Not all actors enjoy watching themselves on-screen — Adam Driver famously walked out of an interview with NPR's Terry Gross when she played a clip of one of his scenes from "Marriage Story," to present the most extreme example. Apparently, Mayim Bialik also hates watching her own performances, and that includes her nine-season run on the hit CBS sitcom "The Big Bang Theory."

Bialik talked to The Metro UK in June 2020 — roughly one year after "The Big Bang Theory" concluded after 12 seasons — about her career and made a surprising admission: she's watched very little of the show that revived her career. "I've never seen most of the episodes," Bialik revealed. "I don't watch myself on television. I've never sat and watched an episode of our show, ever."

Obviously, Bialik isn't being entirely literal here; during the filming process, she ended up watching scenes that featured her. What the actress meant...

Actor-singer Kyla Pratt stars “The Memo,” a film adaptation of the psychological thriller by Minda Harts, which also features music from pioneering female rapper and musician Mc Lyte.

According to the announcement, the film is a first-hand account of the tumultuous journey of a woman navigating the corporate ladder, starring Pratt, who starred in Eddie Murphy’s “Dr. Dolittle” films and multiple television series. Mc Lyte has signed on to score the film and act as the music supervisor.

The short film is the first project from Seed Media, a multimedia company and storytelling platform founded by Valeisha Butterfield, a former top executive with Google and the Recording Academy and previously the national youth vote director for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

The film’s inspiration is explained in the announcement: “Women leaders are leaving their jobs at the most alarming rate in history,” it states, citing Forbes and the...

It's been a few days since the sad news broke that Call Me Kat had been canceled after three seasons on Fox, and now, Mayim Bialik is speaking out.

“It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday….We made a lot of people laugh during Covid in ways that at first seemed impossible," Bialik wrote on Twitter.

"But with this incredible cast — Cheyenne [Jackson], Swoosie [Kurtz], Julian [Gant] and Kyla [Pratt] — and, of course, with the late Leslie Jordan, all things that seemed impossible became possible.”

Bialik went on to speak about what she envisioned happening to the characters had the show snagged a pickup for Season 4.

“Decide the ending you want, but for me, here’s where I think we all end up: Kat and Max live happily ever after, Randi and Carter get married and do the same, and Sheila is forever in everyone’s life bringing joy and wisdom,...

The hits just don't stop coming for television. Fox has canceled Mayim Bialik's sitcom "Call Me Kat" after three seasons, according to TVLine. The cancellation came less than 24 hours after the show's last original episode aired, harshening the blow.

A rep from Fox told the outlet in a statement:

"We are very proud of 'Call Me Kat.' But, unfortunately, the audience response to it was not as strong as we had hoped. We are thankful for our partnership with Warner Bros. Television, That's Wonderful Productions, Sad Clown Productions, BBC Studios, Mayim Bialik, Jim Parsons and the entire cast and crew for their work and dedication to 'Call Me Kat.'"

The series premiered in January 2021, and was inspired by-slash-loosely based on the established British comedy "Miranda." Miranda Hart, who starred in the original series, was one of the show's executive producers alongside actor Jim Parsons, whom...

Fox has just two live-action comedies to air during the fall season -- Call Me Kat and Welcome to Flatch. Both of them struggled in the ratings last year but were renewed, likely for economic reasons that extend beyond ratings and ad revenue. Since Call Me Kat has made it to a third season, is it sure to be renewed for a fourth year or, is there still a chance that it could still be cancelled? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.

Kat will surely get into more trouble in the third season of Fox's Call Me Kat TV show.

“Call Me Kat” has been canceled after three seasons at Fox, Variety has learned.

“We are very proud of ‘Call Me Kat.’ But, unfortunately, the audience response to it was not as strong as we had hoped,” a Fox spokesperson said in a statement. “We are thankful for our partnership with Warner Bros. Television, That’s Wonderful Productions, Sad Clown Productions, BBC Studios, Mayim Bialik, Jim Parsons and the entire cast and crew for their work and dedication to ‘Call Me Kat.'”

The multi-cam comedy was a high-profile get for Fox back in 2019, with the network giving the show a series commitment in a highly-competitive situation before formally ordering it to series in May 2020. Both series star Mayim Bialik and executive producer Jim Parsons were coming fresh off of the 12th and final season of the hit CBS multi-cam “The Big Bang Theory,” with “Call Me Kat” representing their first broadcast project after that show.

“Call Me Kat” has been canceled at Fox. The news came Friday, just one day after the Mayim Bialik-starring series aired its Season 3 finale.

“We are very proud of ‘Call Me Kat.’ But, unfortunately, the audience response to it was not as strong as we had hoped,” Fox said in a statement. “We are thankful for our partnership with Warner Bros.

Fox is making its renewal and pick up decisions.

The network has canceled comedy series Call Me Kat after three seasons. The show has seen dwindling ratings, particularly in its third season.

On the comedy side, Fox still has Animal Control, which is expected to receive a second season. However, the future of Welcome To Flatch, which is in its second season, is unclear.

Call Me Kat has been paired with Animal Control and the two shows are not considered particularly compatible. Welcome To Flatch comes at an attractive price point, but the cancelation of Call Me Kat is not expected to influence Fox’s decision whether to bring it back for a third season. Finding more comedies is a priority for new head of comedy Cheryl Dolins.

Call Me Kat stars Bialik as a woman who leaves her job as a college professor to open a cat cafe. The series is based on the BBC comedy Miranda, starring and created by Miranda Hart.

Call Me Kat is adding another big name to its guest-starring roster this week.

Thursday's new episode promises to be another comical episode, and we have an exclusive first look.

Margaret Cho appears as Val, a local cat lover preparing to compete in the Pretty Kitty Cat show.

Her first meeting with Kat is anything but sweet when Val strongly implies that Kat has no chance in the competition with her cat.

"To take her mind off their breakup and Max and Zoey's (guest star Margie Mays) new successful song, Kat attends a cat show with Sheila and Randi," Fox teases of the storyline.

"Kat's competitive side is brought to life, when local cat lover Val (guest star Margaret Cho) thinks Kat and her rescue cat have no chance of bringing home a trophy."

It's a comical scene showcasing Val's tenacity to win, but Kat is not fond of being counted out.

With the variety of dilemmas they cover, it was bound to happen. With Fantasy Island Season 2 Episode 11, the showrunners and writers tap into my Achilles' Heel for trauma, children of divorce who turn into pleasers out of fear of abandonment.

Yeah, I legit cried when Arthur and Melanie owned their suckiness because only on Fantasy Island do we get to see parents turn their crappy parenting around. But I could be jaded about this sort of thing.

Meanwhile, Ruby's response to learning about Elena's interference with Isla is such an authentic reaction I could kiss the writer that wrote those scenes. Talk about respecting the character.

While some might argue that Elena's actions echo that of an overprotective parent, a stronger parallel can be drawn between our Ms. Roarke and the Island's newest guest, the jilted and bereft Laura Turner.

It's not without irony that Jessy Schram, a pillar of the Hallmark Movie Channel,...

Call Me Kat is introducing an intense competition for the April 27 episode, “Call Me Pretty Kitty,” in which Margaret Cho guest stars.

In sneak peek photos, above, and below, viewers are getting a taste of what they can expect from the installment which sees Kat (Mayim Bialik) attempting to take her breakup with Max (Cheyenne Jackson) off her mind by attending a cat show with Sheila (Swoosie Kurtz) and Randi (Kyla Pratt). It’s at this cat show that Kat encounters Val.
