Her writing is deliciously warped and hysterical, despite the horror. The lines and quips are the razors edge a la \u201cFrazier\u201d, another sharply scripted series on NBC\/Paramount, which ran for eleven seasons between 1993 through 2004, returning with a new season at some point next year. I\u2019ll keep you posted on that. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I was thrilled by the star-studded cast in S.V., not knowing before watching, that I\u2019d be enjoying the talents of Courtney Cox, Greg Kinnear, Mira Sorvino, Judith Light, Gus Birney, Alysia Reiner, Parvesh Cheena, Merrin Dungey, Dylan Gage. (IKR?) These actors were SO spot-on. I am mentally clapping right now.<\/p>\n<p>Writer, Jeff Astrof&#8217;s, plans are for a seven session show, per his interview in \u201cThe Wrap\u201d. Unfortunately, the show was just canceled by STARZ because \u2026 who cares why. Hopefully, it will be picked up by another streaming service and we can continue enjoying the show. If not, enjoy the two seasons. They are both equally good, in my opinion. I\u2019ve enjoyed them almost as much as \u201cOzark\u201d. Haven&#8217;t seen that one yet? You can find it <em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/Ringsidereport.com\/?cat=22939\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Thus far, Shining Vale has won the following awards and nominations:<\/p>\n<p>Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror<br \/>\nSaturn Winner: Best Fantasy TV Series-Network\/Cable 2022 = Shining Vale<br \/>\nSaturn Nomination: Best Performance by a Younger Actor in a Network \/ Television Cable Series 2022 = Gus Birney<br \/>\nSaturn Nomination: Best Actress in a Network \/ Cable Television Series 2022 = Courtney Cox<br \/>\nWoman\u2019s Image Network Award Winner 2022: Outstanding Comedy Series = Shining Vale<br \/>\nWoman\u2019s Image Network Awards Winner 2022: Best Actress in a Comedy Series = Courtney Cox<br \/>\nWoman\u2019s Image Network Awards Nomination 2022: Actress Comedy Series = Mira Sorvino<br \/>\nWoman\u2019s Image Network Awards Nomination 2022: Scripted Show Director = Alethea Jones<\/p>\n<p>This series will continue to win awards if it continues to be, for sure. It&#8217;s just THAT good. Hopefully, it will be picked up by another streaming service now that Starz has cut ties with the show, allowing it to find a smart service provider to snatch it up.<\/p>\n<p>Given that Starz will be deleting the show from its line up at the end of this year, just days away, do yourselves a favor and download the two seasons now, so you can watch and hopefully, re-watch it before season 3 returns who knows where or when.<br \/>\nI enjoy critiquing films, food and coffee. This series pared well with ho-hos, zingers and a mocha-choca latte, not that those two treats classify as actual food \u2013 I&#8217;m just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Created by Sharon Horgan and Jeff Astrof.<\/p>\n<p>Cast:<br \/>\nCourtney Cox as Pat Phelps<br \/>\nGreg Kinnear as Terry Phelps<br \/>\nMira Sorvino as Rosemary<br \/>\nJudith Light as Joan<br \/>\nAlysia Reiner as Kathryn Dunn<br \/>\nGus Birney as Gaynor Phelps<br \/>\nDylan Gage as Jake Phelps<br \/>\nParvesh Cheena as Laird<br \/>\nMerrin Dungey as Kam<br \/>\nJames M.
