“I don’t know if it’s that the scripts are evolving or just that I’m getting older, but the characters become more interesting as you get older because you’ve lived more life at different stages.

Amy Sherman-Palladino is back to doing what she does best with her new ABC Family drama, Bunheads. Set in a sleepy, small town— so small they don’t even have a movie theater anymore— Bunheads follows a fast-talking young dancer (Sutton Foster) as she drunkenly marries in Vegas and moves to her new husband’s (Alan Ruck) oceanview home to try to start a life as…well, she doesn’t really know what because she left so abruptly, she didn’t even pack a suitcase. The characters are colorful, and the premise of finding a family where one least expects it are both ever-present, but the one thing the pilot is missing is the “why.”

TBS has been rerunning episodes of Sex and the City for years, and now with their new buddy sitcom Men at Work, they may finally have a male counterpart! Executive produced by Turner’s own Breckin Meyer, Men at Work stars Danny Masterson, James Lesure, Michael Cassidy, and Adam Busch as four friends who work together at a magazine—and mess with each other about their failed personal lives. Are you a Milo, Gibbs, Tyler, or Neal?

There are so many reality singing competitions on network television, but ABC’s newest one, Duets, is a completely different look for them—or any network.

The revolutionary idea got Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Robin Thicke, and Jennifer Nettles to sign up, and now they’ve told Snakkle why—and why you should get on board with watching, too.
