Disney is in early development on a live-action “Inspector Gadget” movie and has set up the project with “Aladdin” producers Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich at their Rideback banner.

Disney has hired Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell, best known as “Saturday Night Live” writers, to work on the script.

“Inspector Gadget” originated in 1983 as an animated science-fiction comedy co-created by Bruno Bianchi, Andy Heyward and Jean Chalopin. It was originally syndicated by Dic Entertainment and Lexington Broadcasting Service.

Don Adams, best known for starring in “Get Smart,” supplied the voice of the title character who had his body equipped with an array of devices to battled with his enemy, Dr. Claw, leader of an organization named M.A.D. Gadget’s niece Penny and her dog Brain turned out to have the smarts to stop Dr. Claw.

Disney made a live-action movie in 1999 with Matthew Broderick as the titular character,...

I will hand it to The Playboy Club. For the majority of this episode, I really did think Bruno Bianchi's murder was the subject of this week's complication. Alas, it was A Matter of Simple Duplicity and, somehow, this less-than-stellar show pulled the wool over my eyes. Or did it?

We know at least two Bunnies have fallen to the dark side, but they left it open as to who Nick really protected in the end, as his interest really lies in defending the Club.

New Bunny auditions

Things don't always go as planned in Bunnyland. Carol-Lynne unwittingly hired an undercover reporter as the newest Bunny, but her tenure was thankfully short-lived and there was little damage in her wake. Narrowly escaping the big expose, we discovered murdering Bunnies are all the rage in Chicago and that Janie's secrets run much deeper than she let Max know.

Oh what...

Lots of news coming across the wire for Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s new show “The Playboy Club“…

First of all, the show’s creator just tweeted that they were the #1 most popular new drama series on Hulu for the entire week!! Congrats to the cast and crew!

In other news, the show continues to grow. They just added Billy Zane to the cast, and TV Guide reports that the ‘Titanic‘ actor will…

“…play the recurring role of Oscar Bianchi beginning in the sexy series’ sixth episode. Oscar is described as the cool-headed but ruthless younger brother of Chicago Mafia boss Bruno Bianchi, who was murdered in the first episode during an altercation with Bunny Maureen (Amber Heard). He returns to Chicago to avenge the death of his brother and challenge his nephew, John Bianchi (Troy Garity), for leadership of the entire organization.”

Finally, if you fell in love with the...

Considering its dismal series premiere ratings, perhaps The Playboy Club should have thought twice before hiring an actor from Titanic.

But William Keck of TV Guide Magazine reports that Billy Zane will portray Oscar Bianchi on the NBC drama, debuting on episode six as the younger sibling of Chicago Mafia boss Bruno Bianchi. The latter was killed during an altercation on the pilot.

Look for Oscar to challenge his nephew for control of the crime organization.

Billy has appeared on such shows as Boston Public, Charmed, Samantha Who? and The Deep End.

"The Playboy Club" premiered Monday night on NBC - what did you think of the bunnies and their men in 1963 Chicago?

We found ourselves surprisingly enjoying the premiere, which honestly we did not expect. The feel of the show was really fun, led by the sets and costumes plus the guest star Jenifer Lewis as Tina Turner.

But what will keep us coming back for more are two things - the mystery and the potential exploration of the time period.

First, the mob aspect. Amber Heard's bunny Maureen kills who is known to most people as married businessman Clyde Hill, as he attacks her in the store room. It turns out he's Bruno Bianchi, the head of the family. Dashing Nick Dalton (Eddie Cibrian), the high-powered lawyer with a State's Attorney race looming and old mob ties, steps into the fight and then helps Maureen dispose of the body...

After weeks of hype, the series premiere of The Playboy Club aired on NBC tonight.

Tonally, Hugh Hefner's narration was slightly off-putting... even though I loved the The Girls Next Door and got a kick every time the Bunnies headed for the mansion. But Hef is so darn old and this show was meant to feel fresh and young. Or so I thought.

We learned straight away that Nick Dalton was an important member of The Playboy Club. He not only had bragging rights to the first Bunny, but planted his eyes on the new cigarette girl, Maureen. Is it me, or does cigarette Bunny seem like one of the worst jobs in the establishment?

A pity that Nick, running for State's Attorney, was impatient and needed his smokes so badly. This lead him to the scuffle between Maureen and some bald dude who turned out to be mob leader Bruno Bianchi.

Chicago – In the four years since the pilot of “Mad Men,” there has been an obligatory and opportunistic surge of ‘60s-themed media, capitalizing on the rising nostalgia for the era of civil rights marches and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The tumultuous decade has been resurrected in everything from stylized contact lens commercials, to the lushly beautiful film “A Single Man,” to this season’s ABC pilot “Pan Am.”

TV Rating: 2.0/5.0

Thus, this season, four years into the pro-‘60s fervor, NBC brings us “The Playboy Club,” a stylized but unmemorable fiction set against the backdrop of Hugh Hefner’s real-life Chicago nightclub that was sprung of, and perhaps helped spring, the decade’s sexual revolution.

The pilot opens with the real Hugh Hefner’s raspy narration, and with it his implicit blessing on the series. But rather than taking this as a harbinger of intriguing things to come, by the end of the episode,...

Retro female flesh enthusiasts gather up: NBC's "Playboy Club" takes us back to when the men were men and the women were wives, stews, secretaries or bunnies.

Series executive producer Chad Hodge tells TVLine that Troy Garity (Barbershop) has landed the recurring role of John Bianchi, the “connected” son of Bruno Bianchi, a Chicago crime kingpin who meets an unexpected and grisly fate in the series premiere (airing Monday, Sept. 19).
