8 Comedy Shows To Watch If You Are A Young Sheldon Fan (Photo Credit – IMDb)

Though several TV series have featured intelligent children, not many have attained the same caliber as Young Sheldon. The show, which debuted in 2017 on CBS, was a prequel to the hugely successful sitcom The Big Bang Theory, focusing on the early years of Sheldon Cooper. It gave fans an explanation for why Sheldon evolved into the character he would play on Tbbt while also battling to maintain his continuity.

When Young Sheldon came to a close, it certainly left a void. However, there are still a lot of family comedy shows that have the same happy-go-lucky atmosphere.

The Dancing with the Stars Season 34 cast is now known, and it seems that some of the rumored leaked names were incorrect. Notably, Lauren Jauregai appears in the show, and she wasn’t on the rumored list of contestants.

However, Danielle Fishel, the actress known for Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World, was. This week, she revealed how she kept her participation a secret until the rumored cast was leaked.

Keeping The Secret

The story about keeping the secret on being cast on ABC’s celebrity dance competition came from Danielle on her Pod Meets World podcast on September 3. The podcast promised she’d dish about her “upcoming ballroom debut.

The Office (US version) is hands down one of the greatest comedic sitcoms of all time. It’s a show that I have watched well over a dozen times and has become a staple of comfort in the Valero household. In modern society, we have seen shows like Sex & the City, Full House, and Roseanne all on the list of shows that have been brought back with a fresh version of the series. While some have found success, others, like this year’s Suits reboot, Suits LA, were Doa. Enter Greg Daniels and Peacock trying to recapture the magic that Michael Scott provided with a spinoff starring Domhnall Gleeson,...

The Asian Film Awards Academy (Afaa) continues to celebrate the spirit of “Together We Dare”, driving inspiring cinematic exchanges through two vibrant highlights: the Hong Kong Film Gala Presentation — Bangkok and Asian Cinerama: Growing Light, both meeting enthusiastic audiences with masterclasses, screenings, and engaging conversations.

John Stamos is sharing an update on his friend and co-star Dave Coulier‘s health.

65-year-old Dave was diagnosed with stage 3 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in November 2024. In March, Dave confirmed that a biopsy showed that he was cancer-free five months after his initial diagnosis.

While speaking to People on Monday (August 18), John shared an update on how Dave is doing now.

“I go see him. He’s doing great,” John said of his friend and former Full House co-star. “We have a couple shows we’re doing together. We’re going to Japan in a couple weeks to do little Comic Con thing, which would be good.

Dave Ketchum, who played the exasperated, always-hidden Agent 13 on the beloved 1960s comedy Get Smart, has died. He was 97.

Our sister publication THR reported that Ketchum died August 10, but the family did not provide details.

Born on February 4, 1928, Ketchum toured with Uso and had a local radio show in California before getting his acting start in the early 1960s with guest roles on such TV series as The Jim Backus Show, Angel and The Real McCoys. He then landed a series-regular role on I’m Dickens — He’s Fenster, an ABC sitcom starring Marty Ingels and John Astin. It lasted one season in 1962-63.

Around that time, Ketchum released a comedy album titled The Long Playing Tongue of Dave Ketchum. Despite arriving during the Golden Age of recorded comedy, it failed to chart.

Ketchum continued to do TV guest stints before being cast to lead Camp Runamuck. He played...

David Ketchum, the goofy comic actor and prolific TV writer best known for squeezing into such stuffy spaces as vending machines, trash cans and airport lockers as Agent 13 on the fabled sitcom Get Smart, has died. He was 97.

Ketchum died Aug. 10 in a care facility in Thousand Oaks, California, his daughter Nicole Madden told The Hollywood Reporter.

Ketchum also played carpenter Mel Warshaw opposite John Astin and Marty Ingalls on the 1962-63 ABC sitcom I’m Dickens, He’s Fenster and starred as Counselor Spiffy on the 1965-66 NBC comedy Camp Runamuck.

In notable guest-star turns, he portrayed salesmen selling real estate and petroleum on The Andy Griffith Show in 1967 and was a member of a divorce club that offers great vacation rates on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1970.

Said fellow Camp Runamuck actor Dave Madden in Robert Pegg’s 2015 book, Comical Co-Stars of Television: “Dave was a naturally funny guy.

It's easy to look at Keanu Reeves' long career and surmise that the man has been on top for decades. As the star of the "John Wick" films, he cemented his standing as one of the all-time greats of Hollywood and has a long list of equally great movies on his résumé dating all the way back to the 1980s. But like any actor, Reeves has experienced ups and downs, and some of the downs have been pretty abject.

Even prior to his first appearance as the titular assassin in 2014's "John Wick," Reeves was at a real nadir career-wise. His 2010 rom-com "Henry's Crime" failed at the box office, after which Reeves took a short break from acting to produce a documentary before starring in the independent drama "Generation Um..." in 2012. That film currently bears a 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn't always the best guide, but in the case of "Generation Um.

“Full House” creator Jeff Franklin has partnered with creative strategist Emily Jordan to launch a new media and production studio, Xoxo Ventures.

Founded by Franklin and Jordan, the new company, announced Thursday, acts as both a creative incubator and strategic advisor, hoping to bridge platforms, brands and talent. Xoxo Ventures hopes to develop and execute immersive, culture-defining entertainment experiences.

As part of the launch, Xoxo Ventures supported Tomorrowland’s return to the U.S. after ten years, which resulted in an immersive experience called Unity at the Sphere in Las Vegas set to open on Labor Day weekend.

“Emily and I created Xoxo Ventures to imagine outside the expected — to develop original concepts where technology, storytelling and talent meet,” Franklin said in a statement. “We’re focused on building the next era of live and immersive entertainment.”

“Xoxo is about creating cultural moments that feel both unexpected and unforgettable,” Jordan said.

TV reboots are a natural part of the industry, and they are unlikely to ever fully go away. Classic shows that aired in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s have all cemented a place in Hollywood history, and they continue to influence productions today. Naturally, asstudios search for proven hits, they will look to reboot those classic shows that still have audiences today.

Recent years have seen several '80s shows earn reboots and revivals in the modern day. MacGyver, for instance, first premiered in 1985 and eventually earned a five-season reboot in 2015. Magnum, P.I. premiered in 1980 and was rebooted in 2018 for another five-season run.

Even animated shows have been brought back to life, including DuckTales, ThunderCats, and Voltron. Fuller House came back to life as a full revival of Full House, and The Conners and Roseanne served as sequels to 1988's Roseanne. With revivals still seeing success today, oneunderrated...

As an expert in interior design — and with a masters in architecture — TikToker Reeves Connelly views TV series like Modern Family and Cheers differently than the rest of us, revealing that there are, in fact, reasons for the design choices on sitcom sets.

To start, those circular kitchen tables aren’t just meant to look quirky. They serve a narrative purpose. “The tables in sitcoms are usually round because it allows the actors to sit in a semi-circle formation so no one has their back to the camera or is blocking another actor from the shot,” he explained in a video from earlier this week.

Superimposing stills from Friends and Disney Channel’s Good Luck Charlie as examples, Connelly described how a kitchen’s layout plays an equally important role. In shows like Full House and That’s So Raven, the kitchen door butts up to another room, providing an easy...

Jurnee Smollett is opening up about her son’s future!

The 38-year-old Smoke actress is a former child star herself. Jurnee got her start in Hollywood on sitcoms like Full House, so she knows what it’s like to grow up in front of the cameras.

Jurnee recently spoke to People about whether or not she wants her 8-year-old son to follow in her footsteps and become an actor himself.

Keep reading to find out more…

According to Jurnee, her son already loves going to work with her and watching the monitor while she films. The actress said that her son, Hunter, is already used to being on set and knows how to be quiet and respectful while the cameras roll.

“I was just recording something yesterday, and he was with me. And he was just hanging out and everyone was so impressed that he was able to be quiet,...

Unlike Full House (three dads) or Perfect Strangers (wacky foreigner) or Dinosaurs (dinosaurs), King of the Hill has a simple premise — maybe the simplest comedy premise of the past several decades. Hank (voice of series co-creator Mike Judge) and Peggy (Kathy Najimy) raise their son Bobby (Pamela Adlon); Hank’s main social life consists of standing in the alley behind his house drinking beer with his neighbors.

But anyone who knows the show at all knows I left out extremely salient details. Hank clashes with Bobby because Hank is a determinedly “normal” man, and Bobby’s artistic pursuits — comedy, cooking — confuses and alarms his father, eliciting Hank’s refrain, “That boy ain’t right.” Hank’s neighbors include one paranoid conspiracy theorist, and one man whose lazily enunciated accent makes him nearly incomprehensible. Hank doesn’t just drink beer, he drinks Alamo. King of the Hill isn’t just a family sitcom,...

If you’ve had a chance to check out the opening hours of Smoke Season 1, then you know it’s a twisty, complex crime drama with that dark and ominous vibe that surrounds many Apple TV+ series.

And if you haven’t checked it out yet, what are you waiting for?

While the series may just be getting started, the cast is full of recognizable faces that have impressive filmographies. And we’re taking a look at some of the projects that put these faces on the map.

It’s not too hard to push the nostalgia button for someone who grew up in the ‘90s. All you need to do is mention the Power Rangers or Pearl Jam, and their eyes will light up. The same goes for these four little letters: T-g-i-f. No matter how many mozzarella sticks they scarf down from the other TGIFs, for them, those letters in that order will immediately trigger the sound of Steve. Urkel’s distinct laugh or Michelle Tanner’s “You got it, dude!”

On September 22, 1989, ABC launched a Friday primetime block of shows aimed at revitalizing one of TV’s most difficult nights to program by consolidating two hours of family-oriented comedies. It was called Tgif to trade on the familiarity of the phrase “Thank God it’s Friday,” although officially it stood for “Thank goodness it’s funny” to avoid legal issues with the Tgi Fridays restaurant chain.

Full House star Jodie Sweetin has accepted being associated with Stephanie Tanner. The famous sitcom concluded in 1995 and remains cherished by audiences. Sweetin famously portrayed Stephanie, a middle child known for her fun personality and "how rude" catchphrase. Stephanie later returned in Fuller House, the Netflix series that began in 2016, which reunited her and her sister DJ (Candace Cameron Bure) in adulthood.

During an interview with People, Sweetin revealed that she accepts being Stephanie "forever." As Sweetin explained, there was a period when she was pursuing other careers and was content with that, but enjoyed having an opportunity to portray Stephanie again in Fuller House.

She also acknowledged that playing Stephanie and having audiences grow attached to her character has benefited her career. Read her comments below:

I will be Stephanie Tanner forever. And I've come to be really okay with that over the last 20 years. I kind of walked...

Mike Tyson and Lakiha Spicer have known each other since the late 1990s, and they have been married since 2009. Spicer is the third wife of the former undisputed heavyweight champion. He was previously married to Robin Givens from 1988 to 1989 and then to Monica Turner from 1997 to 2003.

Both these marriages ended up being a disaster. However, his marriage to Spicer has been going on for more than a decade and a half. He has credited Lakiha, aka Kiki Spicer, for turning his life around and helping him out with his personal life troubles, like drug addiction and millions of dollars in debt.

Tyson welcomed his first child, Mikey Lorna Tyson, with ex-girlfriend Kimberly Scarborough. He had sons, Ramsey Tyson and Amir Tyson, with Turner. He had his son Miguel Lión Tyson and late daughter Exodus with ex-girlfriend Sol Xochitl. Tyson and Spicer share two kids.

Here is everything you need to...

Apologies to Jeff Franklin, creator of the Tgif sitcom Full House, but the show aired many episodes that could compete for the series’ worst. Maybe that’s why Franklin limited it to Season Three when he picked his “controversial” entry for most horrible episode, that year’s season premiere, “Tanner’s Island.”

The premise is predictably dopey. To celebrate the anniversary of Joey and Jesse moving in with the Tanners (did they have the date written on the calendar?), Danny gifts everyone with a surprise vacation to Hawaii. That’s a helluva present! There are the usual hijinks (Joey wants to hook up with a hula dancer) before their three-hour boat tour goes awry, and the fam finds themselves stranded on a deserted island.

Yeah, it’s Gilligan’s Island, complete with coconuts falling on Joey’s head.

“It had so much potential and cost so much money,” Franklin told...

Full House alum Jodie Sweetin has elaborated on her past addiction struggle, saying it was all anyone wanted to talk about after someone sold the story of her being in treatment. The Stephanie Tanner portrayer struggled with addiction in her 20s, as she said in a recent interview on Kail Lowry’s Barely Famous podcast. “And because people know who you are, it never kind of goes away from it being in the public eye,” she explained. “And also, anything that you go through because you’re in the public eye, people just want to pay attention to it, regardless of if it’s something that millions of other people are dealing with.” Despite people assuming Sweetin’s drug and alcohol use was a result of her early fame, the actor said she would have struggled with addiction issues “regardless of being on TV or not.” In the middle-class neighborhood in which Sweetin grew up,...

Joe Epperson, a camera operator who brought TV shows like Full House, and The Tonight Show to audiences, has died. The 80-year-old died of cardiac arrest at Southwest General Health Center in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, on Saturday, June 28, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Epperson operated cameras on All in the Family from 1975 to 1979, The Jeffersons from 1976 to 1982, and Full House from 1987 to 1995. He had a 15-year run on The Tonight Show, starting at the beginning of Jay Leno’s run as host in 1992. He was also a charter member of the Society of Camera Operators, a director on the organization’s board, and a 1995 recipient of its lifetime achievement award.

Joe Epperson, the three-time Emmy-nominated camera operator who had long stints on All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Full House and The Tonight Show, has died. He was 80.

Epperson died Saturday of cardiac arrest at Southwest General Health Center in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, his wife of 58 years, Patty Epperson, told The Hollywood Reporter. He had been in and out of the hospital and rehab since April 29 when his appendix burst.

Known for his skill with hand-held cameras, Epperson in 1981 shot from the Roxy in West Hollywood The Pee-wee Herman Show, which ran on HBO and put Paul Reubens and his hilarious alter ego on the map.

He also trained his lens on Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli and Sammy Davis Jr. over three nights at the Fox Theatre in Detroit for a 1989 Showtime special and worked on the James Keach-directed Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me, the 2014 documentary that followed...

Jodie Sweetin played Stephanie Tanner on Full House from 1987 to 1995, and the former child actress credits two of her costars, Bob Saget and Dave Coulier, for helping instill confidence in her at a young age. During a recent interview with People, Sweetin opened up about the influence the two men — who portrayed her onscreen father, Danny Tanner, and honorary uncle, Joey Gladstone, in the beloved sitcom — had on her trying stand-up comedy. “I have found a confidence, and honestly, it came from Bob and Dave,” she explained. “It came from Bob and Dave all my life, encouraging me that I was funny, even when I was a kid.” In 2016, Sweetin, Saget and Coulier reunited for the Full House spinoff Fuller House, which ran through June 2020, where the “stupid jokes” amongst them continued. “Stand-up comedians, I’ve grown up around them, and there’s nothing that makes me happier than sitting...

Bobby Sherman passed away from stage four cancer this week, and John Stamos paid him tribute. He was once a teen idol and a heartthrob singer who performed songs like “Easy Come, Easy Go.” He also acted, as does General Hospital alum, Stamos. They both shared a love for music, as John was also a musician and toured with The Beach Boys. This week, he penned a sweet tribute to his friend.

John And Bobby Got Different Breaks

John Stamos got his first major break as Blackie Parrish on the ABC television soap opera General Hospital. He was a member of a band named The Bad Boyz, but it was his time on Full House as Jesse Katsopolis that soared him into a higher popularity. Like his friend, Bobby, he became a teen idol.

Bobby, on the other hand,...

Bobby Sherman, the beloved singer, actor, and humanitarian who stole hearts in the 1960s and 1970s, has died at the age of 81. As reported by multiple outlets, Sherman passed away on June 24, 2025, following a battle with cancer (via USA Today). His wife, Brigitte Poublon, had publicly shared news of his diagnosis in March 2025, and later revealed that the former teen idol had been receiving palliative care at home since April. Sherman’s death brings a wave of mourning to fans across generations who grew up watching him on TV and listening to his chart-topping hits.

Bobby Sherman’s passing was confirmed by longtime friend and Full House star John Stamos on Instagram. Stamos, who served as an ambassador for the Brigitte & Bobby Sherman Children’s Foundation, shared a heartfelt tribute on behalf of Brigitte Poublon that celebrated Sherman’s impact on and off screen. The announcement quickly spread across social media,...

Pretty much everything is funnier when a baby does it.

Think about it, when’s the last time you watched a reel of adults just laughing? Or smashing a cake with abandon? Hopefully never, because such things sound obnoxious and cringe when an adult does them. But a baby explaining the plot of Star Wars? Hilarious.

The general hilariousness of babies is also why they’re frequently featured on sitcoms, either as a reliable source of “aw” moments like baby Lily from Modern Family or to deliver snarky, funny lines like Michelle Tanner in Full House (even if she’s unrealistically clever for a toddler).

But there’s yet another infant trope endemic to sitcoms: the violent baby. These babies’ cutesy moments are juxtaposed with acts of terrible violence, making for the very best — and least predictable — type of sitcom babies.

Here are five such babies who deliver laughs by inflicting pain…...

Crossover events have been a common staple in television for decades, giving viewers an opportunity to witness some of their favorite characters from different shows interacting with each other, often to hilarious effect. You can read /Film's selection of the best crossover episodes here. Usually, crossovers are often a chance for networks to promote brand synergy, and in some cases me be a ploy to get a boost in ratings. However, when handled right, with consistent writing for the characters, they can showcase the best elements of both series' trademarks.

ABC launched its Tgif primetime programming block in 1989, in which family sitcoms would air and lead into the news show "20/20." Two of the most beloved series from that programming block were "Full House" and "Family Matters." The former series first hit the air in 1987, while the latter series premiered in 1989. However, both series would cross paths in 1991 when the...

From 1987 to 1995, ABC's family sitcom "Full House" entertained audiences with its exploration into the lives of the Tanner family household led by widower Danny Tanner (Bob Saget). Danny raised his three daughters, D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin), and Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) with the help of his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos) and best friend Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier) in his titular full house in San Francisco, CA. Throughout the series' eight-year run, the Tanner household grows larger, as does the property value of the house itself.

Over 20 years after the original series' conclusion, Netflix's "Fuller House" caught viewers up with the Tanners' lives in the 21st century, with the now-grown-up widowed mother D.J. raising her three sons with the help of her sister Stephanie and best friend Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). Premise sure sounds familiar, huh? Well, given the timeless nature of family-related sitcoms,...

Full House star Andrea Barber recently opened up about Bob Saget‘s bad habit that got him in trouble with the child stars’ moms. Recently, How Rude, Tanneritos! co-hosts Barber and Jodie Sweetin teamed up with John Stamos and Lori Loughlin for a live show, which they then shared in multiple parts on their podcast. The actors behind Uncle Jesse Katsopolis (Stamos), Aunt Becky Donaldson-Katsopolis (Loughlin), Stephanie Tanner (Sweetin) and Kimmy Gibbler (Barber) chatted about the Jesse-Becky wedding episodes during the sit-down. Additionally, the former castmates shared anecdotes involving Saget, who portrayed Danny Tanner. “What’s the most foul thing Bob said ever that got him the most in trouble?” Stamos asked the women of their late costar. Sweetin said she couldn’t repeat Saget’s behind-the-scenes jokes, insisting, “I don’t know that I would want to say it into a microphone.” However, Barber recounted how the parents of...

Full Housestar Candace Cameron Bure, who plays D.J. Tanner in the show and the sequel Fuller House, has recently spoken out about the sitcom’s huge success. Every season of Full Housefocuses on the Tanner family: children D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle, their widowed father, Danny, their uncle Jesse, and family friend Joey. Together, the group causes all manner of chaos and hilarity, and their wholesome escapades are the reason Full House is one of the most notable sitcoms of all time.

In a recent episode of the Hey Dude... The 90s Called! podcast (via EW), hosted by Christine Taylor and David Lascher, Cameron Bure acknowledges Full House’s popularity as a sitcom, and what about it made it such a success:

"Aside from it being an unconventional family... like, that's what people related to, having a mom or a dad or grandparents raising them, or aunts or uncles, like,...

Candace Cameron Bure isn’t here for haunted houses, horror flicks, or anything remotely creepy, and she’s got a strong reason why. The Full House and Hallmark Channel star recently opened up on her podcast about why she has a firm “no scary movies” rule inside her home. And no, it’s not just because she doesn’t like jump scares.

For Bure, it’s a spiritual thing. The actress, who’s been vocal about her Christian faith, explained that she believes watching horror movies can open a “portal” to negative or even demonic energy. While her family may poke fun, she’s serious about protecting her home from what she sees as dark energy and bad vibes.

Why Candace Cameron Bure believes horror films open the door to darkness…

Candace Cameron Bure may have grown up on the soundstage, but when it comes to what plays on the screen at home,...

We all had those scary moments when we were kids. Whether it was the monster under the bed or the fact that we just watched A Nightmare on Elm Street so of course we were next on Freddy Krueger’s list. But that tends to fade away with maturity and plain logic. But for actress Candace Cameron Bure, even dabbling in horror movies will unleash sheer hell into your house, full or not.

Candace Cameron Bure recently said on her namesake podcast (via THR) that she takes the duty of protecting her family to the extreme. Case in point: the portal. Ok, so what constitutes a “portal” exactly? “Like if you’re watching this, or you’re playing this video game, or whatever, that’s a portal that could let stuff inside our home. I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV,...

All her career, screenwriter Victoria Male has heard that having a great script was the most important thing she could do to give her work the best shot at getting made. That advice shifted in the midst of the pandemic and the strikes, with studios no longer willing to take bets on just any script.

“There’s … a lot of risk aversion, a lot of fear,” Male told TheWrap, pointing to words of a friend who works as a senior development executive at a U.K. production. “Now people aren’t trying to find the script that they can fight for and that will make their career — they’re just trying not to get fired.”

With a finger on the pulse of the industry, Male decided to take the odds for her feature script — a Y2K nostalgia-filled project titled “Whatever Happened to Baby J” — into her own hands by...

Candace Cameron Bure is explaining why scary movies are banned from her house.

During a recent episode of her The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, the 49-year-old Full House actress explained that her family will sometimes “make fun of her” whenever she talks about “spiritual things” happening in their home.

In one example, Candace said her husband Valeri Bure and their kids start “rolling their eyes” at her because she believes the TV can be a “portal” to something “demonic.”

Keep reading to find out more…“Like if you’re watching this, or you’re playing this video game, or whatever, that’s a portal that could let stuff inside our home,” Candace explained. “I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that’s just a portal.”

Candace went on to acknowledge that it’s ironic that she feels this...

Former “Full House” star Candace Cameron Bure has revealed that she does not watch horror movies because she feels like they expose her, her family and her home to something “demonic.”

The actress revealed as much during this week’s episode of “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast,” aptly titled, “Is Watching a Scary Movie Bad for Me or is That Just Fear Talking?” Joined by her son, Lev, and Pastor Jonathan Pokluda, Bure explained why she does not like to have horror movies playing in her home.

“You’re opening up a portal. Like, if you’re watching this, or you’re playing this video game, or whatever, that’s a portal that could let stuff inside our home,” she said. “I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that’s just a portal.”

“Listen, I’m in the film industry.

I completely understand when someone says they don’t enjoy horror movies. I do, but I’m also fully aware that for plenty of people, seeing a monster cleave somebody in twain doesn’t lead to a dopamine release. If someone’s not a fan, that’s their wave, and I’m not going to act like it’s unusual. What am I going to do, call them a ‘fraidy-cat? I’m 34. I don’t have enough cartilage left in my joints to use phrases like that.

Unlike other genres, the only reasoning you really ever need to give for not liking scary movies is, well, that they scare you and you don’t like it. Which is why it’s such a strange, unforced error for the actor Candace Cameron Bure to feel the need to bring borderline psychosis into the discussion of why they’re not screening in her home.

For John Stamos, Beach Boys frontman Brian Wilson “didn’t just soundtrack” his life, the legendary founder of California rock “filled it with color, with wonder, with some of the most unforgettable, emotional, joyful moments I’ve ever known.”

Following news of Wilson death at the age of 82, Stamos honored the Beach Boys’ chief songwriter in a tribute shared to social media on Wednesday. “It’s hard to put into words what it meant to stand beside him, laugh with him, play his music with him,” wrote Stamos, who played frequently with the group.

Do not put a scary movie on the TV at Candace Cameron Bure’s house.

On a recent episode of “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast,” the “Full House” star explained that her family will sometimes “make fun of her” whenever she talks about “spiritual things” happening in her home. One topic that makes her husband and kids start “rolling their eyes” is the TV, or as Bure calls it, “the portal.”

“Like if you’re watching this, or you’re playing this video game, or whatever, that’s a portal that could let stuff inside our home,” Bure said. “I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that’s just a portal.”

Bure has been on television her entire life, landing her first TV role on the medical drama “St. Elsewhere” at just 6 years old. Most famously, she played...

Stars are mourning the death of Brian Wilson after it was announced on Wednesday that he died. He was 82.

The family of Wilson, who was a founding member of The Beach Boys, confirmed his death on Instagram, writing: “We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy.”

Soon after the news broke, celebrities took to social media to share their condolences.

Elton John took to Instagram Wednesday, calling Wilson “the biggest influence on my songwriting ever.”

“Brian Wilson was always so kind to me from the day I met him,” John said. “He sang ‘Someone Saved My Life Tonight’ at a tribute concert in 2003, and it was an extraordinary moment for me.

There are many films that revolve around biking. Some of the most entertaining film would have to Breaking Away (1979), BMX Bandits (1983), American Flyers (1985) and Turbo Kid (2015). But there is another film that focuses on a BMX bike, a race and a kid with big dreams. That film is 1986’s Rad.

The film Rad is coming up on its epic 40th anniversary. So, for this amazing anniversary, there needs to be a just as amazing release. Enter Mill Creek Entertainment, that have released a wonderful looking Blu-ray perfect for cult film fanatics.

Cru Jones (Bill Allen) is the best BMX biker in Cochrane. He’s got the talent to become the best BMX daredevil in the world. Bart Taylor (Bart Conner) is the best BMX biker in the world,...

Summer vacation is underway for most kids, and just in time for the occasion, Phineas and Ferb are back to do it all again with the 104 new days they have at their disposal. The revival of the classic Disney Channel animated series is almost here with new wacky summer adventures from the titular step-brothers and their friends as they try to make the most of their limited time off from school. To help occupy their afternoons, some exciting new guests are coming along for the ride as zany new characters who add new life to the Tri-State area. Ahead of the premiere, Collider has an exclusive look at these new additions played by Alan Cumming, Lake Bell, John Stamos, and Leslie Jones.

Cumming, known for his role as Nightcrawler in X2: X-Men United and, more recently, as the Emmy-winning host of The Traitors, will make his Phineas and Ferb debut as the Haberdasher,...

Long before Marvel was crossing over the superheroes in their films at every chance, prime-time sitcoms figured out that people love to see a character from one show appear in another. Or, at least, people like the idea of it. While some crossovers come off like Thor and Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok — an epic team-up with hilarious moments — others are more like Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy in Thor: Love and Thunder — a disappointing mess that fails to deliver on its potential.

Superheroes aside, here are the five most ill-conceived sitcom crossovers of all time…

5 ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘Futurama’

The very idea of Homer Simpson sharing a few cans of Duff with Bender is inspired. Unfortunately, the Simpsons episode “Simpsorama,” which crossed over with Futurama, failed to deliver at every turn. The episode checks all the boxes for what you’d want to see these characters do together...

Full Housewas so beloved that the sitcom, which ran for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995, spawned a spinoff in Netflix’s Fuller House.The latter ran for an additional five seasons and brought back nearly all the original cast, including Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, who now host a rewatch podcast called How Rude, Tanneritos!.

Sweetin played middle daughter Stephanie Tanner in Full House, while Barber was the annoying neighbor, Kimmy Gibbler, who was also best friends with Candace Cameron Bure’s D.J. Tanner. While some would argue that the younger actors were the stars of the show, particularly Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's Michelle and siblings, the series was led by the likes of John Stamos, Dave Coulier, and the late Bob Saget. Saget passed away in 2022 at the age of 65.

Per Entertainment Weekly, Barber, in a recent podcast episode, talked about the time that her star power as Kimmy...

We’re big fans of director John Carpenter’s 1986 action extravaganza Big Trouble in Little China here on JoBlo. We’ve sung its praises with a Revisited video, named it the greatest cult film of all time, and dug into the film’s three best scenes… so we’re very sad to hear that actor Peter Kwong, who played the super-powered martial artist Rain in the Carpenter film, has passed away at the age of 73. According to Variety‘s report, Kwong died in his sleep Tuesday night.

Kwong is best remembered for playing Rain, but that was just one of almost 90 screen acting credits he racked up over the course of a career that stretched back nearly fifty years. Hailing from Sacramento, California, Kwong got his acting career started with an appearance on a 1976 episode of the TV series Visions. Among his many other credits are roles in the films Straight Time,...

Big Trouble in Little China actor Peter Kwong passed away in his sleep on Tuesday night. He was 73.

Kwong played Rain, serving Lo-Pan as one third of the elemental masters known as the Three Storms, in John Carpenter’s 1986 cult classic.

Kwong’s other notable film credits include The Golden Child, Gleaming the Cube, Cooties, Never Too Young to Die, and Theodore Rex.

He also appeared on such TV shows as “Full House,” “Drake & Josh,” “The A-Team,” “MacGyver,” “Lethal Weapon,” “My Wife and Kids,” “Wonder Woman,” and “King of the Hill.”

In addition to acting, Kwong was an accomplished martial artist and dancer; served on the SAG National Board of Directors, AFTRA National Board of Directors, and Television Academy Board of Governors; and was an activist against anti-Asian stereotyping in Hollywood.

Nowadays, with outlets like Netflix, Hulu and whatever HBO is called this week, comedians who tell dirty jokes can do the exact same thing on sitcoms or animated shows. But before the arrival of streaming and premium cable, a stand-up comic who predominantly worked blue had no place on TV. That is, unless they could play by network TV’s rules, which was no sure thing. The Richard Pryor Show, for example, lasted just four episodes.

There were, however, some comedians who managed to hold off on the f-bombs and make a killing on TV. Here are five of them…

1 Bob Saget Play

Who would have thought that the guy who joked about his mom being a sex worker and his wife being a seven-year-old girl would become one of the sweetest dads in TV history? Saget first shocked audiences with his wildly raunchy stand-up act, and then again by...

After the original Full House series, the cast reunited for the sequel series, Fuller House. Two of the stars of both shows remain open to coming back for a third show, though fans shouldn't expect to see it happen anytime soon.

These days, series stars Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler) have been co-hosting How Rude, Tanneritos!, a rewatch podcast for the show. The two recently discussed the possibility of doing a third Full House series on their podcast, and Barber hinted that she'd "never say never" to another return as Kimmy. Sweetin concurred, but her idea is to make the next show feel more like The Golden Girls by picking up with Kimmy and the Tanner women during their golden years. That also means that she wants 15 years or so before pursuing the idea.

"We need some more time. It's too soon," Sweetin said on the...

For many years as co-stars on Full House, Jodie Sweetin and Candace Cameron Bure literally saw eye-to-eye.

But when it comes to certain cultural topics facing society, most notably ongoing LGBTQ+ issues and debates, the actresses most certainly are Not on the same page.

Bure, for her part, has been labeled a very rude celebrity.

She’s also made it clear she’s against gay marriage.

Simply put, Sweetin does Not share these views.

But does that mean she hates Bure? That the two are openly feuding? Not talking?

“We’ve always been very different on those things,” Jodie explained on an April 28 episode of The Vault with Monica & Amir podcast. “I think it was just,...

Everywhere you look, everywhere you go, there’s a grown-ass adult asking a child if they find Uncle Jesse sexy.

There’s no questioning the fact that, out of all of the hotties and heartthrobs of 1990s television, John Stamos was in the upper echelon of family-friendliness during his time on the hit sitcom Full House. Playing the musically inclined, Elvis-obsessed, avuncular hunk Uncle Jesse, Stamos became one of those rare sex symbols who managed to maintain that perfect G-rating throughout his historic run as the subject of so many comedy lovers’ not-so-g-rated fantasies, in no small part because Uncle Jesse was so good with the girls — but not too good, not in a weird way that would give the Tanners and their friends uncomfortable ideas.

While Stamos may have been the most desired man on television to so many grown adult women and men when Full House was on the air,...
