Hebbie's Sitting Tennant

Oops. Forgot to do Sitting Tennant yesterday. That’s what comes with not checking your To Do list. Still, hopefully this picture from Hebbie will make up for my failings.

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable and doesn’t obviously infringe copyright, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Tuesday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.

Each month, I’ll name the best picture provider and then at the end of the year, the overall champion will be announced for 2012!

ABC’s upfronts 2012-3 – a rundown and clips from the new shows

16 May 2012 Rob Buckley 2 Comments

Following on from NBC and Fox, today we get to have a look at the shiny new shows that ABC has lined up for us for the 2012 to 2013 season.

Like NBC, there have been a fair few cancellations at ABC this year, so we’ve got a few new dramas and comedies to look at. Unlike NBC, we have a lot of remakes of foreign shows to look forward to, unless we happen to have seen those foreign shows in question already.

So after the jump, we have rundowns, trailers and the 2012-13 schedules for:

  • Last Resort from Shawn Ryan and starring Andre Braugher and Dichen Lachman
  • 666 Park Ave. with (ooh) Robert Buckley and Terry O’Quinn
  • A remake of BBC1’s Mistresses with Charmed‘s Alyssa Milano
  • A remake of BBC3’s White Van Man retitled The Family Tools with Kyle Bornheimer. JK Simmons and Leah Remini from King of Queens
  • How to Live With Your Parents For The Rest of Your Life with Scrubs‘ Sarah Chalke, Brad Garrett, Orlando Jones and Elizabeth Perkins
  • Malibu Country with Lily Tomlin, Rbea and Jai Rodriguez (yes, him from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy)
  • Nashville with Connie Britton, Powers Boothe, The Wire‘s Robert Wisdom and Heroes‘ Hayden Panettiere
  • The Neighbors with Jami Gerz
  • A remake of Dutch TV’s Penoza, Red Widow, starring Radha Mitchell and
  • Zero Hour, with Anthony Edwards

And a lot of them look very silly indeed.
