Doctor turned actor/comedian Ken Jeong (Community, The Hangover), plays Dr. Ken, a brilliant physician with no bedside manner. He is always trying to be a good doctor, as well as a good husband and dad to his two kids. However, these good intentions have a way of driving everyone crazy at both work and at home. Luckily, his therapist wife Allison is just the right partner to keep things sane.

“THE MUPPETS”
“The Muppets” return to prime time with a contemporary, documentary-style show that, for the first time ever, will explore the Muppets’ personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, break-ups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires; a more adult Muppet show, for kids of all ages.

Ew The Muppets. I dont know what people see in those things. I always hated them D:
ReplyDeleteThe Muppets? It's like time warping my childhood. Thankfully Chevy isn't picked up yet to complete the nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteYay for The Real O'Neals !
ReplyDeleteOkay, I at least have to check out The Muppets. They were my childhood.
ReplyDeleteNot really excited by any of those, I want the NBA comedy picked up!
ReplyDeleteRight?! I kinda like it haha. It's such a thrill ride.
ReplyDeleteAll passes for me
ReplyDeleteAnd hopefully Beaker, he's my fave!
ReplyDeleteSo do I
ReplyDeleteCan't keep up and everything seems to include a surprise.
ReplyDeleteIf it doesnt, Ballers looks fun: http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/04/11/ballers-trailer-video-the-rock-dwayne-johnson-hbo-series/
ReplyDeleteWhen I start reading the comments, another show gets renewed, cancelled, picked up, and passed.
ReplyDeleteI feel like there's no reason for Dr. Ken to be a thing.
ReplyDeleteYay for "The Muppets"! Always loved them and the new spin sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteThe Muppets could be good but the other two look like flops
ReplyDeleteOkay, Fox, you're up. Tell me you've got Day 10 of 24 for me next summer.
ReplyDeleteEh The Muppets spin is the only thing that interests me in this bit of news.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they both look terrible. One of them is probably the sacrificial lamb they'll put on after Last Man Standing...
ReplyDeleteThe Real O'Neals sounds terrible but it has Martha Plimpton so I am obligated to check it out. Dr. Ken is a pass likely since I'm always going to see him as Chang and I can't stand Chang.
ReplyDeleteProbably Dr. Ken
ReplyDeleteThe Real O'Neals actually may have potential from what I read of the script. Nothing amazing, but I could see it finding a fanbase.
Cristela cancelled
ReplyDeleteThe Muppets was a given, but it's still exciting.
ReplyDeleteNo one is shocked with that one
ReplyDeleteOooh, good to know. It's always hard to tell from a description so I do try to keep an open mind. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't know if I should stay and follow all the news or go and watch Pitch Perfect 2 soon
ReplyDeleteugh
Decisions
Yep, just the official announcement
ReplyDeleteMartha Plimpton is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHeck with The Real Oneils. Didn't we just do this with the McCarthys?
ReplyDeleteIn the words of Fat Amy "Uh Better Not" ;)
ReplyDeleteYou must be going to a special screening of that thought that didn't come out till next week.
ReplyDeleteReality show Muppets?
ReplyDeleteIt started 2 days ago in Australia :)
ReplyDeleteResurrection cancelled
ReplyDeleteVariety saying Agent Carter renewed.
ReplyDeleteOMG that would be EXCELLENT.
ReplyDeleteAgent Carter, American Crime, Castle, Nashville, Fresh Off the Boat, Blackish... every other show they have and will ever have renewed: https://tvline.com/2015/05/07/abc-renewals-2015-castle-nashville/
ReplyDeleteOf course ABC waited till I was too busy watching Scandal to announce everything... So was Chevy passed on?
ReplyDeleteDon't know yet. Not picked up yet.
ReplyDeleteYES for more childhood nostalgia!! XD
ReplyDeleteAnd GONZO and ANIMAL!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know right!! So much awesomeness. I cannot wait :) I loved reboot The Muppets movie that came out a couple years ago and all there other stuff.
ReplyDeleteHere for the Muppets.
ReplyDeleteMaybe on Dr.Ken
And I will at the very least sample the Real O'Neals because of Martha.
I've loved her since The Goonies and Running on Empty. She made Raising Hope for me along with Garret Dillahunt.
ReplyDeleteIt's time to play the music. It's time to light the lights t's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight I'm an adult and yet the Muppets show is the one I'm looking forward to the most!
ReplyDeleteThink they'll try out the Muppets as a lead in with Galavant during the OUAT break.
ReplyDeleteThat would be such a fun schedule!
ReplyDeleteI think that is what they are going for. But we'll have to wait till Tuesday to find out.
ReplyDeleteYay for The Real O'Neals! I really wanted that to get picked up! If Blackish moves to possible Tuesday, then this should be the comedy that takes the post Modern spot.
