‘Call Your Mother’ ABC’S Newest Comedy

By Erin

Call Your Mother Cellphone — CALL YOUR MOTHER -(ABC)

“Call Your Mother” is the newest comedy to premiere Wednesday, January 13th (9:30-10:00 p.m. EST), on ABC. It’s a coming of (middle) age journey you can’t miss! It’s also the comedy we all need right now during these trying times that will bring a smile to your face and laughter to your heart. 💜 ♥️ ❤️

Jean, an empty-nester mom, wonders how she ended up alone while her children live their best lives thousands of miles away. She decides her place is with her family, and as she reinserts herself into their lives, her kids realize they might actually need her more than they thought.

The series stars Kyra Sedgwick as Jean Raines, Rachel Sennott as Jackie Raines, Joey Bragg as Freddie Raines, Emma Caymares as Celia, Austin Crute as Lane and Patrick Brammall as Danny. Kari Lizer is the creator and executive producer; Tim Kaiser and Pam Fryman serve as executive producers on the series. “Call Your Mother” is from Sony Pictures Television & ABC Signature.

I had the chance to watch the newest episode the other day and take part in a zoom interview with the cast afterwards. Here are a few fun things they shared with us.

*The creator of the show, Kari Lizer chose the state of Iowa for the show because she loves it there. Her son worked in Iowa and the people are so nice there. It seemed like a good place to come from rather than LA.

*Ripper the dog’s real name is Orbit and he is just an actor. As much as everyone loves him and say he brings great therapy to all on the set, he is NOT a therapy dog.

Kari Lizer, the producer hopes that everyone will find the show funny and bring a smile to their face and laugh. People have lost connection during the pandemic. This is a show where people find each other again and make new connections.

Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu.

The War with Grandpa–Now on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital!

By Erin

Get ready to laugh-out-loud and ring in the new year with an all-out prank battle the whole family can enjoy, in the hilarious comedy, The War with Grandpa, now available to own for the first time on Digital, Blu-ray^™, DVD and On Demand from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Based on Robert Kimmel Smith’s multi-award-winning beloved children’s book of the same name, the film follows a series of escalating shenanigans that ensue when a grandfather (Academy Award^® winner Robert De Niro, The Irishman, Meet the Parents franchise) moves in with his daughter, forcing his grandson (Oakes Fegley, The Goldfinch, This Is Where I Leave You) to begrudgingly give up his bedroom. Packed with heart and hysterical hijinks from start to finish, THE WAR WITH GRANDPA is the perfect “family-friendly comedy” (Pete Hammond, Deadline) everyone can enjoy during the holiday and beyond.

Sixth-grader Peter (Fegley) is pretty much your average kid—he likes gaming, hanging with his friends and his beloved pair of Air Jordans. But when his recently widowed grandfather Ed (De Niro) moves in with Peter’s family, the boy is forced to give up his most prized possession of all, his bedroom. Unwilling to let such an injustice stand, Peter devises a series of increasingly elaborate pranks to drive out the interloper, but Grandpa Ed won’t go without a fight. Soon, the friendly combatants are engaged in an all-out war with side-splitting consequences.

Alongside De Niro and Fegley is a top-notch cast including Academy Award^® nominee Uma Thurman (Kill Bill series, Pulp Fiction), Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street, “Modern Family”), Cheech Marin (Cars series, Coco), Golden Globe^® winner Jane Seymour (Wedding Crashers, “Jane the Virgin”), Laura Marano (Lady Bird, “Austin & Ally”) and Academy Award^® winner Christopher Walken (Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can) that bring even more laughs throughout the mischievously funny and charming film. From director Tim Hill (The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, “SpongeBob SquarePants”) with a script by Tom J. Astle (Get Smart, Failure to Launch) and Matt Ember (Get Smart, Epic), THE WAR WITH GRANDPA is sure to entertains audiences of all ages.
