Who didn’t see this coming, like, during the very first episode?
Entertainment Weekly reported the rumor first on Thursday: after just three little-watched episodes, Do Not Disturb will allegedly air no more due to Fox’s decision to cancel the series. Of course, since the unofficial confirmation came from some of those always unidentified “inside sources,” the network hasn’t had the chance to play catch up with a formal announcement yet. I reckon it won’t be long now.
This entirely expected outcome — it was only a matter of when, not if — follows right on the heels of a September …read more

It’s too bad. I really, really want to like Do Not Disturb because I really, really like Reno 911! player Niecy Nash. Unfortunately, however, the show isn’t doing anything so far to help me out in that department. If you thought the series premiere was a sign of bad things to come, it’s unlikely the show’s second episode will change that foreboding feeling.
Despite a few funny moments, the humor is nowhere near as plentiful and consistent as it should be on a sitcom. Plus, the overemphasis placed on the character Larry’s …read more

This is the one with “big” guest star Audrina Patridge of MTV’s fake yet popular reality series The Hills.
The plot doesn’t sound like it diverges much from last week’s Do Not Disturb series premiere, either, which primarily focused on adults behaving immaturely when it comes to sex-related stuff.
This time around, general manager Neal hangs a life-sized birdcage in the hotel’s bar to showcase female employees he considers attractive, which understandably and predictably gets the panties of Human Resources boss Rhonda in all kinds of twists.
A selection of photos from the episode follows the jump.

Let me just get this out of the way: I used to like Niecy Nash, but after a recent interview she graciously participated in to spread the word about her new Fox sitcom Do Not Disturb, I absolutely love her.
Do Not Disturb is a workplace comedy set at the posh and highly successful New York City hotel The Inn. The comedienne and actress probably most familiar to many TV watchers as Reno 911!’s straight-talking Deputy Raineesha Williams plays the more mainstream yet no less direct character Rhonda Peete, the head of The Inn’s Human Resources department.
Nash describes the competent executive …read more

Get a first look at “Work Sex,” the premiere episode of Fox’s new sitcom Do Not Disturb in the stills after the jump.
The series begins tomorrow night at 9:30pm EST, immediately after the third-season premiere of ‘Til Death, although the first episode isn’t the pilot, which was postponed until later. Perhaps network executives think having “sex” in the title and lots of naughty dialogue will make viewers come running. Maybe, maybe not…

Darn it!
Earlier today, I had the opportunity to participate in an interview with the one and only Niecy Nash, star of Comedy Central’s ridiculous — and I mean that in such a good way — Reno 911!, not to mention the upcoming Fox fall sitcom Do Not Disturb.
I knew it would probably lead to nothing, especially considering the Q&A was in support of the Fox show. But how could I possibly pass up this unique chance to get some scoop on who died at the end of Reno 911!’s fifth-season finale, “The Parade”?
Most bets, including mine, seem to be …read more

Do Not Disturb, Fox’s latest sitcom, launches next Wednesday, September 10, at 9:30pm EST with the series premiere alluringly titled “Work Sex.” Take a closer look at the show’s cast in the photos the network recently released. Images follow the jump.

Fox has decided not to launch its new sitcom Do Not Disturb with the pilot episode on Wednesday, September 10, at 9:30pm EST. Instead, the series premiere will be an installment called “Work Sex.” Here’s what it’s all about:
Most of the plot develops from a magazine article that details the sex-related antics of the staff, particularly general manager Neal (Jerry O’Connell), at the swank New York City hotel called The Inn. In response, Rhonda (Niecy Nash), the head of Human Resources, tries to put a leash on the employees. That’s no biggie, until Rhonda herself is tempted …read more

NOTE: This series and recap contain very mature themes and language.
Well, Lieutenant Dangle sure is excited on the fifth-season finale of Reno 911!. The reason is the upcoming statewide Law Enforcement Parade that will take place in Carson City. While the boss seems to think the team agreed to go with the theme “Together We Are United,” Jones ends up hitting him with a chair because he’s convinced the agreed-upon theme is “We Can Do This.”

I will not tell a lie. The fifth-midseason, summer premiere of Reno 911! didn’t work for me at all. But that happens on improvised series. They either tend to hit the funny bone or miss it all together, with little in between, so better luck next time.
The central plot of the episode involves Jackie DiMartino, a prostitute known by the entire Sheriff’s Department. She spends the whole half-hour in the hospital, dying of lupus. The Reno cops take turns visiting …read more
