Big Shot (Disney +) -- S: John Stamos -- From creator David E. Kelley -- Premieres 4/16/21



BIG SHOT (SERIES PREMIERE) - FRIDAY, APRIL 16

After getting ousted from the NCAA, a hothead men's basketball coach must take a job at an all-girls high school. He soon learns that teenage girls are more than just X's and O's; they require empathy and vulnerability - foreign concepts for the stoic Coach Korn (John Stamos). By learning how to connect with his players, Marvyn starts to grow into the person he's always hoped to be. The girls learn to take themselves more seriously, finding their footing both on and off the court.

Series regulars include John Stamos, Jessalyn Gilsig, Richard Robichaux, Sophia Mitri Schloss, Nell Verlaque, Tiana Le, Monique Green, Tisha Eve Custodio, Cricket Wampler and Yvette Nicole Brown. Created and Executive Produced by David E. Kelley, Dean Lorey and Brad Garrett; Bill D'Elia also serves as Executive Producer. The series is a Disney+ Original produced by ABC Signature.

This is a low quality trailer from the Disney presentation in December. A new one hasn't been released yet. The premiere date was just announced today.

So it's basically Mighty Ducks but with basketball?

I was kind of thinking the same thing about the Mighty Ducks comparison. Eh it could be alright. I like Stamos enough to maybe give it a try.

I thought DEK and Jesslyn had a falling out around Boston Public? IIRC, she was pushed aside for Jerri Ryan and left the show shortly after. She was the female lead for Season 1, IMO.

Speaking of which, someone needs to stream Boston Public

Just finished the Pilot and it was surprisingly pretty good. They actually focused on developing the characters and not just the typical sports cliches.

Cool! I love Stamos so I'm looking forward to this one.

Is it a weekly release?

I loved the first ep. I always thought John Stamos was great. Sure, we’ve seen plot, but Stamos and rest make it enjoyable.

It was pretty good. Saturday is now our middle school hockey/high school basketball show night.

I will most certainly look forward. Stamos plays him great and the group of girls are not annoying. Think the coach/asst. coach relationship or path it seems is a little too unoriginal for my taste, but aside, it’s a very fun show thus far.

Started watching with my kids. This is a great family show. Like the concept. Stamos is good as a smarmy Calipari type.

Wrapped this up today. Not terrible but a huge step down in quality from the Mighty Ducks show.

I liked it better than the Mighty Ducks show, more oriented for older teens.

The kids in the show are older but it is far cheesier, and the plotlines are pretty dumb.

Usually shows geared toward tweens/teens have dumb plots.

I’m loving the show. I think it’s very well done. Fun, heart. I like Stamos a lot, always have and he’s great in this role. I just wish he didn’t do that crunchy face with his damn lips so much. You watch, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Or at least will now. But, solid show. Has it yet been renewed?

Could be, but I don’t know. Could’ve incorporated into facial attributes of character bc I’ve never noticed on any other show, especially er
