Rhea Pearlman Jokes About Playing Kirstie Alley's Mother-in-Law on 'The Manzanis' (VIDEO)
Rhea Perlman has a lot going on these days. She visited 'Good Day LA' (weekdays, 9 AM PT on Fox) to talk about her upcoming Hallmark Channel movie 'Oliver's Ghost,' in which she plays the neighbor of a boy who moves to the suburbs and sees ghosts. She reassured everyone that it's a family film, but when Steve Edwards asked her if it was too scary for her husband Danny DeVito, she joked, "Danny's very delicate. I have to be careful with him."Perlman was also excited about another upcoming project, a sitcom called 'The Manzanis' where she'll be reuniting with her former 'Cheers' co-star Kirstie Alley. Perlman said her role as Alley's mother-in-law is one she was born to play. When Edwards asked her if they were about the same age, she joked, "I have no idea how old she is and I certainly have no idea how old I am."
'Cheers' Reunion Alert! Rhea Perlman to Co-Star With Kirstie Alley
It's a 'Cheers' reunion on Kirstie Alley's new ABC sitcom!According to Deadline, Rhea Perlman will co-star opposite Alley on 'The Manzanis.'
The new show sees Alley star as Angela Manzani, a very opinionated mother whose family clashes with their new neighbors. Perlman will play Angela's mother-in-law, Camille Manzani.
After 'Cheers' Perlman and Alley shared the screen one other time, in an episode of Alley's Showtime series 'Fat Actress.'
Danny DeVito Talks Horses, Dances in Horse Costume on 'Late Late' (VIDEO)
Before Danny DeVito hit the stage of 'The Late Late Show' (weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS), he gave Craig Ferguson a list of topics he'd be forbidden to bring up. Obviously, by reading the list aloud, the host mentioned them all, and DeVito even elaborated on a couple (like wife Rhea Perlman getting her knee replaced).Ferguson refused to promote DeVito's latest scheme on the show, especially since last time he was hawking a race horse. (Get it?) DeVito then approached the stage in a horse costume and danced with the host. Quite an odd entrance.
Fatal Farm twists the opening credits [NSFW]
Zachary Johnson and Jeffrey Max are two effed up dudes.Before they hit the "viralsphere" with Lasagna Cat, the production team and creative geniuses behind Fatal Farm created an incredibly twisted, brilliantly subversive, and unarguably hilarious series of "alternative intros" parodying the openings to classic sitcoms. No two intros follow the same theme or formula, except to say that they're all unequivocally... Messed. Up.
From blood and guts to go-carts and the hinting of pedophilia, each parody brings with it an innate ability to eviscerate any leftover nostalgia from the sight of, say, the Happy Days jukebox or the beginning chords of the theme to Cheers. (Believe us, you'll never think of Rhea Perlman the same way again.)
Strap in, sit back, and take an incredibly disturbing trip down Memory Lane, courtesy of your friendly tour guides at Fatal Farm:
Cheers: The Animated Series - VIDEO
Do not adjust your web browser. You are now entering the Retro Squad, where we are reviewing past episodes of classic TV shows.
Even when it isn't at its greatest (which, for many fans, hasn't been since season 10) The Simpsons has still provided some great parodies of classic movies and television programs. For instance, in the season four episode "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie" they did a great parody of the Star Trek movie franchise with Star Trek XII: So Very Tired. I still crack up everytime I see the scene where the severely obese Scotty is telling an aged Captain Kirk that he can't push the warp engines any further.
Find out why DeVito stuck around for a third season of It's Always Sunny - VIDEO
We know that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was picked up for a third season, but how did they get Danny DeVito to stick around? The video below explains everything, and if the warnings at the beginning of the video aren't enough, let me tell you upfront that the video is NOT SAFE FOR WORK and contains mature themes.
Tell you what: skip down to the bottom of this post and watch the video first, because I'm going to talk about it and I don't want to ruin any of it for you.
Family Guy: Whistle While Your Wife Works
(S05E05) I'm beginning to think of this as the Brian & Stewie show. Again this week, their story was much better than the Peter story. With Peter's injured hand, the setup was good, but it kind of headed downhill from there. The opening with Quagmire smuggling the fireworks into the country ("Yeah, that's just as fun."), Chris playing David Koresh and the heavy handed FBI agent, and Stewie ignoring Peter's missing fingers while asking for more juice was great. Finally something for Meg to do too.TV Squad Hot Topics
