Cancelled FOX show ‘Running Wilde’ to conclude its ratings-deprived debut season later this month on FX

News, Television, ,

So FOX has officially cancelled the short lived Mitch Hurwitz comedy Running Wilde. No surprise there. After just nine episodes aired the network decided to cut it from the schedule in November. The lingering questions remained: what’s going to happen to the additional four episodes produced? will they ever see the light of day? The answer, I am excited to say, is yes! FOX is allowing its sibling cable channel FX to air the remaining four episodes starting April 28 at 10PM. Wilde fans, mark your calenders and anticipate the brief return of Steve, Emmy, and Puddle…and then prepare to say goodbye once again.

FOX shuffles around the remaining episodes of ‘Running Wilde’

News, Television, , , , , ,

Mitch Hurwitz’s Running Wilde, starring Will Arnett and Keri Russell, never caught on with TV viewers.  And that’s unfortunate because it’s a damn funny show that boasts the same kind of charm Hurwitz’s Arrested Development managed to carry across to its cult fans.  FOX still hasn’t had the guts to officially cancel it just yet, but all signs point to a quick exit for the short-lived comedy.  The network did not order additional episodes past the original 13, and this week they decided to shuffle the remaining five episodes around instead of letting them air consecutively in their regular Tuesday night slot.  If you’ve been a trouper and stuck with the show, mark your calenders.  The remaining episodes will air on these dates: Sunday, December 19 at 7PM & 7:30PM; Sunday, December 26 at 9:30PM; Tuesday, December 28 at 9PM (one-hour finale).  Farewell Steve, Emmy, and Puddle!

David Cross joins FOX’s ‘Running Wilde’

News, Television, Video, , , , , , ,

Now this is fantastic news!  Actor David Cross is joining the new FOX comedy Running Wilde.  The show stars Will Arnett.  The show is created by Mitch Hurwitz.  Have you connected the dots yet?  It’s an Arrested Developement reunion!  In Hurwitz’s Arrested Development, Cross played doctor-turned-aspiring actor Tobias Fünke, the brother-in-law of Arnett’s Gob Bluth.  Cross will be featured in 7 of the initial 13 episodes as “the radical environmentalist boyfriend of Keri Russell’s character” according to IGN.  Hurwitz and Arnett serve as creators, writers, and executive producers.  Arrested Development directors Anthony and Joe Russo and executive producer Jim Valley are also on board.

FOX is giving Hurwitz another chance with Running Wilde, so make sure you tune in Tuesday, September 21 at 9:30PM.  We can’t give the network another opportunity to shun Hurwitz & Co. away from making great TV like they did with the prematurally canned Arrested Development.  With a handful of AD alum signed on, I have a good feeling this comedy will tower over other network premieres in terms of quality.  AD‘s theme was “family first.”  From the looks of the trailer (embedded after the break, along with the synopsis), Running Wilde will take a new yet familar path: Russell’s Emmy to Arnett’s Wilde: “I am going to make you a better man.”  Family, relationships, heart, hilarity.  Welcome back, Hurwitz.
