Jim Valentino, a co-founder and former publisher of Image Comics, shared on Rob Liefeld’s Robservations podcast the initial titles Robert Kirkman proposed for The Walking Dead.

Shaun Cassidy and Robert Tappert executive produced the short-lived CBS series, American Gothic. Though it only lasted one season, the show was remarkably innovative for the 1990s, featuring a complex, unconventional lead character. American Gothic‘s willingness to experiment with horror has heavily influenced many popular modern TV shows.

In a speech on Tuesday night, President Trump recognized the U.S. men’s hockey team, calling them “a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud.” Their recent gold medal win at the 2026 Winter Olympics was the first for the U.S. since 1980. Trump presented the moment as a celebration of national pride, emphasizing that the feeling was widely shared among Americans, rather than focusing on himself.

This season of Bridgerton is the strongest yet, largely thanks to the compelling performance of its lead actress. She plays Sophie Baek, a kind-hearted housemaid with a hidden past, who captures the attention of one of the Bridgerton brothers. Unlike previous heroines, Sophie doesn’t come from the upper class, which brings a fresh dynamic to the show. While Benedict Bridgerton struggles with unrequited love, Sophie often lacks the power to express her own feelings due to her difficult circumstances – she’s reliant on her employers, mistreated by her stepmother, and faces threats from powerful men. The actress brilliantly conveys Sophie’s love, longing, and frustration through subtle expressions, making their romance believable despite the power imbalance. Her storyline isn’t focused on simply finding a husband; she deals with genuine, serious problems and maintains a strong sense of independence. When Benedict awkwardly proposes a scandalous arrangement, Sophie doesn’t overreact, because she understands his privileged background and isn’t expecting anything more.
