Season 1 of Raising Hope may not have been a ratings darling, but executive producer Greg Garcia knows they have something special. And Emmy voters do, too. Last week, the show picked up two nominations — one for Best Actress in a Comedy for Martha Plimpton and another for Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Cloris Leachman, who will be billed as a series regular in season 2. (Garcia jokes of the latter nomination, a result of Leachman’s week-by-week agreement to be on the show, “I congratulated her and said, ‘We loved you so much as a guest actress, we brought you back 19 times.’”)
As production on season 2 approaches, Garcia is looking at these noms as signs of good things to come. “It’s great to get any kind of recognition for our show, and certainly those two women deserve to be among the nominees,” he says.
But what exactly is to come on the little gem of a show? EW called Garcia for answers…

Love this show and can't wait for season two to start!
ReplyDeleteI hope we get more episodes with a lucid Maw Maw. The crazy version isn't as funny as the writers seem to think and they write better stuff for Cloris Leachman's character when she's sane.
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward for S2.
ReplyDelete(And honestly the Cloris Leachman "special guest" thing confused me from the get go!)
This was my favorite comedy and favorite new show last year. I'm glad to see the Emmy recognition and am excited to hear they are doing flashbacks again this year. I love flash back episodes. Just no Drakkar Noir anymore please. :-)
ReplyDeleteI second the Drakkar Noir ban. Burt being scared of him was the only funny thing about that.
ReplyDeleteBut I loved Drakkar Noir!
ReplyDeleteDrakkar Noir was funny to me. lol
ReplyDeleteFor me, Raising Hope was the best comedy in the last season with better episodes than other giants of the comedy like Modern family, HIMYM or TBBT...
