'Bored to Death': Jenny Slate, please come back

9 November 2009 9:25 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Last night's Bored to Death was a laugh riot as usual, but to my utter shock, my favorite scene had nary a Ted Danson in sight! I'm digging new Saturday Night Live cast member (and utterer of memorable f-bomb) Jenny Slate as Stella, a perfect love/like interest for Jason Schwartzman's Jonathan. On Sunday's episode, "Take a Dive," Stella lured Jonathan away from the blank Word document on his pretty Apple laptop to get stoned with him and play Nerf basketball. They were so out of it that after tumbling onto the floor post-misguided Jason Schwartzman "dunk" attempt, physical »

Mystery for Slackers: Why 'Bored to Death' worked

8 November 2009 7:33 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

Only a few minutes ago, the first season of HBO's freshman comedy Bored to Death concluded with its eighth episode, entitled "Take a Dive." The episode, one of my favorites yet, managed to be both sincere and funny at the same time. The same can be applied to most of the first season, which follows generally sweet Jonathan Ames, a floundering novel writer in dire economic straits, in his second job, moonlighting as a private detective. He is joined by his best friend, comic book artist Ray Huesten, and his boss, magazine editor George Christopher, in his various misadventures of cases.

Of course, Bored to Death didn't really have a chance to fail. It was placed in such prime television real estate that to fail, it would have had to be extremely, terribly awful. Which it wasn't. It actually managed to be the funniest show on television Sunday night, even out-laffing Curb Your Enthusiasm, »

Guttenberg Wants ‘3 Men and a Bride’

5 November 2009 6:06 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

Steve Guttenberg is claiming he’s set to reunite with Ted Danson and Tom Selleck for 3 Men and a Bride, the potentially third movie in the 3 Men in a Baby series.

The 51-year-old actor’s last big movie was probably 3 Men and a Little Lady in 1990, so prepare your giant grain of salt.  Guttenberg told the WENN that “Disney is developing” this and “they’re bringing everybody back.”  He also predicted it will be a “smash hit,” as if audiences are combing their VHS collections and wondering what happen to little Mary Bennington.

Guttenberg didn’t offer any additional details, but presumably the story would pick back up with the three bachelors attending Mary’s wedding for a father(s) of the bride moment.

What about the other 80’s hits?  Guttenberg has you covered.  He wants to return to the Police Academy, make another Cocoon, and he’d like a »

Guttenberg, Danson and Selleck = 'Three Men and a Bride'

4 November 2009 4:45 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

We are now in the age of the 20-year-old sequel. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Wall Street 2, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Beverly Hills Hop 4, The Untouchables: Capone Rising. It hasn't been "too long," it isn't awkward to go back. It'll make you feel young again! Now we've reached the pinnacle of past grabs, as WENN is reporting that Steve Guttenberg, Tom Selleck, and Ted Danson are reuniting for Three Men and a Bride.

"Disney's developing Three Men and a Bride. That's going to be a smash. A smash hit. They're bringing everybody back for that," says Guttenberg. "Nobody knows about it. I'm the first to talk about it."

Guttenberg might just become king of the It's Never To Late To Return! movement, as he dreams of reviving all of his past franchises. "It's definitely time for another Police Academy. And I think they could make another Cocoon. »

Steve Guttenberg Wants to Bring Back The 80s; All of Them

4 November 2009 2:55 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

It's been a long time coming for Steve Guttenberg, or "The Gutt" to his friends. Not surprisingly, Guttenberg is currently in New York working on his next movie. Alright, so that might be surprising. We haven't seen anything Guttenbergian of note since the stellar 1997 family aquatics comedy Zeus and Roxanne. But that is about to change. According to WENN, who interviewed Guttenberg on the set of his next film, Disney is developing another sequel to the 80s hit Three Men and a Baby. He also revealed that it will follow the sequel Three Men and a Little Lady by finding the three guys -- played by Guttenberg, Tom Selleck and Ted Danson -- giving away baby Mary on her wedding day in Three Men and a Bride. Think Fathers of the Bride. After dropping this little bomb, Guttenberg also reached back and talked about bringing back both Police Academy and Cocoon, the »

Steve Guttenberg Talks 3 Men And A Bride

4 November 2009 2:37 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

You know what this world needs? More Steve Guttenberg. It's not like we have enough bad movies each year. We need to reach for that level only Mahoney can deliver. But how can you bring back someone who hasn't be relevant since the 1980s? I know! Make sequels to former film franchises that were bad to begin with! Fortunately, only one person on Earth thinks this way, and that's Steve Guttenberg. But that's not stopping him from talking about it. In an interview with WENN, Guttenberg revealed that Tom Selleck, Ted Danson and himself are getting the ol' band back together for... 3 Men and A Bride, a sequel to 1990's 3 Men and a Little Lady. Now, I know what you're thinking - finally, we can get some closure. But while that bad idea is apparently in motion (thanks Disney!), the man is not satisfied with a simple one-pic comeback. No, »

Steve Guttenberg Talks Up Three Men Sequel: Three Men and a Bride

4 November 2009 10:32 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

Oh Steve Guttenberg... how I want to believe you. It seems that every time the man gets in front of a reporter, blogger or media type person, he can't help but regale them with stories about how his career is about to undergo a massive resurgence. In the past he's talked about another Police Academy sequel (that's part 8, for those keeping count), and he's also hinted at another possible sequel to Three Men and a Baby, with Ted Danson, Tom Selleck, and himself reteaming for another blockbuster comedy. But is there any chance this is true, or is it merely a figment of his imagination? According to WENN [1], Guttenberg is now convinced that Three Men and a Bride is actually happening. Little baby Mary is all grown up now, and Danson, Selleck and Guttenberg will be the ones to give her away at the ceremony. No, seriously. "Disney's developing Three Men and a Bride. »

Three (older) Men and a Not-so Little Lady?

4 November 2009 10:30 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Whatever they call the final film it’s bound to be better than mine…

But hopefully you’ll gather from the title that the 80s has spat out another sequel as the dark forces of Steve Guttenberg, Tom Selleck and Ted Danson converge once again for another Three Men and a… film.

It’s been twenty long years since we last saw Messrs Guttenberg, Selleck and Danson as the lovable commitment phobic men and their Little Lady, itself a sequel to the zeitgeist riding Three Men and a Baby, and though they are usually forgotten in the tidal wave of nostalgia they are pretty sweet, well written films. And I’m all for a revisiting instead of a remake, particularly as we’ve not seen the three amigos for quite some time and they did have a certain chemistry that could make for a watchable sequel.

Not much else is known, »

Guttenberg alert: Disney preps ‘Three Men and a Bride’

4 November 2009 8:20 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Whatever was old is apparently new again as Disney will reunite the cast of Three Men and a Baby for Three Men and a Bride.

“Disney’s developing Three Men and a Bride,” said original star Steve Guttenberg. “That’s going to be a smash. A smash hit. They’re bringing everybody back for that. Nobody knows about it. I’m the first to talk about it.”

1987’s Three Men and a Baby starred Tom Selleck, Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg as bachelor friends forced to raise a baby together after she is left on their doorstep by a desperate mother. The trio reunited three years later for Three Men and a Little Lady.

For Guttenberg, he hopes that studio interest in ’80s films don’t end at Three Men.

“It’s definitely time for another Police Academy. And I think they could make another Cocoon,” says the 51-year-old. “They »

Twenty years later, the men are still having trouble with the baby, except this time she's a grown ass woman getting married. In case you don't remember Three Men And A Baby, or if you were too young to experience this plethora of chest hair, I'll recap for you. The story goes that three friends (Ted Danson, Steve Guttenberg, and Tom Selleck) experience the joy of raising a baby girl after she is left on the doorstep by her Mother (Nancy Travis).

The 'Cheers' gang is having a moment

16 October 2009 11:01 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Ted Danson's dueling gigs on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm and Bored to Death have been delightful, and Shelley Long's kooky cameo on Wednesday's Modern Family triggered a still-rolling avalanche of Cheers nostalgia in our offices. But that's not the half of it. Woody Harrelson has a hit movie (Zombieland) and a serious role in a potential Oscar contender (The Messenger); Kelsey Grammer has another new sitcom (Hank); George Wendt has written a barstool professional's guide to beer; Rhea Perlman was hilarious on a recent episode of HBO's Hung; and Kirstie Alley is just a few pounds (lost or »

Current Ted Danson, Shelley Long love gives us an excuse to post this 'Cheers' clip

On Monday, Annie announced that Ted Danson now owns her Sunday night with HBO's Bored to Death. Earlier today, Slezak praised Shelley Long's hilarious guest turn last night on ABC's Modern Family. Doing the math, I now have a window to post this classic clip of Sam and Diane getting together in the March 1983 season 1 finale of Cheers. Diane's leaving the bar to accompany Sam's brother to Europe. But she returns to Sam's office. I don't want to spoil it if you don't remember how the rest unfolds.

'Bored to Death': Ted Danson now owns my Sunday night

12 October 2009 11:05 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Or at least he's giving Jon Hamm a run for his hard liquor-soaked money. My sudden and unexpected love for HBO's Bored To Death has blossomed in the form of a few tiny blond underarm hairs I'll be letting grow out all season as an homage to Ted Danson's character, George Christopher (pictured). I currently can't decide whether my favorite line from last night's episode, "The Case of the Stolen Skateboard," was Christopher's explanation to Jason Schwartzman's Jonathan that "It's all organic game -- rabbits that have been shot naturally in the woods, that sort of thing" or »

Bored to Death: The Case of the Stolen Skateboard

12 October 2009 9:26 AM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

(S01E04) "I'm almost done. Just three more tugs!" - Ray

After I screened the first three episodes of Bored to Death early last month, I had resigned to not watch it ever again. For the most part, save for Ted Danson's performance, there wasn't much I found funny about the show. Add in last week's weirdo installment featuring Jim Jarmusch and I wasn't sure what to think. Given the premise of the show, last week's episode didn't even feel like the same program. It was like they took a script from something else and just had the Bored to Death ensemble act it out.

But then HBO went and renewed it for a second season and I figured, hey - maybe I'll cover the rest of the season for TV Squad. Well, I'm glad I did. Despite numerous shortcomings, "The Case of the Stolen Skateboard" is easily the »
