TV Land is kicking off another original series, and Happily Divorced fits in the same mold as its other successes. That is to say, it's a fairly screwy comedy that you'd expect to see coming out in the 80's. Fran Drescher is an L.A. florist who finds herself dating again after 18 years of marriage. Nothing that doesn't happen everyday, except that Fran isn't married anymore because her husband … [Read more...]
Living large on the fairly amazing success of Hot in Cleveland, TV Land is not only bringing back its newest venture, Retired at 35, but has also given the go ahead to two more, brand new sitcoms. Thus far, there seems little doubt that the people at TV Land know how to get audiences, and as things continue to play out with the two sitcoms they have, it seems that there are plenty of people … [Read more...]

Being a kind of anti-fan of reality television (though that may not mean what you think it means), I'm thoroughly impressed with the concept of TV Land's new reality effort Make My Day. One unsuspecting person per show is basically reverse-Punk'd. For one day, a team of professionals, and their friends and family, will conspire to make everything go right, and have amazing things happen to … [Read more...]

The beauty show that focuses on... less young women, plays a slightly different game, and if nothing else avoids 17 year-olds who think the fashion industry is, "Like, Oh my God, Wow."
