Big Day Summary
Genres: Comedy
Based on the BBC comedy series The Worst Week of My Life, Big Day was described by parent network ABC as "24 Meets Father of the Bride." The entire series took place on a single day, upon which occurred the wedding of Danny (Josh_Cooke) and Alice (Marla_Sokoloff). Each half-hour episode depicted the many crises and calamities surrounding such prenuptial rituals as securing the venue, choosing the right wedding gown, stage-managing the reception, and so on. Aiding, abetting, and sometimes impeding the bride and groom were Alice's mom, Jane (Wendie_Malick), and dad, Steve (Kurt_Fuller), and such assorted friends and relatives as Becca (Miriam_Shor), Skobo (Stephen_Rannazzisi), and Lorna (Stephnie_Weir). Whereas the original British version stretched out the wedding over a period of nine episodes, the American Big Day was storyboarded for 22 separate installments -- a formidable creative task indeed for executive producers Josh_Goldsmith and Cathy_Yuspa, whose previous screenwriting credits included What_Women_Want and 13 Going on 30. Intended to debut in January 2007 as a mid-season replacement, Big Day was moved forward to a premiere date of November 28, 2006. Hal Erickson, Rovi
