  • Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm):  Season 2 premiere. “Summer in the Hamptons winds down as Serena and Nate carry on a cover-up scheme to make others think they’re dating.” A few choice pics sent to Gossip Girl should do the trick.

  • One Tree Hill (CW, 9pm):  Season 6 premiere. “Lucas’ chosen lady meets him at the airport, while Dan’s accident proves life-threatening.” Sorry. So not caring who picks these days.

Meet the Browns Retooled for Television

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, News

Meet the Browns poster has just hit the trifecta.

, the 2008 movie that originated as a play, is now being reworked as a series for TBS.

In the comedy, David Mann and Tamela J. Mann (a real-life couple) will both reprise the characters they played on the big-screen. Although the spinoff’s concept is still be worked out, the show will revolve around a number of residents in a boarding house. The old home was something that was inherited by David (Leroy Brown) from his father.

This isn’t the first time the writer/producer/director/actor has worked on something for the small screen. In 2006, TBS ordered 10 episodes of for its network. When the show proved successful, another 90-episode order was made. This is the strategy that will once again be implemented for Browns. If things go well with the program’s run in January, another 90 could start airing as soon as next summer.

In the meantime, Perry’s next project, The Family That Preys, will hit theaters on September 12.

Nashville Star

(You can view TV Envy’s Summer Television Programming Schedule here.)

MONDAY (6/9)

  • The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm):  “DeAnna accuses the 9 remaining bachelors of refusing to take the competition seriously, but first she invites them to compete in a singing contest.” I don’t understand why those guys don’t see the importance of a proper serenade.
  • Quads with 2 Moms (Discovery Health, 8pm):  “A same-sex couple who want to become parents undergo fertility treatments and both become pregnant with twins.” I just can’t believe Oprah didn’t get a hold of this story first!
  • Greek (ABC Family, 8pm):  Season finale. “The Cyprus-Rhodes students head to the beach for Spring Break where Casey finally decides to leave the past behind and cut loose.” And by “decides”, we mean she finally “downs” a couple of shots and forgets the past.
  • Nashville Star (NBC, 9pm):  Season/network premiere. “Billy Ray Cyrus takes over the hosting from Jewel, who moves to the judges’ table alongside country stars John Rich and Jeffrey Steele.” I never thought the day would come when I would compare Jewel to .
