New dramas and comedy on 2nd Avenue this August 2009
Get ready to witness mother-and-daughter bonding like never before as 2nd Avenue perks up its Ladies Night block with “Kath and Kim,” a wackier, crazier and zanier comedy series, on Mondays at 10PM
Adapted from the hit Australian sitcom of the same name, this US remake follows the neurotic antics of a suburban mother-and-daughter tandem, the Days. Molly Shannon (Saturday Night Live, Never Be Kissed) plays Kathleen “Kath” Day, a free-spirited single mom who recently found a new love in the person of a sandwich bar owner named Phil Knight. Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions, Hellboy 1 and 2 ) plays daughter Kimberly Crystal (“Kim”) Day, a young, plucky recent divorcee who is stunned to find her mother in love and her old bedroom remodeled. The series begins with Kim moving back in with her mom following her divorce, but is forced to deal with some major changes, including a new potential stepfather and her mom’s burgeoning salon business.
Discover what goes on in the personal lives of psychiatrists in 2nd Ave.’s new drama entitled: “State Of Mind,” starring Lili Taylor ( The Haunting, High fidelity) as the renowned therapist Dr. Ann Bellowes whose life turned upside down when she discovers her husband’s affair with their marriage counselor. “State Of Mind” is aired on Tuesdays at 9PM.
This August, 2nd Avenue welcomes the newest pair of resident advertising mavericks guaranteed to shake up its primetime lineup – Conner and Mason – in the new comedy drama “Trust Me,” on Thursdays at 10 PM. Playing the lead roles are Tom Cavanagh (Scrubs) and Eric McCormack (Will and Grace).
Set in the high-pressure realms of advertising, Trust Me follows the ever-changing dynamics of the creative twosome, who share a tight friendship despite being polar opposites. Mason is a responsible art director and a doting family man, while Conner is a single, impulsive copywriter with the attention span of a teenager. Their tandem is suddenly put to the test when Mason is named the agency’s creative director, thus making him Conner’s boss. 2nd Avenue is seen on UHF RJTV 29, Global Destiny Channel 29, Sky Cable Channell 19 and Cable Link channel 42.
