From VHS Tape to Webseries
In the latest attempt to boost VHS sales, which have been circling the drain for years, the following series have just been green-lit into their own spin-off webisodes!
Nice Guy Still Finishes Last
Steve Guttenberg is thrilled! He will be reviving his character as Michael Kellam from the Three Men and a Little Baby/Lady franchise. In the Nice Guy Still Finishes Last series, we will follow Michael Kellam as he repeatedly dates one woman after the next as his closest buddies and allies sweep his women off their feet, leaving him forever single and forever finishing last.
The James Spader Show
Each week, James Spader will live twenty years into the future as one of the following: Steff from Pretty in Pink, Richards from Mannequin, Roger Barnes from Wall Street, and Graham Dalton from Sex, Lies and Videotape.
Weekdays with Bernie
Probably the most anticipated digital series’ spin-off is Weekdays with Bernie, the digital prequel to the Weekend at Bernie’s franchise, in which Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silvermann will spend weekdays with Terry Kisner, who will revive his role as Bernie…only this time ALIVE and full of advice for the young misfits.
Young Adult Gossip Witch!
Blake Lively will help out her sister, Robyn Lively, and join her for a weekly vlog where they gossip about the world of witches and the Upper East Side. Following the success of the cult classic Teen Witch (which Robyn starred in) and the uber success of Blake’s career-catapult, Gossip Girl, this is definitely one you won’t want to miss! Weekly spells spilled for you and yours!
Ducky for President
With Newsroom, VEEP, and Political Animals, we noticed a fall line-up trend…and it looks as though the makers behind Sixteen Candles did, too! In addition to castmates Spader and McCarthy, Jon Cryer will be reprising his role as the hopeless romantic Duckie, and receiving his own web-based show. However, this time, instead of pursuing Andie Walsh, Duckie has his eyes on The White House. Perhaps this will be his chance to win Andie’s heart? Rumor has it Molly Ringwald will star in the season’s third episode.
