Up All Night - NBC's Funny New Take on Modern Parenthood

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.

Music Makes ALL the Difference Between Good & Great Productions

Here is a fine try at the greatest moments in Sports History.  Although it's a much tried effort by editors of all shapes and sizes, this one is powerful and effective.  Why?  Great music.   Music often makes all the difference.  But remember - it's not as easy if you don't have a generous budget to acquire the rights to those legendary songs.  That's when you have to get creative.  But that's not the case with this clip.
