Unfortunately, this series was never in Germany ausgesgtrahlt. Here is an episode summary

(Source: epguides.com)

 

In der TV - Serie, die 4 Jahre danach gedreht wurde, schlüpft Robert Urich in die Rolle von Robert Culp.

 

Über den Inhalt der Serie kann ich leider nichts sagen, da dies die einzigste Serie mit Robert Urich ist, die ich selber noch nicht kenne. Es ist aber davon auszugehen, dass die die Handlung an den Kinofilm orientiert.

 

Hier noch 2 Bilder zur Serie:

 

In the TV - series that was filmed four years later, Robert Urich slips into the role of Robert Culp.

The content of the series I can not say anything because this is the only series with Robert Urich, I know not themselves. It is assumed that the plot is based on the movie.

Here are two pictures to the series:

Ich habe einige Screenshots gemacht, die Qualität ist nicht sonderlich gut, aber es handelt sich um sehr alte Aufnahmen, und da kann man nicht besseres mehr erwarten :)

 

I've made some screenshots, the quality is not very good, but it is very old recordings, and since you can not expect more better :)

DIE AUSGEFLIPPTEN (SOAP)

 

Diese spritzige und vor allem schwarzhumorige Sitcom parodiert in glänzender Weise die amerikanischen "Daily-Seifenopern" wie z.B. "Springfeild Story, General Hospital, Reich & schön, etc.) und nimmt jene Serien gewaltig auf die Schippe...

Zu der Serie entstand auch eine sehr erfolgreiche Spin-Off Serie mit den Namen "Benson", die ganze 8 Staffeln lang spielte und die Erlebnisse des Butlers Benson schilderte, der es schaffte,vom Hausbutler zum Senator des Vereinigten Staaten aufzusteigen...

 

In "Die Ausgeflippten" wirkte Robert Urich leider nur in der 1. Staffel mit, sprich in 7 Episoden. Robert Urich ereilte dort ein Serientod, der Kinogänger an den Hitchcock-Film "Psycho" erinnern läßt ;)

 

This lively and humorous parodies, especially black sitcom brilliantly the American "Daily soap operas" such as "Beautiful Guiding Light, General Hospital, Rich, etc.) and those series taking the mickey out huge ...

Among the series was also a very successful spin-off series with the name "Benson", the whole eight seasons played and described the experiences of the butler Benson, who managed the house for Senator Butler of the United States to rise ...

In "SOAP" Robert Urich had unfortunately only in the first Season with, ie in 7 episodes. Robert Urich suffered a Serientod there, the movie-goers in the Hitchcock movie "Psycho" can remember;)

 

Inhalt:

Businessman Chester Tate hat eine Vorliebe für außereheliche Beziehungen, was nicht verwunderlich ist, da seine Frau Jessica eine ausgeflippte Irre ist. Von ihren drei Kindern stellt Tochter Corinne stets ihre sexy Vorzüge in den Vordergrund, Eunice ist ruhig und konservativ und Billy ist ein verzogenes Gör. Jessicas Vater, der "Major", lebt bei den Tates. Meist kriecht er in seiner alten Armeeuniform auf dem Boden herum und spielt Zweiter Weltkrieg. Benson, ihr unverschämter schwarzer Koch und Butler, kommentiert alles und jeden. Als er die Familie verläßt (1979 bekommt er in den USA seine eigene Serie "Benson", siehe dort), wird Saunders sein Nachfolger. Jessicas Schwester Mary Campbell lebt mit Ehemann Burt am anderen Ende der Stadt. Sie haben nicht so viel Geld wie die reichen Tates. Burt muß sich hauptsächlich mit seinen Stiefsöhnen Jodie und Danny herumschlagen. Der eine ist schwul, der andere ins organisierte Verbrechen verwickelt. Die Lust auf heimlichen Sex bestimmt die meiste Zeit die Gedanken der Familienmitglieder.

 

Robert Urich spielte Peter Campbell, einen Schwerenöter, der sich durch die Betten der Frauen schläft, bis er eines Tages unter der Dusche ermordet wurde.

 

content:

Businessman Chester Tate has a penchant for extramarital affairs, which is not surprising, since his wife Jessica is a freaky insane. Of their three children, daughter Corinne always makes her sexy benefits to the fore, Eunice is quiet and conservative, and Billy is a spoiled brat. Jessica's father, the "Major", lives at the Tate. Mostly he crawls into his old army uniform around on the floor and plays World War II. Benson, her brazen black chef and butler says, everything and everyone. When he leaves the family (in the U.S. In 1979 he gets his own series "Benson", qv), Saunders will be his successor. Jessica's sister Mary lives with her husband Burt Campbell at the other end of town. You do not have as much money as the wealthy Tates. Burt must grapple mainly with his step-sons Danny and Jodie. One is gay, the other involved in organized crime. The desire for secret sex determined for most of the thoughts of family members.

Robert Urich played Peter Campbell, a lothario who sleeps through the beds of women, until one day he was murdered in the shower.

EMERIL (2001)

In Deutschland wurde diese Serie leider bis heute nie ausgestrahlt. Die Tatsache, dass sie nach nur 10 Folgen leider eingestellt wurde, hat natürlich auch dazu beigetragen, dass wir diese Serie wohl nie in deutscher Sprache zu sehen bekommen, da bleibt nur der Griff ins englische.

 

Die Zuschauer dieser Sitcom schauen hinter die Kulissen des Star-Kochs Emeril Lagasse. Zusammen mit seinem Produzenten Jerry (Urich) und dem Manager sorgen sie für hinter der Kamera für Tumult...

 

In Germany, this series was unfortunately never broadcast until now. The fact that it was discontinued after only 10 episodes, unfortunately, has obviously contributed to the fact that we get to see this series probably never in the German language, since only the handle remains in English.

The audience of this sitcom look behind the scenes of the Star chef Emeril Lagasse. Together with his producer Jerry (Urich) and the manager, they provide behind the camera for riot ...

Season 1
 
1. Fat
gs: Tricia O'Kelley (Tricia O'Connell) Tara Karsian (Nurse Smearball) Irene Olga Lopez (Woman) Bryan Handy (Audience Member #1) Jerry Pacific (Audience Member #2) Pamela Paulshock (Attractive Woman) 

 
Despite Emeril's high ratings, pint-sized network exec Trish is troubled by the fact that women are not fantasizing about the chef in his boxers. The network decides to launch a new campaign to "trim it down a notch," sponsoring a competition between their shows with a cash prize for the most weight lost. While the Emeril crew aren't thrilled by the prospect of dieting, the promise of money prompts Cass, Melva, and B.D. to put down the pork loin and jump on the treadmill. Even Jerry, once financially motivated, decides to join the fitness craze and shed some excess tonnage. All seems to be going well until Emeril, reluctantly heeding the network's wishes, switches to preparing low-cal cuisine on his show -- and finds himself staring down an angry, hungry mob.
 

b: 25-Sep-2001 pc: 103 w: F.J. Pratt & Dan Cohen d: Harry Thomason 

NOTE: Scheduled to premiere on 9/18/01 but, like many other shows, was pushed back a week due to the terrorist attack on America.
The featured recipe from this episode (which appeared on both NBC's and Emeril's official websites) was for "Classic Nawlins Bread Pudding."
During the final commercial break, a commercial was run for "Emerilware," Emeril's line of cookware.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
2. Fifteen Minutes
gs: Katy Selverstone (Christy) Channing Chase (Jane Benson) Kevin Cooney (Bill Benson) Kelvin Yu (The Camera Man) Mary Page Keller (Nora Lagasse) 

Despite misgivings about "going Hollywood," Emeril allows Jerry to talk him into participating in a segment of a hit primetime magazine show. Even though the gang insists they won't sell out for the camera, glamour-hounds Jerry, Cass, and Melva all find ways to pump up their appearances—and their roles in Emeril's success—for their interviews, and then have to scramble to put things right before Emeril sees the finished product.
 

b: 02-Oct-2001 pc: 106 w: Pamela Norris d: Harry Thomason 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
3. Blind Dates
gs: Molly Hagan (Joanna) Pepper Sweeney (Doug) Mark Christopher Lawrence (Matt) Randy J. Goodwin (Eric) 

Emeril plays Cupid to disprove the notion that there are "no good men out there" when the headstrong chef propositions his audience in search of eligible bachelors for a night of culinary and romantic interludes with Cass and Melva—but becoming a matchmaker proves to be harder than just shake-n'-bake.
 

b: 09-Oct-2001 pc: 104 w: David Nichols d: Harry Thomason 

NOTE: Molly Hagan starred with Emeril's Lisa Ann Walter in the 1996 sitcom Life's Work. Hagan is the second Emeril guest star that worked on that series -- the first was Tara Karsian, who guest starred in the Fat episode (and the later episodes Halloween and Snow Day).
The featured recipe from this episode (which appeared on both NBC's and Emeril's official websites) are for "Curry Crusted Lamb Chops with Garlic Wine Sauce and Potato Shallot Custards" and "Creole Corn and Crab Bisque."
Robert Urich says of Lisa Ann Walter's formerly-gay blind date, "He seemed a little too excited about a possible Designing Women reunion." Emeril, the sitcom, was created by Linda Bloodworth, the same creator behind Designing Women (and the reunion finally did materialize in 2003).

gs: Mary Page Keller (Nora Lagasse) Tricia O'Kelley (Trish O'Connell) Joey Roberts Mercado (Charlie Lagasse) Alexis Della Ripa (Halo Lagasse) Felicia Day (Cherie) Adam Carl (Frank) G.M. McGrath (Bobby) Sharon Madden (The Shopper) Susan Mullen (The Audience Member) 

Culinary Network executive Trish O'Connell gives Emeril exciting news: his show's high ratings have prompted the network to order 20 additional episodes. The catch? They want him to present a hipper image, complete with a new set and designer-label chef's jacket. Emeril's agent and friend Jerry McKenney and his staff— producer Cassandra "Cass" Gilman, stage manager Melva LeBlanc, and food stylist B.D. Benson—are all thrilled. However, Emeril quickly finds himself torn between the additional demands of his success and the fact that his wife Nora and three children James , Halo, and Charlie already consider him an absentee husband and father.
 

b: 16-Oct-2001 pc: 101 w: Linda Bloodworth-Thomason d: Harry Thomason 

NOTE: Scheduled to air on 9/25/01, but pushed back when the premiere was delayed. This episode was rescheduled several times and finally aired on 10/16/01.

gs: Mary Page Keller (Nora Lagasse) Vincent Pastore (Himself) Ray Laska (Vic Leopolis) John Cassini (Sammy) Frank D'Amico (Burt) 

When Emeril needs top quality beef for the upcoming meat lovers' show and the normal supplier comes up empty, Cass enlists some family help. Unfortunately, after a trip to a dark New Jersey pier for a beef drop with Melva and B.D., she realizes that her cousin, the entrepreneur, is involved with a different type of "family." Things get worse when crime boss/Tony Soprano wannabe Vic Leopolis tells Cass that in return for the favor, he wants Emeril, his favorite chef, to "kick it up a notch" and host Sunday dinner for the mob. Even guest star Vincent Pastore, visiting Emeril's cooking show to shoot a segment, is unable to provide Emeril with a solution to his Italian problem.
 

b: 23-Oct-2001 pc: 102 w: Linda Bloodworth-Thomason d: Harry Thomason 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
6. Halloween
gs: Tricia O'Kelley (Trish O'Connell) Tara Karsian (Nurse Smearball) Sean Vincent Biggins (Roy) Brad Bufanda (the Boy) 

While the rest of the Emeril crew gears up for Halloween, Emeril gets sucked into another one of Jerry's self-improvement schemes as the fleshy hipsters decide to secretly visit the plastic surgeon to remove their love handles via liposuction. Meanwhile, Trish tries to scare Cass, Melva, and B.D. by cracking down on the nudity, drunkenness and costume fires usually associated with the annual Food Channel Halloween party.
 

b: 30-Oct-2001 pc: 107 w: Linda Bloodworth-Thomason d: Harry Thomason

7. The Sidekick
gs: Burt Reynolds (Himself) Tricia O'Kelley (Trish O'Connell) Darlene Kardon (Alice) Dona Hardy (Gladys) Brandon Jones (Brandon) 

A quick bit of on-air male bonding inspires the Food Channel to push Emeril into a new type of cooking show with a new sidekick: Jerry. However, after he receives a taste of fame—including some commentary from his "celebrity friend" and guest star, Burt Reynolds—Jerry's ego "kicks it up a notch," much to the annoyance of Cass, Melva, and B.D.
 

b: 11-Dec-2001 pc: 110 w: F.J. Pratt & Dan Cohen d: Harry Thomason 

NOTE: Originally scheduled to air on November 6, 2001.

Against their will, Emeril and his staff are forced to attend a Food Network "Team Building Retreat" in the Adirondacks, where they have to climb walls, swing on ropes and jump off a tall tower. Much to the envy of Emeril and Jerry, the women -- Cass, Melva, B.D. and Trish -- run into Bo Derek who is there to speak at a seminar for "Women Who Are Too Beautiful." Discovering that Bo is an animal lover, Jerry borrows Emeril's joke bear suit as a novel way to approach her, with disastrous results. (NBC)

The chef quickly finds himself holding the fate of cornbread lovers nationwide in his hands as he is forced to decide between the two recipes. Emeril's decision sends shock waves through Harlem, prompting a mass protest from Rev. Dr. Preston Washington Sr. and some hostile words from Trish. (NBC)

In dieser serie spielt Bob Urich zusammen mit Scott Bakula ("Zurück in die Vergangenheit", "Star Trek: Enterprise", "NCIS New Orleans") die Hauptrollen. Beide spielen darin zwei ehemalige Football-Spieler, die sich eine Wohnung teilen und jeder gerne jeden Rock hinterherschauen und alten Zeiten hinterhertrauern. Eine weitere Hauptrolle spielte Markie Post ("Ein Colt für alle Fälle", "Harrys wundersames Strafgericht") Ursprünglich waren für diese Serie allerdings  Burt Reynolds vorgesehen. Als weitere Co-Stars wurden Joe Bologna und Michele Lee verpflichtet. Doch auch die schieden aus und neben Scott Bakula hatte man mit Markie Post und Adam Arkin zwei Schauspieler für den Pilot geholt. Arkin wurde dann durch Robert Urich ersetzt. Es ist jedoch möglich, dass Scott Bakula und Markie Post nur für eine Gastrolle für die Pilotfolge vorgesehen waren. Bakula selbst soll dies in einem Interview erzählt haben.

 

Zudem ist auch nicht klar, ob die Serie nun "Late Boomers" oder "Late Bloomers" hiess. Die einen Quellen schreiben so, die anderen so. Selbst Bob Urich hatte aucf eine Fanfrage mit "Late Bloomers" geantwortet, jedoch ist die Mehrheit im Internet unter "Late Boomers" zu finden.

 

From this planned series only only the pilot episode and two episodes was produced but never aired. In this series Bob Urich plays along with Scott Bakula ( "Quantum Leap," "Star Trek: Enterprise," "NCIS New Orleans") the leading roles. Both play in two former football players who share an apartment and everyone likes it past every rock and behind mourn ancient times. Another major role played Markie Post ( "The Fall Guy", "Night Court") were originally for this series, however, Burt Reynolds provided. Other costars Joe Bologna and Michele Lee were committed. But the left and next to Scott Bakula had brought with Markie Post and Adam Arkin two actors for the pilot. Arkin was then replaced by Robert Urich.
However, it is possible that Scott Bakula and Markie Post had provided only for a guest role in the pilot episode. Bakula is said to have told this in an interview.


In addition, is also not clear whether the series now "Late Boomers" or "Late Bloomers" was called. Some sources attribute so that other way. Even Bob Urich had responded to a fan question with "Late Bloomers", but the majority of the Internet at is to find "Late Boomers".

oday's crop of rumors--non Trek!

By Army Archerd, Daily Variety Senior Columnist
Late changes on ``Late Boomers'' since Burt Reynolds' departure last weekend: Scott Bakula in talks Wednesday to replace Reynolds, and Michele Lee, who was to have played Reynolds' ex-wife, was let go. Lee's casting involved her taking days off her smash performance in B'way's ``Tales of the Allergist's Wife'' to wing to L.A. pilot rehearsals.

These next two emails arrived the day I moved. I was hustling to get them posted before I packed up the computer so the movers could put it on the truck. Good thing I woke up early!

Fanfrage auf roberturich.com in der "Ask Robert"-Rubrik

Question: Janice - I just had the awesome pleasure of watching the filming of the pilot for Late Boomers. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would be very surprised if it is not picked up. The experience brought forth several questions: 
1. When was Scott Bakula brought it? I heard it was just the Wednesday before the shoot.
2. Was his role extensively rewritten for him after Burt Reynold's departure? There were a couple of scenes that appeared to have been written with Scott in mind.
Answer: Thank you so much for your comments on the pilot "Late Boomers". The first time I read the script I felt the same way. I laughed out loud. Scott was brought in On Friday, April 27th and as you know, we filmed it in front of a studio audience on Sunday, April 29th. The role wasn't re-written for him and I think he did an amazing job in just two and a half days
thanks to Janice!

Well, every now and then, having a website is a good thing. :-) You get to do good things for people. The following reports are sort of a byproduct. I met Sue via email, when she wrote to thank me for posting about Love Letters. It was her first time meeting Scott and she had only learned about the play five days earlier, when she found my site. (That was kind of exciting! Aside from the fact, that it was the first time I'd met him as well. <g>) I met Janice at the Hamilton Benefit in February. She was sitting in front of me. She told me she was a fan of Robert Urich, David Soul, Scott (and two other actors, one of which might be Harrison Ford). When I found out from Audiences Unlimited that Robert Urich was going to be in the pilot as well as Scott, I emailed her to let her know.
So now I get to share their stories with the rest of you. :-)

Scott Talks Boomers

Scott cleared up a lingering mystery about Later Boomers, a pilot episode which he shot just before joining Enterprise. "I played a guest star — it was called Late Boomers, and it became Boomers, and I don't know where it lies now. But we were in negotiations on this [Enterprise] for a while, and I wasn't sure whether this was going to happen or not for a while. And they agreed to have me on that series. It was the actual lead in the pilot, but as a guest — strictly as a guest star. So do it and walk away. And it worked out happily that this came through and we were able to make a deal, and I'm here."

 

Taping Report:

Report from Sue in Tucson (Dr. Sues)

Hi All! My husband and I just got back from California tonight! (Wed. eve.) While there, we went to the taping of "Late Boomers"! Janice's report was right on the money! The show was funny and well written! I really hope the network runs with this one, and that Scott chooses to stay with this! What a great
cast! They all had such a good repore with each other! Also, Chelsea was there (3 seats in front of me!)and Scott's oldest daughter, and, of course, Jay was there too! As for the show, I would only change one thing! Scott's mustache has got to go!!!!!! It was too dark....too big...and it does nothing to
enhance his wonderful good looks! I love that man's face and it is a sin to cover it up!!! 

Ha! Ha! Ha! And yes....you will all love the "saunna scene"! At the MOST, he was wearing a g-string!!

thanks to Sue!

Report from Janice Starbuck, a fan of both Scott and Robert Urich, comes this report...
Wed, 02-May-2001

What a great day! I just had to write to share my experience with you all. Friday morning I woke to find an email from Pam who runs the Scott info web site informing me that Audiences Unlimited was looking for audience members to attend the shooting of the pilot for a new series, Late Boomers, starring
Scott Bakula and Robert Urich. Seeing these two actors together made her think of me!
I immediately ordered my tickets from the tvtickets.com web site and made flight, hotel and car reservations for my husband, Tom, and myself. Friday afternoon I received email notification from
Audiences Unlimited that the shooting time had been moved up to 3:30.
Sunday was a beautiful day in LA. We arrived at CBS studios around 2:15.
The shooting went very smoothly. Most scenes were completed with two full takes and one "pick-up," where they performed only a small part of the scene.
Scott and Robert were wonderful. I really enjoyed their comedic delivery. I must say that the entire cast was excellent. Adam Arkin is extremely handsome and talented. Joe Regalbuto, who
played Frank on Murphy Brown was great as Scott's brother. Markie Post looked absolutely wonderful and did a great job as Scott's two-time ex-wife.
A few scenes had been filmed on Saturday that they played back to us on monitors. The sauna scene will be a special treat for Scott fans.

Scott plays Teddy, a retired NFL quarterback. The show is set in Chicago. Teddy is a party kind of guy and loves the ladies -- and the ladies love him. He looks great, although I must say I am not crazy about the mustache he sports for the character.
Robert plays Dennis, an old teammate of Teddy's who played the game a little too long and took few too many blows to the head during his NFL career. Dennis provides the majority of the comic
relief for the ensemble. Dennis is now a sportscaster and is very concerned about his looks and staying young.

Trying to be objective and looking past my obvious predisposition to love this show, I must say that I did enjoy it. Tom and I both thought that the writing was witty and the acting was superb. I do hope that if the show is picked up that the writers will develop each of the characters fully. I would hate to see the show fail because the characters are one-dimensional. I mean, I really hope there is more to Robert's
character than just being slow and vain.

The entire experience was a blast. It did take three and one-half hours to film the show, but it didn't seem to drag. The warm up guy was named Jim and he did a good job of keeping the audience entertained during the lulls.

From time to time during filming, I would catch myself watching the show on the overhead monitor rather than focusing on the action on the stage. I think it was just hard to believe that I was right
there, not more than 30 feet from these gorgeous men I adore.

Between shots most of the actors were out of view. However, Scott was usually visible, because he was in every scene. He was very focused and seemed to be working on his character constantly. I'm guessing that was because he was brought in after all the other actors and had very little opportunity to rehearse.

During curtain call I had a special thrill when Scott and Robert hugged to congratulate each other on a job well done. I really wish that I could have gotten a picture of that. But alas, taking pictures was strictly forbidden.

That was it. We didn't hang around to try to meet the actors because the audience had been told not to do that. Besides, what more could I have asked for. It was a great day.

thanks very much to Janice for the report!!--Pam

Das waren nochmal ein paar nützliche Informationen. Also sollte Late Boomers in Chicago spielen. Den Taping Report fand ich spannend zu lesen, meine aber mich zu erinnern, dass es auf der Seite noch einen zweiten, vom Text her längeren Report gab.

Laut Bakula haben die also den Titel der Sitcom nochmals umgeändert - von Late Boomers in "Boomers". Also war Late Boomers letzten Endes auch nur ein Arbeitstitel.
