Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, October 21. All times are Eastern.

Selma Blair has been a powerful presence in any number of film and TV projects over the years, from her early days in movies like Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde, to more recent projects like the bonkers “parents try to kill their kids” horror film Mom And Dad. Today, while discussing her affection for her…

Danny Leiner has died. The director of two of the best-known buddy stoner comedies in recent memory—as well as episodes of many of the most critically beloved TV comedies of the last 20 years—Leiner was 57. His credits include Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle, Dude Where’s My Car?, Arrested Development, The Office, …

It might be time to accept that Turner Broadcasting’s Super Deluxe brand—home to a lot of very strange short-form and web content over the years—might just be sort of generally cursed. The comedy shingle has died once before, when it got absorbed by the wider Adult Swim organization back in 2008, and now, wouldn’t you…

The hot new meme has been found and it’s about two of the internet’s very favorite things: nostalgia and The Simpsons. By combining memories of the heady days of pre-BitTorrent file sharing and classic scenes from the cartoon series, mad image tinkerers have brewed up a potent mix designed to take the online world by…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, October 19 and Saturday, October 20. All times are Eastern.

Once upon a time—back before the show’s dedication to documenting minor human evils was quite so widely known—fans trying to describe It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia to other people were often forced to resort to comparisons to that last great sitcom about mostly awful semi-humans living largely meaningless lives: …

In addition to being one of the best shows on TV, The Good Place is a dense knot of running jokes, visual humor, references to dense philosophy tomes, and breadcrumbs for later episodes. In order to help you keep it all straight, The A.V. Club will be annotating the show’s third season. Catch something that we didn’t?…

Everybody loves Mark Ruffalo, except maybe Edward Norton (since Ruffalo swooped in and took what must be a pretty lucrative superhero gig from him), and so now HBO is getting ready to double the amount of Ruffalo that we normally get by casting him as a pair of feuding twins in a new limited series. According to The…

After years as a beloved stand-up, unsettling Saturday morning cartoon character, and occasional game show host, Louie Anderson is finally getting a little respect in the entertainment business. A lot of that has to do with his co-starring role on FX’s weirdly affecting clown dramedy Baskets, where Anderson commits so…

Forget all of the vague comments about finality, we now have some real details about what’s going to happen in one beloved Game Of Thrones character’s final scene—though the details are, naturally, pretty vague. This is courtesy of The Guardian, which sat down with Maisie Williams to talk about her new role in a…

This week, FX’s American Horror Story: Apocalypse finally (finally) returned to Murder House, the setting of the show’s solid first season, and American Horror Story staple Sarah Paulson made her directorial debut with the landmark episode. Variety talked to Paulson about what it was like to direct for the series, and…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, October 18. All times are Eastern.

It’s been a likely possibility for a while now that Orange Is The New Black’s sentence might almost be up; the Netflix series is coming to the end of its current three-season order, and ended last year’s run—its sixth—by finally seeing Piper Chapman get released from jail to become the deeply privileged decorative …

In what seems a little like the TV equivalent of releasing an album of “new” music shortly after a musician’s death, ABC has begun developing a pilot for an NYPD Blue sequel series just over six months after the death of NYPD Blue co-creator Steven Bochco. This comes from Variety, which says the new show will revolve…

According to Deadline, HBO has canceled animated series Animals, bringing its three-year run to an end. The series told short little vignettes about the wacky/dark inner lives of wacky/dark animals living in New York, like mice and turtles, all of whom were either voiced by creators Phil Matarese and Mike Luciano (who…

Catching the zeitgeist just as aggressively as the days when it first introduced the world to concepts like “roommates” and “people acting like assholes for attention on TV,” MTV has announced that its long-running reality series The Real World is making the move to Facebook video, that most reliable and profitable of…

There are few gigs in modern TV more fraught with the potential to out yourself as a massive asshole than hosting Saturday Night Live. Pretty much every factor—the rush, the pressure, the presence of the live camera—is almost guaranteed to bring out the worst in people, whether it’s deciding to bust out their “funny”…

Get ready for a real taste of poo-flavored frozen yogurt: As reported by Pitchfork, Comedy Central has confirmed that Nathan For You won’t be returning for a fifth season. As a little bit of silver lining, it sounds like the decision to stop the show came from creator and host Nathan Fielder, not the soulless Viacom…
