The new eight-episode, half-hour SHOWTIME comedy series SMILF is a raw, honest look at the life of a 20-something single mom from quadruple threat Frankie Shaw. The series takes a comedic look at the life of Bridgette Bird (Shaw), a young Boston Southie whose desires for relationships, sex, and a career collide with the realities of working class single motherhood. Shaw brings her singular, unapologetic point of view as star, writer, executive producer and director of the semi-autobiographical comedy series. The cast includes multiple Emmy(R) winner Rosie O'Donnell in her first series regular TV role as Bridgette's prideful, outspoken Southie mother, along with Miguel Gomez, Samara Weaving, and Alexandra and Anna Reimer. Guest stars include Emmy and Golden Globe(R) nominee Connie Britton, Mark Webber and Raven Goodwin. Executive producing alongside Shaw are Oscar(R) nominee Michael London, Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, and Scott King. Series producer Janice Williams also executive produced the pilot.

In SHAMELESS, Golden Globe nominee Emmy Rossum stars opposite William H. Macy, nominated for four consecutive Emmy Awards and winner of the 2017 Screen Actors Guild(R) Award for his role as Frank Gallagher. Rossum plays Fiona, the eldest of six fierce and independent Gallagher kids who support each other while absentee father, Frank, spends his time scheming his way around the South Side of Chicago. Season eight finds the Gallaghers on an upswing - Frank comes out of a drug-induced haze and decides it's finally time to be a contributing member of society, while Fiona faces hard decisions when she discovers her success as a landlord may mean someone else's misfortune. Lip (Jeremy Allen White) struggles with unexpected sacrifices he must make to stay sober, while Ian (Cameron Monaghan) takes up a cause in hopes of getting back with Trevor. Debbie (Emma Kenney) builds her future at welding school while juggling life as a single working mom, as Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) gets creative finding tuition money after he loses his scholarship. Meanwhile, Liam (Christian Isaiah) discovers just how different the Gallaghers are from the families of his rich classmates as Frank schools him on "sticking it to the man." Kev (Steve Howey) and V (Shanola Hampton) have to find a way to deal with Svetlana (Isidora Goreshter) after she steals their bar, The Alibi. This season of SHAMELESS features new recurring guest stars Jessica Szohr as Fiona's tenant, Nessa, and Farah Tahir as Frank's new boss, Adeeb. Season eight also welcomes back returning recurring guest stars Elliot Fletcher as Trevor, Ruby Modine as Sierra and Scott Michael Campbell as Brad.

Guy Fieri Is on a Mission to Find Food Network's Next Big Food-Road Show on All-New "Guy's Big Project"

Guy Fieri Is on a Mission to Find Food Network's Next Big Food-Road Show on All-New "Guy's Big Project"
The six-episode journey begins on Sunday, November 5 at 9:00/8:00c.
[via press release from Food Network] GUY FIERI IS ON A MISSION TO FIND FOOD NETWORK'S NEXT BIG FOOD-ROAD SHOW ON ALL-NEW "GUY'S BIG PROJECT"
NEW Series Premieres Sunday, November 5th at 9pm ET/PT

New York - September 29, 2017 - Guy Fieri has visited thousands of restaurants on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, literally putting food-road shows on the map. Now, Guy is searching for Food Network's next big culinary-travel series. After receiving and sorting through thousands of submissions from hopeful hosts with promising concepts, Guy and his team of food and television experts narrowed it down to a final group of prospects that will vie to have their idea developed into a show on Guy's Big Project. The six-episode journey begins on Sunday, November 5th at 9pm ET/PT and documents every twist and turn as the prospects move from initial pitch through development to network review, to the ultimate end goal - the premiere of a new show on Food Network.

"Over a decade ago I was given a chance that I could never have dreamed of on Food Network Star, and now I'm honored to have the opportunity to help make someone else's dream a reality," said Fieri. "As a producer, I know what it takes to get a show off the ground, and we will see if these prospects have the passion and skills needed, because a great idea is just the first step."

"Guy's Big Project invites viewers behind-the-scenes to see how a series goes from a passionate idea to a reality on-air," said Courtney White, Senior Vice President Programming, Scripps Networks Interactive. "Guy's betting on not only identifying the next big idea for the network, but he's also committed to doing everything needed to help the prospects succeed."

Guy and his team of experts including Food Network's Alex Guarnaschelli and veteran television producer Mark Dissin, are taking the most promising prospects out on the road to see who has what it takes to be a success. The journey begins with the finalists picking a restaurant that best represents them and their show idea, where they film a pitch video to convey what their show would be about. Then, the pressure heats up as they whip up a meal in Guy's personal kitchen that embodies their idea. One prospect will find the feedback hard to chew and will be sent home.
 
As the season progresses, the prospects are put through the paces by Guy and his team, learning that there is a lot more to hosting a food-television show than a passion for food and cooking skills. From describing each bite of food in order to convey the flavors, aromas and textures, to engaging the audience while eating and interviewing a wide variety of chefs, there is a lot to digest especially when your hopes and dreams are on the line.

On the finale on Sunday, December 10th at 9pm ET/PT, the remaining prospects each shoot a pilot employing all the skills they learned from the previous weeks. After submitting their tapes to the network, they must wait to hear the decision. Immediately following the finale, at 10pm ET/PT, viewers will find out who made the cut as they get a sneak peek of the winner's series!
The prospects include: Mark Anderson (Boise, Idaho) together with Ryan Fey (Los Angeles, California), Zane Caplansky (Toronto, Canada), Sharon Damante (Napa, California) together with Sherri Williams (Crestview, Florida), Christian Gill (Cincinnati, Ohio), Lindsay Greene (Atlanta, Georgia), Rashad Jones (Ocala, Florida), Dariany Santana (Kenilworth, New Jersey), and Vincenzo Vaccaro (Astoria, New York).

Fans can get an insider's look at the making of Guy's Big Project with behind-the-scenes photos of Guy and the prospects, as well as bonus videos and recipes inspired by the show at FoodNetwork.com/GuysBigProject. To join the conversation on social media use #GuysBigProject.

NBC Orders a Second Season of Its Summer Comedy "Marlon"

NBC Orders a Second Season of Its Summer Comedy "Marlon"
By The Futon Critic Staff (TFC)

image: http://thefutoncritic.com/images/shows/marlon.jpg
LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- NBC has issued a second season order to its summer entry "Marlon."

The news was confirmed via a network spokesperson this afternoon:
This past summer, the 9 p.m. edition of "Marlon" averaged a 1.5 rating in adults 18-49 and 5.6 million viewers overall in "live plus seven day" ratings from Nielsen Media Research, making it the summer's #1 new scripted series on the Big 4 networks in 18-49 and total viewers. "Marlon" concluded its season on Sept. 13 by matching the show's "live plus same day" season highs with both its 9 p.m. and 9:30 telecasts.

Loosely inspired by the real life of star Marlon Wayans ("In Living Color," "Scary Movie"), this update to the classic family comedy centers on a loving (but sometimes inappropriate) father committed to co-parenting his two kids with his very-together ex-wife. While his misguided fatherly advice, unstoppable larger-than-life personality and unpredictable Internet superstardom might get in the way sometimes, for Marlon family really always does come first - even if he's the biggest kid of all.

The cast includes Marlon Wayans, Essence Atkins, Bresha Webb, Diallo Riddle, Notlim Taylor and Amir O'Neil.

Christopher Moynihan serves as writer and executive producer. Marlon Wayans, Rick Alvarez and Michael Rotenberg also executive produce. "Marlon" is produced by Universal Television, Bicycle Path Productions, Baby Way Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment.

AXS TV IS "SHAKIN" THINGS UP WITH LEGENDARY MUSICIAN EDDIE MONEY AND HIS FAMILY, AS THE NETWORK GREENLIGHTS NEW REALITY SERIES "REAL MONEY" (WT)

The Series Takes a Hilarious and Heartfelt Look at the Money's Unconventional Dynamic, as They Live, Laugh, Bicker and Rock All Under One Roof

Los Angeles, CA (September 28, 2017) - AXS TV, the premier destination for classic rock programming, has greenlit a new 10-episode reality series, "Real Money," (WT) following the daily lives of multi-platinum rock legend Eddie Money and his family. The series begins production today and will include candid moments with Money as he deals with the struggles and joys of life at home with his wife, eight pets, and five wild and talented children. The series is as honest and open as it is heartfelt and hilarious, capturing every moment of the family's unique dynamic as they live, laugh, bicker, and rock under one roof.

With a legendary career spanning over 40 years, Eddie Money has long-established himself as one of rock's most beloved entertainers. After leaving his native Brooklyn for the Berkeley music scene in the 1970s, Money quickly rose to fame on the strength of a slew of successful albums and Top 40 hits including "Take Me Home Tonight," "Shakin'," "Think I'm In Love," "Baby Hold On," and many more. Now, at 68 years old, Money continues to tour across the country with his band, which includes three of his equally talented offspring.

Money is joined on the show by his wife of over 30 years, Laurie, who tirelessly works to keep the peace and keep everyone on schedule; as well as his children/bandmates including his singer-songwriter son Dez, who writes and produces his own music, opens for his dad and plays guitar in his father's band; son Julian, who plays the drums; and fiery songstress Jesse, the couple's only daughter, who Eddie compares to blues siren Janis Joplin. Rounding out the cast is Eddie's son Joe, a gifted guitarist who eschewed his father's rock roots in favor of making his own pulsing dubstep beats; and Eddie's eldest child, Zach, who helps run the family business when his dad and siblings are out on the road.

"Following the success of our original series Rock & Roll Road Trip with Sammy Hagar - which gives viewers a unique glimpse at a new rock icon each week - we wanted to expand our lineup with another high-quality show that would resonate with our audience in the same way," said Evan Haiman, AXS TV's Vice President of Music Programming and Production. "'Real Money' is that perfect complement, taking fans inside the world of one of the hardest-working men in rock, and putting the spotlight on a fun and fascinating family dynamic that is as entertaining as it is heartwarming."

On producing the new reality series, Eddie Money said, "We may not be the typical cookie-cutter family, but we have a strong sense of love and loyalty for each other that really shines through. It's real, and it's something I think everyone can relate to. We're excited to share our lives with America, as they join us on this wild ride. I've only got two tickets to paradise, but I'm taking everybody!"
"Real Money" is produced by Enchanted Media with Victoria Levy, MJ Schirmer, and Shelley Storm as executive producers, in collaboration with executive producers Dina LaPolt, Steve Longo, Eddie and Laurie Money, and in association with Red Arrow Industries, executive producers Danny Downing and Ryan Hardison.

[via press release from Skydance Television] Skydance Television Forms Multi-Year Overall Agreement with Award-Winning Writer-Producers Patrick Massett and John Zinman

Duo Set as Showrunners for First-Ever Live Action TV Series Based on Sword Art Online
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Skydance Television today announced that it has augmented its growing roster of creative talent by entering into a multi-year overall agreement with award-winning writer-producers Patrick Massett and John Zinman (Friday Night Lights, The Blacklist, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider).

The studio currently has several projects in development with the pair, including the first-ever live action television series for Sword Art Online (SAO), the massive Japanese novel and anime franchise to which Skydance acquired the global rights last year. Massett and Zinman will serve as writers, showrunners, and executive producers on the Skydance series. Together with Massett and Zinman, Laeta Kalogridis (Avatar, Altered Carbon) will write the pilot episode and serve as an executive producer on the SAO series alongside David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Marcy Ross. Kalogridis, who has an exclusive overall deal at Skydance, first introduced the studio to the property and the world of SAO.

"Patrick and John have shown incredible range in their storytelling capabilities, from subtle character drama to big, world-building action, and we are beyond fortunate that they have joined the Skydance family," said Skydance Television President Marcy Ross. "We're already deep in development with Patrick, John, and Laeta on our larger than life Skydance SAO series, in which we aim not only to satisfy the franchise's enthusiastic sci-fi and anime fan base but also to appeal to new TV audiences the world over."

"The fantastical world of SAO offers an unparalleled opportunity to tell stories that resonate on both an epic and human scale. We couldn't ask for better partners than Skydance and Laeta to help us bring this global pop culture phenomenon to new life on television," said Massett and Zinman in a joint statement.

Skydance's SAO series will follow brilliant young beta tester Kirito and his group of friends when they are trapped, along with 10,000 other people, in a next-generation virtual reality online role-playing game filled with swordfighting, monsters, and mystery.

Massett and Zinman's television careers began with Veritas: The Quest at ABC, which they co-created and executive produced before going on to co-executive produce the Emmy(R) Award winning Friday Night Lights at NBC, The Chicago Code at FOX, and Last Resort at ABC. The duo then co-executive produced The Blacklist at NBC. Their most recent television credit includes executive producers and showrunners at NBC's The Player. The pair got their start in film by co-writing Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and their most recent film, Gold was released in January 2017. Their films Resistance and Sea of Thunder are currently in pre-production.

Skydance Television's current slate includes six series across nearly as many networks. Skydance has recently entered into overall and first-look deals with some of the industry's top talent, including Sam Raimi, Marti Noxon, Laeta Kalogridis, Michael B. Jordan, Bonnie Curtis, and Julie Lynn.

    SHOTS FIRED is a 10-hour event series that examines the dangerous aftermath of two racially charged shootings in a small Southern town, providing an explosive autopsy of our criminal justice system. When JOSHUA BECK (Mack Wilds, "The Wire"), an African-American Sheriff's deputy, kills an unarmed white college student, a small town in North Carolina is turned upside-down. Before the town has a chance to grapple with this tragedy, the neglected murder of an African-American teen is brought to light, opening wounds that threaten to tear the community apart.

    Leading the Department of Justice's inquiry into these shootings is seasoned investigator ASHE AKINO (Sanaa Lathan, "The Perfect Guy," "Love and Basketball") and a young Special Prosecutor, PRESTON TERRY (Stephan James, "Race," "Selma"), both of whom are African-American. As they start to peel back the layers of both cases, they suspect a cover-up that may involve some of the state's most powerful people, including fiercely political North Carolina Governor PATRICIA EAMONS (guest star Academy-, Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress Helen Hunt, "As Good As It Gets," "The Sessions"). She's in a tough re-election fight, and the recent shootings in her state are making it even tougher.

    Meanwhile, real estate mogul and owner of a privatized prison ARLEN COX (Academy- and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss, "The Goodbye Girl," "Jaws," "Madoff"), is pulled into the volatile debate over policing in the town, and LT. CALVERT BREELAND (Stephen Moyer, "The Bastard Executioner," "True Blood"), a seasoned veteran in the Sheriff's Department, gets caught in the middle of the investigation. As Ashe and Preston navigate the media attention, public debate and social unrest that come with such volatile cases, SHOTS FIRED tackles the racial divide from every seat in the house.
This past spring, Fox aired this 10-episode "event series" (mini-series). Now Amazon.com has begun accepting pre-orders for Shots Fired on DVD. This listing is prior to the official Fox Home Entertainment announcement for the item, though, so instead of a street date Amazon merely says "This title has not yet been released. You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives."

Pricing is available, however, at $39.98 SRP. There are no other details available so far at Amazon's entry, nor package art (just a temp image based on the show's logo). Stay tuned, of course, and we'll update you further on this title just as soon as we find out more!
