The world of holiday programming continues to grow. While Hallmark Channel and Lifetime have seen major success with their “Countdown to Christmas” and “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” slates, respectively, Great American Family joined the discussion in 2021.
In June 2021, the network, originally tilted Great American Country (Gac), was acquired by Gac Media, a group formed by former Hallmark CEO Bill Abbott and Hicks Equity Partners. In the fall of that year, the network was relaunched as Gac Family.
Under Gac Media, Great American Country changed to “Gac Family” and later to “Great American Family” — the title they have gone by since August 2022. The channel became similar in content to what Abbott had created at Hallmark, including original made-for-tv movies, holiday programming and big franchises. However, it also focuses more heavily on faith-driven programming.

Barber has joined the cast of the Christmas movie Candace Cameron Bure Presents: Christmas on Candy Lane, Deadline reports.

Corrective Measures, an odd mix of action, prison, science fiction and monster movies, opens with a parking garage execution gone wrong as a band of goons led by what appears to be a werewolf are wiped out by the vigilante known as Payback just so he can have the pleasure of killing their intended victim himself before the cops arrest him. He’s sent to prison, but not just any prison, he’s going to San Tiburon which seems to be this world’s answer to the MCU’s Vault.

Splicing X-Men and Suicide Squad shouldn’t really work, but director Sean Patrick O’Reilly adds a subtle layer of social commentary to the comic-book schlock in a distinctive debut
Based on Grant Chastain’s graphic novel, Corrective Measures is an unabashed splicing of X-Men and Suicide Squad. Something so derivative really shouldn’t work, yet its setting, within the confines of San Tiburon – a maximum-security prison for inmates with superpowers – corrals the story into something close to a brassily characterised ensemble drama, while restricting the action to occasional raucous outbreaks. Presumably done for budget reasons, it winds up a more distinctive film than it otherwise might be, and is presided over by Michael Rooker – inexplicably wearing a straw boater throughout – as the arrogant and conniving Warden Devlin.
We enter San Tiburon along with Payback (Dan Payne), a Bible-bashing meathead whose mission in life is hunting down “enhanced humans”; superpowered genetic...

This week on The Flash, Cisco delivered a finished metahuman cure. But yes, there was a “but…,” in that they now needed someone on whom to test it.
After Sherloque noted that any local metas had either been killed by Cicada or left Dodge, the idea arose of seeing if an Earth-Two meta, King Shark, might want to volunteer. Lyla led the team to a pier where new-ish Argus hire Tanya Lamden aka widow of Earth-One’s Shay Lamden was communicating with King Shark via a new bit of tech she dubbed the “crown.” Keen on Team Flash’s idea...

As you may remember, we’d originally presented photos from “King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd” a few weeks ago, but those surprisingly focused much more on Jesse L. Martin’s long-awaited return to The Flash. In fact, there was really nothing to offer regarding the super heavyweight fight at that time. And though I’m sure we’re all appreciative of seeing Joe West return to the fold, I’m guessing you may have felt shortchanged.
Fortunately, the network has released yet another batch of images from said episode at the eleventh hour. This isn’t unheard of in my line of work, as producers may hold onto certain info if it’s deemed too spoilerish. In this case, though, it could’ve been due to the visual effects team needing more time to polish the headlining creatures.

Entertaining as the current season of The Flash has thus far proven to be, there’s been something missing: Joe West. Played by Jesse L. Martin, this fine detective has shown himself to be an invaluable ally to the crew at Star Labs, and lent countless heartwarming moments since the pilot episode aired. In other words, he’s every bit as good of a TV cop as he is a TV dad.
Unfortunately, Jesse had to take a leave of absence from the series after injuring his back. As such, his character hasn’t been seen since episode 5×04. But now that the veteran actor has been given ample time to heal, he’ll return just in time for what might end up being March’s biggest Arrowverse showdown.

“King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd, are you kidding me?” No, Iris, we aren’t. The recent promo for next week’s episode of The Flash echoed all our thoughts when Candice Patton’s character reacted with shock at the title of the installment.
“King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd” promises to be a blast for Flash lovers everywhere, as it’ll bring together two of the Scarlet Speedster’s biggest, baddest and weirdest rogues. But what’s caused the giant telepathic primate to be pitted against the ferocious man-shark?
Well, this new synopsis for the fifteenth episode of season 5 teases that an unexpected alliance between Grodd and Team Flash is what brings the pair into battle. However, it seems the real key to stopping King Shark is to appeal to his more human side.

William Shatner has a new film coming out called Aliens Ate My Homework and today he introduces the first trailer for it. The movie is based on the book series by Bruce Coville, and Shatner explains that he plays an "intrepid intergalactic adventurer known as Phil the Plant."
The movie is based on the first book in the Rod Allbright and the Galactic Patrol series and the story follows two middle school students looking for an alien outlaw hiding on Earth. Obviously, the studio is hoping to produce a series of films based on this property. The whole thing looks silly, but it seems like something the kids will enjoy.

There’s nothing quite like “Live Pd,” the hit A&E series that follows cops and sheriffs — live, in real time, as they patrol various cities and counties across the country. The series began as an eight-episode experiment, for two hours a week, back in October 2016. But as it turned into a sensation, A&E kept expanding the show’s footprint.
Now, “Live Pd” airs twice a week, on Friday and Saturday nights, for three hours both evenings (from 9 p.m. to midnight). And other than a brief five-week hiatus in September, it’s been on the air for most of the year.
“It is by far the most frustrating, challenging, and gratifying program that I have ever been involved with,” said executive producer Dan Cesareo, whose Big Fish Entertainment is behind the series. “No two nights are the same. You could have a great show one night, where we...

Dan was “Always Encouraging, Helping others, Giving All he had to give and bringing Joy and Laughter to all he met,” Rebecca wrote.

The eighth and final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones won’t return until 2019, that much we know, but when it does, it’ll seemingly reduce us all into blubbering wrecks.
At least, that’s according to Dark Phoenix star Sophie Turner, who is poised to take charge as Sansa Stark, acting Lady of the North, one last time. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the so-hot-right-now actress previewed the “bittersweet” finale, and why the final read-through of season 8 brought “pretty much everyone” to tears.
This is by no means the first time that a member of the Thrones family has drawn attention to the series’ emotional end; back in October, Jon Snow Aegon Targaryen himself, Kit Harington, admitted that he also choked up upon reading the final script.
And that’s something Sophie Turner echoed in the interview with THR:

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of TV critics two questions and publishes the results on Tuesday. (The answer to the second, “What is the best show currently on TV?” can be found at the end of this post.)
This week’s question: In light of recent “Galaxy Quest” and “Lord of the Rings” news, which movie/movie franchise should be rebooted as a TV series? (question courtesy of Allison Keene)
Pilot Viruet (@pilotbacon), Vice
I have so many ideas for this! During that season we got “Minority Report” and “Limitless,” I got angry about how many of these reboots/remakes/sequels are male-skewering and male-dominated and started making a list of all the movies I’d rather see instead – obviously ones that are more focused on telling stories about women and non-binary folks. “Whip It” could be a fantastic Freeform teen drama series (I’m still angry that...

Armando Iannucci feels like he dodged a bullet. The creator of HBO’s political satire “Veep” left the show after its fourth season, before anyone knew that Donald Trump would become president. Now, he’s not sure if he would know how to write jokes about a D.C. establishment that has become a real-life parody. “I’m kind of relieved, I really am,” the British writer-director told IndieWire in Toronto, where his new movie, “The Death of Stalin,” is premiering in the festival’s Platform section.
“What can you do and say that hasn’t already been said and done by him? Personally, I just find it difficult to be funny about him,” Iannucci said. “I can only be frustrated and flabbergasted by him. Outraged.”
That’s a strong statement from one of the preeminent writers of political dysfunction. Iannucci rose to prominence as the creator of the BBC comedy “The Thick of It,...
