I'm sure Kelsey and Patricia are very happy right now, but not half as happy as our own Brian Damage.

Mr. Television · 05-16-2009, 12:30 PM

That's great news. I just hope they get good timeslots.

I can confirm this also. I just hope Romantically Challenged is picked-up next. So many good comedies at ABC this season.

And that's what I like to hear. Let's get tv back on track with real actors and real writing. I've had it with "Reality TV" and all these stupid elimination shows.

YES! YES! YES!

Ty Burell's sitcom has been picked up too! Isn't his sitcom called "Modern Family?"

Plus with Josh Gad going to the Daily Show, it seems almost all our regular BTY cast haven't had problems getting steady work. Fred Willard still pops up everywhere, which leaves Ayda Field. What's the lastest with her??

Ayda Field has moved to England with her superstar boyfriend Robbie Williams and seems pretty settled there. Don't know if she's still trying to get new roles. You can read about it here http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...cle2355332.ece or in his blog on his official website http://www.robbiewilliams.com .
