New Shows to Watch For On the Big Networks ... Part 2

NBC

Kath and Kim - Must See TV Thursdays - This show is probably NBC's most hyped about Comedy of the year . It stars Molly Shannon , of SNL Fame , and Selma Blair , as a mother and daughter . Yes , in real life the two could probably be sisters , but this is TV folks anything can happen . The show is an American Version of a popular sitcom that was origonated in Australia . It was a pretty big hit there , so maybe it'll do the same here . Although , back in 2003 , NBC got the rights for the beloved and hysterical hit BBC show Coupling , and it bombed . If I was at NBC I would be very careful with this one, so it's not like Deja-Vu all over again with Kath and Kim . Although , the cast is hysterical , you really can't go wrong with Shannon and Blair , Shannon has always been talented , and Blair is starting to come into her comedic shell nicely .

The Office Spinoff- Title and Slot Tentative - When I first heard about this , I was skeptical . I thought this is just typical NBC . Make a spinoff just when the show is hitting its comedic stride . But then they decided a great marketing strategy . Premiere the Pilot after the Super Bowl. Genuis ! Yet , that didn't stay for long only because a script is still being finalized ,and is still in the beginning stages . But , It's gonna be great . Rumors started to afloat quickly on numerous Office Fan Sites , when NBC first announced it back in the spring . They really want Ed Helm's Character, Andy to be the main focus of the sitcom . I hope it happens . Ed Helms' the man . I went to the Office Convention , and I had a blast . He was hysterical , and you got the feeling that Hollywood hasn't really set in to the actors , and their just along for the ride . And loving every minute . Then , earlier this summer NBC said they are interested in casting Amy Poeheler for the spinoff . I heard that and jumped for joy !

I think she'd be great for this show . She could totally pull it off , and pull in ratings for the show as well . As of July , the only person that is in it is Aziz Anzari , from Human Giant . I liked that choice , but still Amy Poeheler ! That would be great . As Ed Helms' Andy would say A Roo DOO DOO DOO!
