Denis Leary Returns for More Family Meltdowns on FOX’s ‘The Moodys’

March 31, 2021 Ryan Berenz Comedy, Magazine Archive, Preview Comments Off

FOX debuted comedy The Moodys as a holiday limited series in December 2019. Costar Jay Baruchel told us at the time, “If people dig it, we would love nothing more than to keep telling stories with these people.”

People dug it, and Chicago’s Moody family is back for another round of misadventures and failed family bonding in Season 2 of The Moodys beginning with back-to-back episodes Thursday, April 1, at 9pm ET/PT.

Parents Sean Sr. (Denis Leary) and Ann (Elizabeth Perkins), and their three grown kids — Dan (Francois Arnaud), overachiever Bridget (Chelsea Frei) and underachiever Sean Jr. (Baruchel) — are all back under one roof.

Sean Sr. contemplates a retirement road trip, but Ann has no plans of leaving her new psychology practice. Bridget is in the process of getting a divorce and moves back with her folks while her townhouse is being renovated. Dan moves back to Chicago to live with his girlfriend, Cora (Maria Gabriela de Faria), but realizes he’s in too deep in their relationship. And Sean Jr. is right where he wants to be: at home dreaming up doomed business ideas.

May 12, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer TV News & Program Updates Comments Off

At a conference call this morning announcing FOX’s 2014-15 programming schedule, Fox Broadcasting Company chairman of entertainment Kevin Reilly (pictured) said that the network is “eventizing” its entertainment slate. This seems to apply to both closed-ended, actual event series such as Gracepoint (based on the British series Broadchurch), coming this fall, along with midseason’s Wayward Pines, from M. Night Shyamalan, as well as regular series that will be brought out with a bang, like the network’s hyped reality series Utopia, and the much-buzzed-about Batman prequel Gotham.

“Glee” episode tackles driving while texting and bullying

February 22, 2012 Tom Comi Drama, Music Comments Off

Every so often a television show proves it can make an impact on viewers that goes beyond entertainment, and last night’s Glee episode hopefully struck a chord with its younger fans that will ultimately save hundreds of lives. Far too often, the producers and writers of Glee come across as preachy, and whatever message they are trying to send gets lost in the ridiculous plots and lavish musical numbers. That was hardly the case last night. Instead of merely talking about the ramifications of subjects like driving while texting and bullying, we were taken there visually with lasting images that […]
