Afgelopen zaterdag avond werdt de eerste aflevering van Iedereen is gek op Jack uitgezonden op RTL 4. De Nederlandse vertolking van de succesvolle Amerikaanse sitcom Everybody loves Raymond moet, als het aan producent Linda de Mol ligt, de nieuwe zaterdagavond hit worden op RTL 4. Waarom er dan voor wordt gekozen om het origineel gewoon 1 op 1 te kopiëren is mij echter een raadsel. De hele eerste aflevering van de serie is namelijk letter voor letter vertaald van ‘Marie’s Meatball’s', waarin Raymond de gehaktballen van zijn moeder lekkerder vindt dan de maaltijd van zijn vrouw.

Maar waarom is er besloten op deze manier de serie te kopiëren? Linda de Mol is de zus van één van de creatiefste geesten die de Nederlandse TV industrie kent. De man die ons en de rest van de wereld Big Brother bracht en recentelijk een nieuwe megahit scoorde met het originele concept van The Voice of Holland, dat inmiddels aan tig landen is verkocht. Waarom oh waarom komt Linda de Mol dan met een slap aftreksel, een schaamteloze kopie, van een Amerikaanse hit serie? Je zou verwachten dat ze de kneepjes van het vak wel kent, zeker met hits als Gooische Vrouwen op haar CV.

Helaas is Gek op Jack alleen grappig voor het groepje kijkers dat Everybody loves Raymond nooit gezien heeft. De humor is flauw vergeleken met het origneel, het acteerwerk is slecht en de cameravoering is al helemaal een geval apart. Waar het origineel groot is geworden met simpele vaste shots moet alles in de Nederlandse versie blijkbaar bewegen, draaien en het liefst allemaal met de hand, want statieven en dolly’s zijn zo 2010.

In het verleden zijn er natuurlijk wel vaker buitenlandse series naar Nederland gehaald, vertaald en uitgezonden. Sam Sam is bijvoorbeeld gebasseerd op Man About The House. Ook het succesvolle improvisatie programma De Lama’s is op zijn beurt gebaseerd op het Amerikaanse Who’s Line is it Anyway?. Waarom zijn die producties wel goed ontvangen en wordt Iedereen is gek op Jack op Twitter volledig met de grond gelijk gemaakt? Heel simpel. Sam Sam heet geen ‘Man van het Huis’. De Lama’s heet niet ‘Wiens tekst is het eigenlijk?’. Die programma’s hebben allemaal hun eigen draai gegeven aan de uitstraling en scripts van de serie.

De grootste fout is echter dat het leeuwendeel van de ‘acteurs’ in Nederland totaal niet kan acteren, laat staan comedy kan acteren. Linda de Mol is een geboren presentator, laat haar lekker in de camera kijken en de volgende kandidaat aankondigen. Ze is totaal niet op haar plaats in een TV serie, ook niet in Gooische vrouwen want haar acteer prestaties zijn daar al net zo waardeloos. Jeroen van Koningsbrugge is meer een man van typetjes en korte sketches. In series als Neon Letters kan ik enorm om hem lachen, maar in dit soort programma’s is het zo overduidelijk dat hij een script opleest dat het meteen niet meer grappig is.

Het is een gemiste kans, want ik kan enorm genieten van de humor in Everybody Loves Raymond. Maar een serie vertalen in het Nederlands is meer dan een script opvragen, door Google Translate heen halen en uitzenden. Als de serie meer dan dertien afleveringen krijgt hoop ik dat ze iets met al die kritiek doen, maar stiekem hoop ik dat de kijkcijfers tegen die tijd al ver onder de 100.000 liggen.

Happy Birthday, Kimberly Caldwell!

Posted: 26 Feb 2011 08:52 AM PST

Season 2 finalist Kimberly Caldwell celebrates her birthday today. This year is already shaping up to be a busy one for the singer/actress/host.

On December 17, 2010, Kimberly released her single, “Desperate Girls and Stupid Boys.” Earlier this month, Kimberly made her first appearance on the Billboard charts with the single. She entered at #50 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. To promote her single and upcoming album, Kimberly released a music video and she appeared on Good Day New York and the Rachel Ray Show.

Kimberly will release her album, Without Regrets, this April 19. We caught up with her on the “blue carpet” at last night’s Top 24 Idol party and she said that she feels blessed for all of the hosting opportunities that came her way after Idol, but music has always been her number one passion that she’s invested herself in since she was a little girl.

Happy Birthday, Kimberly!

Exclusive Interview with Anthony Fedorov

Posted: 23 Feb 2011 04:49 PM PST

Season 4′s fourth place finalist, Anthony Fedorov, recently announced that he signed with Airgo Music and is working on his EP. The record’s release will coincide with Anthony’s trip to Japan to take part in their production of Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. When we hopped on the phone with Anthony to find out more about his EP and Joseph show, he revealed the impact his brother has had on his music and how playing Joseph has been liberating.

Anthony’s been very busy performing in musicals and at benefits in his six years since appearing on American Idol, and now he is looking forward to releasing his record. “I’m really grateful and excited for my fans. They’ve been so gracious and stayed with me over the long six year wait, and I finally came across this great opportunity. I’ve known Airgo’s Jimmy Greco for about four years. We always talked about working together and once my other commitment ran out, I came to Jimmy.”

The EP, called Never Over, is close to Anthony’s heart. “Never Over is the name of the EP, which is named after the song I wrote for my brother when he was still alive. He passed away from Ewing’s sarcoma. I wrote it for him so he would keep on fighting and he would listen to the song often during his battle. I wanted to name the EP in his honor.” In fact, the image on the <a … read more
