As far as post-apocalyptic dystopian narratives go, Jeff Lemire’s comic series Sweet Tooth might be the most depressing yet optimistic of them all. The prospect of nature hitting back at humanity’s egocentric advances and reclaiming its rightful place by exterminating humankind and creating human-animal hybrids is justified and optimistic, to say the least. But at the same time, the subjugation and oppression enacted on the hybrids by humanity once again work as a reminder of real-world treatment and exploitation of the animals and marginalized sections of society. Analyzing such heavy themes with serious philosophical undertones—that too in the mold of a coming-of-age storyline—is what made Sweet Tooth really unique, and that stands true for Netflix’s TV series adaptation of the comic series as well.
After two successful, captivating seasons filled with equal parts mystery, wonder, and thrilling adventures, Netflix’s Sweet Tooth will finally end...

“All stories end. Ours ends here.”
Those are the Narrator’s (James Brolin) words as Sweet Tooth’s third and final season kicks off.
The opening minutes of the Season 3 premiere venture all over the globe and jump through time, from Thacker (Joel Tobeck) being confronted on his voyage a century ago to present day, where Gus (Christian Convery), Wendy (Naledi Murray), and Bear (Stefania Lavie Owen) are determined to cross the Rocky Mountains and make it to Alaska. You can watch the first seven minutes of the Season 3 opener of the post-apocalyptic drama series above.
Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) warns the hybrid kids about the many dangers they’ll face — like hostile humans and a harsh winter — but Gus confidently reassures the group that they’re going to find Birdie (Amy Seimetz) and “save the world together.” And you know what? That’s enough to garner Big Man’s support...

Julianne, a former DWTS pro dancer and judge, is now the show’s co-host alongside Alfonso Ribeiro.
While she may need to remain neutral once the competition begins, she said there’s one individual she’s “rooting for” to appear in an upcoming DWTS cast.

The popular game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is set to return after a several-year hiatus.
However, when it returns, the show will have a new twist, and it already appears fans aren’t happy with the concept.
The show last appeared on the air three years ago and received its renewal amid its 25th-anniversary celebration.
Millionaire debuted in the United States in 1999. Regis Philbin was the host, guiding contestants through multiple-choice questions with the money they could win increasing after every correct answer.
A version of the show aired on ABC in 2020 and 2021 with Late Night host Jimmy Kimmel as host.
However, the show was one of many productions that shut down during that time due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Jimmy Kimmel is set to return as host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire this summer as ABC celebrates the 25th anniversary of the landmark game show.
Originally hosted by Regis Philbin, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire first premiered on American television 25 years ago last month. It was an instant hit, and ultimately became so popular that at one point ABC was airing the show five nights a week. It finished the 1999-2000 season as the higest rated show on television with an average of 29+ million viewers.
Kimmel first stepped into Regis Philbin’s shoes back in April 2020 for a then-new network revival of the series, and returned later that year with a second season. It’s been on hiatus ever since.
ABC says the show’s new season will see two celebrity contestants playing together for charity.

Netflix’s post-apocalyptic TV series Sweet Tooth Season 3 is well underway for its premiere — the show’s third installment will hit Netflix screens on June 6, 2024. It is based on Jeff Lemire’s outstanding DC comic of the same name, and ever since the premiere of the first season back in 2021, it’s been a rollercoaster ride for both comic oldies and the newer show’s audience. The show follows the story of Gus (Christian Convery), a human-deer hybrid boy, who is navigating life in a cruel post-apocalyptic world without his father, with the help of the Big Man (Nonso Anozie)’

Tony Pigg, the popular DJ and on-air personality at Wplj-fm and two other New York rock radio stations for more than three decades, has died. He was 85.
Pigg died Friday of natural causes at his home in New York City, his wife of 37 years, Lucinda Scala Quinn, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Pigg also served as the staff announcer of the New York-based live morning show co-hosted by Regis Philbin and, after his retirement, Kelly Ripa. Pigg held that job for 30-plus years through 2019.
Richard Quinn was born in Sacramento on April 11, 1939. He studied art with painter Wayne Thiebaud at Sacramento State and served with the U.S. Army before beginning his radio career at an Am station in Winslow, Arizona, and then at Kroy-am in his hometown.

Everyone loves a nice, shiny title. “Best Pizza in the County!” “Tallest Building in the State!” “World’s Largest Pair of Underwear!” (Author’s Note: We had the honor of seeing these once; they ruled.)
But it seems like many a haunted house is said to be the most haunted in the country, without that being strictly possible — there can only be one. The title is sometimes proudly self-imposed or enthusiastically applied by visitors, but either way, it spreads and becomes a thing.
So Kristen and Will of Bloody FM’s Guide to the Unknown podcast have decided to start pitting these houses against each other in an informal bracket-style competition to see what, indeed, actually is the most haunted house in America, as decided by two completely unqualified people with nary a boot on the ground.

‘$la$her$’ Blu-ray Review: Terror Vision Unearths an Obscure 2001 Horror Movie With a Killer Premise
By late 2000, reality television was considered must-see entertainment by millions. Whether it was the drama and backstabbing tribal exploits of Survivor or Regis Philbin asking for the “final answer” on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, this boob tube subgenre was all the rage worldwide. Meanwhile, Japan has always been known for their off the wall, physically demanding gameshows like Takeshi’s Castle and Kunoichi.
Writer-director Maurice Devereaux (End of the Line) rode the wave of reality TV in an ocean of Japanese game show craziness on a surfboard crafted from The Running Man to bring the world $la$hers in 2001. And thanks to Terror Vision, who have been on a roll with their releases lately, we have a chance to revisit this Canadian direct-to-video flick. Despite how the title sounds, it is not supposed to be a straight-on horror film, but a satire in a horror film’s clothing, so to speak.

Ian Fleming is perhaps best known for being the creator of James Bond and the series of novels that center the character, but he's also the mind behind the 1964 children's novel "Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang: The Magical Car," which was subsequently turned into the beloved, Academy Award-nominated fantasy movie musical and later, a stage musical. The story focuses on the Potts family, namely, siblings Jeremy and Jemima, who desperately try to set up their widowed inventor father Caractacus with a beautiful woman named Truly Scrumptious. And people had the audacity to make fun of the character names in "The Hunger Games" series? Tsk. Tsk. During a day at the beach, Caractacus tells the children a fantastical tale about the villainous Baron Bomburst, the tyrant ruler of the land of Vulgaria, and his attempts to steal their magical family car, the titular Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Everyone knows that Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are big fans of The Bachelor franchise, with their favorite spin-off being The Golden Bachelor.
Recently, on Live with Kelly and Mark, the topic of another spin-off had Kelly and Mark speculating on who would make a good candidate for The Golden Bachelorette.
Kathie Lee Gifford, long-time co-host with Regis Philbin before Kelly took over the show, is rumored to be on The Golden Bachelorette, premiering this fall.
After Joey Graziadei, the current guy on The Bachelor did not know who Kathie Lee Gifford was and got booed, Mark must have been thinking hard about who else would shine in the show.

Today, Deadline has revealed that Hemsworth is being joined in the cast of The Witcher season 4 by Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix and the John Wick franchise), who will be playing a character named Regis.
If you’re like me and don’t have any familiarity with the Witcher franchise outside of the Netflix show, chances are that the first person you think of when you see the name Regis is Regis Philbin. But, of course, Fishburne’s casting on this show is not going to require any sort of Philbin impression. Instead, the Regis character he’ll be playing is someone who was introduced in Andrzej Sapkowski’s novel Baptism of Fire.

Jon Rosen, a longtime WME agent and executive who has represented some of TV’s best known news anchors and celebrity chefs, is leaving the Endeavor-owned agency to launch his own management firm, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Rosen, who represents NBC News’ Stephanie Ruhle, Willie Geist and Hallie Jackson as well as CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, is set to manage many of his current clients, according to one of these people, and they are expected to retain WME as an agency. A WME spokesperson did not respond immediately to a query seeking comment and Rosen could not be reached immediately for comment via a call Wednesday.
His exit comes as WME parent Endeavor has come under new scrutiny on Wall Street. The company, which recently helped create the combat-sports company Tko, suggested in October that it might consider going private.

The last time Rupert Murdoch believed that he had created the Next Big Thing, he celebrated at the Temple of Dendur.
The Roman Egyptian temple, completed in 10 Bce, was dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis, who was believed to help the dead enter the afterlife.
Now a few Millennia later, the Temple of Dendur resides as a centerpiece in the collection of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, where thousands of visitors gather each year to marvel at its grandeur.
The evening of Oct. 24, 2007, Murdoch gathered New York’s business and media elite at the Temple, where hundreds of candles spelled out the word “Fox” as they entered the venue.
The purpose of the party was a celebration of Murdoch’s new idea, one conceived with his Fox News lieutenant Roger Ailes: a competitor to CNBC called Fox Business Network.

After it was announced that Pat Sajak would be retiring from Wheel of Fortune after the upcoming season, many were left wondering who exactly would be taking over the game show. Would Vanna White step away from the board? Would the gig go to a relative unknown? Or would it go to a workaholic who has become synonymous with hosting duties? As it turns out, Wheel of Fortune will be hosted by none other than Ryan Seacrest.
In a statement, Ryan Seacrest announced that he would take over as host of Wheel of Fortune while also paying tribute to Sajak, who began hosting the syndicated version of the popular game show in 1983. “I’m truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak…I can say, along with the rest of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna...

It was a tale of two coasts today, as WGA picketers and their allies targeted Disney’s upfront presentation in New York and also the company’s Burbank lot in Los Angeles. And the two scenes were very different.

Post-apocalyptic series often are centered around zombies or cannibals or even decimated factions of humanity fighting against each other for survival. Rarely are these stories about hope, and even more rarely are they appropriate for all audiences. But the Netflix series Sweet Tooth is the exception to the rule. Following a cast of young kids trying to survive an uncertain future, the Robert Downey Jr produced series is unlike any other television show.
Sweet Tooth became a massive summer hit for Netflix a couple of years ago, unmatched by any series besides Stranger Things. Based on the DC Comics series from Jeff Lemire, Sweet Tooth follows young Gus, a deer-human hybrid child born after a cataclysmic disease known as The Sick killed most of mankind during the Great Crumble period. In season one, Gus (Christian Convery) and Big Man (Nonso Anozie) traversed America to find Gus’ mother. Instead, they encountered The Last Men,...

Will Gus ever be reunited with Birdie or Big Man? Those are the two biggest questions lingering as we head into Sweet Tooth‘s sophomore season.
The premiere (all eight episodes are now available to stream on Netflix) begins with Birdie as she hunts for something in a frozen tundra. She hikes through snow and freezing temps to find a crevasse near some mountains she has stenciled on a map. Using a rope, she spelunks down between glaciers to find a pirate ship filled with purple flowers. But she also finds something of extreme importance: the journal of one Dr.

Even before HBO’s “The Last of Us” popularized the narrative of a post-apocalyptic world essentially being a way of mother nature striking a balance by curbing human egocentrism, there was Netflix’s adaptation of the DC/Vertigo comic “Sweet Tooth.” In fact, readers who are well acquainted with the comics storyline will surely spot some instances of inspiration in “The Last of Us” as well, which goes beyond the similarity in the setting or character archetypes. However, coming back to the Netflix series, like multiple other media adaptations of comic-book-related properties, “Sweet Tooth” differs from its source material in some significant ways that range from minor details to the entire tone of the narrative styles. Now that the second season of the acclaimed series has been released, we would like to compare the first two seasons with the source material, i.e., comics, to help the viewers better appreciate both mediums.

Season one of “Sweet Tooth,” which debuted nearly two years ago during the height of Covid, was a revelation at the time. As the natural world seemed to be going to Hell, this show offered hope, joy, and love, even though it is set during a post-apocalypse where a deadly virus wiped out most of humanity. In fact, the most exciting aspect of the introductory story wasn’t the post-apocalyptic setting or the race to find a cure for “the Sick.” It’s the multiple scenes where Gus, aka Sweet Tooth, the young deer-human hybrid kid, is discovering his love of candy and developing his found-family relationships with Bear and Big Man.

The Last of Us struck a nerve with its story of a grizzled cynic shepherding a youngster across a treacherous post-apocalyptic America. But Sweet Tooth got there first, even if it didn’t create as much of a fuss. The dark Netflix YA drama premiered in June 2021, when the Covid pandemic was still very much top of mind. In telling the story of a little boy with deer antlers and his massive, taciturn protector, the show achieved an off-kilter, dystopian sweetness that made for a winning combination. Then it went away.

The charming little animal-child hybrid show is back for a second season, which is sure to be an immediate success amongst fans. The series that surprised viewers across the globe during the pandemic became a super hit in days due to its chirpy little Deer Boy and the Big Man with more heart than anything else. “Sweet Tooth” was a hopeful story that didn’t feel like a burden at the time of a pandemic but rather gave people the dopamine boost they needed during the dreaded times of the lockdown. While it retains its dose of “cute and amusing,” it also manages to get deeper into the darker aspects of things without becoming overbearing or boring. But now it has the opportunity to become a bigger hit among a wider audience that wants to invest in a more emotional and perhaps bleaker atmosphere. Amongst the insanely successful satirical dramas,...

“Sweet Tooth” is one of Netflix’s little gems that is equal parts adorable and substantive, making it a wholesome binge-worthy watch. The fantasy-drama is a delightful story that consists of the found family trope with endearing characters. The lead character, Gus, and his little ears are absolutely delightful to watch throughout. It’s a dystopian story infused with hope, some morals for young kids, and the overarching theme of climate change, but most importantly, “it’s okay to be a weirdo” is our biggest takeaway. With the second season just around the corner, here’s a little refresher on everything that went down in season 1.

Westerns hold a nostalgic place in television history. Dominating the primetime airwaves, more than 100 original TV Western series aired between 1949 and 1969. Shows such as The Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, and The Rifleman had a faithful following, tuning in each week to witness the fast-paced, gun-slinging, horse-riding action. The Big Valley, starring prominent actors Barbara Stanwyck, Lee Majors, and Linda Evans, ran for four seasons in the mid-’60s. Despite its immense popularity, the TV series ended abruptly. Why was The Big Valley canceled?

In 1964, The Big Valley premiered on ABC, becoming one of the first Westerns to showcase a woman as the lead. The controversial move proved popular among viewers, and the series reignited the career of Stanwyck, an iconic big-screen actor. She portrayed the formidable matriarch of the wealthy Barkley family, tasked with running her late husband’s California ranch.

Friday marked Ryan Seacrest’s final appearance on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” and naturally, it was an emotional morning. Seacrest began crying almost as soon as he hit the stage, and choked even more back as he bid his final farewell.
In the final minutes of the show, Seacrest acknowledged just how “very lucky” he is to have the career he does, and made a point to first praise his now-former co-host.
“Listen, I am a very lucky guy. I’m a very lucky man Kelly,” he said. “I want you all to know it’s not lost on me how fortunate I am. Fortunate to have had the seat next to you Kel, for six years. You’re incomparable. There’s no one like you.”

Kelly Ripa first appeared on morning TV when she was a soap star on “All My Children.” At that time, she was being booked as a guest on “Live With Regis & Kathie Lee” by a young executive producer, Michael Gelman, who eventually helped cast her in a lead role, replacing Kathie Lee Gifford in 2001 to co-host with Regis Philbin.
More than 22 years later, Ripa and Gelman are still working together every day on “Live!” which has continued on as one of the greatest successes in television history, currently reigning as the top daytime talk show in syndication.
“She had that ‘wow factor’ as a guest,” Gelman tells Variety, reminiscing on when he first met a 20-something Ripa in the ’90s.
Gelman attributes much of the show’s success to Ripa’s relatability and keen understanding of the talk show format, which she has mastered for over two decades. “She feels like she’s your friend,...

Kelly Ripa has revealed the alarmingly sexist working conditions she faced during her first 10 years on Live With Regis and Kelly and beyond. Ripa joined Regis Philbin on Live in 2001. The longtime talk show star says she wasn’t given an office setup until her fourth season despite being its co-host, and when she did get one, it was in the janitor’s closet she had been working from before. That small space was her “office” through the late Philbin’s exit from the series in 2011. In contrast, Philbin had his own private office. Ripa also said she had to use public restrooms used by audience members, even when she was pregnant, instead of being provided a private bathroom like Philbin, who died in 2020. “It was the strangest experience I’ve ever had in my life,” Ripa told Variety in a cover story interview. “I was told that I couldn’t have an office.

Kelly Ripa is speaking candidly about the sexism she’s faced at “Live!” over the years.
Ripa has spent 22 years hosting the beloved daytime show, joining in Feb. 2021 to host with Regis Philbin.
However, despite now reportedly earning a salary in the range of $20 million a year, it’s definitely not been easy to get to where she is, Ripa tells Variety.
She admits she didn’t even have a permanent office backstage for her first years on air, recalling: “It was the strangest experience I’ve ever had in my life.
“I was told that I couldn’t have an office. It didn’t make a whole lot of sense, especially because there were empty offices that I could have easily occupied.”
Ripa, who fronts the first of five Power of Women issues of the mag, was finally given a permanent space — an empty janitor’s closest.

The 52-year-old Live! talk show host first joined the network in 2001, replacing Kathie Lee Gifford as the late Regis Philbin’s co-host on Live with Regis and Kelly.
Following Philbin’s 2011 exit, Ripa’s since been the show’s mainstay. However, she has claimed that there have been difficulties over the years.
Describing some periods as “very tough”, Ripa spoke with Variety about the rocky years she endured behind the scenes of the show, including the negotiations she had just to land her own backstage office space.

Following in Winfrey’s footsteps wasn’t a path that the actress born and raised in New Jersey dreamed for herself.
