TV Land Fall 2017 Has Mom; Amazon to Reboot Starsky & Hutch
Mom is coming to TV Land. Mom, the sitcom, that is. The CBS sitcom, which is entering its 5th season this fall, is also entering broadcast syndication this fall. The series will begin on Monday, Sept. 18 on both local broadcast syndication and TV Land. Three years ago, TBS aired Mom for a month, but there is no word if TBS will make a play for actual cable syndication. TV Land will air the Anna Faris/Allison Janney sitcom every night at 10pm & 10:30pm and weeknights at 1:00am & 1:30am (on Fridays it will be extended from 1am-4am). The primetime airings will follow Everybody Loves Raymond (8-10pm) and the late night airings will follow The King of Queens (11pm-1am). Both hours replace an hour of Raymond.
In this sitcom from Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly), life hasn't been easy for Christy Plunkett (Anna Faris), but now she's newly sober and trying to mend fences with her mother, Bonnie (Emmy® winner Allison Janney) – and at least one of those things is definitely a good idea. Bonnie may have a difficult relationship with concepts like "telling the truth," "paying the rent," and "setting a good example for her grandchildren," but she certainly keeps life interesting.

Amazon is currently developing a script-to-series original Starsky & Hutch, from James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy). A co-production with Sony Pictures Television Studios and a continuation of the original 1970s series, the project will be a character-driven one hour procedural for Prime Video that deconstructs the buddy cop genre in the same entertaining way that Gunn did with the science fiction genre. The project is anticipated to be executive produced by James Gunn, writing partners Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island), and Original Film's Neal Moritz (Preacher) and Pavun Shetty (New Girl). Starsky & Hutch will be written by Brian and Mark, based on an idea by James.
Starsky & Hutch is the first foray into television for James Gunn and his production company Troll Court Entertainment. James Gunn, whose credits included mostly fan favorite indie films prior to writing and directing Guardians of the Galaxy, is responsible for turning the Marvel property into one of the most memorable franchises in the Marvel universe. The franchise has garnered over $1.6 billion at the worldwide box office and solidified Gunn as one of the most in demand filmmakers in town. More info is certainly to come, so stay tuned.
