GRANDFATHERED: Superb Comedy Show Coming Your Way! – Stamos and Edie
How do you handle being told that the single lifestyle is over because of your unexpected Fatherhood? Roll tape to 2015, check out the reaction, when Gerald (Josh Peck, “The Mindy Project”) comes knocking on Jimmy’s door with his baby daughter, Edie. So, not only is Jimmy faced with the shocking news that he has an adult son with former girlfriend, rocker-chick-turned-mother Sara (Paget Brewster, “Criminal Minds,” “Community”) but, he finds out that he is a grandfather too. Yep, read my lips … GRANDFATHER to cute little Miss Edie! Jimmy is not taking this all too well but he is willing to give it a go … on his terms.
How will Jimmy handle this turn of affairs? The episode I watched shows Jimmy grappling with this new experience of suddenly being a father and grandfather, and he is losing it in one hysterical moment after another. As the episode unfolds, we meet other concerned folks who are keeping tabs on Jimmy and his new situation: Jimmy’s restaurant family is concerned, especially assistant manager, Annelise (Kelly Jenrette, “Audrey”), and chef Ravi (Ravi Patel, “Super Fun Night”). Gerald’s mother, Jimmy’s former girlfriend Sara, is not amused. Gerald’s Baby Mama, Vanessa (Christina Milian, FAMILY GUY, “Baggage Claim”), is all in their business making demands of Gerald and dissing Jimmy. She leaves little Edie with Gerald and Jimmy as she gallivants around town doing her own thing.
So, how will Jimmy handle this turn of affairs? Will this rekindle an old flame with a woman more his age, even though, he dates women half his age? Will Jimmy be able to tend to a demanding toddler whose needs are greater than his own? Stay tuned and watch this laugh-a-minute show when it premieres Tuesday. The cast of characters is well developed, the humor is tight, and the show should give you food for thought and a lot of laughter this fall. Don’t miss the series premiere of GRANDFATHERED starting Tuesday 8/7c on FOX!

GRANDFATHERED: Superb Comedy Show Coming Your Way! – Stamos, Peck, Edie, and The Cast
GRANDFATHERED: Superb Comedy Show Coming Your Way! – Stamos, Peck and Edie
During BlogHer 2015 in New York City, a group of bloggers were invited to attend a meet and greet with Josh Peck, and to watch a short preview of the upcoming show. The video was our introduction to the cast and the show, and it was hysterical. I have fond memories of the scene showing Edie running through the restaurant, with John right behind her, eager to snatch her up and whisk her back to her hideout in the kitchen. The reactions from some of the restaurant guests were priceless. After the preview, we sat back and enjoyed a Q & A with Josh Peck. He soon had us laughing out loud too. He shared stories about his journey to stardom and the challenges along the way. His answers were sincere and funny. To wrap up the event, Josh agreed to pose with any blogger who wanted a photo opportunity and he was very patient about it. I loved the event, meeting Josh Peck, and the Q &A. I look forward to the show’s premiere next Tuesday.

I always thought Josh was a really funny guy. It will be fun to see him and Stamos play off of each other.
They are terrific together and their sense of humor works well together… I like the cast of characters they picked.
This would be something to watch that would be worth the time. As I was reading your post, it made me more and more interested in it. This is so close to reality! I’m excited to see it.

Hahaha! I remember them well… They were very funny movies/TV shows. This is hysterical! 🙂
This looks like a good show. I need to watch this when it airs.
Stay tuned for Tuesday the 29th, it is a very funny show! 🙂
Grandfather seems like it is going to be a hit! After all, the sexy, full house John Stamos is acting in it. Must watch!

As a still fairly new grandmother, I would be interested in this show, granted I do not do too much television watching. Thanks for the heads up!
I think you’d find it quite entertaining… Add this one to your short list. 😉
This sounds like a fun movie! John Stamos would be a good fit for this role, I think, and no doubt it’s full of laughs! I can’t imagine being in that position! lol
I laughed a lot when I watched the episode and it is a really funny show…
John Stamos is a fave of mine. I like the looks of this show and will be watching it.
Great. I’ve always enjoyed his sense of humor. 😉
I honestly cannot wait to watch this comedy starring John Stamos. I love the story line already :).
The story-line caught my eye too and when I watched the episode at the BlogHer Conference, I was sold.
I have been a John Stamos fan since the first time I saw him on Full House. I already have Sept 29 marked on my calendar so I can catch the premiere of Grandfathered.
Awesome Lori! It’s really funny too. 😉
I loved John Stamos back then. This sounds like a really nice show and I would love to see it.

Ohh I want to see this! I’m a big fan of John Stamos!
Likewise. It’s a very funny show and I plan to watch the series.

Hahaha! Josh is a good guy and funny too. They work well together.
This sounds like a funny show. I will have to check it out. Thank you for sharing.

Oh my home away from home… Maybe it will come there eventually.
This is a show I am excited to see, it looks really entertaining.
I love a good laugh and it delivers. 🙂
Sitcoms have become a dying art. I hope this one lives up to the history of sitcoms and that it is given a fair chance rather than snatched by the network.
Good point Katrina. The networks cancel shows a lot, and it’s hard to keep track of what’s new and what’s gone. This one should do well.
Looking forward to it!
Likewise. 😉
OMG, you just gave me and the hubby our newest coffee date show! Love John Stamos here. loved him then, and I still think he’s hot.
Hahaha! Watch the show and Let me know what you think?
I shall. I’m just not sure they show it in Asia yet, but I’ll look for it.:)
awww…this looks like a funny show to watch. I’m looking forward to see it!
You’ll enjoy the humor, Dhemz!
I LOVE John Stamos. Am just re-watching Full House with my kids now. This looks like fun!
It’s is such fun and John always made me laugh.
I ended up watching the preview by myself and then with my husband. I think John Stamos looks even better as a middle aged man…maybe the crazy 80s and 90s hair was what did it for me earlier. We’re looking it up now to see if we can catch up on the series!!
It’s a new show and will start on Tuesday. You haven’t missed a thing. 🙂
I will definitely be watching!!
I think I have seen the advertisement for Grandfathered. Looks like a great show.
“Tis quite the funny one too. 😆
Sounds like fun!!! I def need to check that out.
You’ll enjoy it. 😉
i remember watching movies with John Stamos while in high school. God, time seems to fly sometimes! I heard a lot about this movie – I’m planning on seeing it!
I haven’t watched TV for more almost 4 years now, we threw away the last TV set we had haha. Not really familiar with stars of this new sitcom too, it looks promising though. I’m sure their target viewers will love it. 🙂
I love comedy shows, I think this one is right up my alley. I will check this out
I am so looking forward to watching this! Can’t wait, though I am going to have to come back from traveling first. 🙂
this seemed to be a really funny show..how I wish I can watch this 🙂
I bet this is a fun and hilarious movie to watch.
The last time I saw John Stamos on TV was on “Glee”. Like Patrick Dempsey, he aged very gracefully. Because of his experience in “Full House”, we know he can work with kids very well. – Fred
I’ll definitely going to check this out.
Sounds like a great show. I will have to check it out- thanks for the info!
This show sounds very entertaining. It has been so long since i’ve watched a comedy series. Last I’ve seen was Parks and Recreation. 🙂
Oh it looks like an interesting show. I’ll see if they have it on Netflix after the premier in the US
This guy in the movie turns out to be a “baby sitter” in the guise of a grandfather? Is this the movie all about? _ Gil Camporazo
Geez John Stamos does not age at all! I am interested in this show. I wonder if it’s something that my kids can watch as well. I will be tuning in to see how I like it. Thanks for sharing the information.
Now this looks promising, My wife needs to see this we might see it on the premier. Thank you for the review.
This sounds like a TV show I would actually enjoy! I can see myself sitting here laughing out loud all by myself with my cat watching me carefully to make sure I am really okay!
i would definitely watch this! i love josh peck, grew up watching his shows
I watched him on Full House and am excited about this!
Omg this sounds so funny! I just love John Stamos!
He is a very funny guy ! 🙂
My wife loves this kind of show and for me, just action films. But sometimes, I used to watched some family-oriented or comedy movies…when I have time.
It’s a new TV show and hopefully, it will be available worldwide at some point.
Aww uncle Jesse!! I’m definitely gonna be giving this new show a try! Yay for fall season!
This is a fresh storyline. A lot of movies already have the story of men finding out they are dads but to find out that one is a father AND a grandfather all in a day, that’s gonna be fun to watch, hah!
It looks like a really fun look at a switch in phase of life. You get to see the adoption, denial and the acceptance part that goes a long with a lot of laughter.
It looks like a good funny show, My bet, it would rate high in the TV ranking.
Poster looks really interesting and looking forward to watch this comedy series. Me and my hubby really enjoys watching comedy shows together.
This would be fun to watch. I dunno know who John Stamos is but sounds like a great movie/show.
This looks like a feel-good, funny TV show. Will watch this with my daughter.
Haven’t watched this one but I’m already hooked up because of your review. The story is something new for me so I will definitely check this out. 😉
This looks like a great show. I am going to watch
I have shared this post to my daughter. She loves watching comedy shows.
