Comments Off on RAISING HOPE Boss Greg Garcia: A Wedding for Jimmy and Sabrina is ‘Definitely on the Horizon’
With Jimmy and Sabrina’s relationship showing no sign of slowing down on RAISING HOPE, the looming question is now when they’re going to tie the knot.
“We’ve been talking about a wedding and when to do it.,” RAISING HOPE creator Greg Garcia told me. “But it’s definitely on the horizon.”
“There’s a lot of pressure on a wedding episode, you know?” he added. “We do have an idea for a wedding episode we’re working on now that could be a lot of fun, both in the stuff that happens in the wedding and the style in which we shoot it. We have a bit of a gimmick we might do that makes me laugh, so look out for that.”

Fox Changes Schedule for October 23rd: X FACTOR, RAISING HOPE, BEN AND KATE, and NEW GIRL to All Air

Comments Off on Fox Changes Schedule for October 23rd: X FACTOR, RAISING HOPE, BEN AND KATE, and NEW GIRL to All Air
Fox has changed their lineup for Tuesday, October 23rd again.
Originally, the comedy block (RAISING HOPE, BEN AND KATE, NEW GIRL, and THE MINDY PROJECT) were set to air there as normal. Then MLB’s rain delay screwed up Wednesday’s THE X FACTOR show, and the two-hour episode was set to air in the comedy series’ place. But now, Fox will air RAISING HOPE, BEN AND KATE, and NEW GIRL in their normal spots, and then air an edited one-hour version of THE X FACTOR episode that was skipped from 9:30-10:30 PM.
Are you OK with this revised schedule? Or do you wish Fox had just pre-empted the night completely and left THE X FACTOR in its original two-hour episode?

COMMUNITY is Back on October 19th…But Not Really. Cue Troy & Abed!

Comments Off on COMMUNITY is Back on October 19th…But Not Really. Cue Troy & Abed!
October 19th. It’s not just a date…it’s a state of mind.
Today was supposed to be the fourth season premiere of NBC’s COMMUNITY. Unfortunately, NBC pulled the show from the schedule and hasn’t yet announced a new premiere date. The show has not been cancelled, but NBC still hasn’t found a home for it yet. Speculation remains that the network is waiting for one of their other new shows to fail at which time they can back fill that time slot with new episode of COMMUNITY. (And one wonders why NBC has struggled so mightily over the past few years.)
So we might not be getting a new episode of COMMUNITY tonight, but we did get a new episode of “Troy and Abed in the Morning”. Let these two dazzling hosts explain that October 19th might not be October 19th, but at the end of the day, it’s October 19th.
Just watch…

Take a look at all your other options…

Elsewhere, Monroe continues to manage the spice shop and gets a visit from an unlikely customer.

Their first mission under the new regime is to bring in “The Dirty Thirty,” the rogue agents who failed to respond to the Division recall after Percy was killed.

Alex reprises her alter ego, the spoiled Russian princess Alexandra Udinov, in a very unique way as part of the plan to spring Michael.

NBC Pulls ANIMAL PRACTICE; WHITNEY to Return November 14th
October 18, 2012 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, Animal Practice, NBC, Whitney
And we have NBC’s first casualty — the network just announced that effective on November 14th, returning comedy WHITNEY will take over ANIMAL PRACTICE’s Wednesday at 8 PM slot.
This leaves GUYS WITH KIDS as the lone NBC fall comedy with its fate still up in the air. (The network’s remaining new drama, CHICAGO FIRE, premiered last week and is still TBD.) It also leaves COMMUNITY as the remaining returning show without a spot on the schedule. (But, given how hard it has been to get eyes on NBC on Wednesday, not having to take over ANIMAL PRACTICE’s spot may be a blessing in disguise for COMMUNITY.)
Are you sad to lose ANIMAL PRACTICE? Happy to get WHITNEY back? Still waiting for COMMUNITY’s return to be announced?

MLB Rain Delay Pushes THE X FACTOR’s ‘Judges’ Homes’ to October 23rd, Tuesday Comedy Lineup Preempted
October 17, 2012 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, The X Factor, TV News
If you tried to watch THE X FACTOR tonight, chances are you were a bit perplexed by what went down.
Thanks to a rain delay, the National League Championship Series game caused more than a little bit of chaos on Fox’s schedule. At first, the network chose to air a rerun of the BEN AND KATE pilot at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, perhaps hoping the rain delay would be brief and they could resume the game and then air THE X FACTOR as had been scheduled. Then they put on THE X FACTOR after BEN AND KATE concluded. But when the NLCS game was ready to resume, Fox switched over to a rerun of THE MINDY PROJECT, confusing fans and causing some crazy Twitter reactions.
Now, you’re going to have to wait several days to get the episode’s proper conclusion — Fox has officially announced tonight’s THE X FACTOR episode will air Tuesday, October 23rd at 8 PM. The bad news? That means the entire Tuesday comedy block will be preempted for the night. And since all four comedies are set to air Halloween specials on October 30th, no word on when the displaced episodes will air.
Are you frustrated by THE X FACTOR’s scheduling tonight? Or are you just happy you’ll see the episode in full next week?
