Elizabeth Perkins and Denis Lear y star in the limited-run Fox comedy series “The Moodys,” premiering Wednesday.
BY JAY BOBBIN
Denis Lear y wasn’t looking for another series nor a Christmas comedy, but both found him in one package.
The “Rescue Me” and “Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll” veteran stars in “ The Moodys,” a limited-run Fox sitcom about a dysfunctional Chicago family reunited for the holidays, for better or worse. The show airs two of its six episodes on each of three nights starting Wednesday, Dec. 4, then continuing the following Monday and Tuesday Elizabeth Perkins (“ Weeds”) plays Lear y’s wife, with Jay Baruchel (“Man Seeking Woman”), Chelsea Frei (“ Victoria Gotti: My Father’s Daughter”) and Francois Arnaud (“ The Borgias”) as the couple’s grown children.
“It’s probably the craziest shooting schedule I’ve ever been involved with,” the dr yly witty Lear y muses, “with the exception of a couple of reshoots for movies. We go on the air a month after we wrapped, and I’ve never done anything that crazy before.”
Still, Lear y adds that he has confidence in the outcome largely because of Bob Fisher, one of its writers, directors and executive producers: “He and I adapted the British show ‘Sirens’ together for USA Network, and we had a great time. I say ‘No’ to everything, basically, but he’s one of the people on my short list. I’m always looking to work with somebody I know or somebody I’m really interested in working with. Nobody can guarantee that anything is going to be good or even middling. You can only do the work, so I want to have a good time doing it.”
Lear y played a Christmas Eve criminal in the 1994 movie “ The Ref.” He admits “it’s hard to convince me” to attempt edgy holiday humor again, “but the tone of this felt a lot like that. That’s how Bob sold it to me, actually He said, ‘ This is like ”The Ref“ as a television show,’ and that was a good hook.”
Also a recurring player on TNT ’s “Animal Kingdom,” Lear y often writes his own material, but he says that wasn’t a concern for him in the case of “ The Moodys.” He notes, “ There was certainly a lot of playing around and improvising on the set, but this guy was written as someone with a big heart but a hard external shell. It’s clear this family loves each other, but man, they have a lot of stuff to get through.”
While “ The Moodys” is only a one-shot project for now, Lear y is ready should Fox decide to order more of it. “We all signed up with that idea in mind,” he confirms. “If the thing works, the game plan is to bring the Moodys back with a different family event a wedding, an anniversary, a funeral. All of their resentments and grudges could go on. ”
Lauren Ambrose of “Servant” on Apple TV+
“I star ted watching ‘Big Little Lies’ on the airplane the other day and I really liked that. I thought Laura Dern in par ticular was pretty amazing. I really enjoyed watching her per formance in that. My daughter has become obsessed with Pee-wee Herman and so we were watching ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse’ recently, which really holds up, I’ve got to say. I mean, talk about creative. That is out there. I was like, ‘How were they doing this? This is so bizarre.’ But it’s so great. I love that there were actors on the set shooting that, like what the hell? (Laughs)”
Al Roker of “Today” on NBC
“ ‘The Rachel Maddow Show.’ Second choice is ‘The 11th Hour With Brian Williams’; I watch the replay of it in the morning, when I’m getting ready for work.”
Kristin Chenoweth of “A Christmas Love Story” on Hallmark Channel
“ ‘The Real Housewives of (Anyplace). It’s a way for me to check out and not think.”
Denis “The Moodys on Fox “ ‘All in If I see pop up it’s the middle, beginning toward watch. first five of that couldn’ now. ”

Tastemade’s ‘Cooking With Pride’ ser ves up food knowledge with a side
Since time immemorial, food has served as an excellent entry point into just about any discussion. And in the case of Tastemade’s “Cooking With Pride,” that topic is LGBTQ.
Currently streaming on Facebook Watch, the series takes host and online content creator Ingrid Nilsen on a culinary journey, guided by accomplished chefs or food experts who like her identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual or queer, who demonstrate how to make a particular food or dish while discussing issues facing the LGBTQ community
So in one episode, she might talk about how to make the kitchen a safe space with Connecticut chef Mac Elliot Jarvis while preparing shakshuka, a popular Middle Eastern dish. In another, she’ll speak with chef and cannabis rights advocate Jeff Danzer about the linked histories of cannabis and gay rights.
And in still another, Los Angeles sausage maker Erin O’Brien goes start to finish in showing Nilsen how to make the linked pork product while discussing the process’ unavoidably sexual nature.
“The sausage-making experience was completely new to me,” Nilsen, a home cook who has no formal training, admits, “because ... I’ve never actually been present for the start-to-finish process of making it. And realizing just how intensive it is but also intentional, learning about how there is fat incorporated into the mixture and how you have to be so intentional throughout the entire process.
“And I think this is really special because we were hearing a personal story from Erin and it also involved queer sexuality and I think topics that people are typically just uncomfortable with in general. But then you add in the layer of queerness to it and people are even more afraid of it because
of LGBTQ talk
Resnick, a Los Angeles-based private chef and nutritionist, to make a craft cocktail and talk about taking back ownership of Valentine’s Day.
“A lot of people have a complicated relationship with something like Valentine’s Day,” Nilsen says, “where it often feels like it is this consumerist holiday, and her perspective was wanting to reclaim that for herself and create her own Valentine’s Day experience, especially as someone in the LGBTQ community She talks about experiences where she might go out on Valentine’s Day and didn’t really feel like she saw herself in any of the experiences, and so this recipe was about like reclaiming and redefining what Valentine’s Day means for her And I think that’s something that’s really powerful.”

Movie: Christmas Town
As the holidays loom, elementary school teacher Lauren Gabriel (Candace Cameron Bure) decides it’s time to make some major life changes, leaving her familiar job in Boston and her relationship with careerobsessed boyfriend Eric (Jason Cermak) in favor of a fresh start in a quaint but distant town. Her move is complicated by travel problems that briefly strand her in a charming hamlet nicknamed “Christmastown,” where she meets a handsome handyman (Tim Rozon, “Wynonna Earp”). When Eric turns up, though, Lauren faces a big decision in this 2019 romance.

Movie: A Bad Moms Christmas
This 2017 yuletide sequel to the 2016 movie comedy “Bad Moms” finds Amy, Kiki and Carla (Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn) — the three principal moms from the first film — struggling to keep it together when their own mothers — played respectively by Christine Baranski, Cheryl Hines and Susan Sarandon — arrive for an extended holiday visit. This strong ensemble of comedy pros manages to rise above a thin script and tepid reviews, and the movie wound up grossing four times its fairly modest budget.
