Laugh Break: SESAME STREET Attends “SpiderMonster, The Musical”
Summer Scoop: Skyler Samuels and Amy Pietz, Grey Damon and Benjamin Stone Preview THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING
On THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING, Skyler Samuels portrays Chloe King and Amy Pietz plays her mother, Meredith King.
How would you describe this show in comparisons to other shows?
Skyler: I don’t think I could compare CHLOE KING to any other TV show or movie. It’s kind of its own special package. In an hour, you get drama, you get romance, you’ll laugh. It’ll leave you on the edge of your seat. So it’s got a little bit of everything and it’s like the most perfect balance you could want.
Amy: I totally agree. I try to explain it to my friends using a little something more that they can relate to. Sometimes I use BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, and there’s a little GILMORE GIRLS mixed in there. But Skyler’s right. It’s really balanced. It has romance and it has action — and the action is what really turned me on the most about the show — and it’s funny.
Skyler: It is fun watching the action sequences — not only because it is a girl kickin’ butt — but it’s very inspirational for women to watch and feel empowered. It’s funny too because Chloe always bites off more than she can chew. She’ll say ‘oh, I can take you’ to the villain — only he’s like 200 pounds and who’s like 6’4” and I’m like this little scrawny girl whose got to fight the bad guy. It’s also funny because sometimes in the middle of things, Chloe will do funny things or she’ll make jokes. She’s always got that clever wit which kind of makes the action portion fun and funny to watch.
Amy: And I love how the female emphasis on the show is healthy. There is a good relationship between Chloe and her mother and Chloe and her best friends. They’re not talking about money and sex all the time – it’s not GOSSIP GIRL. It’s something I would allow my daughter to watch and be proud of it. I’m not embarrassed by it. It’s an ABC Family show. I am proud of this show.
Skyler: And it’s a very realistic portrayal of what a 16-year old girl would be experiencing and that might sound funny because there are all these supernatural elements, but that’s kind of what makes the show work. There’s this practical aspect. She’s trying to figure out who she is, how to talk to a boy, how to maintain a relationship with her two best friends, and how to talk to her mom. Dating or putting away laundry, all the usual things and at the same time she discovers that being a teenager just wasn’t enough. She’s got this added factor — these supernatural abilities that she has and because of that, it’s kind of a fantastical way to look at how a teenage girl lives — having to deal with all these things and becoming a young woman.

5 Lessons Every Award Show Can Learn From the 65th Annual Tony Awards
Despite a list of nominees almost completely foreign to this TV Addict, who is embarrassed to admit how long it has actually been since we hit up the Big Apple, last night’s Tony Awards served as a blueprint for television’s seemingly never-ending parade of kudofests. But how did they pull it off? Well, as a public service to those of us who are still smarting from the five-or-so hours we’ll never get back as a result of last February’s Anna Hathaway/James Franco hosted Oscar telecast, we’ve compiled 5 lessons every Award show can (and should) learn from the 65th Annual Tonys Awards telecast.
Hire the Host with the Most
Between his pitch perfect opening number (“Broadway! It’s not just for gays [and jews] any more”) to his closing rap recap that rolled over the credits, second-time Tony host Neil Patrick Harris didn’t just steal the show, he set a new bar for Award show hosting. Jane Lynch, it’s your move. [Read more…]
