Suburgatory: Scoop on Lisa and Malik's plans to get married from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Suburgatory from this week's (Posted on 4/23/14) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: Are Lisa and Malik really getting married on Suburgatory? –Midge
Ausiello: Just as surely as Sheila Shay’s realtor jacket is Pepto-Bismol pink, her teenage daughter will be headed down the aisle before Season 3 is over, confirms co-executive producer Andrew Guest. That means another appearance by Malik’s parents (Paula Newsome and Tim Meadows) — and also a “really satisfying” wedding moment between the Shay women. “We have a lot of fun with Lisa’s role in the family, where she stands in the pecking order, and how her parents react to her,” Guest says. “But we’ll finally get a chance to see some of the real love underneath there on Sheila’s side with regard to her daughter. Sheila stands up for Lisa in a really terrific way.”

Suburgatory: Scoop on episode 3x10 "No, You Can’t Sit with Us" from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Suburgatory from this week's (Posted on 4/15/14) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: What’s coming up on Suburgatory? —Angel
Ausiello: Look for a little bit of nature and a little bit of nurturing in the April 23 installment. In the former column, George, Noah, Fred and Victor will embark on a camping trip that’s “somewhat inspired by [Discovery Channel's] Naked and Afraid,” teases Co-Executive Producer Andrew Guest. Meanwhile, Tessa and Dalia square off when they serve as mentors for contestants in the Little Miss Chatswin beauty pageant — where Sheila will serve as a guest judge.

Suburgatory: George, Fred and Noah related scoop from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich

Here's some scoop on Suburgatory from this week's (Posted on 1/31/14) Matt's Inside Line column.

Do you have anything on my favorite and underappreciated ABC comedies, Suburgatory and Trophy Wife? –Claire
Yes, and yes. Chris Parnell previewed for me a pair of Suburgatory episodes in which George, Noah and Fred A) go on a group date (any guesses on the lone guy to get some “action”?) and B) go camping (the wrinkle: Fred loses his son in the great outdoors). Meanwhile, the Trophy Wife herself, Malin Akerman, teased for me one of her most favorite episodes, in which Kate “has to kind of dress it down and be a Midwestern wife — or at least that what she thinks she needs to be, for an interview with immigration. It entails a lot of crazy comedy.”

Suburgatory: Scoop on an upcoming wedding in season 3 from TVGuide's Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams

Here's some scoop on Suburgatory from TVGuide's Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams' Mega Buzz column, which was posted on 12/10/13.

I am so excited for Suburgatory to come back! What can you tease about the new season? — Carmen
ADAM: Who's ready for a Suburgatory wedding?! Unfortunately, it's not George and Dallas' nuptials; their split will stick for most of the upcoming season. Instead, the newly betrothed couple is... Malik and Lisa! As you might imagine, the high schoolers' parents aren't particularly thrilled. So the happy couple has to look elsewhere — cough, Tessa, cough — for help planning the wedding.

Suburgatory: Scoop on Parker Young's involvement with the show in season 3 from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Suburgatory from this week's (Posted on 11/5/13) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: With Parker Young otherwise engaged on Fox’s Enlisted, how much of Ryan will we see on Suburgatory this season? —Drew
Ausiello: He’ll be back for a handful of episodes, one of which is so top-secret Parker refused to discuss it with TVLine’s crack detective Meg Masters. “There’s one thing I’m so excited about that I’m shooting [this] week that I don’t want to spoil,” he teased  this week on the Enlisted set. “Ryan has definitely changed. But no matter what, one thing that will never change is that he will always love Tessa.”

Aisha: Suburgatory scoop, please! Any chance Dallas and George will get back together?
We're not going to sugarcoat it for you: the chances of those two reconciling anytime soon are slim to none. More like none. How do we know? Because season three will bring a new love interest for George in the form of a single mom who he meets while touring colleges with Tessa. They will have instant chemistry, and he'll even invite this woman and her son over for game night! Whoa, things are getting serious pretty quickly if they are already having game nights…

A Season 3 episode finds Cheryl Hines’ high-haired spitfire travelling home to the South (with Dalia and Tessa in tow) to bury her mom.

Although the premiere date of Suburgatory is TBD, we do know that George is going to be getting his flirt on with a number of new Chatswin ladies. Most notably is Nora, the owner of a dog grooming boutique who is equal parts beautiful and bitchy. Fingers crossed Dallas is having better luck in the dating department when this season returns.

Here's some scoop on Suburgatory from Kristin Dos Santos' Spoiler Chat column, which was posted on 9/17/13.

Helena: I haven't heard anything at all about Suburgatory. Is it coming back?
Yeparoni. And even better, they won't be using words like yeparoni. The ABC comedy is slated to return sometime midseason (exact date TBD), and they will be introducing a new love interest for Tessa, who will stick around for much of the season. His name is Mark and they haven't cast the actor yet, but he will be a cute, intellectual boy she meets at a party, and the complete opposite of Tessa's last boyfriend, Ryan.

Suburgatory: Dalia related scoop on season 3 from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Suburgatory from this week's (Posted on 9/3/13) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: Everyone is still all frazzled by Miley’s VMA performance that they overlooked the real VMA shocker: Dalia Royce was snubbed for Video of the Year! “You Missed a Spot” was by far my favorite music video of the last year! Any idea what’s in the cards for Dalia this year? —Bryce
Ausiello: It’s funny you should mention Miley, because Dalia will actually take a page from the 20-year-old train wreck in Season 3. According to a source, Dallas’ hilariously egocentric spawn will find herself teaching a bunch of middle-aged men how to twerk. There’s no word if tongue will be involved.

Buy us a drink first. When Suburgatory finally returns to our TV's we're going to be introduced to a hot new hangout: A Pressed Nation. It's a juice bar that is all the rage with the health-crazed Chatswin residents—even George falls under its fresh and organic spell. On an unrelated and very depressing note, George and Dallas are still broken up and we kind of want to cry.

I’m still not OK with Suburgatory’s midseason scheduling. What do you have to offset the sting? – Marty
How about… scoop? When the underappreciated gem (eventually) returns, George — still in a funk over his break-up with Dallas — finds his pity party interrupted by the arrival of his charming, ladies-man of a father. And the timing of his arrival is no coincidence (yes, we’re looking at you, Tessa).

Suburgatory: Scoop on the possibility of the show getting a full season for season 3 from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich

Here's some scoop on Suburgatory from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich's weekly column Matt's Inside Line for the week of 7/11/13.

If one of the new ABC comedies fails quickly, could ABC schedule Suburgatory for a full season? — @chloebates4
As previously Inside Line’d, though Suburgatory at this time has just a 13-episode order, for midseason, that total could in theory be increased – which would be Super Fun, right?

I was wondering if Suburgatory still has a 22-episode order, seeing how it’s been pushed to mid-season. –Stefan
Because it did wind up as a midseason entry, Suburgatory was renewed for just 13 episodes, I am hearing — though with success ABC can always add to that order.

Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some information on which shows ABC has canceled:

On the cancellation front, Malibu Country, Body of Proof, How to Live With Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life), Red Widow and Happy Endings have been axed (full story on H.E.‘s demise here).

The fate of freshman sitcoms The Neighbors and Family Tools is TBD.

My thoughts: In terms of all the shows that ABC has renewed for the 2013-2014 TV season, most of these renewals don't come as a surprise to me. Although, I am kind of surprised that Nashville has been renewed despite what a lot of entertainment news reporters had been saying about the show's renewal chances. From where I'm standing, Nashville's ratings haven't been very good for most of the season, so I wasn't expecting it to be renewed. I've never watched Nashville before, but I'm definitely happy for the show's fans that it has been renewed.

Suburgatory's ratings weren't the greatest this year, so I was definitely kind of worried that the show might be canceled. I'll admit that it took a while for Suburgatory to grow on me, but I've really come to love the show, so I'm thrilled that it has been renewed as well. Suburgatory is an incredibly underrated show, if you ask me. Last Man Standing's renewal is a little bit surprising to me, but I do kind of like the show, so I'm glad that it has been renewed. I guess the ABC network executives were happy with Last Man Standing's ratings on Friday nights this past season. In terms of all the other shows that have been renewed, none of these renewals come as a surprise to me. With the exception of Castle, which I only watch occasionally, I watch all of these shows every week and consider them to be some of my favorite TV shows, so I'm really happy that they've all been renewed.

When it comes to the shows that ABC has canceled, the only cancellation that I'm truly upset about is Happy Endings, but I can't say that I didn't see the show's cancellation coming given how bad its ratings were this past season. In case I haven't already made it perfectly clear to anybody who reads my blog on a regular basis, Happy Endings is one of my top favorite comedies, so I really hope that the USA network does end up picking up the show for a fourth season like they've apparently expressed interest in doing. Happy Endings is a truly hilarious and underrated show, so I would hate to see it end now.
