Complete TV Listings

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! We're fully into the fall TV season, and we're already hearing about what is in development for next season. Additionally, we have news of an animated series that will soon be airing on Syfy. Let's get going!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB

Who to Follow: Grant Show (Twitter), "Actor. Producer. Father. Grandfather. Animal lover."

Claim to Fame: We're continuing our "stars of the new shows" theme this week, and this week, we're looking at the star of Dynasty. No, not John Forsythe, who played Blake Carrington on the original ABC series (he is no longer alive even), but Grant Show, who'll play that role on the new one that begins on The CW this week. He isn't at all new to the soap genre, as he previously had a regular role on the ABC daytime soap opera Ryan's Hope and also starred in primetime soap operas including Melrose Place, Point Pleasant, and Devious Maids. He even briefly had a sitcom role, on Accidentally on Purpose, but that series didn't go over so well. Early reviews for this series have been mixed, but we're somewhat hopeful that this could be a successful reboot worth watching given some time, especially when it is able to begin carving it's own path and storylines that deviate from the original and are more fitting in the modern era.
Pick of the Tweets: "Hey guys! So sorry about the demise of Devious Maids. It was a lot of fun and I loved reading you comments." (October 8, 2016)

It's time for another edition of Fri-Yay! That means we will take a look back on some sitcom happenings in recent days or weeks or other fun sitcomy stuff. It's a sitcom lover's paradise! Happy Fri-Yay!

by Vincent

So what's the state of this year's freshman class of sitcoms? Now that we're nearing mid-October, we've seen pretty much all of the sitcoms that will be premiering this fall. Each network has premiered at least one new sitcom (okay, in the case of NBC they technically haven't since Will & Grace is really a returning series), so let's go for a network-by-network breakdown of "the state of the sitcoms." Frankly, it's a bit of a light year for new sitcoms, so we'll also be looking at each network's overall network slate when evaluating their new shows.

CBS: CBS premiered the most new sitcoms this fall, with three newbies - two of which are currently airing on Monday nights (9JKL and Me, Myself and I) and one of which had a "special preview" and will be airing in its regular timeslot starting in November (Young Sheldon). CBS has a lot of new sitcoms this fall, but none are particularly great, at least not yet. 9JKL feels like an unnecessary Everybody Loves Raymond rehash, Me, Myself and I has potential but still needs to work out its off-beat premise, and Young Sheldon has flashes of ambition but also feels too much like a cash grab spin-off. Still, it's nice that CBS is trying and experimenting. Me, Myself and I has a more interesting premise than your average CBS sitcom, and Young Sheldon sees the show playing with a single-camera Wonder Years-esque format (even if, again, it's a bit of a cash grab.) Much like its returning comedies (with the exception of the genuinely very good Mom), CBS's new sitcoms are essentially fine, if nothing to write home about.

ABC - ABC has had the most consistently solid sitcom line-up of the past 6 or 7 years, with a solid stable of family comedies that hit with critics and audiences alike. The Mayor is the only new ABC comedy this fall, and although it's not a family comedy, it still has the trademark ABC mix of humor, heart, and subtle social commentary. Along with excellent returning sitcoms like black-ish, Fresh Off the Boat, The Middle, and Speechless along with old favorite Modern Family, ABC has once again put together a masterclass comedy line-up that all of the other networks can only hope for.

NBC - NBC's sitcom slate was in disarray for many years, falling hard from the heights of the days when they aired beloved shows like Seinfeld, Cheers, Friends, The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, etc. However, in the past few years, NBC's comedy line-up has risen from the ashes a bit. Starting with the dearly departed The Carmichael Show and continuing with the consistently charming Superstore, the mind-blowing heights of The Good Place, and the highly promising Great News, NBC has put together a solid comedy line-up. Now with a hyped anchor in the Will & Grace revival, NBC has a shot at rivaling ABC for being the network source for top-notch comedy.

FOX - FOX's only new comedy this fall is Ghosted, which is an intriguing high-concept show with two very capable lead actors (Adam Scott and Craig Robinson) but doesn't quite feel all there yet. Still, with a solid stable of recurring comedies in The Mick, The Last Man on Earth, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine and its always reliable animated slate (featuring the always wonderful Bob's Burgers and long-running staples The Simpsons and Family Guy), it's not hard to think Ghosted will eventually live up to its cast and premise.

So, overall, despite a somewhat weak showing this fall, the networks have a solid enough stable of recurring comedies that they're in pretty good shape going into the 2017 - 2018 TV season. Hopefully some of the newbies live up to their potential, and the networks' sitcom stables could grow even more impressively.

Freeform, Disney's young adult television and streaming network, reveals cast for new comedy pilot, Now & Then. The pilot is a single-camera comedy about a group of old college friends who, after having lost touch over the years, are brought back together unexpectedly for one wild night. Reuniting as friends gives them a new lease on life and the opportunity to discover who they always promised each other they would be. The pilot is written by Shawn Wines who will also serve as executive producer, along with executive producers Aaron Kaplan and Dana Honor.

Myko Olivier (Menendez: Blood Brothers) stars as Nick, who was destined for greatness in college but has been lying to his friends for years about his success. Mia Serafino (Crowded) plays Emily, Nick's best friend who dreamed of becoming a singer but ended up a disenchanted real estate agent. Punam Patel (Return of the Mac, Kevin From Work) portrays Sarah, a witty and sarcastic science major turned researcher, who is bored with her mundane life, but reuniting with her old pals just may re-invigorate her and send her on a different path. Brandon Mychal Smith (You're the Worst, Sweet/Vicious) will star as EZ, the wild man in the group of college friends, but years later, is a house husband whose life is totally consumed by his infant daughter. James Earl (Scream Queens) will portray Moose, the "lovable idiot" of the group. Years later, Moose is divorced and living a bleak life, but reuniting with his old pals may be the springboard he needs to make some changes. Rounding out the cast is Ana Cruz Kayne (The Bold Type) who plays Jane, a confident and charming coed, and Moose's college partner in crime. Jane is now a successful lawyer but has put her dating life and real-life goals on the backburner.

CBS All Access, the CBS Television Network's digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service, announced its first original comedy series, No Activity, will premiere on Sunday, November 12, the same night as the chapter one conclusion of Star Trek: Discovery. New episodes of No Activity will be available weekly on Sundays exclusively for CBS All Access subscribers No Activity, a comedy series from executive producers Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Funny Or Die, marks CBS All Access' first original comedy. In what should be a high stakes sting operation, No Activity celebrates the mundane. Set against the world of a major drug cartel bust, the series follows two low-level cops who have spent far too much time in a car together; two criminals who are largely kept in the dark; two dispatch workers who haven't really clicked; and two Mexican tunnelers who are in way too small a space considering they've only just met.

The cast of No Activity includes co-creator Patrick Brammall and Tim Meadows along with guest stars Mark Berry, Arturo Castro, Mackenzie Davis, Bridget Everett, Will Ferrell, Darren Gilshenan, Travis Guba, Jake Johnson, Sunita Mani, Jason Mantzoukas, Adrian Martinez, Jesse Plemons, Fred Pohl, Alex Rodriguez, Amy Sedaris, J.K. Simmons, Courtenay Taylor, Michaela Watkins and Daniel Zolghadri.

SHOWTIME has acquired the BBC series Ill Behaviour, a six-part comedy thriller about the boundaries of friendship and the lengths taken to preserve it. Starring Chris Geere (You're the Worst), Lizzy Caplan (Showtime's Masters of Sex) and Tom Riley (DaVinci's Demons), Ill Behaviour focuses on Joel (Geere) who uses any methods, conventional or otherwise, to save Charlie (Riley) when Charlie announces that he is abandoning chemotherapy treatment for his cancer. Written by Sam Bain (Peep Show) and directed by Steve Bendelack (Friday Night Dinner), Ill Behaviour makes its SHOWTIME debut on Monday, November 13 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. Ill Behaviour is produced by Fudge Park Productions.

In Ill Behaviour, the recently divorced Joel moves in with best friend Charlie, who sets him up on a date with Nadia (Caplan), a doctor who also happens to be a raging alcoholic. Their connection is complicated by the newest revelation about Charlie's condition, sending the trio and mutual friend Tess (Jessica Regan, Doctors) down a reckless path. Tempers flare, temperatures rise, copious amounts of alcohol are consumed, cross-bows are brandished, friends turn into enemies, enemies turn into lovers and life-long relationships bend, stretch - and shatter.

The Mayor - Tuesdays at 9:30PM ET/PT on ABC
Premieres Tuesday, October 3, 2017 at 9:30PM ET/PT

by Vincent

Struggling young rapper Courtney Rose, tired of waiting for opportunity, cooks up the publicity stunt of the century: Running for mayor of his hometown in California to generate buzz for his music career. Unfortunately for Courtney, his master plan goes wildly awry, ending in the most terrifying of outcomes: An election victory. With the help of his mother and friends, Courtney will have to overcome his hubris if he wants to transform the struggling city he loves.

Cast Details:

Brandon Micheal Hall as Courtney Rose
Bernard Jones as Jermaine Hardaway
Lea Michele as Valentina "Val" Flores
Marcel Spears as TK
Yvette Nicole Brown as Dina

Brandon Micheal Hall (Courtney) is an actor best known for his role as Julian on the critically acclaimed TBS comedy Search Party. He has also appeared in guest roles on shows such as Broad City, The Characters and Unforgettable.

Bernard Jones (Jermaine) is a comedic actor and writer. Prior to The Mayor, he was known for his role in comedic shorts on CollegeHumor, as well as his television roles on shows such as House of Payne and Meet the Browns.

Lea Michele (Val) is best known for her role as Rachel Berry on the musical comedy-drama Glee. She also starred in the drama-horror series Scream Queens and in several hit Broadway musicals, including Spring Awakening and Les Miserables.

Marcel Spears (TK) is a young comedic actor, and The Mayor will be his first starring role.

Yvette Nicole Brown (Dina) is best known for her role as Shirley Bennett on the cult classic sitcom Community. She is also well-known for her role as Helen on the 2000s Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh, and for her role as Dani on the recent reboot of The Odd Couple.

Pilot Plot:

"Pilot" (Airs October 2 at 9:30PM ET)

Young rapper Courney Rose has a genuis plan to beef up his music career: throwing his hat into his town's local mayor race. But his plan goes awry when something unexpected happens: he actually wins. Courtney's charisma and outspoken optimism are what helped him get elected as the Mayor, but even though he's an outsider when it comes to politics, he finds that he's actually good at it. Courtney has smarts, swagger and creativity, but has never worked a full-time job in his life. Luckily for him, he has the right people around him to shepherd his growth, both as a person and a politician.

Analysis:

The Mayor has a premise that could be very difficult to make work. It's the kind of premise that probably seemed like a really great idea a year or so ago when it was likely first developed, when the concept of a non-political entertainer surprisingly being elected to office seemed unlikely enough that you could laugh about it. Of course, this is 2017, and as we know, it's very much our reality. That makes a show like The Mayor potentially kind of worthless. Why do we need a show that poses a hypothetical world where a non-politician who seems unlikely to take office winds up winning an election? We already live in that world.

Yet somehow, The Mayor works, and it works well enough that it's easily the most (and perhaps only) promising new show of overall kind of dull 2017-2018 new sitcoms slate. In general, The Mayor's success is mostly "despite" its premise rather than because of it - although the show gets some interesting points out of its rapper-turned-mayor premise and some potential to dig deeper and get even more meaning out of it, what's really great about The Mayor is mostly just its cast and characters, which already feel funny and fully realized out of the gate - a rarity for early sitcom episodes, which as we all know, can often take a handful of episodes or even entire first seasons to fully gel. Courtney is a character that, so far, has done a good job of maintaining the balance between being self-centered enough that we understand he needs to improve himself along with being likable enough that we don't hate watching him. Courtney isn't a bad person, but his determination can sometimes cause him to forget that he needs to focus on people other than himself, and that, obviously, conflicts in interesting ways with his brand new, incredibly important job title. In many ways, The Mayor is less of a show about "what if an entertainer became president?" and more of a story about "what if this specific entertainer became president?". In other words, it's more of a character story about Courtney and the people he surrounds himself with rather than a piece of social commentary.

Of course, it's hard not to at least have a little bit of social commentary when you have a premise that's so tied to current events, and while I wouldn't say The Mayor is exactly a scathing take on the current political scene in America (the only time it references our own presidential election is through one blink-and-you'll miss-it joke about Russian hacking), there are some subtle themes and character arcs that have an interesting perspective viewed through the lens of our current world. The Mayor's belief seems to boil down to the fact that if people in public office can get through their own selfishness and realize the importance of their roles and how they truly can make a difference, then maybe we'd start seeing some real change and improvement in people's lives. If it continues down that path, The Mayor has the potential to be a Parks & Rec-esque beacon of light in our turbulent political times. Even if it doesn't, though, it still promises to be an entertaining sitcom with a killer cast, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Conclusion:

The Mayor is one of the most fully-formed new sitcoms on network television in quite some time, with a strong cast, a snappy sense of humor, and characters that already feel real and lived in. The show's premise seems like it would be difficult to stomach, but The Mayor treats it with enough respect and light-hearted inspiration that it never feels too cloying or heavy-handed. There are bits and pieces here that show potential for a genuinely uplifting and inspiring political sitcom, which would be quite a feat in a time when Americans' attitudes towards politics seem to be at an all-time low. Even if it doesn't reach those lofty heights, though, it still seems like it'll be a fun, often hilarious sitcom to add to ABC's rock-solid stable of comedy.

Final Numbers (out of 5 stars):

Watchability: 4.5/5
Funniness: 4/5
Overall: 4/5

Back by popular demand, actor Jamie Farr will present more of his favorite M*A*S*H episodes, sharing his comments, memories, and stories from his time as costar of one of television's greatest series of all time. MeTV's special week of "M*A*S*H: More of The Best by Farr" airs Monday, October 9, through Friday, October 13, from 7-8pm ET/PT. Schedule of episodes...

Monday, October 9: "Welcome to Korea" (one hour), 7:00pm ET/PT
Tuesday, October 10: "Fade Out, Fade In" (one hour), 7:00pm ET/PT
Wednesday, October 11: "A Night At Rosie's" 7:00pm ET/PT and "Period of Adjustment" 7:30pm ET/PT
Thursday, October 12: "April Fools" 7:00pm ET/PT and "Birthday Girls" 7:30pm ET/PT
Friday, October 13: "Friends and Enemies" 7:00pm ET/PT and "As Time Goes By" 7:30pm ET/PT

When Jamie Farr was cast in M*A*S*H as Corporal Klinger, the character loosely based on the real-life activities of legendary satirist Lenny Bruce was intended to be temporary. The audience response to the character and Farr’s portrayal was so overwhelmingly positive that Klinger eventually became permanent and Farr a cast regular. In a show that often veered from moments of hilarious comedy to sober social commentary, Corporal Klinger (later Sergeant Klinger) provided comic relief as he pursued a Section 8 discharge by cross-dressing and engaging in antics designed to bring his mental health into question. A veteran of both television comedy and American armed services, Farr brought a level of depth and realism to a character that could have easily been one-dimensional in the hands of a lesser talent. (The dog tags Farr wore on the show were his actual tags from his service in the U.S. Army.) Like most of the M*A*S*H characters, Klinger evolved and changed over time.

9JKL - Mondays at 8:30PM ET/PT on CBS
Premieres Monday, October 2, 2017 at 8:30PM ET/PT

by Todd

9JKL stars Mark Feuerstein in a family comedy inspired by his real life. Josh Roberts (Feuerstein) is a new divorcé and actor between projects who moves home to New York to regroup, living in an apartment sandwiched between his doting, meddlesome parents on one side and his competitive brother, sister-in-law and their new baby on the other. As Josh's family literally comes at him from both sides, he realizes he desperately needs to establish some personal boundaries, because his loving family is always going to be right there for him. Always.

Cast Details:

Mark Feuerstein as Josh
David Walton as Andrew
Elliott Gould as Harry
Linda Lavin as Judy
Liza Lapira as Eve
Matt Murray as Nick
Albert Tsai as Ian

Josh's well-intentioned mom, Judy, is so excited to have her beloved son home after his 12 years in Los Angeles that she bribes their doorman, Nick, to secretly call her every time Josh comes up the elevator, so she can greet him in the hallway. Also thrilled is Josh’s larger-than-life father, Harry, an attorney with no personal boundaries who’s eager to help Josh land his next starring role using his Hollywood “connections.” Teasing Josh about his return home is his competitive brother, Andrew, a successful surgeon who, unlike Josh, doesn’t have a problem saying “no” to their interfering parents; Andrew’s Harvard-educated pediatrician wife, Eve; and 12-year-old neighbor Ian from 5A, who hangs out in the lobby. As Josh’s family literally comes at him from both sides, he realizes he desperately needs to establish some ground rules, because his loving family is always going to be right there for him. Always.

Directed by Pamela Fryman
Written by Dana Klein and Mark Feuerstein
Guest stars: Paul Feig as Himself, Sally Pressman as Christina, Hana Hayes as Molly, Fernando Martinez as Man

Analysis:

9JKL is a multi-camera sitcom from Kapital Entertainment in association with CBS Television studios. Dana Klein, Mark Feuerstein, Aaron Kaplan, Wendi Trilling, Dana Honor and Pam Fryman are the executive producers. Mark Feuerstein and Dana Klein are married in real life. The show is loosely based on his experiences while shooting the USA Network series Royal Pains. One difference is that Feuerstein and Klein lived together while living next to his own family.

In the "Pilot" episode, Judy and Harry look at their son, Josh, as a baby while he is sleeping in his bed. Josh has returned to New York after 12 years in Los Angeles after his show was cancelled and he divorced. He starred in the TV series Blind Cop, which they have a poster of on his wall. Josh explains to them that is only temporary as he looks to get back into theatre. Josh's brother Andrew, his wife Eve and their baby Wyatt come into the room as the entire family greets him. Josh later talks to the doorman, Nick, and his new neighbor Ian from apartment 5A in the lobby. Judy greets Josh in the lobby and invites him in for cookies and a chat. Harry wants Josh to star in a viral video for his estate planning business.

Josh and Andrew later meet in the park where they meet a man who recognizes Josh from Blind Cop. Josh meets Christina Jones, who went to school with him at Michigan. Josh tells Nick and Ian about his date with Christina. Ian tells him about a role being available in a Paul Feig comedy. Josh tries to sneak past his mother's apartment undetected. Howard tries to set up Josh a meeting with Paul Feig. They shoot the viral video. Josh receives a phone call from Molly, who is babysitting Wyatt. Josh picks up his nephew Wyatt and takes him to the restaurant to meet Christina. Christina suggests they go to Josh's place. Josh learns that Nick has been phoning Judy every time he arrives home. While talking to Christina on the terrace, Howard offers her some honeydew melon. Christina learns that Josh lives next to his family. Josh tells them he needs space. Josh rushes to meet Paul Feig. Although he can't read for the role of the doctor, he is offered another role. His family congratulates him and tells them they will always be there for him.

The "Pilot" episode is fast-paced, funny and enjoyable. There are quite a few characters to introduce, so they do a good job giving everybody some screen time. It will be interesting to learn more about the characters and their backgrounds in future episodes. The cast has some great chemistry already. Surprisingly enough, this isn't the first time that Feuerstein and Lavin have played son and mother. They had previously worked together in the short-lived 1998 sitcom Conrad Bloom. The title of the show is interesting and unique. Josh lives in Apartment 9K. He is sandwiched between his parents' apartment, 9J; and his brother, sister-in-law and their baby's apartment, 9L.

9JKL features a talented and experienced comedy cast. Mark Feuerstein has recently been starring in dramas such as Royal Pains and Prison Break, but he starred in a number of sitcoms earlier in his career. David Walton has appeared in many sitcoms in recent years. Elliott Gould had a recurring role in Friends and recently stared in Mulaney. It's always great to see Linda Lavin return to television. She could be anybody's overly protective mother in this role. Liza Lapira is always funny in her roles. Matt Murray and Albert Tsai form a nice comedic duo and provide some funny lines. Albert Tsai is always a scene stealer in all of his TV appearances. The trend continues here.

Conclusion:

9JKL is a likable and promising new comedy. There's nothing really groundbreaking, but it's just a fun half hour. It's very much an old school sitcom with the laugh track. They have put together a strong and experienced cast. This is a family comedy which many people will be able to relate to. If you've ever moved back in with your parents, it will hit home. There are many funny lines and awkward moments in the series premiere. The cast has some great chemistry, especially Feuerstein and Lavin who have played son and mother before. Elliott Gould is also very funny as the father. They made a good decision adding young Albert Tsai to the regular cast. He's one of the best child actors in the business.

The show couldn't ask for a better lead-in following the highest rated comedy in The Big Bang Theory. They should receive some nice sampling. It will be interesting to see how it does in a few weeks without the big lead-in, but I think it has a reasonable chance of success. There are few sitcoms in recent years which have put together so many familiar faces and comedy veterans. CBS has assembled a solid comedy block on Monday nights. It seems like a very good fit with their other family comedies. Comedy has a new address at 9JKL. Tune in Mondays at 8:30PM ET/PT.

Final Numbers (out of 5 stars):

Watchability: 3.5/5
Funniness: 3.5/5
Overall: 3.5/5
