THE TVADAM NETWORK (News N'Stuff)

[Adamantium]

This is a channel I'm creating for fan fiction. I'll update it every day. I was having some shows with thirteen episodes and others with twenty-two episodes. I've now changed it. All shows will have just thirteen episodes. The ones that return in the fall will have an order of twenty-two episodes. However, not all of these shows will return. In fact, I'm creating some shows, that I plan to have only one half season. That way in the fall, I can introduce some new shows.

Mondays:
8:00 - "Henry's House"
8:30 - "The Hansons"
9:00 - "Suddenly Dad"
9:30 - "Fireman Mike"

Wednesdays:
8:00 - "The Dustin Diamond Show"
8:30 - "Teachers at Large"
9:00 - "My Prince's Keeper"
9:30 - "Twilight Time"

Fridays:
8:00 - "The Laura Prepon Show"
8:30 - "My Alive Hands"
9:00 - "Spooksville"
9:30 - "Boy in the Big Apple"

I'm really pushing my Monday Night lineup to be the equivalent of NBC's Thurdays during the Seinfeld/Friends days. The only show I'm having trouble working on is "Henry's House," which I have to lead the night.

Here are the listings for this Monday. Come the actual day (as promised) I'll have detailed episode descriptions. This is just what would be in the TV Guide. The post above this was a special. This is just the regular TV Guide descriptions.

Monday: January 30, 2006

8:00pm - Henry’s House
Henry’s House (Pilot) - Henry Richards (Bob Newhart) invites his late son’s best friend Derek (Chris O’Donnell), his former neighbor, scientist Webber (Isaac Lidsky) and his best friend, criminal fugitive Vince (Patrick Warburton) to live in his home. In the pilot, the four men have to get situated .

8:30pm - The Hansons
Meet the Hansons - The series’ premiere finds David’s father Henry (Judd Hirsch) coming to stay with the Hansons for a week, upsetting Kate (Marcia Cross). Meanwhile, David (David Duchovny) and Kate are having marital problems. Realizing this, Henry decides to make his stay permanent to try and save their marriage.

9:00pm - Suddenly Dad
Suddenly Dad (Pilot) - Fifty year old Frank Connors (Gary Cole) is a carefree bachelor and womanizer. The last thing he wants is responsibility. However, that’s exactly what he gets when he meets his 14 year old son, Alex (Jake Thomas). Cleavant Derricks and Greg Kinnear also star in this series.

9:30pm - Fireman Mike
A Fireman Named Mike - Mike Miller is a single fireman, a fact that his father, Sam (Wayne Rogers) hates. When Mike’s brother Jason (Ron Livingston) comes to live with them, Sam sends the two brothers out to “cruise for chicks.” Meanwhile, Brittney Jean (Kaley Cuoco) moves next door.

Anyways, every Saturday, I'll post the show's ratings. So you can know how well they're all doing. And feel free to comment on the episodes.

I'll have to see how the ratings are. i might pair up "Henry's House" with "Twilight Time." That way Bob Newhart could be on the same night as Dick Van Dyke, Adam West, Al Lewis and Don Knotts.

[Adamantium]

Go to TVA for the episodes!

[Adamantium]

I've made the edit. The first episodes of our Monday Night Shows are up.

[vashti1999]

Can't wait to read about the Dustin Diamond Show. At least he's got an interesting cast around him.

[Adamantium]

Can't wait to read about the Dustin Diamond Show. At least he's got an interesting cast around him.

Unfortunately, that's all I've come up with so far. LOL

I'm pretty much just wingin' it for this whole channel.

I will have Dustin maybe a little weird, but no where as weird as Screech. I want to shake that image from him. Even though it's just fan fiction, but I mean in my own mind.

However, "Fireman Mike" was a show I made a LONG time ago. Back when I was like six or seven, I got a fireman helmet. So I made a fake improvised TV show about "Fireman Mike." Mike was my favorite name back then, that's why I went with that. I had my dad play the part of Sam (he didn't really play, I'd just call him Sam whenever I played the show). Because I was a kid, I made some pretty weird storylines. I plan on bringin all those weird storylines into the show. Including Mike waking up married, his shrunken Uncle moving in (played by an action figure). I didn't have many friends. So I took an action figure and pretended like he was my scientist uncle who accidentally shrunk himself and could get back to normal size. He replaced Sam. I don't want to give away TOO much. Just letting you know, I have plans for "Fireman Mike." Everything else, I just come up with as I go along.

[Adamantium]

There's been a huge upset. My network is getting bumped from five nights to just three. I don't like having to do this everyday. So I'll only do it Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Here, now is the new schedule. Some of the shows that are being put on hiatus, will appear on the Summer reruns lineup. So all of these shows will get aired.

For a look at the schedule, I've edited the original post.

[Adamantium]

I'm about to post the Wednesday comedies. Next week, I'll try to post them earlier. Right now, I'm making the episodes on the day they're supposed to air. Hopefully on the weekend, I can write up some episodes for the shows.

"Teacher's at Large" will not air tonight! As I was starting it, I realized it was too much like "The Dustin Diamond Show." So it's going to debut next week, revamped. The show stars Tobey Maguire, Andy Dick, Amy Yasbeck, Kurtwood Smith, Katey Sagal, Ashley Lyn Ca***na and Jeff Conaway. With such a great cast, I want to get the show right before airing any episodes. Thirteen are still planned for this season.

[Adamantium]

Go to TVA for the episodes!

[Adamantium]

I'll give the official ratings list Saturday. But for now, I'm going to report that two shows have had such impressive ratings, that they've been picked up for second seasons.

"The Dustin Diamond Show" & "Twilight Time"

Other shows will get picked up for next season, it's just these two were picked up based on their outstanding pilot ratings.

"Dustin Diamond" News - Guest star, James Franco, will return for a few episodes in the second season. He has already appeared in all thirteen episodes of the first season. Dustin wants to move away from the apartment and focus more in the store, thus, Franco (who plays Diamond's roommate) will be seen less and less.

"Twilight Time" News - Jason Grey-Stanford has signed on to co-star in the sitcom beginning next season. He will play a loyal follower of Angus Dalton (Al Lewis). As of now, he's only signed on for the first six episodes, just to test the waters. But if it proves to be a good addition, he'll stay for the duration of the season (and possibly beyond).

UPDATE: Due to the passing of Al Lewis, Jason Grey-Stanford will come on board next season as another character. His contract is different though. There's no six-episode deal. So he might only appear in one episode, or occassionally throughout the season (if his character is good enough).

[Adamantium]

Here's what's on tonight!

"The Laura Prepon Show"
Laura Prepon (as Laura Colbert)
Ted Danson (as Milton Grayson) - Laura’s Older Boyfriend
Sarah Lancaster (as Tasha Hilton) - Laura’s Best Friend
Billy Aaron Brown (as Ryan Boswell) - Laura’s Neighbor
Cindy Williams (as Cynthia Colbert) - Laura’s Mother

"My Alive Hands"
Martin Spanjers (as Adam Parker)
Christopher Daniel Barnes (as Tom, Adam's Right Hand)
Kathy Griffin (as Sarah, Adam's Left Hand)
Debra Jo Rupp (as Aunt Vicki Parker)
Steven Weber (as Inspector Leech)
Danny DeVito (as Inspector Boyd)

"Spooksville"
James Marsden (as Martin)
Joe Rogan (as Jim)
Patton Oswalt (as Otto)
Ted Levine (as Bart)

"Boy in the Big Apple"
Ben Savage (as Cory Matthews)
Danielle Fishel (as Topanga Matthews)
Rider Strong (as Shawn Hunter)
Will Friedle (as Eric Matthews)
Bianca Lawson (as Christine Boswell)
Dave Foley (as Mr. Abrams)
Jeremy Piven (as Lance Barker)

[Adamantium]

Go to TVA for the episodes!

[Adamantium]

Unfortunately, when we purchased the rights to air "Boy in the Big City", they gave us a syndicated print for the pilot episode. We're working on it and should have the complete uncut episode sometime during the week (perhaps tomorrow). {In reality, I just didn't have time to elongate the episode I had from the BMW fan fic section}

[Adamantium]

I base the ratings on how much fun I had writing the episodes. 100 is the best rating and 1 is the worst. The show's rating is next to it's name.


1: Twilight Time (96)
2: The Dustin Diamond Show (89)
3: The Hansons (87)
4: My Alive Hands (82)
5: Fireman Mike (80)
6: Spooksville (78)
7: Suddenly Dad (74)
8: Henry's House (70)
9: My Prince's Keeper (69)
10: The Laura Prepon Show (60)
11: Boy in the Big Apple (51) - Mostly due to being edited.

So as of right now, "Twilight Time" is the highest rated show on my channel. Wednesdays seem to be dominating the ratings, with the exception of the Dave Foley/Paul Reubens sitcom "My Prince's Keeper." There was a big dropoff from MPK to TLPS. If ratings don't pick up for "Laura Prepon" it will either be cancelled or revamped for next season.

Monday, tune in for brand new episodes of Henry's House, The Hansons, Suddenly Dad & Fireman Mike.

Wednesday, tune in for brand new episodes of The Dustin Diamond Show, (the premiere of) Teacher's at Large, My Prince's Keeper & Twilight Time.

Friday, tune in for brand new episodes of The Laura Prepon Show, My Alive Hands, Spooksville & Boy in the Big Apple.

[Adamantium]

Al Lewis (Angus Dalton) from "Twilight Time" has passed away at the age of 95. :(

He was ill during the show, but was able to work anyways. He has a wooden leg, on the show (in real life, Lewis lost his leg below the knee in 2003). His character wasn't featured as much as the other three guys, but the pilot featured him the most.

Al Lewis already shot all thirteen season one episodes. So he will continue to be in the show for the rest of this season. In the fall, there will be a new "Twilight Time Member" joining the guys, but Lewis' Angus will not be forgotten.

TVAdam: I knew he was older than the rest of the cast, but I've always loved him. I knew he wasn't in the best of health, but I put that aside, because I just felt he could make a great character. Afterall, this is just fan fiction, so I didn't need the real actor to be present or anything.

Jason Grey-Stanford was originally joining the cast next season to be Angus Dalton's follower. He's still on contract, but will come in as another character.

P.S. I'm just writing this here, because I used him as an actor in one of my shows. Obviously, I know he wasn't really in my show.

[Adamantium]

Here's Monday's Listings:

8:00pm - Henry's House
Get a Job - Henry (Bob Newhart) realizes he's suddenly supporting three grown men. So he sends them out, minus Vince, to get jobs. As for Vince (Patrick Warburton), he annoys Henry trying to make up for his lack of work by becoming the housekeeper.

8:30pm - The Hansons
Henry and the Bully - When Kyle comes home from school beaten up by a bully, Henry (Judd Hirsch) goes down to the bully’s house. The bully‘s grandfather, then beats up on HIM! Henry decides to teach Kyle how to box. Meanwhile, Kate (Marcia Cross) gets promoted at work, which forces her to be extremely cranky at home.

9:00pm - Suddenly Dad
Suddenly School - Frank realizes that he has to enroll Alex into school, which he does. Alex soon brings home a group of friends to visit. Meanwhile, Kenneth (Cleavant Derricks) is fired from work and mopes around the house.

9:30pm - Fireman Mike
Getting the Millers Back Together - Mike and Jason’s Mom (Katherine Helmond), who left the family when they were young, returns to start things up again with Sam (Wayne Rogers). Meanwhile, Brittney resorts to stalking Mike.

[Adamantium]

Two shows have already been cancelled! "Teachers at Large," which never even aired. There were too many problems behind the scenes that I pulled the plug. "Boy in the Big Apple," I just don;t feel like writing episodes for real characters anymore. It's like going to direct a sequel. I'd rather stick to shows with Adam-Created characters.

Although only one episode has aired this season, it looks as if Alan Young (Mister Ed) will join "Twilight Time" next season as George Ferguson, a new neighbor. He'll live with his semi-loser grandson, Andrew (Jason Grey-Stanford). Of course, this news comes following the death of series regular Al Lewis, who appears in all 13 season one episodes. However, only the first episode has aired. We wanted another 60's actor, since we had someone from "The Dick Van Dyke Show, Batman, The Andy Griffith Show, The Munsters and now Mister Ed! If (God Forbid) anything happens to Mr. Young, before we start shooting the second season, we'll start the search again, but Jason Grey-Stanford will be playing the replacement's grandson.

With two shows already gone, we are seriously looking at our schedule. For the remainder of this season, Mondays will stay the same. Wednesdays, seems to be our big ratings night, but it only has three shows. Now Fridays has only three shows. "The Laura Prepon Show" will probably not return in the fall, but at least it will air the rest of it's first season.

[Adamantium]

Here's the schedule for the rest of the season.

Mondays:
8:00 - "Henry's House"
8:30 - "Twilight Time"
9:00 - "Suddenly Dad"
9:30 - "Fireman Mike"

Wednesdays:
8:00 - "The Dustin Diamond Show"
8:30 - "My Prince's Keeper"
9:00 - "The Hansons"

Fridays:
8:00 - "The Laura Prepon Show"
8:30 - "My Alive Hands"
9:00 - "Spooksville"

Last minute change in the schedule. I didn't like having two Henry's in one night, so I switched "The Hansons" with "Twilight Time". Next season, I'm gonna make Friday a family night and "The Hansons" will move over there.

[Adamantium]

Here's a little backstory on "Twilight Time."

Darren, Kermit and Harvey are childhood friends. They range from 72 to 75 years old (Darren, 72 / Kermit, 73 / Harvey, 75). They lived in the same neighborhood as Angus, who's twenty years older than them. They knew who he was, but they didn't hang out with him. In his thirties, Angus ran the local teen hangout, where the three teens would spend all their days. From that, Angus became one of their friends. Through the years, the four of them remained best friends. In the 80's, they moved in the same apartment building together. Harvey and Angus live in different apartments on the same floor, yet they're always at Darren's place. In the pilot, Kermit becomes Darren's roommate. Angus is 93 in the show. He's served as their mentor ever since their days at the hangout, even though in recent years, he's become a little senile. The guys still love him.

[Adamantium]

This thread is now just for news. The episodes are on the other thread.

And now, some news.

A "Sliders" reunion will occur in a later season one episode of "Suddenly Dad"! Jerry O'Connell, John Rhys-Davies and Sabrina Lloyd will guest star as Kenneth Jones' (Cleavant Derricks) co-workers. The episode will air in a few weeks.

[Adamantium]

A ballgame has pushed tonights shows to tomorrow. Sorry.

(In real life, I'm just not in the mood to write up the episodes.)
