Cheer up, kids … It will be Sunny in Philadelphia again!
I was beginning to wonder whether FX had somehow given up on, in my book, its two best shows in the blissfully disgusting “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and the motorcycle gang drama “Sons of Anarchy.” Well, thankfully, apparently not.
Instead, it seems they’re just moving them to the fall to take on the networks, and with shows that good, why not?
First up will be “Sons of Anarchy,” which stars Charlie Hunnam, Katey Segal and Ron Perlman and will move to Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. beginning Sept. 8. whether you like intense TV dramas I can’t recommend that one high adequate, and with Adam Arkin and Henry Rollins coming up as guests in season two, it can only get better.
“Sunny,” which has made an art of piggybacking on NBC’s Thursday night comedy lineup, will do so again, timing its fifth season to start at 10 p.m. Sept. 17, the same night that “The Office” and other NBC shows compose their return. Season five will be 12 episodes, which means they’re already contracted for at least another 27 after that. Bring it on!
And in a final, odd TV note, Alia Shawkat, the extremely funny Maeby Funke on “Arrested Development” has somehow ended up in the cast of the upcoming biopic about the Runaways. Take a second to ingest that one.
I can’t say I see any way that will be terribly good, but it at least looks like there’s no way it will be boring. So, with video director Floria Sigismondi at the helm, here’s the band roster
And to round it out today, here’s a couple of pretty good clips, one of which comes from the so far very funny viral marketing campaign for Judd Apatow’s next flick, “Funny public,” scheduled to drop July 31. They seem to be giving a Web site and fake career to even the most minor of characters, and Aziz Ansari is the latest to get the treatment.
You may know him for his work on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” but that is something completely different, a standup comedian that gleefully revels in the lowest common denominator. So, of course his Web site, where you can watch several rather seriously not safe for work clips, is called Laugh Your Dick Off.
I’ve included here a clip of him performing as the character, Randy, at Athens, GA.’s fabulous 40 Watt club, describing how he likes to freak out CVS employees. Enjoy.
And finally, here’s the trailer for a new Steven Soderbergh flick coming in September that I have to confess I had never heard of until seeing that clip. Starring Matt Damon, it’s called “The Informant” and appears to be a screwball comedy about corporate espionage, which all sounds good to me. Enjoy, and have a perfectly passable Wednesday. Peace out.
