'The Office' Final Season: Is Steve Carell "Unlikely" to Return?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:30:46 +0000

While everyone has their own opinion of the direction NBC's 'The Office' has taken in the years without Steve Carell, as the series approaches its final swan song most would agree any finale would feel incomplete without Carell's character Michael Scott returning for one final "that's what she said." So while we move closer to 'The Office's ninth season and series finale, will Steve Carell return? NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt has an answer that might surprise you, so check out the new details inside!

'The Office' Final Season: 'The Farm' Spin-Off Will Air as Modified Episode

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 09:10:53 +0000

Though we've known for some time that the current season of 'The Office' would represent the final year for Jim, Pam and the other Dunder-Mifflin crew, some months ago development began on the Dwight Schrute spin-off 'The Farm,' to be aired as a backdoor pilot in 'The Office's final season. Somewhat sparingly, NBC decided not to go through with the Schrute-centric spin-off, but what of the material shot? New reports say NBC plans to give a fitting end to Dwight Schrute, using a modified version of 'The Farm' to do so. Find out the changes inside!

Don't Worry, Dane Cook Still Getting His Own NBC Series

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:15:21 +0000

Love him or hate him, reactions certainly ran the gamut when NBC announced that it had partnered for a single-camera sitcom featuring controversial comedian Dane Cook as the acerbic radio host of 'Next Caller.' Initially picked up to series, NBC reportedly changed their minds about the series after shooting four episodes, pulling the plug on production, but Cook seems to have found yet another home. The "Harmful if Swallowed" comedian has put into development a new starring series with the network, but what can fans expect from Dane Cook this time?

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

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 04:56:19 +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?

'The Office's Rainn Wilson Parodies Angus T. Jones' 'Two and a Half Men' Rant

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 10:30:48 +0000

The shock of 'Two and a Half Men' star Angus T. Jones' religious rant against the series likely won't die down for a good long while, but it seems Hollywood itself has already taken aim at skewering the young actor. Hilariously, Thursday ratings rival 'The Office' has taken one of the first jabs at Jones, enlisting stars Rainn Wilson and Craig Robinson to re-enact the bizarre video. Are you ready for 'The Office' to get filthy?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 07:30:02 +0000

With 'Lincoln' set to sweep the awards, and every historical figure this side of Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci being reimagined as crime-fighting sexy action heroes, sooner or later these things were bound to meet in the middle. Next up for the untold story angle, courtesy of NBC and director Barry Levinson is...is America's first president himself, George Washington! But will 'George Washington' re-imagine the man for modern audiences, or stick to the real story?

What's The Big 'Mockingbird Lane' Twist That's Totally Irrelevant Now?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 06:45:52 +0000

We have to admit, we're fairly disappointed that NBC and Bryan Fuller's 'Munsters' reboot 'Mockingbird Lane' isn't likely to continue beyond its special Halloween airing of the show's pilot. Campy and re-hashing a premise though it might have seemed to begin with, once NBC released the first full photos and even a trailer we started to see how the tone actually seemed to work for the series. So while October 26 will see the pilot airing and likely closing out the show's run, what twist do new photos introduce for the series going forward?

NBC Renews 'The Voice' for Fifth and Sixth Seasons

Nick Romano — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 01:36:51 +0000

Although NBC's hit competitive reality talent show 'The Voice' didn't win any Emmys this year, losing the award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Show to CBS's 'Amazing Race,' at least it was nominated. And it doesn't mean the Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton-coached series lacks a decent fan base. It doesn't, and the recent announcement from NBC that 'The Voice' is getting renewed for both a fifth and sixth season is proof of that.

Chevy Chase Still Hates 'Community,' Calls Sitcom the "Lowest Form of Television"

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 10:30:58 +0000

For years now, many have lauded the Emmys as a predictable ceremony, including Jon Stewart last night, but one thing that certainly didn't surprise us was the lack of acknowledgement for 'Community,' in particular its outspoken star Chevy Chase. Over the last year we've heard Chase take potshots at everything from the series to departing showrunner Dan Harmon, but with Harmon gone and 'Community' possibly heading into its last season, what new bile does Chase have for the show?

'Smash' Star Katharine McPhee Goes Country With 'Redneck Woman' Cover

Brittany Joy Cooper — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 13:55:13 +0000

NBC’s hit musical drama ‘Smash’ tells the story of what it takes to make it in a Broadway show, and while country music is in a different genre altogether, the show and its stars have been giving some pretty big nods to the sound. Last Monday (Feb. 13), we saw actress Megan Hilty’s character Ivy offer up a slowed-down cover of Carrie Underwood‘s ‘Crazy Dreams.’ Tonight, according to mjsbigblog, we can expect to see another star performing a karaoke version of Gretchen Wilson‘s ‘Redneck Woman.’
