Christopher Lloyd Joins John Leguizamo Comedy, ‘Only Fools And Horses’

Wookie Johnson — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:40:29 +0000

Everyone’s favorite creaky-boned actor, Christopher Lloyd, is coming to your television! Maybe!!

Lloyd has joined the pilot for Only Fools and Horses. Based on a British comedy, this remake stars John Lequizamo and Dustin YBarra as two streetsmart brothers who, with the help of their grandfather (Christopher Lloyd), put together crazy and shady get-rich-quick schemes.

It’s about time that Christopher Lloyd did something that showcases his Latino roots. (Deadline)

Jimmy Kimmel Says Goodbye To Uncle Frank

Jame Gumb — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:20:08 +0000

On last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, the titular host paid a tribute to his dearly departed Uncle Frank, who passed away earlier this year. Normally, when I see a man crying on national television I laugh uncontrollably (cause I’m so tough, yo!). But after watching this clip, I couldn’t help but sympathize, which is strange. Why is it that I feel genuinely sorry for the loss of an old man I never met from a show I hardly watch, yet when I poisoned my twin brother and slept with his widow, I felt absolutely nothing? Life’s funny like that.

At any rate, rest in peace, Uncle Frank…and rot in hell, twin brother.

ABC has a whole slew of new shows for you to enjoy or ridicule. Half of them premiere this fall and the other half in the spring. I hope you like comedies that skewer life in suburbia as well as the trials and tribulations of the male persuasion. If nothing else, we get to see Tim Allen grunt again. Oh how I’ve missed his take on manhood. Check out the clips below then move onto the full schedule posted at the bottom.

“Apartment 23″

Krysten Ritter tries to run a poor, innocent Midwestern girl out of her apartment, but finds out that kitty’s got claws. Also, James Van Der Beek plays himself, which is awesome. Put that flannel on, Dawson!

“Suburgatory”

Cheryl Hines and Jeremy Sisto play eccentric parents in suburbia.

“Last Man Standing”

Tim Allen is back, but without Al. But who will cut him down to size now? Oh, maybe his wife.

“Man Up”

In the face of female adversity, men try to find where they left their testicles.

“Work It”

“Bosom Buddies” without Tom Hanks and the other guy. Milton Berle is rolling over in his grave.
