There are programs in the history of television that leave you asking, “How the hell did that air for so long?” That’s not a question you can ask of “Baywatch.” Despite the show’s lack of Emmys, everyone knew why the show was successful. Thanks to all those beach bodies, the careers of several actors and actresses were cemented in pop culture; including Oscar nominee Pamela Anderson, and one of Germany’s favorite singers, David Hasselhoff. “Baywatch” remains one of those properties that still has a legacy attached to it, and next year, Fox is seeking to tap into that as it…

Decades ago, individual broadcast stations for the major networks, NBC, CBS, and ABC used to be owned by individual groups. A lot of that changed over time as the business of television grew and larger media companies started buying multiple stations. Two of these larger entities are Nexstar and Sinclair. Between the two companies, they own over 20% of the ABC affiliate stations. Depending on where those stations are located, they can be broadcasting to millions of people in their respective areas. Last week, Disney pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from the air indefinitely. This was due to comments host Jimmy…

It’s a little hard to fathom it, but it’s been over three years since we last had some new episodes of “Stranger Things.” It seems like just yesterday that Kate Bush’s “Running up That Hill (Deal with God) was shooting up the charts, Vecna was tearing people apart, and the fate of certain characters was left ambiguously vague. That will all start to come to a close this November when the fifth season of “Stranger Things” begins. To help you gear up for that, General Mills is bringing some snacks to the table with a new look to celebrate the…

Thrilling heists and robberies are no stranger to the world of entertainment. If they were, we wouldn’t have the “Ocean’s Eleven” film, remake, and eventual franchise. They make for gripping narratives and often a desire to root for the antihero or villain. At least, we can do that in the realm of fiction, in real life these things rarely happen. In the case of the Disney Springs Paddlefish restaurant, fiction became a bit too true to life, and they’re not rooting for the villain this time around either. The Paddlefish is a unique restaurant in that it’s designed to be…

Horror franchises have come and gone over the decades. The longer they live on, the less reliable they tend to be at the box office. Don’t tell that to “The Conjuring” franchise though. Eleven years after its first film and its most recent entry, “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” has picked up its biggest box office opening for the franchise as a whole. Warner Bros.is hoping for continued success with its upcoming HBO Max series of the same name, that now has its showrunner and writers set to go. Even though Warner Bros. has been tight lipped about the plot details,…

Oh, Fyre Fest. Despite the fact that it never turned out happening it has been the gift that has kept on giving. Normally, we don’t take pleasure in the pain of others, but a bit of schadenfreude is acceptable when we’re talking about convicted felon Billy McFarland, the mind behind Fyre Fest. He swore it would actually happen the second time around, and shockingly, it didn’t. But it will all be worth, because Taika Waititi is currently working on “Fyre Fest: The Musical.” The original Fyre Fest was a joke unto itself. People traveled to an island for the promise…

In June of 2025, a lawsuit with the potential to generate a lot of waves in the world of artificial intelligence was filed against Midjourney. One of the largest platforms for AI generated content, Disney and Universal Pictures filed against the company for copyright infringement. As if those two names weren’t a big enough legal threat, they’ve been joined by Warner Bros. Pictures in the suit. Disney and Universal allege Midjourney is illegally utilizing their intellectual property to help users generate images. Warner Bros. has echoed that sentiment in their own statement. “Midjourney is blatantly and purposefully infringing copyrighted works,…

You may not even realize it, but one of the longest running shows in television history is the home repair program “This Old House.” It started airing in 1979 and was originally hosted by Bob Vila with assistance from master carpenter, Norm Abram. The program’s success spawned off a number of interconnected shows including Abram’s own “New Yankee Workshop” and “Ask This old House.” Now, a new program will be joining the family aimed at first time home buyers, “This First House.” Roku purchased the “This Old House” brand back in 2021, and will be airing the spinoff though their…

As you learn more about the history of fairy tales, you begin to learn that they are often times, horror stories of an intensely absurd caliber. That’s not a bad thing really. Often times people enjoy being scared to a degree. Many kids love scary stories, and in the time when many of these traditional stories were conceived, life itself was pretty horrifying. But these tales of transformed over time to become a bit milder. Who better to take them back to their roots than Stephen King, with a little help from beyond the grave by Maurice Sendak. Stephen King…

When it comes to experimental alternative rock, there are very few bands that have the critical and commercial clout as Radiohead. The English rockers have routinely pushed the boundaries of modern rock since the release of their debut album, “Pablo Honey” in 1993. Frontman Thom Yorke and his bandmates haven’t been extremely active lately, but that’s set to change later this year. Not to be outdone by Oasis reuniting, Radiohead will hit the road again to tour the UK and Europe. Radiohead hasn’t toured in 7 years. A few of those years can be easily chalked up to the COVID-19…
