“Big Day” premieres to mixed reviews
Written by Administrator on December 4th, 2006Wendie Malick plays the uptight mom in the new series “Big Day,” which seeks to take us through the final moments of wedding planning 24-style, hour-by-hour. The Detroit News thinks it’s a winner. Rocky Mountain News and Hollywood Insider seem to agree.
I confess. I missed it. But I’m setting the TiVo to make up my own my mind, as my horoscope suggests I do (make up my mind, not set the TiVo, that is). There were certainly enough people who didn’t think it was worth watching, and many said that what kind of salad should be served isn’t that pressing. Those people obviously haven’t planned a wedding.
I think that if you are looking for the suspense of 24, then this isn’t going to do it. It has the potential to be funny, though, especially with Brian Benben and Wendie Malick.
I’ll give it a watch and get back to you. If you’d like to add your opinion, feel free to comment. It currently airs at 9 p.m. on ABC (that’s channel 7 for those of us in the New York market, channel 6 for those linked to Philly).
