silence" from New York City and Washington D.C. to honor the victims of 9/11. We say "most" because, as it turns out, not everyone was a participant. While FOX, CBS, ABC, CNBC and MSNBC went quiet at this time, which was the moment 11 years ago when the first plane hit the Twin Towers, NBC continued on with the 'Today' show, which just so happened to feature an interview with Kris Jenner of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.'

Our Top 10 Favorite Alec Baldwin SNL Skits

Jack FM Staff — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:12:18 +0000

From a psycho obsessed killer in The Juror to a smooth pompous ex-husband in It's Complicated, it is clear Alec Baldwin can adapt to any role. Even if it's an adaptation of Clifford Odets' 'The Big Knife', which he performs tonight at UB's Center for the Arts. But forget that crap. Baldwin is at his best on Saturday Night Live on NBC , where he really gets to show his versatility. Isn't that right Canteen Boy?

NBC Cancels 'The Playboy Club'

Shauna Wright — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:00:40 +0000

After just three episodes, NBC has canceled its new drama ‘The Playboy Club.’

The sexy show, which was set in a 1960s-era Chicago and starred Eddie Cibrian, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Naturi Naughton, was besieged even before its first airing. It earned a boycott from the Parents Television Council and public scorn from feminist icon Gloria Steinem, both of whom claimed the program objectified and degraded women.
