Looking back, it was inevitable they’d open with “Live from London, it’s Saturday night!” – there wasn’t much else they could do. Still, I was surprised when I heard it. The first episode of SNL U.K. premiered live from London on March 21st, and it seems even this version couldn’t avoid a Trump-themed cold open. … Read more

The new season of Scrubs, created by Bill Lawrence, picks up where the original series left off.

Watching The Langoliers is a great way to experience King’s often-overlooked story all at once.
