Break open the blood casks and prepare to shatter the seals: The prophesied hour of darkness if finally upon us, as TVLine reports that television’s two Sheldons—Young, and Regular-Sized—are finally preparing to meet. The site reports that Iain Armitage—who plays The Sheldon Of Christmas Past on CBS’s Big Bang Theory …

Yesterday, one of the many guys who is famous for dying on Game Of Thrones joined the cast of Disney+’s The Mandalorian, with Pedro Pascal set to play the “lead” in the streaming series—though we don’t know if that means he’s the eponymous non-Boba Fett that we’ve seen in the teaser image. Now, we know at least one…

We can now add “a timely return for Silicon Valley” to semi-reluctant hitman Barry Berkman’s list of victims; per TVLine, the critically beloved HBO actor-murder comedy has just inadvertently caused an apparent year-long delay for the network’s long-running techbro comedy series. It all comes down to the time and…

When asked to describe a spooky haunted house, the homes belonging to the Cryptkeeper, the Munsters, and the Addams Family, Vincent Price’s house from The House On Haunted Hill (1959), or more recently, the mansion from Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting Of Hill House come to mind. But how did these once lavish homes become…

As our November preview has already amply demonstrated, the late fall still has several scintillating dramas in store, not least of which is Park Chan-wook’s adaptation of John le Carré’s The Little Drummer Girl. Florence Pugh, the breakout star of Lady Macbeth, stars as Charlie, an English actress with leftist…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Wednesday, November 14. All times are Eastern.

Jeopardy! is running its annual Teen Tournament right now, a.k.a. the yearly chance for America’s glut of trivia-obsessed teens to fight it out for the chance to be named King or Queen of the Nerds. Besides serving as a vital drafting tool for America’s top bullies as they look for new talent to “scout,” the Teen…

After years of battling with late-night rival Jimmy Fallon for the fabled “demo”—i.e., adult TV viewers beneath the age of 50, whose life-giving attention is succor and solace for advertisers everywhere—Stephen Colbert finally rode that ol’ Blue Wave to victory this week. Vulture reports that, for the first time in…

In the ancient, forgotten year of 2016, we reported that occasional book-writer George R.R. Martin had declared that the Wild Cards book series he edits with Melinda M. Snodgrass would be coming to TV at some point in the distant future. Well, that distant future has nearly arrived, because The Hollywood Reporter says…

It still seems unusual for Netflix to cancel its original shows, since it picks up hundreds of new shows for every Luke Cage or American Vandal that it cancels, but it’s even more unusual for a show to get canceled almost immediately after the premiere of its first season. Unfortunately for fans of Tony Danza and Josh…

Say what you like about 2018: The planet’s on fire, and the politics are garbage, but at least science is finding ever new ways for Jimmy Fallon to insert his voice into our homes. Per Mashable, the human beige paint sample/Tonight Show host is teaming up with Amazon’s digital assistant Alexa this week, providing some…

Trumpy Bear—a stuffed bear decked out in the American president’s trademark too-long tie and floppy, spoiled mayonnaise-colored hair—is impossible to understand. Though we assumed that it had retired to the den of a shipping warehouse forevermore after first appearing in a disorienting commercial last year, the plushy…

One year and three months. That’s how long it’s been since Game Of Thrones’ penultimate season ended. That’s how long it’s been since—spoiler alert if you somehow aren’t caught up on season seven, and if not, what the hell have you been doing?—The Night King rode atop a blue-eyed Viserion shooting crazy blue flames as…

DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow has become one of The CW’s—nay, television’s—most consistently entertaining series. It’s also one of the most self-referential (example: An earlier episode this season included reference to an office’s Taco Monday, leading one character to say they “dare to defy.”) But it didn’t start that…

I’ve seen enough horror movie trailers to know this won’t end well.

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, November 13. All times are Eastern.

David Spade hasn’t had an objectively great comedy role in a long time, but that’s all about to change—in theory—thanks to HBO, Diablo Cody, and Jason Reitman. According to The Wrap, Spade is set to star in a new HBO comedy series from Cody and Reitman (the team behind Juno, Young Adult, and Tully) about a washed-up,…

According to Variety, Sharp Objects creator Marti Noxon has signed a multi-year deal to develop new programming exclusively for Netflix, meaning the streaming service has stolen yet another high-profile content-creator from the dark misery of—shudder—traditional TV. In a comment that was intended to be jokier than it…

These days, Trent Reznor seems to do way more work for film and TV soundtracks than he does making industrial rock music with Nine Inch Nails, and while he does always return to his first love, Reznor told Variety in a recent interview that he has thought about putting Nine Inch Nails to rest. He was talking about the…
