Trailer: Carol Burnett’s New Netflix Series

Posted on August 1, 2017 at 2:04 am

Comedy legend Carol Burnett is coming to the world’s leading internet TV network in 2018 with the original unscripted comedy A Little Help with Carol Burnett. Carol and her guests panelists — four to eight-year-olds will reveal how a different generation solves life’s biggest dilemmas.

In each of the 12 half-hour episodes, both celebrities and everyday people will bring their real-life issues to a gaggle of kids who dish back hilarious, hard-hitting guidance–all in front of a live studio audience.

“Someone once asked me how old I am inside,” said Burnett. “I thought about it, and came up with, ‘I’m about eight.’ So it’s going to be a lot of fun playing with kids my age.”

A Little Help with Carol Burnett is a Netflix Original, produced by dick clark productions.

New on Netflix: Anne, Based on Anne of Green Gables

Posted on April 5, 2017 at 1:40 pm

Netflix’s “Anne,” based on the beloved classic books about the imaginative, outspoken, red-headed orphan who insists on the “e” in her name premieres in May.

It looks lovely, though it’s going to be hard to top the Megan Follows version with Colleen Dewhurst. The 1934 version starred a young actress so taken with the role that she changed her name to Anne Shirley. It’s a lovely film, though I can’t forgive it for making a big change in the storyline about Anne and Gilbert Blythe.

Matt Fagerholm on Julie Andrews’ New Show for Kids About Performing Arts

Posted on March 25, 2017 at 9:15 pm

My friend and fellow critic Matt Fagerholm has an excellent essay at rogerebert.com about the adorable new Netflix series “Julie’s Greenroom,” starring Julie Andrews, the Muppets, and a dazzling gallery of guest stars.

Andrews has a natural chemistry with her pint-sized students, treating them as she would any human performer, while gently reprimanding her mischievous dog, Toby (John Kennedy), who also happens to be a puppet. The first 13 episodes of “Julie’s Greenroom” debuted on March 17th, and though the series is every bit as delightful as one would expect, it succeeds as far more than a nostalgia-fest.

In fact, there may not be a better defense for saving the National Endowment for the Arts than this program, which has coincidentally arrived during a period in which the President of the United States has proposed cutting it for the first time in history.

The show is a delight for any age.
