ABC FAMILY’S HIT COMEDY “10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU” RETURNS ON MONDAY, MARCH 29 AT 8:00PM ET/PT

Burbank, CA (January 12, 2010) – ABC Family’s original comedy series “10 Things I Hate About You” will return with ten all-new half-hour episodes beginning Monday, March 29 (8:00PM-8:30PM ET/PT). The critically acclaimed series, recently named by New York Times as one of the “Top 10 Television Shows of 2009,” bowed this summer as the network’s highest rated comedy in its history. The series is executive-produced by Carter Covington and Robin Schiff, and stars Larry Miller, Lindsey Shaw, Meaghan Martin, Ethan Peck, Nicholas Braun and Dana Davis.

 

The half-hour series centers on the Stratford sisters, Kat (Shaw) and Bianca (Martin), as they both approach high school with very contradictory goals. Kat is a strong-willed, in-your-face feminist who is looking to save the world and get out of high school as fast as she can. Bianca is a social butterfly whose only concern is that she be popular, at any cost. As they both attend Padua High, the girls try to find what they want while navigating the popular crowd, boys and their over-protective Dad (Miller).

So there’s a plane bearing towards Wisteria Lane and now we know who the pilot who crashes it is.

The Simpsons star Dan Castellaneta, (the voice of Homer Simpson), will be taking on the role of the pilot that crashes a small plane in Fairview during the midseason finale of Desperate Housewives on December 6.

Castellaneta has recently guest starred on Greek as Rusty and Dale’s professor in the ABC Family show.

Given the recent going ons at Cyprus-Rhodes, who wouldn’t want to know when the second half of Greek’s third season is going to air?

The show will begin airing original episodes from January 25, 2010! In an unprecedented move, it will also air at 10pm. In a network first, ABC family will have 3 hours of original programming on a Monday night, with The Secret Life of an American Teenager at 8, Make it or Break It at 9 and Greek at 10!

But first of all don’t forget, we still have the midseason finale to look forward to this Monday! And given the dramz that went down last Monday, it’s defo a don’t miss!

Sam Page (Mad Men, Shark) is joining ABC Family’s Greek according to EW’s Michael Ausiello.

In what’s said to be a major recurring role, Page will play Joel, a smart and accessible local campaign manager for a congresswoman. He is also said to have a past connection to Rebecca, as he used to work with her father, Ex-Senator Logan.

He will make his debut during next season.
