and pre-PS: David, you misspelt "Parenthood."
NBC's new fall drama series "Parenthood" has been pushed to midseason
because of an illness of one of the stars, Maura Tierney.
The series, a contemporary reimagining of the 1989 feature, had been
scheduled to begin filming July 27. The production start of the
Universal Media Studios/Imagine TV-produced show is now tentatively
scheduled for late September.
"Start of production on NBC Universal's new series 'Parenthood' has
been postponed for eight weeks due to medical evaluation that valued
cast member Maura Tierney is undergoing," NBC said in a statement.
"The top priority for NBC, Universal Media Studios and Imagine
Television is the well-being of Ms. Tierney. We are unable to release
further details and ask that you respect her privacy at this time."
Boy, first that programming Veep dropped dead of an aneurysm/brain
hemorrhage on the set of the pilot and now this. One more thing and I
think this show will be even more cursed than the Poltergeist movies.

Another unfortunate stream-of-consciousness linkage -- Diana Hyland
and "Eight is Enough."

And oh no, Maura Tierney! We need the NewsRadio reunion movie where
Dave and Lisa get married![1]

-- Rob

[1] Yes, regardless of what Phil Simms might think.

Maybe it's the curse of Craig T. Nelson.

Ooh, can we have a Just Shoot Me reunion where the cast kills Rena
Sofer?????? You know... for help accelerating killing the show.

Ah, NewsRadio and Just Shoot Me. Two shows who KNEW they had a 5-year
limited shelp life and left when it was actually time to go. AKA the
"UnScrubs".

No, she should actually get some sort of award for helping kill that
God awful show. For me, that show was always "Rocky" before Rena came
along.

IMO, JSM started sucking at *least* two seasons before Sofer came
aboard. Also, I like Sofer, I think she's gotten saddled with Robert
Urich Syndrome[1] , where shitty shows like to cast her and she's --
unfortunately for her -- always available for the shitty shows because
they're quickly cancelled because they're so shitty and the timing for
her thus becomes so shitty that no job openings are available to her
except other shitty shows. IOW, she's totally stuck in a Catch-22.

ObMauraTierney: It's like Maura Tierney and the crap roles that she's
gotten so far in movies.

Yeah, but I spelled both Phil and Simms correctly anyway. So there!

You didn't see that little clip of him on Faux news the Daily Show
used as a moment of zen recently, did you?

What kind of man would identify Phil Simms as a "football announcer"? If you said this in Kentucky it might cost you a
testicle.

That's not true at all.

Top 5 Worst southern States:

1. Texas
2. Oklahoma
3. Alabama
4. Mississippi
5. South Carolina.

Texas, Alabama and Mississippi can be greatly entertaining. South
Carolina makes me think of beaches and golf courses. I don't think I'd
bother with any movie set in Kentucky.

And Oklahoma? South? Sure, to someone who thinks Pittsburgh isn't just
in Pennsylvania on a technicality. To you the United States must look
like a Krusty Burger locations map.

The cinematographer, or something like that, also died a few weeks
ago.
