Watching the much-hyped Friends reunion now streaming on HBO Max is satisfying in many ways. It's like curling up on the couch in your comfiest clothes and meeting up with a group of your favorite pals. Sure, you've all changed since the last time you saw each other, but it's just great seeing their familiar faces.
Though we've seen David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudr...

These days when a TV show runs eight seasons that's enough cause for celebration, but in the case of the CBS comedy Mom, there are multiple reasons to celebrate the show. Not only did they produce 170 episodes and receive 10 Emmy nominations over the course of the run, but they also did something very rare in television by focusing on a group of women of all ages, led by Allison Janney. It seems so simple yet it's almost unheard of, especially in network TV.
The series finale continued that t...

The highly anticipated return of Christopher Meloni to the Law & Order family was promoted so heavily that it almost felt like we'd seen the episode before it aired. But in case you haven't heard, Meloni's Elliot Stabler is back with the NYPD. The embattled detective returned to the Special Victims Unit in a special Law & Order: ...

When it comes to NBC sitcoms, there's a certain familiarity to them, usually involving talent that viewers know and love. After growing up on Nickelodeon shows All That and Kenan and Kel and seventeen seasons on Saturday Night Live, Kenan Thompson is already a television fixture and that made him an excellent choice to lead a new NBC sitcom. Happily, Thompson has landed in a smartly crafted show that plays to his many talents and natural warmth.
In Kenan, Thompson plays Kenan Williams, the ho...

When you tune in to watch the new HBO Max darkly comedic murder mystery The Flight Attendant, and you should (and you can now, as HBO Max has released the first episode early!), you may be surprised to see Kaley Cuoco playing a role markedly different from Penny on The Big Bang Theory. Cuoco's choice to play Cassie Bowden, the titular flight attendant who travels and parties internationally, is a shrewd and unexpected follow-up to the broad comedy that catapulted her to stardom.

The show's faculty members Glenn Howerton, Paula Pell, Patton Oswalt, Jean Villepique, Lyric Lewis, Mary Sohn and series creator/executive producer Mike O'Brien gave a preview of what's in store at a virtual press conference earlier this summer, setting fans up for a fun new season now that show has moved from NBC to the network's streaming service, Peacock.

One of TV's best-loved father/daughter duos is returning as Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano are set to return to their roles as Tony and Samantha Micelli in a new Who's The Boss? sequel series, according to Deadline. The original version ran eight seasons and produced 196 episodes for ABC from 1984-1992, a timespan that allowed viewers to watch Milano grow up on TV.

When the executive producer and subjects of Deaf U, the new Netflix docuseries about students at Gallaudet University, attended a virtual tour to promote the series, the session was done almost completely in American Sign Language (ASL) but with the help of nimble interpreters, four of the show's subjects and EP Nyle DiMarco fielded questions and talked about telling their stories and showing a wide array of personalities in the Deaf community to prove that Deaf people come from all sorts of ...

Television audiences are saying farewell to two landmark comedies: Schitt's Creek and Modern Family. Both shows demonstrate that the family sitcom is alive and well and they're true comfort viewing, especially in a time when we're all physically distant but still want to feel emotionally connected to humanity.

When a show runs for ten seasons, the thing we'll miss most is the familiarity of characters we love seeing every week. Modern Family leaves us this week with 11 seasons of stories that...

If you’ve ever wondered whether you want to have kids or not, Breeders may not be the best show to watch to help you decide. The show is painfully honest about the constant attention children need and the never-ending well of patience a person needs to have, a test most of us are destined to fail.
The show was created by Martin Freeman, Simon Blackwell and Chris Addison; Addison wrote most of the episodes and co-executive producer Ben Palmer directed the handful of episodes sent for review. F...
