One of television’s funniest stars has died. Bob Newhart, who was beloved for his central roles on two long-running and popular sitcoms, passed away on Thursday. He was 94 years old. His publicist told The Hollywood Reporter that Newhart “died at his Los Angeles home after a series of short illnesses.” Newhart was something of a late bloomer in show business. Born in 1929, he initially pursued a series of less glamorous jobs. After serving in the Korean War, he got a gig as an accountant, then as a copywriter in the advertising world. To entertain himself when he wasn’t working, he and a frien...

While we still wait to find out whether the recent Dune film franchise will get a third movie, we at least have a TV show to look forward. The show, Dune: Prophecy, is a prequel set thousands of years before the events of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune and Dune: Part Two (both adapted from the original Frank Herbert Dune novel.) It follows the rise of the Bene Gesserit, the religious sisterhood who in the Dune films advise the emperor of the universe, and are responsible for pushing the universe in the direction it perceives as most advantageous to the future of humanity (at least as they see it). Be...

The guards, with their bright red uniforms and large fuzzy hats are famous for their rigid discipline and their refusal to move or laugh — which is why visitors to the U.K. have so much fun torturing them. Most of those visitors or amateur comedians, but what happens when a professional tries it. Enter The Simpsonsstar Hank Azaria, who provides the voices of characters ranging from Moe the Bartender to Chief Wiggum to Duffman. ...

Two years ago, I wrote that Season 6 of Cobra Kai should be its farewell. I also noted that the show “hasn’t worn out its welcome — yet” while conceding that Season 5 was the weakest chapter of The Karate KidTV saga to date. Now that Cobra Kai Season 6 is streaming on Netflix — or at least, the first of three five-episode chunks of Season 6 is available — I’m pretty much ready to remove the yet from that previous sentence. It’s time for Cobra Kai to hang up its blue-and-white headband once and for all. To be clear, this show still had an improbably successful run. A Karate Kid television seque...

The following post contains spoilers for the season finale of The Acolyte. Yet another long-discussed Star Wars character had made his long-awaited live-action debut. Famed Sith Lord Darth Plagueis makes a very brief cameo in one scene of the season finale of The Acolyte. Fans have been speculating about how various Acolyte characters could be connected to Plagueis all season. (Some theories even emphasized whether Plagueis was some of the characters in disguise.) Instead, he appeared in the shadows of a cave on Qimir’s mystery planet, watching Qimir (who is presumably his pupil, although that...
