Up All Night
For some reason I can’t download a preview from YouTube so I’m just going to give you the summary from NBC:
“Up All Night,” created by Emily Spivey (NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” and “Saturday Night Live”) and executive produced by Lorne Michaels (NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock”), is an irreverent look at modern parenthood.
Christina Applegate (“Samantha Who?”) stars as Reagan Brinkley: loving wife, successful career woman, life of the party and, most recently, mom. Determined not to compromise her career or cool reputation to the cliches of motherhood, Reagan adjusts to life with a baby and returns to work with the support of her stay-at-home husband, Chris (Will Arnett, “Arrested Development”). As Reagan and Chris figure out their new life, self-doubt, sleep deprivation and the pressure of today’s parenting protocols rattle their confidence. What’s more, the endless needs of Reagan’s boss, ambitious but vulnerable talk-show host Ava (Maya Rudolph, “Saturday Night Live,” “Bridesmaids”), threaten to throw Reagan off balance.”
I have to be honest. I think this show looks terrible but I am completely in love will Will Arnett and Christina Applegate so I have to give it a try. If for no other reason than to see them swear uncontrollably (bleeped out of course).
I am a huge Arrested Development fan and I thought Samantha Who? was so cute and funny and refreshing. Both of them cancelled way before they should have been. I’m not sure this is the show that’s going to stick for either of them but dealing with the struggles of a newborn in a comedy could come together. Even as I’m writing that I don’t believe it. Don’t believe it at all. I predict crash and burn, but I would love to be wrong. (Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, SNL influences. I hope I’m just missing something here.) Please prove me wrong!
Loved this quote from jwicklun on YouTube: Oh, the guy in the $10,000 suit is going to change a diaper for a baby who doesn’t even make that in a year. C”MON.
Up All Night airs Wednesday, September 14 at 8pm MT.
Here’s a link to the preview on YouTube.
