Yeah, More Sitcoms
Big Day: Pilot
The best 24 rip-off since 24 first aired. This show is a comedy that takes place in more or less real time, starting at 8am the morning of a wedding. Alice played by the still hot Marla Sokoloff, is getting married to Danny played by Josh Cooke, formerly of Committed and Four Kings.
Wendie Malick is the mom and the best part of the show, another great character is the ex-boyfriend. Apparently everything that can go wrong in a wedding will go wrong. The best man is now legally blind after a one night stand with the brides sister who drank his contacts. One of the groomsman is in love with the groom and the father hates his soon-to-be son-in-law.
Stephnie Weir of MadTV fame plays the wedding planner who tries to referee the mom and Alice.
While I say never judge a show by it's pilot I still have hope this one will stay funny. Too bad it's on a terrible time Tuesdays at 9pm ET on ABC.

I wouldn't call it a 24 ripoff so much as execution of the original 24 idea. 24 was originally supposed to be about the day of a wedding in real time, so this is the original concept.
ReplyDeleteIt would've been nice to see Jack Bauer trying to stop the wedding cake from being served because it contained anthrax.
