Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 03:36PM The fledgling sitcom Up All Night could be one of the big new winners of the Fall TV Season. Some role reversal puts Christina Applegate as the outlandish, working mom who is teamed up with Will Arnett (Arrested Development) as her stay at home dad/man. The show has strong TV lineage -- created by Emily Spivey (Parks & Recreation) and Executive Produced by Lorne Michaels. A major publicity push should get the show lots of buzz and a good first look then its up to the team to deliver. Could be big? Like all comedy, it's all about the funny stuff. With a four and a half minute promotion like this one, you get a good feel for some of the best stuff the pilot has to offer.
Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 12:35PM It's a good combination for a comedy commercial - a croc and a golf course. Australian's can still make liquor TV commercials, so presumbably they spend some real dough for their commercials. Here's a wacky spot called Favourable Lie from the folks at Bundaberg Rum.
Tuesday, March 15, 2011 at 11:39AM Here's an intriguing cross promotion of a comedy program and eating... set in a Denny's. Branded content gets no clearer when the set is in a Denny's restaurant. Arrested Development fans should get a kick out of this launch episode, all three + minutes of it. Jason Bateman and Dave Kochener have at it in a booth at a Denny's. It's pretty funny, but it's hardly a belly grabbing, gasping, out of breath comedic ten. Funny male bits talking about space, and obsession and expression. Future guests of Kocheners are said to include: Sarah Silverman, Kristen Bell, Amy Poehler, Will Arnett and Will Forte.
