So before you get to reading just know that I’ll Stand By You isn’t on this list. I know that a lot of people probably think of this song when they think of the Pretenders, but it’s simply too easy. But the Pretenders had a lot more hits than this and have been featured in a host of movies and TV shows that have utilized a great many tracks that they’ve laid down over the years. So it seems best to really show the talent that made them such a great band by displaying their many hits instead of the

Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris (debuting on September 15th on NBC) marks the return — overdue or not — of the variety show, that long-dormant format in which kooky skits, musical guests, and frenzied production numbers are jammed into an hour of family-friendly entertainment. "When you think of the variety shows we all grew upon — Sonny and Cher and Donny and Marie — those [programs] all said, 'Sit on the couch, be entertained with a little song,...

Initially, Seinfeld met with a lukewarm response, a baffled network, low ratings and a volatile creator. So how did it become such a hit?
“Pilot performance: Weak”. That was the research report verdict on the 1989 pilot of new NBC sitcom Stand Up, written by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. The episode had excited “lukewarm reactions among adults and teens and very low reactions among kids”. The audience found it annoying that the main character, a fictionalised version of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, “needed things to be explained to him”. The lead was too wimpy, the show was “too New York” (and therefore too Jewish) and worst of all, nothing happened in it. “You can’t get too excited about going to the Laundromat”, as one respondent put it. The report’s conclusion was stark: “no viewer was eager to watch the show again.”

MEXICO CITY -- Sony Pictures Television International said Wednesday that it is producing "The Pretenders" for Televisa, marking its first scripted series for Mexico's top network.
Shot in high definition, the series will bow April 30 on Sony Entertainment Television Latin America, followed by a debut May 6 on Televisa. SPTI initially will produce 13 hourlong episodes for the Mexican media giant, with an option for an additional 13 episodes.
SPTI acquired international remake rights for "Pretenders" from Argentina's Telefe.
"For a long time, we have been in touch with SPTI to develop several joint projects," said Eduardo Clemesha, director of new contents and formats at Televisa. "When we found out that SPTI had the rights for The Pretenders,' ' we knew that we had to make the series."
The popular Argentine program revolves around a group of trained individuals who carry out simulated operations to help people solve their problems.
SPTI senior vp Brendan Fitzgerald called the deal a "landmark agreement," as it gives his company the opportunity to work with the world's top-producer of Spanish-language programming.
