It might not be the "Frasier" of old, but Kelsey Grammer's Paramount+ revival of the beloved sitcom is a comforting thing to have around in 2024. The show was never going to match its predecessor, which belongs to a golden age of '90s sitcoms, but if Grammer and new showrunners Joe Cristali and Chris Harris could manage to conjure even an iota of that "Frasier" charm, their reboot was always going to make for a watchable show.
Now, midway through season 2, it's fair to say that streaming age "Frasier" has proven it has something, even if we're still not sure what that something is. The series feels strikingly anachronistic just by virtue of the sitcom format and its laugh track and soundstage sets. But it's also strangely comforting in its familiarity. Grammer is just as delightfully engaging as he ever was in the lead role, and the prospect of...

When Community Flipped Classic Sitcom Tropes on Their Heads – A Game-Changing Moment! ( Photo Credit – Prime Video )
Back in the glory days of Thursday night TV, Community wasn’t just a sitcom—it was a deliciously meta-wrecking ball to the whole genre. While The Office, Parks and Recreation, and 30 Rock played the hits, Community dove headfirst into chaotic paintball wars, alternate realities, and a talking ass-crack bandit. Oh yeah, it got weird. And that’s precisely why we loved it.
Dan Harmon, the mad scientist who later cooked up Rick and Morty, was the brains behind this bizarre brilliance. The show kicked off with Joel McHale’s Jeff Winger—Mr. Slick Lawyer Guy was forced back to school because his degree was as fake as a plastic plant. He pulls together a ragtag study group of lovable misfits: washed-up businessman Pierce, social justice warrior Britta, straight-a student Annie, ex-jock Troy,...

Ken Jeong has always been a scene-stealer — even as a chorus member with no lines in a Duke University production of “Kiss Me Kate” when he was 18. “I still have the review in my office; it says, ‘Did I mention Ken Jeong, a puckish performer in the chorus who best watch his back if he keeps stealing scenes from the principals?’” recalls the actor. “So, I think it’s always been in my DNA.”
Jeong has never lost that playful quality as he moved from an actual doctor to stand-up comedian to film and TV doctor (“Knocked Up” and “Dr. Ken”) and into several of the most popular movies of the last 20 years. In addition, he’s managed to maintain a reputation as one of the most lovable and adored personalities on TV thanks to appearing as himself in hits like “The Masked Singer” and hosting “I Can See Your Voice.

With any TV show that goes on for thirty-six years and counting, there will inevitably be something from an early episode that comes back around to haunt it. The "South Park" showrunners have written entire episodes apologizing for poorly-aged takes they gave in their early years, while "Family Guy" has had their characters outright say that they're now "phasing out the gay jokes" that were all too common in their early seasons.
Meanwhile, "The Simpsons" ended up the center of a national conversation around 2020 about the ethics of having white voice actors play non-white cartoon characters, leading to the show giving Dr. Hibbert a new voice actor who unfortunately couldn't quite pull off the character's trademark laugh. They've also quietly phased Apu out of the show entirely, after comedian Hari Kondabolu sparked a nationwide discussion over the character's legacy as one of the only Indian characters so many Americans were familiar with for decades.

Netflix has truly been the gift that keeps on giving in 2024. All throughout the year, the streaming service has continued to acquire so many past and recent favorite television series for our binge-watching pleasure, even beyond its own original series.
Whether it's This Is Us, The Resident, Fire Country, Interview with the Vampire, Sex and the City, Lost, or How I Met Your Mother, there were (and are) plenty of great shows to binge on Netflix. In a post-Suits renaissance world, what's old is new again and we're all eating it up.
But the streamer isn't finished yet with bringing popular and underrated series to its ranks. This fall, Gossip Girl returns to Netflix, and soon after The CW classic arrives in October, one of NBC's most underrated workplace comedies begins streaming on Netflix for the first time.

The Electric State promised big adventure and even bigger action during a panel at New York Comic Con, which showed off Anthony and Joe Russo’s latest Netflix film.
The footage and discussion with creatives and cast — including Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown — was presented to an electric crowd at the Empire Stage on Thursday, hours after a new teaser trailer dropped online.
The film hits Netflix on March 16 and is a spin on Simon Stalenhag’s graphic novel, which explores a battle between man and intelligent machine set in the ‘90s.
Electric State follows Michelle (Brown), a young woman with a sweet but mysterious robot who teams up with eccentric drifter Keats (Pratt) for a cross-country expedition to find her brother in a retro-futuristic U.S., where an uneasy peace has settled following a human and AI war.

Recently, I had the opportunity to review a new book by Disney director Stephen Anderson. Anderson is perhaps best known for directing the 2007 cult classic Meet the Robinsons and the 2011 Winnie the Pooh, which was the last entirely hand-drawn feature from the studio. Before those films, he was with the studio for quite some time, working on movies like Tarzan, The Emperor’s New Groove, and Brother Bear.
Now, he takes us on a journey back to when the company’s future was uncertain due to the death of its founder, Walt Disney.
The book Disney In-Between: The Lost Years 1966-1986 gives a deep dive into what is commonly known as Disney’s “Dark Age.”
The first few years of the company after Walt’s death were somewhat stable, mainly finishing up projects that Walt was already involved with. But after that, things started to feel like they had lost their magic touch.

2024 has been a really huge year for "Saturday Night Live," the sketch comedy institution that operates out of Studio 8 in New York City's famous 30 Rockefeller Center. With the show entering its 50th season during its September premiere -- which brought Emmy-winning "Hacks" star Jean Smart on board as a host -- and a major election this year providing plenty of material week after week, more eyes are on Lorne Michaels' 90-minute late-night show than ever. Not only that, but Jason Reitman's film "Saturday Night," which focuses on the show's humble beginnings and its messy, chaotic 1975 premiere, releases on October 11 (the anniversary of the "Saturday Night Live" series premiere).

Spoiler Alert: This story contains plot details for Peacock’s “Fight Night”
In the eighth and final episode of “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist,” viewers learn the shocking truth. A twist reveals that New Jersey gangster Richard “Cadillac Richie” Wheeler (Terrance Howard), who appeared to be a victim of the brazen robbery, was the mastermind behind the entire endeavor. His attempt to usurp Frank ‘Black Godfather’ Moten’s (Samuel L. Jackson) position nearly prevented Atlanta from transforming into the Black Mecca.
Based on Jeff Keating’s true-crime podcast of the same name, Peacock’s “Fight Night,” created by Shaye Ogbonna, is based on the real-life heist following Muhammad Ali’s triumphant return to the boxing ring in 1970. The fight would relaunch Ali into the boxing stratosphere following his blacklisting over his refusal to be drafted into the Vietnam War. However, the day following the fight, the robbery, a hustler...

The college world is a strange place where people from wildly different generations and walks of life can form quasi-familial groups before going their separate ways, never to meet again. It's only with hindsight that you realize just how unusual the experience is, at least if you came into it as an 18-year-old suddenly thrust into the swimming pool that is adulthood and desperate to keep your head above the water. Dan Harmon's "Community" isn't the most realistic comedy show about college on the surface -- in fact, the further along it went, the more untethered and cartoonish it became -- but it is one of the most honest ones. It knows what it feels like to be in that world, and its potpourri of loving pop culture parodies, satirical jabs at community college politics, and earnest character work served to capture the experience of aspiring to mature as...

VTubers are taking over Twitch, but the Amazon-owned platform is reminding virtual creators that they must still play by the rules. Twitch has used a new feature called Enforcement Notes to clarify its policy regarding nudity, which applies to VTubers as well as human creators.
The section of Twitch’s Community Guidelines regarding attire includes an addendum that addresses VTubers specifically. Per the clarification, VTubers must wear attire “that would be publicly appropriate for the context, location, and activity they are broadcasting.” While on stream, virtual creators must cover up their “genitalia, buttocks, hips, female-presented nipples, and underbust.”
These rules also apply to human creators, but there has been some confusion about how and when Twitch’s guidelines are applied. The platform has reversed its course on attire rules several times, and it has added new stipulations to that policy as its contentious “nudity meta” has evolved.

Believe me fellow Community fans. I know it feels like this movie is never going to happen. But it is, it's just taking a while. And look, I'm more than eager to see it. Though I'd rather the writers of Community: The Movie take their sweet time to make a comedic gem than feel rushed. Patience is a virtue, my friends. There's still some more waiting to do, as Shirley actress Yvette Nicole Brown has provided an update about the film.
In speaking with TheWrap, the star revealed that the movie which will be streaming on Peacock is still "going to happen." Though there might be slightly further delays because the script is "being reworked" for Shirley's character, per the news outlet. Initially, Brown wasn't going to be a part of the film.

Known for his smug, bemused sense of humor, Chevy Chase became famous for a series of highly profitable comedies. Let’s take a look back at 12 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Born in New York in 1943, Chase turned to comedy after a series of odd jobs. After a short stint with the “National Lampoon,” he shot to stardom in 1975 as one of the original Not Ready for Primetime Players on “Saturday Night Live.” In its first season, Chase became famous both for his pratfalls and his Gerald Ford impersonation. He was also the initial host of “Weekend Update,” starting each week with the catchphrase, “I’m Chevy Chase, and you’re not.”
After winning Emmys for writing and performing in 1976, Chase left “SNL” after one year to pursue a movie career (he was replaced by Bill Murray). He earned Golden Globe nominations as Best Comedy/Musical Actor...

But, series star Yvette Nicole Brown says that at this point, everyone is the cast has “read an entire, full script” — and they’re very excited about it.
That said, Brown stipulates that the script that the actors have seen likely isn’t the final draft that will make it to the screen. Nonetheless, she vows that this movie is on the road and will happen.
“I think it’s being reworked, but we all have read an entire, full script. So a script exists. I heard that we have the big credit in LA that gives you money to make the film.

Francis Ford Coppola’s behemoth of a film “Megalopolis” finally debuted in wide release this weekend and has predictably garnered fan and critic reviews that run the gamut — but with crowds largely agreed that it’s an unintentional comedy.

Joel McHale has denied claims that he is going to star in 'Jurassic World Rebirth'. The 'Community' star, 52, was rumoured to have joined the upcoming blockbuster but insists that the stories about his casting in the movie are nothing but hearsay. When Collider asked the actor whether he was in 'Rebirth', he said: "If you know something that would be great. Because I don’t know anything. I know nothing! I don’t know; no one’s asked me." 'The Bear' actor – who has children Edward, 19, and Isaac, 16, with his wife Sarah Williams – joked his youngest son had teased him about the rumours when stories about McHale's casting began to circulate online. He laughed: "My 16-year-old was making fun of me. He was like, 'Hey Dad, I heard you’re gonna be in 'Jurassic World'. Boy, how wrong are they,...

Fifteen years ago, the single most streets-ahead sitcom in American television history made its NBC debut — if only the movie wasn’t still frustratingly streets behind.
Despite teetering on the edge of collapse and cancellation for most of its original run, Dan Harmon’s meta-comedy masterpiece Community still has one of the most reliable and enduring fanbases of any comedy series on the internet, even nine years after the last episode hit streaming. Ever since Abed first uttered the words “six seasons and a movie” in the Season Two episode “Paradigms of Human Memory” when talking about the then-recently cancelled and not-nearly-as-loved NBC action-drama The Cape, the resilient Community fandom has continued to hold out hope that their own series will actualize such a perfect send-off, and with the Peacock-produced Community movie set to start production any decade now, that dream has never felt more real.

The hit comedy sitcom, Community, first aired in 2009 and ran for six seasons until 2015. It left an indelible mark on the world of television. The show’s quirky humor, lovable misfits, and heartfelt moments helped create a loyal fan base that has been clamoring for more.
The call of #sixseasonsandamovie that started as an inside joke snowballed into a fan cry, demanding a follow-up movie. Though announced in 2022, several factors caused a delay in further updates of the movie and it all seemed bleak. Until recently Donal Glover spoke with Deadline, about the status of the movie. It seems like comedy fans might get their new magnum opus in the new Community movie.

It turns out “Suits: L.A.” had 12 million reasons to relocate from Vancouver, where it shot its pilot, to actual Los Angeles. Ok, 12,000,001 if you count the title.
On Tuesday, the California Film Commission revealed the 19 new projects it has awarded a total of $51.6 million in tax credits to as enticement to shoot in the Golden State. Only one was a TV series: “Suits: LA” has been granted about $12 million in tax incentives through the Soundstage Filming Tax Credit Program to move to Los Angeles.
The latest list includes three big-budget feature films and 15 independent films. Of note are the long-rumored (and now confirmed!) Janis Joplin biopic starring and produced by Shailene Woodley. That one got $2.5 million. Another $2.5 million will go to the Artists Equity film “Killing Gawker” — the one for which Ben Affleck is reportedly casting himself as Hulk Hogan.

Suits: LA is going to be filming in the City of Angels in no small part thanks to some hefty help from Sacramento.
Along with the long-anticipated Community – The Movie, a look at Hulk Hogan’s pile-driving destruction of Gawker from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and a Shailene Woodley-starring Janis Joplin biopic, the Stephen Amell-led series is one of 19 successful projects that were announced today that will benefit from the Golden State’s coffers. Overall, the projects will receive a total of $51.6 million in incentives from California’s film and TV tax credits program.
In total, the 18 features and Suits: LA are expected to employ 2,768 crew members, 1,086 cast members, and 16,997 background performers.

It's been nearly two years since Peacock got the Community fandom’s hopes up, greenlighting the long-awaited feature-length film sequel of the cult NBC sitcom. But, filming still hasn't started, and while the double Hollywood union strikes in 2023 may have been partly to blame, Community has only ever been cursed by turmoil.
Community creator Dan Harmon was ousted after Season Three due to his “erratic behavior” and “oddball leadership style,” only to be reinstated before Season Five. Then, Community was canceled by NBC due to poor ratings after the fifth season, and picked up by Yahoo! Screen for the sixth and final chapter. And, throughout all that turmoil, core cast members came and went — including Chevy Chase, Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown and John Oliver.
Needless to say, Community hasn't been lucky, but the fandom continues to loudly chant the show’s ongoing joke — which has now broken the fourth...

To lift a title from kids’ novelist Wilson Rawls, this has become the Summer of the Monkeys.
Before we get to HBO’s Chimp Crazy and Netflix’s Secret Lives of Orangutans, devotees of the simian arts will be treated to Apple TV+’s Bad Monkey, a Carl Hiaasen adaptation from the streamer’s comedy patron saint, Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Shrinking).
Contrary to the show and novel’s name, the eponymous monkey is not, in fact, bad. Played by veteran animal thespian Crystal — you know her from Community, The Fabelmans and more — she is, in fact, quite good, reliable for reactive cutaways or wild, furry hijinks. She (actually, Crystal is playing a character who seems to identify as male, but we are not going down the path of monkey pronouns here) doesn’t always feel particularly connected to the plot of Bad Monkey, but it’s charming and fun just to have her around.

A number of medals have already been handed out at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, but the ultimate gold medal might have to go to Gojira for their sensational performance during the opening ceremony on Friday (July 26th). Drummer Mario Duplantier has now reflected on the global gig, calling it “a big step for the metal community.”
The French metal band absolutely wowed the world with their breathtaking performance from platforms extending outside the windows of the Conciergerie building, a former prison and courthouse that sits along the River Seine. The band performed an extreme metal version of the French Revolution-era song “Ah, Ça Ira!,” and were soon joined by opera singer Marina Viotti, who floated down the river in a wooden ship.

Short answer: No, Peacock does not offer a free trial currently. However, with plans starting at $7.99 per month it’s still one of the best bargains in streaming. Sign Up $7.99+ / month peacocktv.com
“Free is the right price,” or so the old cliche goes. Streaming free trials are a great way to get to know a platform’s library, but customers are likely pretty familiar with Peacock’s catalog already. The NBCUniversal streaming service is home to old favorites from primetime NBC like “The Office,” “Community,” “Scrubs,” and many more, as well as originals like “Five Nights at Freddy's” and “Those About to Die,” and Universal movies spanning the spectrum from “Monkey Man” to “Kung Fu Panda 4.”

As the situation comedy disappears from broadcast television, we might be losing more than simply 23 minutes of laughs surrounded by Progressive commercials. Over the past 50 years, the sitcom has been a surefire cannon from which to launch unknown comic actors onto the A-list.
Here are 7 sitcoms that turned anonymous comedians into the biggest stars in the world…
1 Mork & Mindy
Robin Williams was a 1970s club comic with a growing reputation as an improvisational genius. A guest turn on Happy Days — producer Garry Marshall’s kid was into Star Wars so Marshall ordered writers to invent a funny alien — launched a spin-off series that turned Williams into a star practically overnight. Also up for the Happy Days alien cameo? A young Richard Lewis.
2 Bosom Buddies
