Lisa Kudrow has reportedly signed on to guest star alongside pal Courteney Cox on ABC’s Cougar Town..
“She’ll play a dermatologist that my character can’t stop going to even though [she's] mean to me,” Cox told tvguidemagazine.com.
The mini Friends reunion episode will shoot next month and air in early 2010.
The smart but soft-centred sitcom hits the spot in an all-new episode. Hilarity ensues during bonding sessions between unlikely pairings.
Phil insists that he’s “total buds” with his father-in-law, but realises that they could be closer: “He’s not a talker or a hugger… He once ran over my foot with his car.” After comparing their camaraderie to silverbacks in the jungle, Phil clears some space in his diary to spend quality time with Jay. In a trip that involves a model airplane and “threading the needle”, their relationship doesn’t exactly take flight…
She’s got the chance to go back and do it all over again…
Back in high school, Erica thought she’d grow up, meet ‘the’ guy, get ‘the’ career, have a couple of beautiful, talented children and ride off into the sunset. But somehow, it never happened. Now she has the chance of a lifetime. After a series of mishaps, she finds herself in hospital where she meets the mysterious Dr Tom – a therapist who seems to know a lot about her.
NBC has handed a full-season order to medical drama Mercy, Community and returning show Parks & Recreation.
“We are very pleased with the critical and audience reaction to our wonderful new comedy Community,” said NBC entertainment president Angela Bromstad. “The cast and producers are delivering a first-rate, quality show that is very promising as the newest of NBC’s first-rate Thursday night comedies.”
I don’t know how I’ve managed to miss the previous series of The Thick of It, but I’ve employed someone to kick me up the backside for it. Just twice a day – it’s a part time position – but enough to remind me that TV critics need to be more on the ball.
However, having now watched the opener of the new series on Saturday night, the DVDs of episodes gone will be on my Christmas list.
And perhaps it’s not the worst thing in the world that I came at it with ‘new’ eyes because of course that way, I can’t mourn the passing of some of the characters but can celebrate the introduction of Nicola Murray – giftedly played by Rebecca Front. Read more & comment »
This week’s fix focuses on the troubles and travails of fatherhood: what makes a good dad? Phil, who comes with a cringe caution, teaches his son to take responsibility by buying him a new bike. When his son appears to disappoint, Phil’s decision to teach him a lesson backfires spectacularly. Meanwhile, Jay’s bonding session with Manny isn’t successful. The naive youngster butts heads with his curmudgeonly stepdad and compares his real father to Superman. But Jay can only find one similarity: “They both landed in this country illegally”. When Manny is stood up on a trip to Disneyland, Jay proves that “ninety percent of being a dad is just showing up…”
No Dollhouse hasn’t been cancelled (yet) but Joss Whedon has admitted that he will be directing an episode of Glee in the upcoming season.
Glee boss Ryan Murphy gushed:

The following is an excerpt from Whedon’s post on the fan site Whedonesque:

I was expecting great things from this new US sitcom on Sky1, particularly given that it’s from the stable that produced long running and genuinely funny horse Frasier, and while I wasn’t terribly disappointed, I wasn’t terribly amused either.
It’s filmed documentary/mockumentary style – as per The Office – and it worked on many levels, as did the chemistry between the cast, but if I was pressed to summarise the show in one word, that word would be ‘mediocre’.
It was however good to see Ed O’Neill again who I did used to laugh out loud to when he was in Married With Children, and he still had some good comedic lines, but none that were uproarious. Read more & comment »
To celebrate the launch of of the new US sitcom Modern Family, Sky1 commission a survey about what a modern family really looks like.
The poll garnered some fascinating observations on today’s nuclear family with 29% of all those polled voting The Beckhams the best representation of today’s ‘Modern Family’, beating Homer, Bart and the dysfunctional Simpsons family by just 1% of the vote.
You might have missed it, but someone told the interweb that Zach Braff was dead. You might have missed it but his Mum didn’t and she was worried by the news that her son had died from an overdose of prescription pills.
Modern Family, a brand new US series celebrating the freaky, frenetic and funny side of family life has arrived.
Teamed with The Simpsons, this skewed sitcom provides giggles and guffaws as part of Sky1 HD’s comedy hour on Thursday nights.
It’s a great week on TV again this coming week, with loads of classic films, new series and the return of some old favourites, so here are our recommendations for the next seven days viewing… Read more & comment »
