Minority Mindset

During a two-part episode in Season 4, Tim met his father, Tom Bradford (played by James Remar), after 20 years of no contact. It wasn’t a friendly visit; Tim went to arrest his father for a decades-old murder. This encounter, and everything that came with it, started a powerful transformation for Tim, turning him from a cold and distant man into the character viewers have come to adore. The Season 8 episode “Grand Theft Aircraft” hints at an unexpected visitor causing problems for Tim and Lucy, and many believe it could be someone from Tim’s past, like his ex-girlfriend Rachel. However, if the visitor turns out to be Tom Bradford, somehow still alive, it could provide the most compelling and satisfying development in Tim’s story throughout the entire series.

Robbie Amell is the first actor announced for the upcoming reboot, which is scheduled to premiere on Fox during the 2026-2027 season. The first season will consist of twelve episodes and filming is planned to begin in Los Angeles next spring.

In addition to the main series, there was a spinoff called FBI: International that followed a special FBI team solving crimes and fighting terrorism around the world. It first aired in 2021 and lasted for four seasons, but was canceled in May. Fortunately, CBS is developing a new show called CIA, which is set to premiere at the end of February.

This year, the period between nominations and the Oscars felt particularly slow. This might be because the ceremony is happening later than usual, or because the frontrunner for Best Picture, Oppenheimer, hasn’t changed much since September. However, with voters having extra time to consider their choices, it’s possible the race could still take unexpected turns. Many Oscar watchers are now wondering if Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘s impressive number of nominations could signal a late surge for Ryan Coogler’s film. While a high nomination count doesn’t guarantee a win—as we saw with La La Land—it’s hard to ignore a film nominated in every possible category. It suggests it has a real chance of success.

Okay, so Sony’s got a new movie in the works, but honestly, who’s actually making it is still a bit of a mystery. There’s a chance it’s Drew Barrymore’s production company, Flower Films – you might remember they did the Charlie’s Angels movies back in the early 2000s. Drew was, of course, in those films – the first Charlie’s Angels came out in 2000, and then Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle in 2003 – alongside Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu. Good times!

Disney reported a significant increase in Muppet viewership on Disney+. Over just eight days, viewers spent a total of 125 million hours watching Muppet content – that’s a lot of people revisiting classics like The Great Muppet Caper! It makes you wonder how much more popular the Muppets could be if Disney+ added shows like The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show from 1982, or even just a single episode of Muppets Tonight. And releasing the chicken-themed version of the song “Manchild” on Spotify would likely be a big hit.

She explained that her self-worth doesn’t depend on awards or nominations. She sees the whole process as artificial, not a genuine competition. She compared it to creating something months ago and then having someone randomly pick a winner. She found the term ‘snub’ – often used to describe being overlooked – particularly absurd, calling the whole concept ‘insane’ and pointing out it’s a relatively new way of talking about things, even for those actively campaigning for recognition, like Timothée Chalamet and Bradley Cooper.
