Anyone checking it out tonight? It looks kind of cute. It's a comedy about a wedding day, and the season will be sort of like 24 is done, only without all the shooting and bombs and terrorists. ;)
From the official site (http://abc.go.com/primetime/bigday/index):
Each season, the show 24 tackles one very, very bad day in the life of a special agent in charge of national security. This fall ABC will also present one very, very bad day in someone's life... a young couple's wedding day in the beautiful backyard of a family home. And while no one is defusing a nuclear bomb - they're arguing about when the salad is going to be served - the stakes (as anyone who has been through a wedding knows) are just as high.
Big Day tells the stories you don't see on the wedding video -- the father who sits his daughter down on the morning of her big day and tells her he really doesn't think she should marry this guy; the bitter bridesmaid older sister who sleeps with the best man and accidentally drinks his contact lenses, which he left in a glass of water on the nightstand, blinding him for the rest of the proceedings; the groomsman who's secretly in love with the groom; the tightly wound mother of the bride who intimidates the nervous wedding planner into changing the salad (the bride's choice, Caesar, is just so tacky!).
Big Day stars Marla Sokoloff (ABC's The Practice) as Alice and Josh Cooke as Danny - the blushing bride and groom -- Wendie Malick (Just Shoot Me) as Jane, Kurt Fuller (Anger Management) as Steve, Miriam Shor as Becca, Stephen Rannazzisi as Skobo and the hilariously nervous Stephnie Weir (FOX's Mad TV) as Lorna.
The writers of What Women Want and 13 Going on 30 take a full season to dissect the biggest day in any family's life (from waking up in the AM to the honeymoon suite). Tapping into the charm of such romantic comedies as Wedding Crashers and the real horror of Bridezillas, they bring us the crazy chaos and the love that ultimately marks everyone's Big Day. The series is executive-produced by Josh Goldsmith, Cathy Yuspa and Matthew Carlson.
