SPOILER ALERT: This story includes details about the fall finale of ABC’s A Million Little Things.  Even by A Million Little Things‘ standards of heart-wrenching drama, tonight’s Season 2 fall finale packed quite an emotional punch. In it, PJ’s paternity drama came to a head, with him confronting his parents, Barbara…

A Million Little Things began with a death, as Jon killed himself, leaving his stunned friends to pick up the pieces and search for answers.

Whether or not imitation is actually the sincerest form of flattery, ABC's attempt to go all This Is Us with A Million Little Things is for sure a squandered effort. After a summer that saw the loss of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, suicide is a subject with more cultural poignancy than ever. Yet, starting out with…

The project, from…

It’s been another very late start to the broadcast network buying season. In one of the higher-profile comedy deals so far, ABC has given a script with penalty commitment to Losing It, a single-camera family comedy from Growing Up Fisher and Truth Be Told creator DJ Nash. Nash is executive producing the project with…

If you intend to be home watching TV on Friday night, let me recommend that you skip Truth Be Told. Debuting on October 16 on NBC at 8:30 PM, the Tone Bell and Mark-Paul Gosselaar led sitcom is, as my video review above says, simply terrible. And maybe the worst part is it doesn't have to be as the recently renewed…

At the TCA Summer Press Tour today, producer Will Packer came to speak about his new NBC comedy series Truth Be Told. But the press also wanted to chat about another one of his hot projects, the movie Straight Outta Compton, which is opening tonight at 8PM.  One press member asked if Packer was concerned about…

NBC continues to forge ahead this pilot season with two more pilot pickups: to multi-camera comedy People Are Talking, from Growing Up Fisher creator DJ Nash and The Wedding Ringer producer Will Packer, and hybrid comedy Take It From Us, from Friends alum Greg Malins.
