While discussing his new series, Dust Bunny, the creator recently told The Mary Sue that fans of a truly unique TV show might finally get a satisfying ending after the original series ended poorly in 2009. He explained:
Certain comedy pairings are simply magic. Think Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy, or Andre Braugher with Andy Samberg – they consistently deliver hilarious results. The same is true for dynamic duos like Susie Essman and Larry David, or Ty Burrell seeking approval from Ed O’Neill. These are some of the most brilliantly matched, written, and performed comedic pairings ever seen on sitcom television.
Luke Macfarlane, known for his many Hallmark movies, is joining the cast of the ABC sitcom Shifting Gears as Sam Parker, as reported by Deadline. Although this is Macfarlane’s first appearance on the show, Sam has been established as the son of Tim Allen’s character, Matt, and the brother of Kat Dennings’ Riley. Sam is a Navy veteran and will appear as a guest star later this season. While there’s no specific date yet, it’s likely he won’t arrive until after the Christmas episode, following the show’s winter break.
Ever since the first rumors started, excitement about the trailer has been building. The latest information suggested it was being reviewed by rating boards around the world and was likely to be about 90 seconds long when released.
The 1990s were a fascinating time for film. It was a decade of huge change, as digital technology and independent filmmakers revolutionized how stories were told on screen worldwide. Sadly, many of the decade’s best films – even those that have stood the test of time – were overshadowed by big-budget marketing and changing preferences of moviegoers.
Since its release on December 1st, Troll 2 has become a worldwide success on Netflix, currently ranking as the most popular film in a language other than English. As interest in the sequel grows – particularly during the week of December 1st to 7th, 2025 – the original Troll 2 movie is also seeing a boost in popularity on the streaming platform.
Marcus started the season suspended after being caught drinking while working. He defended his actions to his brother, Aaron, saying everyone does it, but that’s clearly not true – many jobs require sobriety, like those in healthcare, transportation, education, or dealing with finances. His friend Shayne doesn’t drink on the job, mostly because he doesn’t seem to have a job. While Andy Cohen might have a drink at the end of a TV reunion, it’s definitely not how he starts. Another cast member, Venus, pointed out that Marcus’s drinking seems less like a common habit and more like a sign of a larger problem.
Viewers need to quickly understand why a character is feeling a certain way, because that consistency makes the story and its humor feel genuine. Sitcoms often rely on having characters who represent both ends of the spectrum: some are relatable and grounded in realistic emotions and struggles, while others are exaggerated and comical for laughs. This contrast is key to a successful show.
Tahar Rahim, the French actor who played Ezekiel Sims in a recent Spider-Man film, is aware of the fan reaction to his character, but he’s choosing not to engage with it directly. In a new interview with Variety, Rahim said he’s heard a lot about how people responded, even though he’s avoided reading or watching it himself.
Just as I was praising the group for having a smooth trip, things immediately derailed at dinner. Heather started playfully teasing Lisa about a new watch, and it quickly became clear I was missing some context. It turned out Heather was referencing a disagreement that happened during their layover, and I was shocked production hadn’t anticipated this. These women really shouldn’t be left unsupervised without cameras rolling! In a private interview, Heather explained that Lisa and Angie had argued during the layover because Lisa thought Angie had copied her style with a Cartier watch. Apparently, after seeing the Cartier store during their layover, Heather decided to buy a watch for herself and one for Whitney as a joke.
