The band finally lands their first regular paying gig, and Rita is determined to perform, despite being 9 months pregnant.
One extraordinary multi-tasking woman takes on marriage, motherhood and music in this Lifetime comedy project about managing a newly formed rock band. Rita Rocks is produced by Media Rights Capital. The series will be returning for a 20-episode second season after airing 20 first season… More originals to decent ratings.
Amazon has just put up a pre-order for "Rita Rocks - The Complete Season 1". The release date is April 27th, 2010 and the list price is $18.99. The description says that it is a 3-disc box set that will include bonus features. I sent an email over to TV Shows on DVD to see if they could confirm… More it. They said that it is in fact coming out, but since it really isn't in demand, they have yet to post the listing. In any case, it's good news that we will get to own Season 1! Here's the link to the Amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/Rita-Rocks-Complete-Season-DVD/dp/B00366BBSA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1265920743&sr=8-1
I know some of you could care less that Rita was recently canceled. For those of you who do care, let's do something about it! Lifetime is not a major network and I believe it will be easier convincing them to renew the show then it would if it was on, for example, ABC or Fox. A simple… More way to tell Lifetime that you don't want them to cancel Rita is to go to their official site, mylifetime.com At the bottom (where it's black of the main page there will be a list of options for you, the first two options are "Feedback" and "Contact Us", they will ask you a few questions as to why you want to contact them. After you fill them out, you will need to find the link to submit your own question. Label the subject box Rita Rocks and tell them why you don't want them to cancel the show. You can use either the "Feedback" or "Contact Us" page to submit your letter. This may seem pointless to some to go through this and not worth your time but it is! We are letting Lifetime know that we care about the show and want it to stay on the air. I for one will tell them that the mistreatment of the show's schedule is one of the reasons why ratings may have not been as high as last season. Keep Rita Rocking!
I know that this Rita Rocks forum doesn't get much attention, but for those of you who want to anything pertaining to Season 2, please use this thread to do so. Enjoy!

Awesome show love the banter and craic on this show. Personal Fav would not miss it. hide show
Well been watching this show a lot like the story lines and the mail woman is hilarious, basically love the show not a lot to say about this except that I hope it continues for long time to come as it is a good show with good people in, not enough good shows on tv to make me laugh but this one ticks all the boxes for our family, its the one show we can all sit down and watch and enjoy. Its just a pity its only on once a week as waiting for it to come back round is a pain
This show's great to watch with your mother or grandmother...or gay friend lol. Nicole Sullivan knocks it out of the park with her performance as Rita Clemens. And Richard Ruccolo is HILARIOUS as Jay. Tisha Campbell is one of my favorite characters because she plays her part so good! Raviv Ullman[hottie], Natalie Dreyfuss and Kelly Gould are all equally great too! Awesome cast, awesome chemistry and awesome music! I like the fact that the idea is original. I mean who else would've thought of a Rock n Roll mom?? haha. Great show and very enjoyable! Keep up the good work!
A real cute show... and from the Lifetime channel! hide show
I was skeptical when I noticed it was a Lifetime original series. But then I noticed it had Richard Ruccolo, from the gone but not forgotten TV show Two Guys and a Girl and Raviv Ullman, who I've loved since Phil of the Future. So I watched the pilot on youtube and was hooked. It's a cute show about a mom who wants something new and starts a garage band with her mailwoman, the neighborhood bum, and her teenage daughter's boyfriend. The show works because of its amazing cast, Nicole Sheridan playing the different mom perfectly, every person fitting their cahracter to a degree that'll make you want to watch more. It's not the most original TV show ever, see 8 Simple Rulkes pr Reba, but it's cute enough to make you watch it more than once.
Nicole Sullivan finally gets another series playing another revolutionary mom wom with her own parenting style. hide show
I really like Rita Rocks. Nicole Sullivan was one of the so-few really big talents to come out of MadTV, and to see her float from series to series was disturbing. I this series, she gets the lead character as a mom, and basically playing herself, she just shines and really gets to reveal her comedic timing and potential with playing another crazy character. Other gold mines to this series is Tichina Arnold who is beautiful and funny, Ian Gomez who never got enough screen time around Drew Carey and Raviv Ullman from "cancelled way too fast" Phil of the Future. Nicole is trully surrounded by a stellar cast, and this series has the markings of a hit, but whether people will watch it on Lifetime when it could do so much better on ABC remains to be seen.
