Some shows end with a shrug; not this one. The fate of mankind is at stake. The hour has alternate worlds, a magical mirror and much mayhem, including a nasty chap with a big stick that's sometimes a snake. Last week ended with Nick (protected by a little stick the bad guy really covets) staring at the lifeless bodies of Hank and Wu. More battles will follow, all of them intense and one of them quite absurd. Then is the sort of big finish that viewers covet. This 'Beast' a 'Beauty' of a retread. 3) Basketball, 3 p.m. PT Saturday, CBS. It's ...

Nobodies' Is Funny Part Of The Time; 'imaginary Mary' Struggles With Dopey Premise

... And, not surprisingly, there are celebrity cameos, because, well, Melissa Mc Carthy. The pilot features appearances by Jason Bateman, Jim Rash and Maya Rudolph, and there are more to come in upcoming episodes. TV Land has already ordered a second season of "Nobodies," so they'll be Somebodies for at least a while. • Also tonight, it's the premiere of "Imaginary Mary" (7:30 p.m., ABC/Ch. 4). Jenna Elfman ("Dharma & Greg") stars as a driven career woman who meets and falls and love with a divorced father of three — and feeling the pressure of having a personal life sparks the return of her childhood imaginary friend, a weird creature called Mary.

Jenna Elfman On The Challenges Of Working With An Imaginary Friend

... with unseen characters before when she was upstaged by Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny in “Looney Tunes: Back in Action,” this presents a whole new challenge, she says. “When we were filming ‘Looney Tunes,’ we had men in green suits, green screens, green little balls on sticks. There was not a lot of green-screen elements when we were filming this, because it’s CGI,” she says. “This is a whole different sort of approach to animation. We had rehearsal with a stuffed, life-size puppet, and we had an amazing puppeteer, so we would rehearse with her. And we had a comedic actress on set to do all the lines. So I felt like I had a comedic partner, because Rachel is in New York,” she explains. “And then we would film one take with the puppet, so that the animators had a reference for her in that live space. And then they would take her away, and there would be ...

Jenna Elfman’s Acting Challenge Not ‘imaginary

... she happened to be in. And now that the possibility of a long-term relationship has entered the picture, Alice needs Mary more than ever. “She’s my inner voice and my mentor,” explained Elfman in a quiet corner of a Pasa­dena, Calif., hotel. “Mary kind of mirrors what’s going on with my character. So when Alice is a little tipsy, Mary is tipsy. And when Alice is enjoying her melted mint chocolate chip ice cream, Mary is enjoying the mint chocolate chip ice cream. So she’s mirroring her and challenging her at the same time, much like our own thought process.”. Playing opposite the CGI Mary turned out to be quite the exercise in acting for Elfman. In addition to having to be funny and believable as Alice, the actress also had to focus her eyes on a point in space where Mary was supposed to be while reacting to Mary’s lines being thrown at her by a comedic actress off camera. (On the show, she’s ...

Jenna Elfman Talks About Her Imaginary Childhood Friend In Charming New Series

... with three kids. The surprise of meeting the kids seems to trigger an upheaval in Alice, as suddenly Mary, her imaginary friend from childhood (a fuzzy little CGI creation voiced by former SNL-er Rachel Dratch), reappears to help her navigate rough patches in her life. Acting with a character who wasn’t really there must have been similar to having an imaginary friend for Elfman. But reporters at a recent press conference for the show wondered if she actually did have a made-up pal as a kid. “I didn’t have one,” she offered, “but if I did, I think I would want it to be Tim Conway and Harvey Korman. I think that would be really awesome to have them as little imaginary friends, because you’d just be snort-laughing all the time.”. It may seem challenging to act with a character that isn’t there, but Elfman says some of the show’s filming techniques helped. “We had rehearsal with a stuffed, life-size puppet,” she said, “and we had an ...

Imaginary Mary,’ Starring Jenna Elfman

... ABC has become so skilled at constructing believable, unconventional families around different premises, whether that is a black family trying to hold onto its identity in an affluent white neighborhood or parents with a special-needs child trying to keep their finances in order. But partly because Elfman is required to emote to something inanimate, the actual family sitcom elements of this sitcom seem weirdly superficial. Alice’s character promises quite a bit of depth, and it’s not difficult to see how she might find a way, through pitfalls, to creating lasting relationships with her quasi-stepchildren. But that sounds like a more fruitful premise for a show than a show with an imaginary friend; “Inside Out,” which probably inspired “Imaginary Mary,” evinced a much more carefully thought-out concept of personifying elements of the human psyche than anything the ABC sitcom has to offer. And indeed, it’s haphazardness that most radiates from the sitcom. “Imaginary Mary” feels a little hasty and ...
