People online reports a bit of nice news today for folks into celebrity babies. Ugly Betty star Rebecca Romijn, 35, and her husband Jerry O’Connell, 34, of the sitcoms Carpoolers and Do Not Disturb are expecting twin girls this winter, the first children for both. Congratulations!
And for those who’ve noticed and question the seemingly disproportionate number of twins born to actresses these days, the website makes sure to clarify that the “twins were conceived without the help of in vitro fertilization or the fertility drug Clomid.”
I guess it must be true since an unnamed source told them …read more

If you liked the recently canceled ABC sitcom Carpoolers, you’re going to love the April 28 episode of Samantha Who?. That’s because none other than Laird, also known as Jerry O’Connell in real life, guest stars.
He plays a supposed stranger that Samantha meets and promptly asks out on “The Gallery Show.” It’s soon revealed the two may not be so unknown to each other after all, however.
NOTE THE TIME CHANGE: On April 28, Samantha Who? airs on ABC from 9:38pm–10:38pm EST.

Original Air Date: March 4, 2008
As much as it pains me to say it, “Take Your Daughter to Work Day,” almost certainly the series finale, gets my vote as perhaps the worst episode of Carpoolers. It’s too bad the sitcom had to go out with such a weak showing. Then again, saving the not-so-good for last means fans have a longer continuous string of previous well-done episodes to remember fondly.

As the title of the episode states, it’s Take Your Daughter to Work Day at AUBREY’s job, and he brings along his little girl MICHELLE (Guest Star China Anderson). …read more

Original Air Date: February 26, 2008
This episode gets off to a hilarious start when MARMADUKE, decked out in his Sunday best (his mom LEILA tells him he looks like the president), heads toward the carpooling car one morning while a terrified LAIRD, AUBREY, and DOUGIE instinctively lock the doors to keep him out because he’s too big to fit comfortably. It turns out their instincts were correct because as soon as Marmaduke gets in the car, he takes up half the space. Worse, he gives the guys a Pet Sounds DVD to play that’s exactly what the title …read more

Original Air Date: February 19, 2008
The guys are in the car with AUBREY driving, DOUGIE in the passenger seat, and GRACEN and LAIRD in the backseat. Aubrey’s grooving and singing along to a tape of his 12-year-old daughter SHAWNA (Guest Star Jay Jay Ellis) playing the piano version of a song called “Milkshake.” Dougie likes the tune, too; but in back, Gracen and Laird are grimacing. When Aubrey reveals Shawna has a recital on Sunday, Dougie volunteers that all of the carpoolers will come, despite the pinches from the backseat to shut him up.
Later, Laird meets Dougie …read more

Poor Aubrey. On the March 4th episode of Carpoolers, “Take Your Daughter to Work Day,” he gets booted from his job after he’s discovered impersonating his boss.
Poor Carpoolers fans, too, because this episode is the 13th and final installment of the sitcom produced to date. Since it’s unlikely that ABC will renew the series for a second season, mark your calendar for this episode and enjoy the gang while you can.
Carpoolers airs Tuesdays on ABC at 9:30pm EST.

On “Lost in America,” the February 26th episode of Carpoolers, Marmaduke gets a taste of tough love from his father Gracen when the senior Brooker refuses to pat his son on the head for his latest business scheme, er, venture — cutting lawns with sheep.
Yes, people, sheep. Is there a parent anywhere in the United States that would support their grown child doing something like that for a living?
In any case, ever-crafty Marmaduke manages to find a replacement dad after he moves in with one of his biological father’s carpooling buddies. Guess which one.
