10 Favorite Pilots of the 2010s

Comments Off on 10 Favorite Pilots of the 2010s
Pilots…are tough. Shows have to introduce a world, characters, and, in theory, set up where the show will go in the first season. But when they’re done correctly? Boy, they can be magic.
As the decade comes to a close, we look back at some of our favorite pilots over the past ten years…*
AWAKE (March 1, 2012)
NBC’s midseason launch in 2012 was one of the most ambitious network swings of the decade—more on SMASH later—and AWAKE was arguably the biggest risk. Though the series ended up being short-lived, AWAKE didn’t play it safe: it followed Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs), a detective who found himself living in two realities after a devastating crash…one where his wife perished, the other where his son did. The pilot deftly handled the overlying grief, while engaging a WTF-is-going-on mystery. The always-great Isaacs was particularly great as the show’s linchpin.

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH: Tandy and Carol Attempt to Karaoke

Comments Off on THE LAST MAN ON EARTH: Tandy and Carol Attempt to Karaoke
Well, this isn’t exactly “Falling Slowly.”
In Sunday’s new episode of THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, Tandy (Will Forte) tries to get Carol (Kristen Schaal) to partake in a little bit of karaoke with him. (REO Speedwagon’s “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” naturally.)
Unfortunately, in the exclusive clip below, Carol isn’t as into things as Tandy’s brother Mike (Jason Sudeikis)—who is still adjusting back to life with other humans—was, much to Tandy’s chagrin. “That’s where you’re supposed to start,” Tandy tells his wife when she lets the words pass by without singing along.
“Oh. Sorry,” Carol replies. “I was just distracted by the beautiful word highlighting.” And when she gives it an official try, things go awry. (Yes, Carol is too pure for this world.)
Check out a clip of a very LAST MAN ON EARTH karaoke!

Comments Off on THE LAST MAN ON EARTH Exclusive Video: Tandy Seduces Carol
Ah, romance.
In this Sunday’s episode of THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, Tandy (Will Forte) and Carol (Kristen Schaal) get their first real opportunity to have couple time (or, um, “release the hounds”) since they had their twins.
But naturally, Tandy doesn’t simply light candles or put on sexy music to seduce his wife…he goes all out. With the babies’ ears safely guarded (why scar the kids this early in life?), Tandy puts on a show for Carol—complete with a sexy dance, fedora, long nightshirt, and a very thorough body cleaning.
Check out the sequence in this exclusive clip from “Release the Hounds”…

Exclusive Video: Fox Celebrates Sunday Night MVP Kristen Schaal with New Promo

Comments Off on Exclusive Video: Fox Celebrates Sunday Night MVP Kristen Schaal with New Promo
Kristen Schaal is quietly the Sunday night MVP on Fox.
Schaal’s long-running animated series, BOB’S BURGERS — which just got renewed for two more seasons — kicks off the night at 7:30. (She plays the youngest daughter, Louise Belcher.) And the sophomore season of Schaal’s live-action series, THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, closes out Fox’s Sunday night at 9:30 PM, where Schaal plays Carol, the delightfully quirky wife of Will Forte’s Phil.
And, if you’ve seen either/both shows, you know that Schaal is pretty amazing in both roles.
Check out a fun little promo spot Fox made to celebrate Schaal!

Comments Off on About Last Night…ONCE UPON A TIME, THE GOOD WIFE, THE STRAIN, and More
Sunday. Night. TV. Is. Insane.
Honestly, I don’t know how people who don’t do this as a career survive Sunday nights. I had nine shows I watched on Sunday night, and there are still a few I have to catch up on/I had screeners for about half of these. These are high-class problems, but man, what a huge amount of TV for us to discuss.
Let’s get to it, with an extra warning that there are spoilers in here — between a finale and a big unannounced cameo on a certain Fox comedy, there are spoilers in here for a good number of Sunday shows…

ABC and Fox launched their Sunday lineups this week, so a lot of TV went down. (And that’s not even including Showtime’s finales…and I’m, sadly, woefully behind on both MASTERS OF SEX and RAY DONOVAN.)

Comments Off on THE LAST MAN ON EARTH: Chris Miller Previews Season 2
THE LAST MAN ON EARTH’s central couple — Phil and Carol — left Tucson at the end of last season as Phil was exiled by the residents, and Carol opted to go with him.
“There’s obviously a new dynamic between the two of them, and they’re trying to make it work,” THE LAST MAN ON EARTH executive producer Chris Miller shared. “I think you saw Phil hit his rock bottom last season, so now you’re getting the chance to see a Phil who isn’t a different guy, but the difference is he’s trying to be a better person. Where in the first season, he wasn’t trying; he would try for a little bit, and then then go now.”
The exile will also allow the series to expand in its sophomore year.

Phil and Carol left Tuscon to get a fresh start at the end of THE LAST MAN ON EARTH’s first season. And while the first few photos of the new season don’t show a whole lot of where the duo end up, there’s a “Kraft Korner” which could either be promising or Phil’s worst nightmare.
