ABC Is Developing a Meta Family Sitcom from Modern Family’s Danny Zuker
(via Deadline)
It’s being touted as a Larry Sanders Show for family sitcoms, which is a welcome change of pace.
Veteran sitcom writer Danny Zuker not only works on Modern Family, one of the most critically and commercially successful comedies on TV right now, but is now developing his own sitcom that shows a TV family and the not-so-rosy underbelly of that same family in real life called Family Show.
While you get to see a bit of that on shows like BoJack Horseman, seeing a high concept like that at ABC, where Modern Family happens to also be, is very intriguing to see.
Luckily, it has a put pilot commitment and we’ll get to see what Zuker is cooking up.
Watch a Really Fun Trailer For Meta Horror Comedy “The Final Girls”
Do not confuse this with the recent thriller Final Girl.
The Final Girls, from director Todd Strauss-Schulson and writers M.A. Fortin and Joshua John Miller, looks a damn good time that both celebrates and simultaneously pokes fun at the genre tropes of so many cheesy horror movies from decades past.
From the looks of it, the cast of Thomas Middleditch, Alia Shawkat, Malin Akerman, Adam Devine, Angela Trimbur, Nina Dobrev, and Taissa Farmiga bring the crazy premise of being transported into a cheesy horror movie and trying to survive really well.
See what could be a very welcome load of wonderful madness in the trailer for The Final Girls here.

“Dre” (Andre Hyland) Interviews Andre Hyland For His Short Film Sundance
We’d put money on the hilarious Andre Hyland interviewing himself as a character in promotion of his short film Funnel screening at The Sundance Film Festival better than most interviews at Sundance.
Unfortunately, I don’t think there are any bookies that would take a bet like that.
Grant Pardee Thought He Wasn’t in An Internet Sketch…
You probably watch so many internet sketches, web videos, etc. that it’s feasible that your whole reality has been altered and you wouldn’t know the difference.
Or maybe that’s just what happened to Grant Pardee one day (this is the part where you watch)…
Brody Stevens on Brody Stevens on Push and Believe with Brody Stevens
CC:Studios’ Push and Believe with Brody Stevens was released earlier this year in tandem with their half hour specials.
One episode that didn’t get release until now was one with Brody Stevens and Brody Stevens. That wasn’t a typo. Brody interviews himself on his own show, which actually seems normal and, of course, hilarious and perfect for his series airing now on Comedy Central on Sunday nights, Enjoy It!
