Joe E. Tata, the prolific and versatile TV actor whose most enduring role was as Nat Bussichio, the owner of the Peach Pit on “Beverly Hills, 90210,” has died. He was 85.
“90210” castmate Ian Ziering relayed the news on Facebook, and TMZ later confirmed his death, saying Tata had battled Alzheimer’s since 2014 (the year of his last credited role).
Ziering, who played Steve Sanders on the ’90s show, wrote: “Joey was truly an Og, I remember seeing him on the Rockford files with James Garner years before we worked together on 90210. He was often one of the background villains in the original Batman series. One of the happiest people I’ve ever worked with, he was as generous with his wisdom as he was with his kindness. Though the peach pit was a 90210 set, It often felt like the backdrop to the Joe E Tata show. The...

Having made her mark on the small screen with a role that won’t soon be forgotten, Sarah Michelle Gellar returned once more to television back in 2011 in The CW’s short-lived Ringer.
It looks like Gellar is now hoping to take the lead in a new programme, and if all goes well, will be venturing into the world of sitcoms for an untitled series that is currently being developed at Fox, TV Line report.
The show,
“chronicles the hijinks parents get into while their kids are not at home.”
And Gellar would be playing the wife/mother.
The script has been written by Shepard Boucher, whose credits include serving as a staff writer on Men at Work, starring Danny Masterson (That ’70s Show) and Adam Busch (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), which began airing last spring.
The project will reportedly be shopped to the major networks in the coming weeks,...

Some people belong on television. In my humble opinion, Sarah Michelle Gellar is one of those people. With the moody CW soap Ringer dead and buried after just one season, is Gellar ready for her next come-back?
According to the new TV Line exclusive, there’s a new half-hour comedy in the works and it’s got Gellar’s name all over it. I’m glad, of course, but my initial concern is, a comedy? Really?
The series, which is as of yet untitled, is being developed over at 20th Century Fox TV, which boys and girls, was also home to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Oooo! I can’t get a feel for whether this is clean fun, or one of those sitcoms that would air closer to my bedtime. Still, it has a family centric plot. It details the crazy capers parents can get caught up in when their kids are not at home.

The actress, who has been looking for a new project ever since the CW cancelled the production values-challenged Ringer last summer, is reportedly eyeing a comedy by Men at Work's Shepard Boucher that's in development at 20th Century Fox. It would be Gellar's second comedic outing since the failure of her 2009 HBO pilot, The Wonderful Maladys, in which she played an aggressive alcoholic of a dysfunctional family. This go-around, she'd play a fun housewife who has to find wacky ways to amuse herself once her children go off to school. It's a long way from Buffy, but we guess everything is.

Sarah Michelle Gellar's TV return in "Ringer" last year didn't work out so well. But she's looking to get back on your screen next season, this time in a comedy pilot.
Gellar is attached to an untitled comedy set up at 20th Century Fox TV, TVLine reports. It's about parents and what they do when the kids aren't around. Gellar would play one half of the show's central couple.
The pilot is based on a spec script by Shepard Boucher ("Men at Work"). Comedy veteran David Hemingson ("Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23," "Just Shoot Me") and Margaret Riley ("Love and Other Drugs") are on board as executive producers.
It doesn't have a network home yet but will be shopped around in the next few weeks. The networks have already made most of their script purchases for the coming development season, but with Gellar attached this one could easily stir interest.

If only it happened that way... Fans of the Real Housewives of New York City watched as former BFFs Jill Zarin and Bethenny Frankel clashed - then had a major fallout - on season 3 of their hit Bravo show, which aired earlier this year. Now, Bravo is revisiting the feud and animating it for good (and parodistic) measure. This Thursday, the channel will air the animated special Shep & Tiffany Watch TV: The Best of 2010 (11 p.m. Est) which revisits major pop culture moments of 2010 with a humorous - and snarky - perspective based on animated web shorts from Shepard Boucher.
