2004 was a notable year for television viewers. “Friends” wrapped up its 10-year run; Ken Jennings had his first winning streak on “Jeopardy!”; Illinois senator Barack Obama made a splash with a keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention; new series “Lost” and “Desperate Housewives” became obsessions. And the news was constantly filled with stories from the Iraq war.
Then, on Oct. 30, a network known as the Gospel Music Channel was born. “I remember thinking ‘Wow, it’s the perfect time to have something positive and uplifting and there was probably nothing more hopeful than gospel music,” says Charles “Charley” Humbard, the founder and CEO of Up Entertainment.
Humbard is aware that a faith-based music channel might not have been the obvious choice for a new network, but he saw indicators that told him they were on the right path. “The landscape was really good at the time,” he says.

Here’s how Eva Longoria saved the John Wick franchise (Photo Credit – Facebook)
The John Wick franchise is the powerhouse of the action genre, which has nearly become the light of the day. What started as a simple revenge tale in 2014 evolved into a sprawling universe with sequels, spin-offs, and a global fanbase. Keanu Reeves’ titular character raised the movie’s stakes, delivering jaw-dropping stunts and a story packed with loyalty and vengeance. Yet, this now-iconic series almost didn’t happen as it was saved 24 hours before the project could have been dropped.
Why Was John Wick’s Film Almost Dropped?
In a recent interview with Business Insider, the director of the John Wick franchise, Chad Stahelsk, and co-producer David Leitch, revealed how John Wick almost didn’t happen. Stahelski shared that the movie nearly fell apart just before filming, losing its financing a week before production wrapped up its final preparations.

Over the last ten years, the John Wick franchise has spawned sequels, spinoffs, TV shows, and video games, so it’s hard to imagine that the first movie almost didn’t happen. While speaking to Business Insider, John Wick directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch revealed that the project had lost almost $6 million less than a week before production was set to begin. Thankfully, John Wick found an unlikely saviour in none other than Eva Longoria.
“We were less than a week out and we lost almost $6 million on a gap financing,” Stahelski said. “We were financing independently to get the bond, but one of the investors couldn’t raise the money in time.” Stahelski, Leitch, and Keanu Reeves had each put their own money into John Wick, with producer Basil Iwanyk maxing out multiple personal credit cards, but they still came up short. CAA was helping put the financing together and,...

“Monster” Season 3 has added Laurie Metcalf, Tom Hollander, and Olivia Williams to its cast, Variety has learned exclusively.
The trio join previously announced cast member Charlie Hunnam, who will star as Ed Gein in the next season of the Netflix anthology series. According to sources, Metcalf will play Gein’s mother, Augusta, while Hollander will play Alfred Hitchcock and Williams will play Alma Reville, Hitchcock’s wife.
Given that Gein served as one of the inspirations for Norman Bates and Hitchcock’s film “Psycho,” it would appear Season 3 of the hit Netflix anthology will delve into how Gein’s crimes influenced the film and the novel upon which the film was based.
Gein became infamous in the 1950s when authorities discovered that he not only had killed multiple people, but had dug up graves from a cemetery near his home and fashioned all manner of household items and clothing from human remains.

Source Image: Amazon It was 20 years ago that one of the new millennium’s most addictive nighttime soaps, Desperate Housewives, premiered. It was often outrageously campy — as creator Marc Cherry intended it to be — but it also sustained its dramatic storylines over the course of eight seasons and 180 episodes, earning 38 Emmy Award nominations along the way. During the show’s run, Cherry served as the show’s producer and wrote several episodes. And while the show featured a large ensemble cast of memorable characters, Over the years we have spoken to and he said his favorites were Gabrielle and Carlos Solis, played by Eva Longoria and Ricardo Chavira, simply because they were the ones most capable of taking things over the top in terms of the show’s comedy.

Disney’s long-expected move to fold ABC Signature into 20th Television brings to an end the media conglom’s in-house TV studio, which started off as Touchstone Television a decade before Disney bought ABC, subsequently being renamed ABC Studios and more recently ABC Signature.
Launched in 1985, Touchstone TV’s first major hit was Golden Girls, which ran on NBC for seven seasons. Other successful series from that era include Blossom, also for NBC, and Home Improvement, Ellen and Boy Meets World for ABC.
In the first years after ABC became part of Disney, Touchstone Television continued to sell to all networks — which is how 20th Television operated for its entire run at Fox — with shows such as Felicity and Popular for the WB and The PJs for Fox/WB.
The studio gradually shifted its attention to its own network, supplying it with series such as Once And Again, My Wife And Kids,...

Although his debut could be derailed by a potential preemption later this week, “As The World Turns” alum Van Hansis (ex-Luke Snyder) is returning to daytime television when he takes over the role of Lucas Jones on ABC’s “General Hospital,” last played by Ryan Carnes.
According to TV Insider, which first reported the news, Hansis is set to hit Port Charles on the Friday, October 4 episode, albeit contingent on whether or not ABC’s coverage of the Major League Baseball Wild Card Series causes a last-minute preemption of the drama series on Thursday, October 3.
While storyline details have not been announced, it looks like Lucas is back in town just in time for the awakening of his cousin, Lulu (now played by Alexa Havins), who requires a liver transplant.

The phenomenal success of Tracker Season 1 was rewarded with the show’s renewal for a highly anticipated second season.
According to CBS, Tracker was the most watched new series since the 2004-05 season of Desperate Housewives.
Now that Colter Shaw and his Airstream are gearing up for their sophomore round of adventures, it’s the perfect time to suggest that the series shake up the formula that has served it so well — before it gets stuck.
(Michael Courtney/CBS)
The immediate and overwhelming success of Tracker’s first season was a pleasant surprise for its network and fans.
That success was built on many time-tested TV tropes, even before someone had the brilliant idea to feature Justin Hartley sans shirt in several (but not nearly enough!) episodes.
CBS has a reputation for conventional, long-running fare (despite its recent decision to cancel the much-beloved Blue Bloods).

Coming off her appearance on the final night of the Democratic National Convention last month, the Hyphenate Media Group co-founder Eva Longoria says she is “hopeful” that Kamala Harris will beat Donald Trump in the election.
“Very hopeful, very hopeful, Longoria said onstage Friday at the Ft Business of Entertainment Summit. “Yeah, I’m also a manifester, so I have to say that as well,” the longtime activist and Democrat added of the Vice President’s electoral battle against the former president. “She will be president. Yeah, I cannot wait to say Madam President, for sure.”
For all her optimism, Longoria tempered her remarks today about the race with the reality of hard numbers – and a very precise throwback shiv to the GOP.

The audience definitely wanted more of Breaking Bad, but Bryan Cranston thinks it’s better not to stretch the story too long just to make another season and milk the franchise’s popularity. Created by Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad ran for five seasons, and it was a major hit among fans.

More often than not, some television shows extend way beyond the necessary number of seasons to tell a story as creators believe there is still a demand just because it peaked at one point, but trying to prolong a franchise’s life when it’s supposed to be over may do it more harm than good.
Bryan Cranston Comments On Breaking Bad Concluding With Just Five Seasons
Bryan Cranston admitted he’s cool with Breaking Bad wrapping up after five installments. He played Walter White in the show, a chemistry teacher turned drug dealer.

I know it doesn’t feel like 2004 was 20 years ago, but it was, which means many great TV shows just turned 20 years old.
Seriously, 2004 is a sneaky good year for new TV premieres. Most of the titles on this list of good TV shows turning 20 years old in 2024 were broadcast hits. The cable networks had a decent market share in the early 2000s, but we’re still a decade before the streaming industry changed the TV game.
At this point in TV history, we’re still seven years before the Game of Thrones premiere. Remember that, please!
Let’s get the list started with the best show of 2004!

The 1980s are often viewed as a pop cultural wasteland: a post-disco, style-over-substance hellscape where music videos turned vacuous bands and singers into chart-topping titans, blockbuster-chasing executives drained films of personality and artistic merit, and television pandered to a benumbed viewership with hacky sitcoms, formula dramas, and risible nighttime soaps. This was only half-true.
There was a good bit of dreck polluting the multiplexes and the airwaves throughout the eight-year Reagan era (and the Bush I hangover), but you'd have to be a killjoy to have lived through that time and turned up your nose at the bevy of brilliant artists who were working at their absolute peak.

Blair Underwood is detailing why he opted to not join “Sex and the City” three seasons before his iconic turn as Dr. Robert Leeds.

Samantha Jones is staying in London according to actress Kim Cattrall.
The “Sex and the City” alum tweeted that she will not reprise her role for Season 3 of revival series “And Just Like That.” Cattrall briefly appeared in the Season 2 finale in a scene filmed separate from the core cast.
Life & Style reported that Cattrall was set to be back for Season 3, with a source telling the outlet that Cattrall would again film away from the rest of the cast. The publication said HBO was “bending over backwards to pay her an absolute fortune, and it’s all on her terms because she’s so central to the franchise.”

The “Sex and the City” alum tweeted that she will not reprise her role for Season 3 of revival series “And Just Like That.” Cattrall briefly appeared in the Season 2 finale in a scene filmed separate from the core cast.
Life & Style reported that Cattrall was set to be back for Season 3, with a source telling the outlet that Cattrall would again film away from the rest of the cast.
