Golden Globes for Comedies

by Ronald A. Rowe on January 20th, 2012 | Comedy, TV News
The Golden Globe awards really accentuate the seismic shift in the television landscape over the last decade. Many of the television shows up for the various awards came from premium networks that were once known solely for broadcasting movies, such as HBO and Showtime.

Of the five shows nominated for Best Comedy or Musical, one was from HBO (Enlightened), one was from Showtime (Episodes), two were on Fox (Glee and New Girl), and one – the winner – was on ABC (Modern Family). Of the five nominees, two were on premium networks, which is two more than NBC and CBS Read More

Angry Boys Update

by Kaitlin on January 11th, 2012 | Comedy
We're two weeks in with HBO's new comedy series, Angry Boys, and so far, so good. I need to keep reminding myself that it is not Summer Heights High, and although there are similarities (as to be expected with the same creative team and similar concept), it is a completely different show that is exploring a completely different theme.

After four half-hour episodes (two last week and two this past Sunday), we've finally been introduced to all six of Chris Lilley's characters. As luck would have it (and perhaps deliberately to keep viewers watching), the character I was most looking Read More

Jessie

by Ronald A. Rowe on January 2nd, 2012 | Children's TV, Comedy
Disney’s new Tween comedy, Jessie, may be the single worst show I have ever seen. Really – ever. And bear in mind that I’m old enough to remember Hello, Larry.

Jessie is essentially a platform for Disney to showcase its Next Big Thing, that thing being series star Debby Ryan – who just so happens to be an adorable and highly marketable pop singer. The titular character is a young woman from Texas moving to New York City and working as the nanny for the children of two self-obsessed, obnoxiously vain parents. Her charges include the couple’s one biological and Read More

Web Series: Originals

by Jaclyn Abergas on December 30th, 2011 | Comedy, Web Series
From the writers of The Office and Life Unjarred comes a new web series that wants to be original but is having trouble defining it. Writers Anthony Q. Farrell and Brett Heard have teamed up with director Rob Quartly to deliver a new comedy web series completely lacking any originality, Originals.

Sponsored by McDonald's Canada, Originals stars Paul Beer, as Jason, and Nile Seguin, as Bryce. Jason is the producer of a new comedy web series that Bryce will be writing. And they've scored the opportunity to pitch it to TV network executives. There's only one problem, they don't have Read More
