‘Swingtown’s Molly Parker Joins HBO Pilot

Today brings good news for TV viewers who loved CBS’ canceled 1970s-era drama Swingtown and only wish the best for the show’s cast now that the series is kaput. Star Molly Parker, also known as sweet Susan Miller to us incurable TV swingers, has been added to the cast of HBO’s forthcoming pilot The Wonderful Maladys.
The potential series is attracting lots of attention in large part because it stars Buffy the Vampire Slayer alumna Sarah Michelle Gellar. A comedy, the New York-based show follows the (mis)adventures of three parentless siblings who have one of those always interesting dysfunctional …read more

‘Fringe’ and ‘True Blood’ Heading to Paley Festival

Fringe and True Blood got Paley!
It won’t officially announce the complete lineup until February 18, but Variety reports the Paley Center for Media has already selected two definite shoo-ins for the upcoming crowd-pleasing Paley Festival: Fox’s Anna Torv-led Fringe and HBO’s Golden Globe-winning Anna Paquin-led True Blood.
Besides intelligent and talented female stars with the same first name, the rookie shows have another thing in common: they’ve each done a fantastic job building a large, loyal fan base, which is why both were quickly picked up for full first seasons.
The popular Paley Festival allows cast and crew members of television series …read more

New Sarah Michelle Gellar Series Ain’t No ‘Buffy’

And, why would it be? Sarah Michelle Gellar, better known to legions of TV viewers as Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Buffy Summers, has already been there and done that.
Variety reports the much-adored actress has a new half-hour TV gig underway in the form of an HBO series called The Wonderful Maladys. With a description that sounds more like a quirky, adult, family-focused program than a fandom-worthy exercise in massive creativity geared towards the young(er) set, Gellar’s upcoming New York-based series might take some convincing to get loyal followers of her signature show to sign up.
The ensemble offering from …read more

Linda Stasi’s Bloody Good Review of ‘True Blood’

New York Post TV columnist Linda Stasi, a regular read for me, recently wrote a review of HBO’s new Southern-fried vampire series True Blood that is simply too funny, not to mention quite unflattering. She gives the show a rating of 1.5 stars out of a possible 4 and explains why with “biting” observations like:

What would happen if vampires no longer needed to suck human blood because they could pop into the 7/11 and buy a six pack of synthetic blood whenever they were Jonesing for a bite?
If HBO’s new vampire show is any indication, there would still be …read more

‘Sex and the City’ Pink-Carpet U.S. Premiere in New York

And what a lovely shade of pink it was, too! Not that pastel hue that shows every speck of dirt, and not a bold fuchsia capable of inducing headaches. The lovely ladies who star in the hotly anticipated film version of the beloved HBO comedy series Sex and the City — Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Jennifer Hudson, Cynthia Nixon, and Sarah Jessica Parker — strolled a carpet shaded a gorgeous, intense, and posh pink, befitting the gorgeous, intense, and posh actresses themselves.
The occasion was Tuesday’s U.S. premiere of Sex and the City: The Movie in New York, the …read more

Three More ‘Sex and the City’ Movie Clips

More footage from Sex and the City: The Movie hit the Internet this week in the form of several short YouTube clips.
In the first one, Carrie breaks some pretty big news during a lunch date with her gal pals Charlotte and Miranda, and Charlotte seems happier than anybody else could possibly ever be.
The second clip features the same three friends taking a stroll outside, raising the question, “When in the world is Samantha going to get there?!”
There’s no relief in the third clip either, which focuses on Carrie and her assistant Louise, played by Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson.
All three clips …read more

Tepid Reviews So Far for ‘Sex and the City’

Tepid Reviews So Far for ‘Sex and the City’

It probably makes no difference what pro critics say — countless fans are going to show up on or shortly after the May 30 U.S. premiere date anyhoo. But, still, the advance reviews for the forthcoming film version of the hit HBO sitcom Sex and the City are underwhelming, to say the least.
Writes Variety: “Best in its small moments, the movie should find receptive gal pals congregating for the mother of all viewing parties, but appeal beyond that core should present New Line with less of a storybook finish than it doubtless would like.”
Writes The Hollywood Reporter: “In need …read more
