The Hudsonian Sees THE NEIGHBORS

Don’t Invite The Neighbors Over

by Josh Hudson

This ABC show originally aired on September 26, 2012 at 9:30 EST. It has since been moved to 8:30 EST, in between “The Middle” and “Modern Family”. Pretty sure that’s not going to matter.

It’s only fair that one would go to a Disney-owned company for news about athletes. I mean, ESPN is the worldwide leader in sports. The last place I’d look is a gated community in New Jersey, which is the basis of ABC’s new Wednesday night comedy, The Neighbors. Allow me to explain this atrocity. read article

LB Brags About Joe Wiseman

Back in the Dark Ages also known as the early ’90s, yours truly woke up one morning and thought, “I hate this. I hate this television writing and producing thing. I’m doing everything I always wanted to do and I hate it.” And, since the last time I’d had that thought when I woke up in the morning, about 15 years earlier, I had a heart attack later that afternoon, I decided a pre-emptive strike was in order.

So I quit. read article

munchman: Oh Gee, Wimmens Don’t Like Arnie Anymore

I’d call him Arnold, but that would show too much respect.

Why are we discussing this putz on a writing site? Um…because his carefully crafted lies are dead giveaways that he’s a natural fiction writer who – boohoo – wandered onto the wrong path. read article

Love & Money Dept – TV Writing Deals for 10/12/12

For those of us who want the vicarious thrill of being in-demand:

  • Stacy Traub (GLEE) has a pilot deal with Fox for DIRTY BLONDES, starring Angela Kinsey and Rachael Harris (who we’re supposed to know for some reason, but how can they be stars if we have to google ’em to find out who they are?)
  • Abby Kohn &Mark Silverstein (THE VOW)) are adapting Adulting: How to Become a Grown-Up in 387 Easy Steps by Kelly Williams Brown into a sitcom for Fox. (Um, no, we never heard of THE VOW either, but J.J. Abrams is producing that explains that.)
  • Jeremy Anderson & Patrick Moss (sorry, can’t find any credits for these guys anywhere) are writing a pilot for yet another soapy series based on Great Expectations at ABC. (Dickens? Pip? Again? Now you know why we aren’t knocking ourselves finding out molre about the writers. They’re gonna phone it in anyway.)
  • Lauren Bachelis (nope, no credits here either) is adapting her blog Hollywood Assistants into a sitcom, 20-NOTHINGS, for CBS. (Yay, beginning writers who leapfrog over me! Not.)
  • Uma Thurman is joining the cast of Lars Von Trier’s film, NYMPHOMANIAC. (No, she isn’t a writer. No, this isn’t even happening in television. But we’re so thrilled to find the name of somebody we recognize doing something show-bizzy somewhere that we just had to share. What? No, Lindsay Lohan’s latest fight with her mother absolutely does not count.)
