Doc Season 2 Trailer for Fox; Remembering David Ketchum and Jerry Adler
Dr. Amy Larsen has more than just her patients' lives on her hands on the season 2 premiere of Doc returning Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 9/8c on Fox. Watch/share the official season 2 trailer!
Inspired by a true story and based on the hit eponymous Italian drama series, Doc begins its second season of the life-affirming medical drama following the heartbreak and victories of hard-charging, brilliant physician Dr. Amy Larsen (Emmy nominee Molly Parker, House of Cards) as she rebuilds her life after a car crash erased eight years of her memory. This season, Amy will continue to confront hard truths about her missing years, work to repair fractured relationships and seek to reconcile the person she used to be with the one everyone else has come to know. Also starring Omar Metwally, Felicity Huffman, Amirah Vann, Charlotte Fountain-Jardim, Jon Ecker, and Anya Banerjee.
Actor and television writer David Ketchum, who starred as Spiffy in Camp Runamuck and as Agent 13 in Get Smart, has died. He died of heart failure on August 10 in Thousand Oaks, California. Mr. Ketchum was 97.
Ketchum's first regular role was as Mel Warshaw in 23 episodes of the 1962-1963 ABC sitcom I'm Dickens, He's Fenster. The series starred John Astin and Marty Ingels as Harry Dickens and Arch Fenster, inept Los Angeles carpenters who were friends, and who worked for the Bannister Construction Company. Mel Warshaw and Bob Mulligan (Henry Beckman) were carpenters who provided little help when problems arose on a job site. The cast included Emmaline Henry, Frank DeVol, and Noam Pitlik.
He starred as Senior Counselor Spiffy in the 1965-1966 NBC sitcom Camp Runamuck. The series related the wacky goings-on at the titular boys' summer camp, and at Camp Divine, its girls' counterpart across the lake. Runamuck was run by Commander Wivenhoe (Arch Johnson), a man who couldn't stand kids, and Senior Counselor Spiffy, his assistant of sorts. The cast included Alice Nunn, Dave Madden, Leonard Stone, Nina Wayne, Hermione Baddeley, Mike Wagner, and George Dunn.
Ketchum had a recurring role as Agent 13 in 13 episodes of the NBC sitcom Get Smart from 1966 to 1967. Agent 13 is an agent who is usually stationed inside unlikely, sometimes impossibly small or unlucky places, such as cigarette machines, washing machines, lockers, trash cans, or fire hydrants. Ketchum also co-wrote the third season episode titled "Classification: Dead." He reprised the role in the 1989 ABC TV movie Get Smart, Again! as well as an episode of the 1995 revival of Get Smart on Fox. Get Smart starred Don Adams, Barbara Feldon, and Edward Platt.
He had a recurring role as Joe Kelly, the father of Joey Kelly (Jodie Foster), in three episodes of The Courtship of Eddie's Father from 1969 to 1970. Some of his other sitcom guest appearances included The Jim Backus Show, Angel (2 episodes in 1961), The Real McCoys, The Joey Bishop Show (2 episodes), The Munsters, Hey, Landlord (4 episodes), Good Morning World (2 episodes), The Andy Griffith Show (2 episodes), Accidental Family (2 episodes), Petticoat Junction, Gomer Pyle: USMC, Mayberry R.F.D., That Girl (3 episodes), The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Green Acres (2 episodes), My Three Sons, The Odd Couple (2 episodes), The Partridge Family (1972), Love, American Style (4 episodes), Maude, Happy Days (5 episodes), Alice, Mork & Mindy, and Perfect Strangers.
Some of his other sitcom writing credits included Hey, Landlord (1967), Captain Nice (2 episodes), Here's Lucy (2 episodes), Me and the Chimp (2 episodes), Love, American Style (4 episodes), M*A*S*H, Blansky's Beauties, On Our Own (1977), Who's Watching the Kids? (2 episodes, he also directed 2 episodes), Happy Days (10 episodes), Laverne & Shirley (5 episodes), Too Close for Comfort, Down to Earth, The Love Boat (7 episodes), Perfect Strangers, Sledge Hammer! (4 episodes), and Full House.
Mr. Ketchum was funny and memorable as the unfortunate Agent 13 in Get Smart. He was a familiar face in many sitcoms of the 1960s and 1970s. We thank him for the laughs as an actor and writer. He will be greatly missed.
Actor Jerry Adler, who starred in Hudson Street, Alright Already and Raising Dad, has died. He died at his home in New York City on August 23. Mr. Adler was 96.
Adler had a recurring role as Mr. Wicker, the apartment building superintendent, in nine episodes of the NBC sitcom Mad About You from 1994 to 1999. He first appeared as Sgt. Panino in a 1993 episode. He reprised the role of Mr. Wicker in two episodes of the 2019 Spectrum revival.
He starred as Lt. Al Teischler in the 1995-1996 ABC sitcom Hudson Street. Tony Danza starred as Tony Canetti, a divorced detective in Hoboken, New Jersey, who shares custody of his son Mickey with his ex-wife. Old-timer Al was seen down at the station house. The cast included Lori Loughlin, Frankie J. Galasso, Christine Dunford, Tom Gallop, Jeffrey Anderson-Gunter, and Shareen J. Mitchell.
Adler starred as Al Lerner in the 1997-1998 The WB sitcom Alright Already. Carol Lerner (Carol Leifer) is a single businesswoman who opens an optometry shop in Miami with her best friend and deals with embarrassing situations and her relationship with her family. Al and Miriam Lerner (Mitzi McCall) were her retired, overbearing, perpetually squabbling parents. The series also starred Amy Yasbeck, Stacy Galina, and Maury Sterling.
He starred as Sam Stewart in the 2001-2002 The WB sitcom Raising Dad. Matt Stewart (Bob Saget) is a widower trying to raise his two daughters, Sarah (Kat Dennings) and Emily (Brie Larson), with the help of his live-in father, Sam, a former baseball player for the Boston Red Sox. The cast included Meagan Good, Andy Kindler, Ben Indra, Beau Wirick, Camille Guaty, Tembi Locke, and Riley Smith.
Some of his other sitcom guest appearances included Brooklyn Bridge, True Colors (2 episodes), Spin City, LateLine, The War at Home, 'Til Death (2 episodes), Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Broad City.
Adler was also known for work in television dramas. He had a recurring role as Herman "Hesh" Rabkin, a loan shark and advisor to Tony Soprano, in 28 episodes of the 1999-2007 HBO crime drama The Sopranos. He had a recurring role as Sidney Feinberg, FDNY 75th Battalion Chief, in 34 episodes of the FX comedy drama Rescue Me from 2007 to 2011. He had a recurring role as Howard Lyman in 30 episodes of the CBS legal political drama The Good Wife from 2011 to 2016. He reprised the role in two episodes of The Good Fight in 2017 and 2018. He had a recurring role as Moshe Pfefferman, the father of Maura Pfefferman (Jeffrey Tambor), in nine episodes of the Amazon comedy drama Transparent from 2017 to 2019.
Some of his other television guest appearances included Quantum Leap (1992), New York Undercover, Northern Exposure (3 episodes as Rabbi Alan Schulman), Law & Order, Wonderland, Bull (3 episodes), The West Wing, CSI: Miami, Detroit 1-8-7, Mozart in the Jungle (2 episodes), and Living with Yourself.
Mr. Adler was a talented and versatile actor. He spent decades behind the scenes of storied Broadway productions before pivoting to acting in his early 60s. We thank him for his work on television. He will be sorely missed.

Then from 11am-5pm will be a new block titled ALN Today, with original series Kevin McCullough, The Ray Lucia Show, and The Big Biz Show. The Flipper and Beachcombers hour will move from 4pm to 5pm, replacing Rhoda and Phyllis. The ALN lifestyle series will air in the 6pm hour replacing Mission: Impossible, which is also leaving the schedule. At 7pm and 8pm from Mon-Thurs, ALN has acquired dramas The Fall Guy and Chicago Hope, so Sue Thomas F.B.eye is off the line-up as well. Also leaving the line-up are the primetime series St. Elsewhere, L.A. Law, and Hill Street Blues. Weeknights at 9pm will be another hour of Flipper and Beachcombers. Then at 10pm & 11pm from Mon-Thurs will be encores of The Fall Guy and Chicago Hope. MGM movies will air on Fridays during all of the times for The Fall Guy and Chicago Hope. Weeknights at 12am will be a MGM movie.
On weekends there aren't any series airing except the court series in mornings (early Sunday morning from 5:30am-7am and 10:30am-12pm. The ALN R2G Movie airs Saturdays in primetime at 8pm and again at 1am. Other movie airings are Saturdays at 5:30pm and Sundays from 10pm-4am.

The Hallmark Channel will be adding more Who's the Boss? to its schedule starting TODAY, as we mentioned on our message boards late last week. Who's the Boss? will remain in its weekdays 1pm to 3pm slots as it has since May 17, but it will now also gain more hours airing weekdays 6pm to 8pm. That's eight airings every weekday and the evening airings will start from the pilot episode today, which means it will be a different rotation than the current afternoon airings. The evening airings will replace an episode each of dramas Doc (at 6pm) and Touched by an Angel (at 7pm), which means Doc is off the line-up totally and Touched is reduced to just 8pm.
Will Who's the Boss? remain in the evening hours come Sept. 13 when Martha Stewart programming takes over from 10am-6pm? We will let you know as soon as we know, as Hallmark is still working on a schedule. Be patient and stay with us.

Hallmark Channel Acquires New Family Drama; Fox Announces Fall 2010 Premiere Dates
The Hallmark Channel has acquired another series. This time it is a drama and will premiere in less than 2 weeks on Monday, July 26, 2010. Beginning July 26, Doc, starring Billy Ray Cyrus, joins the schedule Monday-Friday at 6pm. Doc is already airing on cable network GMC (Gospel Music Channel) during weekdays at 3pm and 10pm, but it is unclear as of this writing if they will still air it come July 26. I'm guessing they will, though. Doc originally aired from 2001-2004 on PAX (now known as ION Television) and it last aired on ION Television around late 2007. It joined the GMC line-up in June, 2009.
So what is it replacing? First, beginning next Monday (July 19, 2010), another airing of Little House on the Prairie will replace an hour of M*A*S*H in the 5pm hour. Also, for week of July 19 only at 6pm, Touched by an Angel will replace the second hour of M*A*S*H. Then the following week Doc takes over, as we mentioned. This means M*A*S*H is off the line-up totally once again after this week. Little House on the Prairie will be extended to 3-6pm and Touched by an Angel will air 6-9pm next week, before Doc takes that 6pm hour starting July 26.
Everything else remains intact, and yes that means the sitcoms like Who's the Boss?, I Love Lucy, The Golden Girls, The Partridge Family, and Cheers! Hallmark says M*A*S*H is on a hiatus only...so stay with us if it returns at some point again. And of course we will let you know the Hallmark Channel Fall schedule in a few weeks in our annual Fall schedules barrage! Stay with us!
Fox has set the fall premiere dates for its new and returning series. The 2010-2011 season on Fox will kick off with a special premiere week beginning Monday, Sept. 20. House returns for a seventh season Monday, Sept. 20 at 8:00 PM ET/PT followed by the series premiere of drama Lone Star at 9:00 PM ET/PT. This fall, Tuesdays feature a night of pitch-perfect comedy beginning Sept. 21 with the return of Glee now at 8:00 PM ET/PT and the series premieres of new family comedy Raising Hope in the 9:00 PM ET/PT half-hour and new romantic comedy Running Wilde at 9:30 PM ET/PT starring Will Arnett and Keri Russell. On Wednesday, Sept. 22, things heat up for Gordon Ramsay in the two-hour premiere of the eighth season of Hell's Kitchen from 8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT. The series will run two-hour episodes until Nov. 10 when Lie to Me returns Wednesday, Nov. 10 at 8:00 PM ET/PT, shifting Hell's to 9:00 PM ET/PT. The thrill is on Thursdays when both Bones (8:00 PM ET/PT) and Fringe (9:00 PM ET/PT) return beginning Sept. 23.
Action-packed weekends kick off Fridays with the return of Human Target on a new night, at 8:00 PM ET/PT and the fall premiere of The Good Guys at 9:00 PM ET/PT) on Sept. 24. Saturdays are still the most arresting night of television with the season premieres of Cops at 8:00 and 8:30 PM ET/PT - celebrating its milestone 800th episode - and America's Most Wanted at 9:00 PM ET/PT on Sept. 11.

'90s Cosby Sitcom Now on Gospel Music Channel; Remembering TV Writer Barry Blitzer
You can win a 10 CD prize pack on Twitter if you retweet their status. Contest ends Friday (Feb. 5) at 12 noon ET, so hurry Hilton Lucas fans!

Airing weekdays in the 8am hour now will be Sister, Sister in between the two new series. In the 10am hour we now have an hour of Amen. Joyful Noise Cafe has now moved to 11am-1pm, as it used to air 7am-9am, which means Christy is now gone from 12 noon. Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman will still remain in the 1pm, 2pm, 6pm and 7pm hours. Faith & Fame replaces Promised Land at 3pm, but Promised Land will now move to 10pm. Sue Thomas, F.B.eye will remain weekdays at 4pm and 8pm, while Doc also remain weekdays at 5pm and 9pm. Sister, Sister is replaced from 10pm-12am with the aforementioned Promised Land and Cosby hours. Various gospel progamming remains airs at 12 midnight ET and Amen continues to air with back-to-back episodes in the 1am ET hour, which is in addition to its 10am ET hour.
For weekends, everything looks the same with the weekly Sister, Sister Saturday marathons from 9am-2pm leading into movies the rest of the day. Sundays will still have a mix of movies and gospel programming.
View the full Gospel Music Channel schedule and to discuss these new changes.
Veteran television writer Barry Blitzer, who wrote for classic TV shows such as Get Smart and The Flintstones, died last Wednesday (Jan. 27) in Santa Monica, Calif from complications after abdominal surgery. Blitzer shared a Writers Guild nomination in 1968 for Get Smart, with co-writer and frequent collaborator Raymond Brenner. He wrote for comedies including The Phil Silvers Show, Gomer Pyle, Andy Griffith Show, The Love Boat, Hot L Baltimore, Too Close for Comfort, McHale's Navy, Filthy Rich, Small Wonder, and Good Times.
In addition to The Flinstones, Blitzer also wrote episodes for other Hanna Barbera cartoons like The Jetsons, The Flinstone Kids, The New Yogi Bear Show, and Top Cat, as well as children's programs including Land of the Lost. He was also the last surviving member of the group of writers who shared a 1956 Best Comedy Writing Emmy for The Phil Silvers Show (for the episode, "You'll Never Get Rich").
He was also a story editor for the animated versions of Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley (The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang and Laverne & Shirley in the Army), along with writing episodes for The Partridge Family animated series Partridge Family 2200 AD.
Mr. Blitzer will certainly be missed even though he has not written anything since 1990. He was 80.

iTunes Free Summer of Laughs; Gospel Music Channel Acquires Three Dramas
Gospel Music Channel has acquired the rights to air three dramas starting this afternoon! Starting today (Monday, June 15), they will air Christy, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, and Doc from 4-8PM every weekday. Dr. Quinn will air two episodes (5-7pm).
Christy was a short-lived CBS family drama from 1994-95 starring Kellie Martin. There will also about four TV-movies from 2000-2003 that PAX produced. Dr. Quinn was of course the popular family western drama starring Jane Seymour that aired from 1993-98 on CBS. In addition, the series also had two TV-movies in 1999 and 2001. And finally Doc was a family medical drama starring Billy Ray Cyrus that was on PAX from 2001-2004. These are the first scripted series to ever air on this network. They also air movies, though. Incidentally, all three have aired on the former PAX-TV at some point, whether it be reruns or originals (in Doc's case).
Gospel Music Channel recently also acquired the television rights to the off-net series Amy Grant's Three Wishes and Clash of The Choirs, which both shows air together on Wednesday nights since June 3. Three Wishes airs at 8:00 p.m., while Clash of the Choirs follows at 9:00 p.m. Both were short-lived reality series on NBC.
