Back in 1998, when TV viewers turned to Friends and Frasier for punchlines and ER and NYPD Blue for drama, one series boldly attempted to be a one-stop shop: ABC's Sports Night. Set in the high-stakes world of a live sports news program, the Aaron Sorkin-scribed dramedy followed the behind-the-scenes exploits of fictional "Sports Night" coanchors Casey (Peter Krause) and Dan (Josh Charles), their brilliant producer Dana (Felicity Huffman), harried associate producer Natalie (Sabrina Lloyd), gruff executive Isaac (Robert Guillaume), and whip-smart researcher Jeremy (Josh Malina). Sports Night was adored by the media—including EW, which called it "the most consistently funny,...

Imagine if Woody Allen, Whit Stillman, Kevin Smith and the Sundance Institute had a love child. This ungainly creature, speaking in witty, heightened, unnaturalistic sentences, and ambling, sometimes shambling between comedy, tragedy and pretension, might very well go on to make films that greatly resemble those of Hal Hartley.
Hartley is the man behind such beloved (at least by some) ‘90s indie films as “The Unbelievable Truth” and “Trust.” But to put him into proper context, we find ourselves casting around for parallels: he simply never made enough of a dent in mainstream sensibilities to be able to describe his work to a neophyte without reference to other, more overtly successful filmmakers. Or musicians, perhaps – if we play the equivalents game with the alt-rock explosion of the ‘90s, we get Quentin Tarantino as Nirvana, Jim Jarmusch as Sonic Youth and Kevin Smith as, maybe, Smashing Pumpkins (revered early on, but...

Director: Adam Reid Writer(s): Adam Reid Starring: Sabrina Lloyd, Lynn Cohen, James Urbaniak, Harry Chase, Nate Smith, Kamel Boutros Adam Reid ponders loneliness in this trilogy of inter-cut vignettes. The six characters are paired off almost haphazardly, as if purely by the godly hand of fate; they are brought together not by love or affection, but by the desperate desire for another human being to connect with. Once they find that person, they latch on for dear life...

Today is Josh Charles’ 39th birthday. In a week, it will be exactly 12 years since Sports Night first aired on ABC. I can tell you these things because without Sports Night, I wouldn’t be the same person I am today. That’s how I know that television fandom changes lives.
I’m sure every one of you who comes to this site has heard it from someone at some point in your life: you watch too much television. Television is bad for you. Watching television will never amount to anything. I’ve heard it, my friends have heard it, my colleagues have heard it. That’s just the common belief in the world. It’s always upset me, because I’ve always known that it’s not true. With the anniversary of my fandom coming up, I’d like to share with you my story about how TV fandom changed my life,...

The one-off. The television landscape is littered with them. Joyce DeWitt in "Three's Company. Jerry Mathers from "Leave it to Beaver." Half the cast of "Law & Order." Fred Savage, Danica McKellar, Jason Hervy, and Josh Saviano in "The Wonder Years." Jason Alexander and Michael Richards in "Seinfeld." Mr. Cooper in "Hanging with Mr. Cooper." Screech, Theo Huxtable, and Marshall Flinkman from "Alias." Sometimes, you're so good at a character that you're stuck with the identity for the rest of your career because you're not quite good enough to play another character.
Last night, during the Emmy Awards opening, I pumped my fist a little at the sight of Jorge Garcia (Hurley!) in the Glee-inspired opening number. And then I felt a sudden pang of sadness, knowing that it's probably the last we'll see of Hurley, at least in any sort of substantial role. He may show up in "Law & Order: Albuquerque,...

When the nice folks at MakingOf.com asked me to introduce this “behind the scenes” short film put together by my friend and Hello Lonesome associate producer Mark Rosenberg I thought I would try something different than the usual indie film stats.*
Behind the development and production of any film is a massive collection of choices. I thought it might be cool if I listed a random sampling of the choices I made making Hello Lonesome and why. In no particular order whatsoever, you know, for entertainment value:
Choice: No dollys, cranes, or steadicams, really no grip equipment whatsoever.
Why: I told myself that it would make the film more intimate and personal, but really, on our budget we couldn’t afford the equipment, or the crew to use it.
Choice: Two Bernese Mountain Dogs.
Why: They came with the Manhattan location. Either I had to hide 300 lbs of dog...

Rating: 3/5
Writer: Adam Reid
Director: Adam Reid
Cast: Sabrina Lloyd, Lynn Cohen, James Urbaniak, Harry Chase, Nate Smith
Writer and director Adam Reid goes the multi-story route with Hello Lonesome, giving us three different (and not visibly linked) tales of people dealing with loneliness. Despite similar themes and feelings, our storylines do not interact. There’s no trickery here – no late reveal that someone is actually someone else’s daughter or that two of our previously unrelated characters used to be involved or anything of that nature. Hello Lonesome is closer to a set of vignettes, three short films that question the same issues. What is loneliness? What is the difference between being alone and being lonely? How do we connect with other people? Is there inherent value to being alone (or even to being lonely)?

In 1999, if you'd asked me to name the cutest woman alive (the pre-Felicia Day, if you will), I'd have probably nominated Sabrina Lloyd, in large part because of the white-men's button down episode of "Sports Night," the episode where Aaron Sorkin got deep into the recesses of every male fantasy and properly identified the outfit more alluring than any lingerie. It was that men's white button down, as I recall, that brought Jeremy and Natalie back together.
I haven't seen Lloyd since her stint on "Ed" some seven years ago (she also had a lengthy arc on "Numb3rs"), so it's good to see her in the very whimsiquirkilicious trailer for Hello Lonesome from the virtually unknown writer/director Adam Reid. I don't know much about the flick, except that it's being screened at the La Film Festival (if you're out there, you can catch up tomorrow and Wednesday nights). Hopefully,...

There are few television shows that hold my interest past the pilot episode. When they do, they usually get cancelled because most networks can’t seem to identify quality programs without the help of their woefully misguided Neilsen system. In rare instances, such as the Family Guy and Futurama resurrections, a fantastic show gets canceled, then does so well on DVD, the network is forced to place it’s tail squarely between its legs and bring the show back to life. Sports Night was not one of these shows.
The year is 1998. ABC has Home Improvement, NYPD Blue, Ellen, Dharma and Drew. On Tuesday September 22, they premiere a little show-within-a-show called Sports Night. The ensemble cast includes a few heavyweights, and several actors who earned their street cred long after Sports Night was running on Comedy Central at 3am.
