在美国的Mid America Novelties公司专卖各种美国时髦搞怪小玩意儿,在美国这种小玩意儿因为文化而非常流行,而当你向地球的另一边的人民解释这些东西时就没有那么好玩了。Todd Donovan将由面对的情况便是如此,当他的公司送他到印度去掌管客服部门时,他的主要工作就变成了让下属们了解美国文化。
玩Twitter的朋友都应该听说过著名的「Shit My Dad Says」:去年8月3日,29岁的年轻人Justin Halpern在Twitter上开设账号「Shit My Dad Says」,摘录其73岁老父亲的「经典语录」。这位老先生虽然年纪很大,但总是语出惊人。就像「贾君鹏,你妈妈喊你回家吃饭」成为中国互联网的一个神话一样,「Shit My Dad Says」也成为美国互联网的一个神话,看似平淡无奇的内容竟吸引来116万跟随者。 CBS新剧《俺老爸说了……》根据热门Twitter「Shit My Dad Says」的真人真事改编,获得艾美奖的著名演员William Shatner在剧中扮演Ed Goodson,一个性格直率、固执己见的老人。只要身边有人,他就会不由自主地发表自己对时事的看法。他的话题非常广泛。在一段时间里,他几乎成了「针砭时弊」的代名词。 没有人能「逃脱」Ed的「折磨」--包括他的儿子Henry(Ryan Delvin扮演)和Vince(Will Sasso扮演)。Henry是一个不太成功的作家,现在是自由博客撰写人。Vince比他的兄弟要谦和得多,和妻子Kathleen(Nicole Sullivan扮演)一起开了一家夫妻房地产公司。Kathleen是个很厉害的女人,Vince只有当「妻管严」的份。 Henry频临破产,已经没法向漂亮的室友Sam(Stephanie Lemelin扮演)付房租了。当然,不用说你也知道,Henry一直暗恋着Sam。看到儿子惨兮兮的样子,Ed放下架子,邀请他搬回家中居住。尽管Henry知道自己耳根子再也无法清净,但还是同意了。 这对父子的关系很难用言语来描述。不过,Ed总是能说上两句让人很受用的话,这对Henry来说已经足够了。

Whether on or above Earth, hilarity is outrageously universal in TV's most popular comedy featuring four forward-thinking but socially backward geniuses. Fun discoveries multiply: Leonard learns jealousy is bad for a relationship (with Penny) but science is good for seduction (of Penny). Howard finds life in the International Space Station life is no escape from terrestrial turmoil between his mom and his new wife Bernadette. Raj meets someone special who may be a good match, if he can keep her from fleeing mid-date. And then there's Sheldon. He learns what not to say after facing harassment charges or competing for tenure at work and how Dungeons & Dragons can be the icebreaker his relationship with Amy needs.

NBC台2012年秋季新剧《新常态》由著名制片人、已经有两部热播美剧(《欢乐合唱团》和《美国恐怖故事》)的瑞恩·墨菲担任主创。《新常态》为半小时喜剧,讲述一对男同夫夫和他们的代孕女住同一屋檐下、迎接和抚养小孩的故事。由贾斯汀·巴萨和安德鲁·兰内尔斯饰演的同志伴侣决定抚养自己的小孩,他们将代孕妈妈锁定在餐馆女侍、负债累累的单亲妈妈格罗莉(乔治雅·金 Georgia King 饰)身上,后者怀孕后搬入和他们一起生活,从而给这个另类家庭增添了诸多欢笑和烦恼。宗教团体在开播前曾呼吁抵制,认为该剧扭曲了“正常的家庭价值观”,但大量调查表明“同志也可以组建家庭”已成为美国民意主流,因此《新常态》所反映的“新常态”还会继续发展和壮大。 本剧由瑞恩·墨菲和《欢乐合唱团》编剧艾丽·阿德勒共同打造,由二十世纪电视公司负责制作,是NBC在2012年开发和预订的第13部情景喜剧。
