Just days after the terrible tragedy of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, the country, and even the world at large, faces an undeniable need to re-examine the role of gun control on the world stage. As with numerous tragedies in the past, much of the focus shifts to violence in media as depicted across film and television, which today faces one of its first casualties. Discovery has opted to pull the plug on its pro-firearm reality series 'American Guns.' But what will the reaction to the news bring?
In addition to a number of television episodes from the likes of 'Haven' and 'Family Guy,' we weren't surprised to see that Discovery opted not to renew its firearm family series 'American Guns,' given the aftermath and national discourse raging from the terrible Sandy Hook Elementary massacre. Now, it seems another of Discovery's 2nd amendment series - Ted Nugent's 'Gun Country' - has been pulled from the network, but is it a reaction to last week's tragedy?
Many classic but cancelled series hold the distinction of featuring a number of A-list stars before making their big breaks, but few hold such a distinguished roster as Judd Apatow's cancelled 2000 NBC series 'Freaks and Geeks.' The retro series featured the likes of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, Lizzy Caplan, Busy Philipps, Martin Starr and even Thomas Wilson (Biff of 'Back to the Future'), despite only running 18 episodes. Twelve years later, are you ready to see the entire cast reunite?
Up until The Disney Channel produces the very first frame of footage from its forthcoming 'Boy Meets World' sequel series / spin-off 'Girl Meets World,' many fans will keep to their skepticism that the new effort can recapture the magic of the old. We've even heard a few past cast members assuring audiences of their reference for 'Boy Meets World,' amid insistence the show will be its own entity, but what does Cory Matthews himself think? Ben Savage himself recently opened up with some new thoughts about 'Girl Meets World...
The sitcom is, and always shall be, an ever-changing art. There exists no perfect formula for success between various three-camera and single-camera efforts over the years. While some may bemoan the heightened situations and laugh tracks of a three-camera outing like the modern 'Big Bang Theory,' others remember how 'Cheers' and 'Seinfeld' among others perfected the format. So according to a recent '60 Minutes' poll, what's the greatest sitcom of all time? Is it as funny as a bag of airline peanuts?
Cory and Topanga are back! 'Boy Meets World' fans were stunned earlier this month to learn that The Disney Channel had begun development of a sequel series to be titled 'Girl Meets World,' and now the original stars have taken it one step closer to reality. Centering on Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence's young daughter Riley, the series has officially picked up original stars Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel to reprise their roles, but how far along is production? Will we be tuning in for 'Girl Meets World' any time soon?
Late last week, we were stunned to learn that ABC was in the process of developing a spin-off of beloved ABC sitcom 'Boy Meets World,' a sequel series focusing on Cory and Topanga's young daughter to be called 'Girl Meets World.' Speculation has run rampant on which cast member might return, even apart from the potential involvement of series stars Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel, but now concrete new details have emerged on the series itself. Find out what Cory Matthews has been up to in the comments!
You know, it's been a long and strange week. While we've tried to wrap our heads around the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, and even the $4.05 billion sale of 'Star Wars' to Disney with plans for a seventh installment, about the last thing we can wrap our heads around is a sequel series to a beloved '90s sitcom. And yet here we are, grasping the notion of a 'Boy Meets World' sequel series, titled cleverly enough, 'Girl Meets World.' So as long as the world's gone crazy, who from the cast might return?
While 'South Park's unfortunate fall air dates mean that the long-running Comedy Central series arrives too late to effectively parody 'The Avengers,' at the very least upcoming episode "A Nightmare on Facetime" will pay the Marvel blockbuster homage. The boys look to dress as the iconic superhero tam for Halloween, only to find that Stan can't join them as Captain America, and instead has to send an iPad! So what Halloween hijinks does the latest clip from Wednesday's "A Nightmare On Facetime" scare up?
Finally! We confess that most of us weren't affected in the slightest by DISH's decision to drop AMC over its billion dollar lawsuit, though we were certainly tired of hearing every single AMC promo in existence punctuated by "Not Available On DISH." Seriously, we've had jilted relationships that didn't complain that much. But for now it seems that AMC and DISH's beef has been settled, meaning DISH subscribers can finally get their 'Walking Dead' on. But at what cost?
Great Scott! 1.21 jigowatts! Additional exclamations! We may not keep up with FOX's thriving family comedy 'Raising Hope' all that often, but when 'Back to the Future' gets thrown into the mix, you can bet we're gonna see some serious sh*t. Not only that, but it seems Doc Brown himself Christopher Lloyd will guest star on the episode to get in on the fun! But where (or when) could 'Raising Hope' go with a 'Back to the Future' episode, and who could Lloyd play if not himself?
For a 'Sons of Anarchy' season so metal that it cast actual Hells' Angels and brutally killed off a number of characters only five episodes into its run, we were hard pressed to think of ways season 5 of FX's Kurt Sutter biker drama could get more awesome. Enter legendary rocker Dave Navarro to play an important role in the final two episodes of the season! But who will the rock superstar play, and how will Jane's Addiction be involved?
