HELLO MY NAME IS…

With the kids out of the house and his wife leaving him to pursue a late career in ice skating (see: Curveball), Phil Dunphy’s life is in shambles. Though not an alcoholic Phil has taken to going to AA meetings to work out his emotions and to meet some new friends. While there he makes the acquaintance of 3 newly appointed court mandated members of AA: Charlie Kelly, Homer J. Simpson and Al Bundy. Even though they are supposed to be off the sauce, the 3 men constantly go out drinking after every meeting and Phil tags along. After a night of drinking the 4 men stumble down an alley and witness a major crimeboss murdered. They manage to evade being caught and make it to a police station close by. They turn state’s evidence and are place under the care of former Reno, Nevada sheriff Lt. Jim Dangle.

Now in the Witness Protection Program with new identities and new lives, the five men are fishes out of water in the town of Sweetville, Ohio, where they need to avoid being caught by the mob and remember what their new names are. HELLO MY NAME IS… is the newest brain child from the producers of Homeboys in Outer Space and Shasta Mcnasty. Say “HELLO” to the newst pop culture mash-up. Only on FX.

Not So Nice People

C. Montgomery Burns is old. Very old. Finally coming to the realization that his days are numbered, he is saddened by the fact that he has a finite time left to cause pain and misery to those around him. His plan: recruit others with the same penchant for evil that he  himself possesses so that they may continue his work in the event of his inevitable demise. The recruits?

Stewie Griffin. Child genius with a gift for building intricate weaponry and an unreasonably early bed time.

GOB Bluth. Magician extraordinaire (sort of) and Segway enthusiast.

And The Janitor. The man with the plans and the willingness to carry them out at any cost, even if it gives him diarrhea.

Their arch nemesis? Ron Swanson. Not so committed government man who none the less still loves this country and it’s many fine meat themed eateries.
Get ready for zany antics and wacky hi-jinks with “Not So Nice People“, this fall on ABC.

Show 1:

"You boys will be safe with me"

With the kids out of the house and his wife leaving him to pursue a late career in ice skating (see: Curveball), Phil Dunphy’s life is in shambles. Though not an alcoholic Phil has taken to going to AA meetings to work out his emotions and to meet some new friends. While there he makes the acquaintance of 3 newly appointed court mandated members of AA: Charlie Kelly, Homer J. Simpson and Al Bundy. Even though they are supposed to be off the sauce, the 3 men constantly go out drinking after every meeting and Phil tags along. After a night of drinking the 4 men stumble down an alley and witness a major crimeboss murdered. They manage to evade being caught and make it to a police station close by. They turn state’s evidence and are place under the care of former Reno, Nevada sheriff Lt. Jim Dangle.

Now in the Witness Protection Program with new identities and new lives, the five men are fishes out of water in the town of Sweetville, Ohio, where they need to avoid being caught by the mob and remember what their new names are. HELLO MY NAME IS… is the newest brain child from the producers of Homeboys in Outer Space and Shasta Mcnasty. Say “HELLO” to the newst pop culture mash-up. Only on FX.

Show 2:

The New CEO of K-Swiss

Sterling Archer is a secret agent at ISIS. Kenny Powers is a washed up professional baseball player. Bender is a robot. Through mutual friends, these three meet at a Bachelor Party in Las Vegas. Through their love of booze, women, and pretty much everything else in excess, an instant bond is formed. The following morning, during a round of breakfast beers, the three new friends can’t help but talk about how much fun the previous night was. Almost as a joke, Archer suggests, “We should do this every weekend”. They all look at each other and the wheels start turning. In the end an idea is forged: fake bechelor parties every weekend. The only problem is with the amount of drugs and alcohol consumed the night before, only bits and pieces of the night survive until the morning.

Enter UNLV students Zack Morris and Abed Nadir (who, for no reason, are conveniently staying at the same hotel as Archer, Kenny, & Bender). The two film students have been trying to come up with a great idea for a web series for months and come up empty handed. Overhearing Archer, Kenny, and Bender is a blessing for these budding directors. Zack and Abed buy the guys some drinks and pitch their idea. A fake bachelor party in a new location every weekend (New York City, South Beach, Montreal, Los Angeles, etc). With Abed and Zack there to document all the night’s happenings, the guys are free to let loose. Everyone agrees this is the best idea since Jagerbombs. Only bad things can come of this and the entire internet is going to be along for the ride. Coming soon to FX…..Recipe for Disaster.

Vote now and as many times as you want!
