Do Not Disturb - TV Show


Set in one of New York City's hottest hotels, Do Not Disturb follows the behind the scenes antics of The Inn. Recently named one of New York City's "10 Best Places to Stay," The Inn is the place to be, with the top clientele and staff. Though The Inn's owner, R.J. (Robert Wagner) takes all of the credit for the hotel's success, Neal (Jerry O'Connell) is just egotistical enough to believe the success is all his doing and will do everything in his power to keep the hotel up to his high standards.


Also working at The Inn is Rhonda (Niecy Nash), the head of Human Resources, who spends her day keeping Neal in check with a daily dose of brutal honesty and her own set of high standards to follow. The front desk is handled by Nicole (Molly Stanton), a former model who checks guests in while wearing 6-inch Manolos. Jason (Brando Eaton), is a Nebraska native and naive to the ways of the world, but was hired as a bellman to show off his perfect face and pecs. Rounding out the staff are Molly (Jolene Purdy), the reservations clerk who dreams of being a pop singer; and Larry (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), the head of housekeeping who does more talking than cleaning.


“DO NOT DISTURB (working title) is a hilarious workplace comedy set at one of New York City's hottest and hippest hotels: The Inn. Named one of the Big Apple's "10 Best Places to Stay," The Inn is just that - the "in" place to be, with its chic decor, stylish staff and celebrity clientele. Behind the scenes, however, the upstairs/downstairs dynamic tells quite a different story.


The hotel's top-notch reputation and sophisticated look is due in large part to NEAL (Jerry O'Connell, "Crossing Jordan") - at least in his opinion. Although The Inn's charismatic owner R.J. (guest star Robert Wagner) takes all the credit, Neal is the egotistical, hyper-stylish, detail-oriented general manager who will do whatever it takes to keep the hotel and its employees up to his standards.”


After three episodes aired, the show was rumored to be canceled on September 24, 2008. FOX officially canceled the sitcom the following day, making it the first cancellation of the 2008-09 season.

90210

90210 looks at life through the eyes of Annie Wilson (Shenae Grimes) and her brother Dixon Wilson (Tristan Wilds), who learn from their first day at West Beverly Hills High School that they're not in Kansas anymore.

The Wilson family, including dad Harry Wilson (Rob Estes) and mom Debbie (Lori Loughlin), has relocated to Beverly Hills to keep an eye on Harry's mother Tabitha (Jessica Walter), a feisty-but-faded former television star and a charter member of the Betty Ford Clinic.

For Annie and Dixon, the awkwardness of being the new kids is made worse by the fact that their dad has taken a job as the high school principal.

The school is one big culture shock for Annie, a sweet and friendly girl with a passion for the theater, and Dixon, a star athlete and scholar who was adopted by the Wilson family after they took him in as a foster child.




Annie and Dixon have a close sibling relationship, which they'll need to help them cope with all the new cliques and classmates, including Naomi Clark (AnnaLynne McCord), a hot, spoiled, rich girl; Ethan (Dustin Milligan), a popular jock whose abilities rival Dixon's; Navid (Michael Steger), an aspiring reporter who heads up the school's daily newscast; and Erin "Silver" Silver (Jessica Stroup), a rebel who produces and stars in a YouTube-type video series.


Even the faculty seems hip and sophisticated at WBHHS, such as smart and funny teacher Ryan Matthews (Ryan Eggold), beautiful guidance counselor Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth), and successful theater actress turned high school musical director Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty).


The Wilson family has just begun to realize how much their lives are about to change.
