Chicago – With stars that have found critical success before on television in shows like “The Sopranos” (Michael Imperioli), “Arrested Development” (Will Arnett), and “Felicity” (Keri Russell) there was reason to be excited around a year ago when it came to “Detroit 1-8-7” and “Running Wilde,” two shows with little in common other than the fact that their first seasons will be their only seasons and they were both recently released on DVD courtesy of Lionsgate.
Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0
What happens when a show doesn’t become a hit but you still have a commitment to release episodes on DVD? Lionsgate knows well that few people will be rushing out to buy the 13-episode, truncated season of “Running Wilde,” one of the biggest ratings failures of the 2010-11 season. But they need to release it anyway, and so here it is without a single special feature and without a Blu-ray edition. This...

"Last day shooting Running Wilde with Mitch Hurwitz directing," he said. "Thanks to all who watched. Bittersweetness, I am firmly in your grasp." Arnett later added that the future of the show has not yet been decided, saying: "To clarify, Running (more)...

Fox's "Running Wilde," is a sitcom that you want to like more than you actually do, unfortunately. It boasts two outstanding leads, in Will Arnett and Keri Russell, and comes from "Arrested Development," creator Mitch Hurwitz, who sadly is proving -- after this and last year's "Sit Down, Shut Up," -- to be something of a one-hit wonder. And "Arrested Development" wasn't even a hit. But it was beloved like no other sitcom of this century, and so most of us are eager to give "Running Wilde," a chance to prove itself. After last night's flat pilot episode, it's got a lot to prove.
There's not much point in going through the series' production troubles -- the pilot was largely re-shot over the summer, and while some may have preferred the original version, last night's episode is what we have to contend with, as it is more likely to set...

It's hard to imagine that talents such as Mitch Hurwitz and Will Arnett could get together and make something as unfunny as 'Running Wilde.' But it's even more unbelievable to think that, even though half the cast was changed from the original pilot and 80% of the scenes were re-shot, the version of the pilot that ran last night (the show airs Tuesdays at 9:30Et on Fox) ended up being even worse than what critics saw in the spring.
It's hard to put my finger on what's wrong. Yes, the show evokes memories of Hurwitz's 'Arrested Development,' with some of the same asides, throwaway jokes, and absurdist elements 'Ad' had. They don't fly as fast and furious, mainly because 'Wilde' is more about the relationship between Steven Wilde (Arnett) and Emmy Kadubic (Keri Russell) and not a big messy family like in 'Ad.

"Running Wilde" is the second half of a pair of new comedies on Fox, starring Will Arnett and Keri Russell in what Fox advertises as "when ego meets eco." While the revamped version of the pilot is funnier than the first go-round, it's still not where the show should be. However, there is so much potential that viewers should give it a chance.
Arnett is Steven Wilde, a rich manchild whose only friends are his rich, eccentric neighbor Fa'ad Shaoulian (Peter Serafinowicz), his driver Migo (Mel Rodriguez) and his nanny/secretary/keeper Mr. Lunt (Robert Michael Morris). Emmy Kadubic (Russell) is his childhood crush who works with a tribe in the Amazon, much to the consternation of her daughter Puddle (Stefania Owen). Wilde and Puddle, with some help from Fa'ad, conspire to keep Emmy and Puddle living with Wilde, in the hopes of making him a better man.

Chicago – I love Will Arnett, Keri Russell, David Cross, and Mitchell Hurwitz. And yet, I don’t love “Running Wilde.” If you need any proof that quality television takes something more intangible than just getting talented people together, look no further than this sporadically-entertaining Fox sitcom, a show with more-than-enough talent to get over the common growing pains of the first few episodes of a sitcom if the ratings are strong enough to give it time to do so but is undeniably disappointing at the start.
Television Rating: 2.5/5.0
The broad moments of the last show on which Mitchell Hurwitz and Will Arnett collaborated — the undeniably-brilliant “Arrested Development — were balanced out by the heart and humanity of the performances by Jason Bateman and Michael Cera. And yet, “Running Wilde” lacks that same heart despite the best efforts of Keri Russell to provide a similar emotional backbone to counterbalance Arnett’s cynical style.

The new Fox series Running Wilde, featuring Arrested Development alumni Will Arnett, is premiering tonight (September 21). Co-starring Kerri Russell, the question is whether this new series can capitalize on Arnett’s funnyman persona and past hilarity enough to make it a good sitcom. So far, there seems to be a swell of negative criticism for Running Wilde, yet with most critics singling out Will Arnett as the bright spot – so there is hope. Running Wilde is the second half of a newcomer dominated block, with fellow 30-minute comedy Raising Hope acting as lead-in, with Glee setting the stage for both.
Will Arnett’s former Arrested co-star, David Cross, is also set to make a guest appearance on the premiere episode tonight.
We have a few videos for you below, including sneak peeks from the pilot episode, a promo and an interview of Will Arnett interviewing…Will Arnett.

Tonight Fox debuts Running Wilde, one of the most anticipated new comedies of the fall season. Running Wilde is the brainchild of: Will Arnett, Mitch Hurowitz and Jim Vallely, all of Arrested Development fame. A comedy with that pedigree seems like a sure fire hit, right? Unfortunately, Running Wilde leaves a lot to be desired. So what went wrong?
As much as it pains me to say this (because I've always liked the guy and keep in mind I have only seen the pilot), Will Arnett may not be a leading man. A little Arnett goes a long way, and so far it has worked out wonderfully for him. He seems to be an in demand guest star for any buzzed about comedy that is looking for some cred. Running Wilde is Arnett's first attempt at leading man status (in a TV show), and so far the results are mixed.

If you’re a fan of Will Arnett’s crazy antics as magician George Bluth on Arrested Development, his new show is going to be your cup of tea!
Hey there, BFFs! I caught a sneak preview of Fox’s new TV show, Running Wilde, and I was totally left wanting more — it’s hilarious!
So what’s Running Wilde all about? It’s basically Romeo & Juliet with a twist: Will Arnett stars as spoiled trust fund baby Steven Wilde, who hits middle age and realizes that the one thing missing from his over-indulgent playboy lifestyle is love. Upon his shocking discovery that money can’t buy happiness, Steven enlists the help of his eccentric sidekicks to point him in the right direction. Eccentric? Hm….smells like Arrested Development part two to us!
Cue Keri Russell as Emmy Kadubic, Wilde’s childhood sweetheart, who now, as an environmentally conscious eco-activist,...

Rarely have I seen a show that seemed to have so much potential on paper, while at the same time managing to convince me that so little of that potential will ultimately be realized. The outline of Running Wilde may not exactly jump out at me – the wacky love-interest angle between the rich, spoiled son of an oil tycoon, and the (let’s face it) laughably liberal girl who got away when the two were kids – but the people involved in the show offer up bags of potential television goodness, and moreover bring to mind just the sort of potential that is ripe for the market right now.
Will Arnett is a fairly safe bet at the moment, as more and more people come into the Arrested Development fold. It’s a rare testament to everything about Ad that the number of fans never seems to stop growing. Thus, when...

Fox's fall sitcom "Running Wilde" naturally draws comparisons to "Arrested Development," but not because they're anything alike.
The sitcom stars Will Arnett and springs from the comic minds of Arnett, "Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz and writer Jim Vallely, but don't expect something quite as subversive or full of unlikable characters.
Steven Wilde (Arnett) is a spoiled playboy who has it all ... except the love of his childhood sweetheart Emmy Kadubic (Keri Russell), who's as liberal, eco-friendly and humanitarian as they come. Not exactly a match. Regardless, his efforts are recounted through the eyes of a the 12-year-old girl Puddle (Stefania Owen). The series also co-stars Peter Serafinowicz and David Cross.
"It's different, there's a burden association with 'Arrested Development' that's a high class problem to have," Hurwitz tells the TCA Monday (Aug. 2), although he allays some fears, adding, "We're glad to be working and doing something that...
