Get Ready to Rock with ‘Rita’
Lifetime has posted a slew of previews for its forthcoming original comedy Rita Rocks.
The series premieres next Monday, October 20, and stars The King of Queens alumna Nicole Sullivan as the title Rita Clements. Rita appears to have a great life, complete with a husband, a job, and two daughters. But, underneath the surface, she’s craving something more. Rita’s life needs some rejuvenation, which is why she decides to act upon her youthful dreams and start a garage band with a group of friends her age.
This premise has the potential to be lots of fun, especially with a cast that includes the talent of Richard Ruccolo (Joey, Two Guys and a Girl) as Rita’s husband Jay; Tisha Campbell-Martin (My Wife and Kids, Martin) as post office worker and fellow band member Patty; and Ian Gomez (Jake in Progress, The Drew Carey Show) as out-of-work neighbor and other fellow band member Owen.
The early post-premiere schedule for Rita Rocks is absolutely crazy, too. After the show debuts on October 20 at 8:30pm EST, it will air fresh episodes every weeknight at the same time, for a total of five new installments. Then, the following week, the series will settle into its regular 8:30pm, Tuesday-night time slot for the remainder of the first season’s thirteen episodes.
Follow the jump to check out not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but six — count ‘em! — previews for the sitcom. They’re short, but they add up.
