PICK-UP NEWS/CANCELLATION

The CW darkly comedic hour-long pilot Insatiable [which was not picked up for the 2017-2018 TV season], that was to star former Disney star Debby Ryan, seems to be on the path to be picked up by Netflix with a proposed 13 episode series order. The series was inspired by real-life Southern lawyer and top beauty pageant coach Bill Alverson, focusing on Bob, a disgraced, dissatisfied civil lawyer-turned-beauty pageant coach who takes on Patty (Ryan), a vengeful, bullied teenager as his client, and has no idea what he’s about to unleash upon the world. The cast also includes Christopher Gorham (Ugly Betty) [among others] including Charmed alum Alyssa Milano in a major recurring role. (Deadline)

As of today, it has been seven years since I launched Rueben’s Ramblings, as a companion site to my long-running, weekly column over at NiceGirlsTV.
It is hard for me to believe that it has been that long since I started this site, but it certainly has been an amazing journey!! It wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my readers.
As I have done in the past, I want to thank everyone who has stopped by to read my entertainment reports, all the articles and spotlights, the year-end round-ups and the ratings results – among all the other “stuff” – that I have posted here over the years.
My time working on this site has also been made all the better thanks to the help of my photographer Dominick Dusseault and my new monthly guest commentator, Roz.
I hope you will continue to visit Rueben’s Ramblings as often as you can.
