It's a Living Coming to Logo on April 21; Hollywood Darlings Returns Wednesday on Pop

It's a Living

The '80s sitcom It's a Living is coming to Logo starting Saturday, April 21! The series will launch on Logo from 12pm-3:30pm on both Saturday and Sunday, in between blocks of Three's Company and Mama's Family on Saturday and Mama's Family and Married...with Children on Sunday. Like with other Logo sitcoms, It's a Living will air in marathon blocks when it airs. It will primarily air on weekends, so check your listings for exact timings. Other Logo sitcoms currently on the schedule include The Facts of Life, Alice, Green Acres, Too Close for Comfort, Bewitched, The Nanny, The Golden Girls, Will & Grace, All in the Family and the already mentioned Three's Company, Mama's Family and Married...with Children. Logo will air It's a Living starting with the third season, which was the start of its run in first-run syndication. The first two seasons aired on ABC, then continued for four more seasons in first-run syndication. The series has not been seen on television since it briefly aired on TV Land in 2001.

The show follows the lives of the waitresses at the posh restaurant Above the Top, located at the top of the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, California. At the helm was supervisor Nancy Beebe (Marian Mercer), the restaurant's maƮtre d', who sometimes fraternized with the girls but usually gave orders. More often than not the scheme of the week involved upsetting Nancy in some way because all she wanted was an orderly wait staff. Adding to the chaotic working environment was a wisecracking pianist named Sonny Mann (Paul Kreppel), who made rude comments to the women, Nancy included, and got insulted in return. The kitchen was the domain of Chef Mario (Bert Remsen), then Dennis Hubner (Earl Boen), and finally Howard Miller (Richard Stahl), who eventually married Nancy.


Hollywood Darlings

Back in January at the TCA Winter 2018 Press Tour, we got word that Pop TV set an April 18 season two premiere date for Hollywood Darlings starring Christine Lakin (Step by Step), Beverley Mitchell (7th Heaven) and Jodie Sweetin (Full House), and now we are just days away from the premiere! The season premiere airs at 8pm this Wednesday (April 18) only on Pop. There was a sneak peek episode last Wednesday after the season finale of Schitt's Creek. The season premiere, "Y2K," gives us the origin story of how the Hollywood Darlings became best friends told through a series of flashbacks to New Years Eve, 1999. 8 episodes have been ordered for the second season, just like the first season. Tune in this Wednesday at 8! And if you're in NJ or PA, catch the stars of Hollywood Darlings at the XFinity Stores in South Orange, NJ on Thursday, April 19 from 5-7pm and in King of Prussia, PA on Friday, April 20 from 3-5pm. The stars will be all over TV and radio this week as well, see out TV Stars on Talk listings.

In the series, these three childhood stars and friends, navigate the ups and downs of life in Hollywood. Through a series of misadventures, they guide and support one and other through crazy social situations, relationships, and their careers. Read our review of five episodes from last season.
