Unlike most DC characters who began as comic book creations, Harley Quinn first appeared in the 1992 animated episode of Batman, “Joker’s Favor.” Originally meant for just one appearance as a contrast to the Joker, she quickly became popular with both the show’s creators and viewers, leading to her becoming a regular character. Two years later, her backstory was explored in the comic book *The Batman Adventures: Mad Love*, which revealed she was once Harleen Quinzel, a psychologist who fell in love with the Joker while interning at Arkham Asylum. After that, she became an increasingly important character within the broader DC universe.

None of the *Law & Order* shows received any nominations for the 2025 Primetime Emmys. However, Mariska Hargitay, who stars in *SVU*, is the only lead actor from the franchise to have won an Emmy, receiving the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2006. That same year, Christopher Meloni, then a co-lead on *SVU*, was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series but lost to Kiefer Sutherland for *24*.

During the first season of *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*, Jen stated she was a distant relative of the actor from *The Accountant*, due to a shared last name within their families. However, once the show became popular, online viewers discovered no actual connection in their family histories. In the next season, Jen’s husband, Zac, said his family was just joking about the connection, but Jen felt they were being serious and hadn’t meant it as a joke.

I recently spoke with the cast of *Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale* and learned about a fun game they used to play with Maggie Smith while she was still on set. Called ‘Wink Murder,’ Kevin Doyle and Allen Leech shared that they actually played the game even while filming scenes throughout the show’s many seasons.
