Greetings, live from TV Press Tour

OK, you got me. There is no TV Press Tour this January. But if there were, this is the sort of thing you’d be reading right about now:

Brooke Shields on her upcoming series, “Lipstick Jungle:” “It’s about the journey of these three women, actually, and while going on this journey the women make choices just as an actor makes choices, so I’m finding I really relate to my character.”

Jeffrey Tambor on his upcoming sitcom, “Welcome to the Captain:” “I really had to dig deep to find this character. He may be a sort of generic sitcom eccentric, but he has levels of depth that are truly exciting to explore and discover as I go on this journey with him.”

Carrie Ann Inaba on “Dance Wars: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann:” “The excitement of this show is in watching these dancers as they go on this journey, to discover things within themselves that perhaps they didn’t know were there. That’s exciting for them, and that’s exciting for me, and that’s exciting for the viewers, too, I hope.”

Craig Bierko on his new sitcom, “Unhitched:” “I think there’s a lot of anxiety out there right now amongst thirtysomethings regarding relationships – will I ever meet the right person, will I ever be happy, that sort of thing. And at its heart, that’s what our show is exploring – our characters are on this journey of discovery – and then, of course, there are the monkey-sodomy jokes.”

Kyle Chandler on “Friday Night Lights:” “Yeah, people still aren’t watching. I don’t know why. But it’s been a privilege to explore this character and find out what makes him tick. He’s a man who is on a journey and I’m taking that journey with him, and I’ll do it until NBC pries my last paycheck out of my dead, cold hands.”

Executive producer Richard McKerrow on “Baby Borrowers:” “It truly is a social experiment. We’re following teenagers as they go on a journey to discover deep and profound things about themselves, and we’re doing it while trying to make money off of them at the same time.”

NBC Entertainment president Ben Silverman: “I’m very excited about our lineup during the strike. I think that what we’re putting on the air is as good as what we’d be putting on the air if there wasn’t a strike. But maybe that’s the problem.”
