Zoinks! Matthew Lillard Is Gary Unmarried’s Bro-in-Law
By admin | November 13, 2008
Jay Mohr’s Gary may be Unmarried, but wouldn’t you know it, he still has in-law issues. Cue the arrival of Matthew Lillard, who will guest-star as ex-wife Allison’s brother, TVGuide.com has learned.
Lillard, of the Scream and Scooby-Doo film franchises, will appear in the freshman CBS comedy’s 13th episode as Gary’s former brother-in-law, Taylor, who has a knack for rubbing his well-to-do status in people’s faces. Blue-collar Gary just barely tolerates affluent Taylor’s taunts… until he uncovers a surprising secret about Allison’s kin.
Despite holding onto, if not building upon, Old Christine’s audience every Wednesday, Gary Unmarried has yet to be awarded a full-season pick-up.

The Future of ‘Gary Unmarried’
By admin | November 10, 2008
EXCLUSIVE
Following a wrath of press regarding CBS testing ‘Gary Unmarried’ in the Monday timeslot, news is trickling out that ‘Gary’ may be on the chopping block. While the show has delivered respectable returns on Wednesdays, where it’s anchoring CBS’ new comedy block with ” The New Adventures of Old Christine”, it has not proven as powerful a Jay Mohr-featured vehicle as CBS hoped. CBS sees promise in the Jay Mohr laffer, and some CBS execs believe the show would do better as part of the net’s more male-centric Monday-night sked. In its most recent airing the Jay Mohr sitcom set a series high in viewers (7.56 million), as well as adults 19-49 and 25-54.
But trouble is still on the horizon, and ‘Worst Week’ is on its way out - and who is taking with it? According to the LA Times, CBS is set to make decisions this week on the new comedy “Worst Week,” a critically acclaimed show that’s underperformed on Mondays, and safer but not sitcom “Gary Unmarried” and crime drama “Eleventh Hour.”
Reasons cited for repeated sit-comedies range from a slowing viewer market, Presidential election coverage, and of course content quality. Personal note: Ratings are rising, the election is over, and ‘Gary’ is hilarious!
Stay tuned as the week progresses. The two options on the table are a full-season order or cancellation. Let’s stay positive and hope not for the latter!

BREAKING NEWS: Gary Unmarried Fans, Get Ready for Barack Obama
By admin | October 15, 2008
Senator Barack Obama has bought 30 minutes of airtime on NBC on October 29 at 8pm, which means that he’ll knock Knight Rider off the air for the night (no idea what NBC will put in the other 30 minutes, perhaps a repeat). Obama has also bought 30 minutes at the same time on CBS, which means that The New Adventures of Old Christine will air at 8:30 and the new Jay Mohr sitcom Gary Unmarried won’t be on that night at all. FOX won’t air the ads because of the World Series, and ABC said they’d air it only if Obama would dance with someone and/or get an extreme makeover.
And yes, if you’re curious, the networks have of course offered Senator John McCain the same deal, though analysts aren’t sure if he has the money to afford the 30 minute ads.

UPDATED: Gary Unmarried featured on The Early Show
By admin | October 1, 2008
Gary Unmarried funny man Jay Mohr sat down with Early Show national correspondent Hattie Kauffman, who learned that the funny business doesn’t always stop when the cameras are turned off.
“I am having a great time. I tested for a movie with him that I didn’t get. But, I knew we had this great chemistry,” said Paula Marshall, who plays Mohr’s ex-wife Allison Brooks.
The actor playing the wife-stealing marriage therapist, Dr. Walter Krandall is in real life environmental activist, Ed Begley Jr.
“CBS is doing a lot to be green. Ed is made entirely of mulch,” Mohr chuckled.
“So, you can renew Ed?” Kauffman joked.
“We renew Ed each episode,” Mohr replied.
When asked if Begley Jr. had solar panels on his dressing room, Mohr said “No, I pull up in front of his house in my hummer and honk.”
Needless to say, the cast is having a blast on set.
