Fran Drescher: TV Guide News

Rosie Planning a Fran-tastic New Sitcom? | Today's News: Our Take | 2/27/2008
Her recent TV endeavors include very public disputes with cohosts (on The View) and disturbing turns on cable dramas (Nip/Tuck), but now Rosie O'Donnell wants to get back to the ha-has (remember she started in stand-up?), in the form of a new sitcom.According to a video blog posted on Rosie.com, O'Donnell and onetime Nanny Fran Drescher are working on a "fun, happy, family comedy" (as Drescher put it). "Fran and I have a new sitcom, but we can't talk about it, right?" said O'Donnell. Indeed, the Mouth's spokeswoman, Cindi Berger, tells the Los Angeles Times it's "way too premature" to discuss the prospective project, though Ro herself confirmed it to a fan on her site.No word yet on whether Tom Cruise will guest-star. — Nina Hämmerling Smith read more
November 14, 2006: The War at Home | Law & Order: Criminal Intent | 11/15/2006
Best Criminal Intent so far this season, hands down. After a couple of sensational episodes dealing with murdered beauty pageant contestants and murderous country singers, we finally got one with some real feeling. And a Thanksgiving episode, no less, from a franchise not exactly known for spreading around the holiday cheer.For me, the crime was really secondary this time out, so we’ll get to that a little later. The heart of this episode was clearly Goren’s relationship with his cancer-stricken(?) mother, whom I don’t believe we’d met before, but immediately explained a whole lot about what makes the beyond-quirky detective tick.Seeing Goren in plainclothes throughout the episode was strange enough, but watching him be openly emotional, even vulnerable, was something else altogether. However, while at first it was touching to see Goren’s concern for his hospitalized mother — including bailing on an in-progress search to rush back to her bedside —... read more
November 7, 2006: Country Crossover | Law & Order: Criminal Intent | 11/8/2006
Well, tonight's hour makes it two freak-show episodes in a row. After last week’s Liza-fest, this time we got a whole motley crew: a country-punk producer with a fragile spleen, a bouncer who based his life on Batman and Mortal Kombat, and then the usual assortment of cokehead strippers and sleazeball club owners.And while this sideshow act made for an entertaining look into the seedy business that’s birthed recent monstrosities such as Brooke Hogan and Paris Hilton, it wasn’t exactly deeply resonant drama.Miss Western Pennsylvania may have slept with her producer and then had her husband unknowingly off the poor little guy, but she did it all for love. Really. Just like hubby did it all for love — and bragging rights with his tobacco-chewin’ clan back east and assuaging his bruised ego. But for love, too.I didn’t exactly feel anything, but I’ll admit to being surprised when Miss Western PA pled to orchestrating the whole murder. I had pegged the... read more
