Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...] the network head of entertainment, John Landgraf, told The A.V. Club that his team was making up for its drama problems by "crushing it in comedy": during the network's recent launch in Canada, the most anticipated FX shows included Louie (an acclaimed mix of stand-up and short comedy films) and Wilfred, a surreal sitcom about a guy in a dog suit. Sitcom makers can choose from the mock documentary style of Modern Family and The Office, the live studio audience format of 2 Broke Girls, the peppy feature-film comedy look of New Girl (from feature writer Liz Meriwether who wrote the movie No Strings Attached for Kutcher), or what Kapnek describes as "the heightened and somewhat stylized look" of Suburgatory's suburban satire.
