Tuesday night found several shows hitting season/series lows; for some, it couldn't come at a worse time.
9-1-1: Lone Star (read post-mortem and/or review) came down to 3.2 million viewers and a 0.3 rating in the demo, posting season lows.
The 9-1-1 spinoff has not yet secured a renewal for Season 5, and while the chances are that it will be back, it could be in trouble if these numbers are the norm for the spring.
Accused, which was recently renewed for Season 2, was steady at 1.7 million viewers and a 0.2 rating.
Over on ABC, it was a down night for all three dramas.
The Rookie (3.4 million/0.3 rating), The Rookie: Feds (2.4 million/0.2 rating), and Will Trent (2.6 million/0.2 rating).
Feds has yet to be renewed at ABC, and it's likely the latest crossover event was a test to see how these shows would perform by having connective tissue between episodes.

Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo altered the findings of a 2022 Covid-19 vaccine study to present the risk of adverse cardiac events in vaccinated males as being higher than it actually was, according to documents obtained by Politico.
In a draft of the study, Ladapo, a vocal vaccine skeptic associated with the anti-vaccine group America’s Frontline Doctors, personally edited the language of the study to indicate that it “suggests mRNA vaccination may be driving the increased risk in males, especially among males aged 18-39,” and that “the risk associated with...

Will Power’s Fetch Clay, Make Man is coming to Culver City thanks to LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s SpringHill Company and Center Theatre Group.
The play, focused on the unlikely friendship of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali and Hollywood icon Stepin Fetchit, will hit the stage at the Kirk Douglas Theatre from June 25-July 16 with Debbie Allen at the helm in her Ctg directorial debut. Opening night is set for June 25.
The story explores the bond that formed when the two met in the days leading up to one of Ali’s most anticipated fights, with one described as “a vibrant and audacious youth, the other a resentful and widely resented relic — each fighting to form their public personas and shape their legacies amidst the struggle of the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-1960s.”

Will anyone win more than a million dollars in the fifth season of the The Wall TV show on NBC? As we all know, Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like The Wall is cancelled or renewed for season six.

Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we invite you to rate all of the fifth season episodes of The Wall here.

Ike Perlmutter, who is generally someone who keeps a low profile, has made a rare public show of his dissatisfaction with Disney.
The former chairman of Marvel Entertainment and largest individual shareholder in Disney went public with his complaints about the company’s direction, saying it should “sadden” investors in the company that he is gone. Since selling Marvel to Disney in 2009, Perlmutter had become an increasingly marginal figure in the day-to-day management of Marvel, most recently overseeing its consumer products operations as Kevin Feige continues to lead Marvel Studios.
The investor released a statement, in which he claims he was fired over his “fixation on fiscal disciple” and support for activist shareholder Nelson Peltz. The Trian CEO had waged a proxy fight in pursuit of a board seat and other considerations, but withdrew earlier this year after CEO Bob Iger unveiled plans to cut $5.5 billion in costs.

Succession decided to take a direct page out of the Murdoch playbook in its latest episode.
The acclaimed HBO drama is said to be loosely based on the business magnate whose empire includes The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post and Fox News in the US and The Sun and The Times in the UK.
In its fourth season’s latest episode, “Rehearsal”, the irascible patriarch and media mogul Logan Roy (Brian Cox) climbs atop paper boxes to address his staff at Atn – a fictional equivalent to Fox News.
He proceeds to give a rousing speech to his employees, yelling that he couldn’t care less about growth statistics as long as “we’re killing the opposition”.
“Our rivals should be checking in, out the back of their chauffeured cars because they can’t believe what we did,” Logan shouts.

There have been many strange and unusual collaborations in music. However, a collaboration between showbiz legend Liza Minnelli and emo rock band My Chemical Romance wasn’t exactly on anyone’s bingo card. Here’s how two unlikely artists came together to make music.
Liza Minnelli | Kevin Tachman/Getty Images The emo band took a new direction on ‘The Black Parade’
My Chemical Romance took the pop-punk/emo music scene by storm in 2004 with their second album (first on a major label), Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. The record was a commercial success, and suddenly the rock band was a driving force in music.
The New Jersey-born band initially set out to make Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge a concept album. According to Loud Wire, the band’s liner notes read: “The story of a man, a woman, and the corpses of a thousand evil men…”

San Francisco, March 22 (Ians) Shou Zi Chew, the CEO of Chinese short-form video platform, which faces a nationwide ban in the US, has warned users as he prepares to appear before the US Congress on March 23.
In a minute-long video on TikTok, Chew thanked the TikTok community of 150 million Americans ahead of his congressional hearing.
“That’s almost half of the US coming to TikTok, including 5 million US businesses. The majority of these are small and medium businesses,” he mentioned.
TikTok has about 7,000 employees in the US, reports The Verge.
“Some politicians have started talking about banning TikTok,” Chew said. “Now this could take TikTok away from all 150 million of you.”
The Joe Biden administration has reportedly demanded that China-based ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, must sell its stake in the short-video making app or face a possible ban.

Michael Winterbottom has devoted much of his filmmaking career to revisiting real-life events through works blurring the boundaries between documentary and drama to various degrees.
The filmmaker shed light on his approach in a recent Doha Film Institute (Dfi) masterclass, going behind the scenes of Welcome To Sarajevo, 24 Hour Party People, In This World, The Road To Guantanamo, A Might Heart and Eleven Days In May.
“It’s a continuum, even if you’re filming a fantasy film in a studio on a green screen there is an element of document to that. You’re recording that moment of the act of performance,” he said when quizzed on his attitude towards documentary versus fiction.
“Equally, even in a documentary like Eleven Days… you’re trying to shape that story, so it’s a continuum,” he added, referring to the 2022 documentary commemorating 68 children killed in Israeli bombing raids over Gaza...

But stick with me here anyway as we both just might learn something about Nate Shelley, Ted Lasso, Apple TV+, and the healing magic of television.
As Ted Lasso season 3 episode 1 “Smells Like Mean Spirit” confirms, this happy-go-lucky show about an American optimist in London now has an arch villain. And his name is Nathan “Nate the Great” Shelley (Nick Mohammed). Despite some growing pains here and there, Nate has adapted to his role as manager of West Ham United under villainous owner Rupert Mannion (Anthony Head) quite comfortably. It all culminates in a cruel pre-season press conference where “The Wonder Kid” (though Nate himself prefers “Wunderkind”) has nothing but mean things...

Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon was announced in 1973 at a press conference held at the London Planetarium, a spectral site which mirrored the album cover’s beam of light refracted through a triangle into a rainbow. Perhaps the iconic prismatic image provided the initial idea for fans to sync the classic film The Wizard of Oz (1939) to the album’s rock soundscape.
The band’s history with movies is vast and varied. They scored films in the aftermath of the demise and departure of the band’s founder, Syd Barrett. The success of Dark Side of the Moon also helped the group become motion picture producers, investing in the 1975 comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

When it comes to dramatic storytelling, few shows do it better than Showtime's "Billions." Premiering in 2016, the series initially followed U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) and hedge fund CEO Bobby "Axe" Axelrod (Damian Lewis) in a cat-and-mouse game involving financial crimes, determined (and oft-corrupt) government officials, dysfunctional families, obsession, and tested loyalties. While taking some license to push the narrative and give each character a unique personality, "Billions" also highlights the real worlds of federal prosecutors and high finance. The first season and its two main characters were allegedly loosely inspired by the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara's case against Sac Capital Advisors founder Steven Cohen for insider trading.
As The Wall Street Journal reports, depicting these complicated worlds as accurately as possible was important to "Billions" co-creators and writers Andrew Ross Sorkin, Brian Koppelman, and David Levien, who...

Springhill, the production, consumer product and brand consultancy company founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter, is cutting some staffers while saying it’s poised to expand its total number of employees this year.
“This was an internal reorganization,” a spokesperson for the Los Angeles-based entertainment firm said. “10 positions were eliminated, and we are hiring 24 more people.

CEO Carter informed staffers of the layoffs and reorganization on Monday. The Springhill Company, founded in 2020 with a reported 100 million in backing from investors, rolls up multiple entertainment firms backed by James and Carter.
