Bobby Sherman, the pop singer and Here Come the Brides actor whose image graced bedroom posters, lunch boxes and fan magazines as a heart-fluttering teen idol of the 1960s, has died. He was 81.

Sherman’s death was announced Tuesday by his second wife, Brigitte Poublon. It was revealed in March that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.

Discovered at a Hollywood cast party when he was 20, Sherman got a big break when he was signed as a regular vocalist for the ABC musical variety show Shindig! in 1964. He spent about 16 months on the program, which showcased the top acts and songs of the day, through January 1966.

"Dirty Harry" debuted in 1971 amid considerable controversy. Clint Eastwood's maverick cop Harry Callahan played by his own rules which simultaneously electrified and appalled audiences at the time. Director Don Siegel had, depending on your point of view, created a celebration of police overreach, a harmless action fantasy, or a grave warning against the dangers of flouting the rules in favor of one's own predilections.

In the film, Callahan tracks and apprehends the Scorpio Killer (Andrew Robinson), a serial murderer with his own predilection for shooting innocent people from rooftops. Eastwood's loose canon isn't exactly a stickler for the rules, and has no qualms about bending the law in order to get his man, thereby stoking the controversy that followed the film's release. But Siegel also made an effort to draw a parallel between the barbarity of the serial killer and Harry's own proclivity for violence. In time, "Dirty Harry...

David Soul

David Soul died on January 4th at the age of 80. The actor was best known for playing Detective Kenneth “Hutch” Hutchinson on Starsky & Hutch alongside Paul Michael Glaser.

Although Starsky & Hutch would become one of the most iconic shows of the ’70s, Soul and Glaser had no clue it would become as successful as it did. “We didn’t have a clue it was going to be so successful.

Movie, TV and music fans are remembering notable figures who have died since the start of 2024. “Beverly Hills 90210” star Shannen Doherty, “Bob Newhart Show” star Bob Newhart, “An Officer and a Gentleman” Oscar winner Louis Gossett Jr., “Alice” star Linda Lavin, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actor Richard Lewis, “Starsky and Hutch” star David Soul and “Honeymooners” star Joyce Randolph, who played Trixie, are among celebrities from the world of television who have died.

Music stars we lost this year include Quincy Jones, Liam Payne, Kris Kristofferson, Toby Keith, Steve Lawrence and Phil Lesh.

Buddy cop shows have long been one of TV’s most beloved genres, delivering action, humor, and heart through iconic partnerships.

From the classic bromance of Starsky & Hutch to the gritty realism of Line of Duty, these shows prove that two heads are always better than one.

With recent hits like Hawaii Five-0 and Line of Duty carrying the torch into the 2020s, the enduring appeal of these shows lies in their ability to capture teamwork, trust, and the occasional clash of personalities.

This list celebrates the traditional law enforcement duos that defined the genre while showing why these partnerships remain timeless, even as the genre evolves.

There have already been two TV miniseries, but a new theatrical adaptation of Stephen King's novel Salem's Lot was brought to life by horror maven James Wan in 2024. Salem's Lot centers on Ben Mears, an author who returns to his childhood hometown with plans to both write a book about the local haunted house and try to exorcise his various personal demons. Starsky and Hutch's David Soul played Ben in the 1979 CBS TV miniseries adaptation of Salem's Lot, which many regard as a creepy classic.

In 2004, Salem's Lot became another two-part miniseries, this time for cable network TNT, and starring Rob Lowe as Ben. However, it would take another 20 years for the next adaptation to surface, with the release of Salem's Lot on Max in late 2024. Following the basic framework of King's novel, creepy vampires and all, the movie was put through the wringer by Warner Bros. before it was finally,...

Clint Eastwood soared to fame during the 1960s, when his role as the Man With No Name in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy turned him into the new face of the Western genre. In the years since, the actor-director has tackled almost every genre in film, from comedy and adventure to thriller and drama. Along the way, he's built a reputation as one of Hollywood's quintessential tough guys, which has been reflected through various iconic quotes in his various roles.

Clint Eastwood has been given more one-liners and tough-guy quotes than even the best action heroes, with some of his movies producing dozens of memorable quips and jabs. Ranging from insults to warnings, the character is at his best when playing a gun-toting lawman or Western antihero, and those roles have been responsible for his most enduring lines. As Hollywood's resident badass, few people have delivered as many great lines...

Among the upcoming adaptations of the works of Stephen King is The Monkey, and it already has a huge advantage after the divisive 2024 remake of Salems Lot.

Salem’s Lot has a legendary status not unlike the vampire creatures that are the chief antagonists therein. While we are finally getting the newest movie adaptation this month after what seemed like an eternity in development and then an unceremonious shelving, the original continues to have a cult classic aura around it. There was a second TV miniseries that came out on TNT in 2004 but the quality of that one varies depending on who you talk to. Even with all the cache that the original miniseries brings to the table, it had been years since I had watched it. It deserved a revisit and make no mistake, this addition to the King cinematic universe needed a remake more than nearly anything else he has put out.

Originally Salem’s Lot was going to be a theatrical experience but Warner Brothers, who had purchased the rights, had a hard time settling on the story and the personnel.

The world is always ready for a Stephen King adaptation, and Max's Salem's Lot is arriving on Max just in time for Halloween season. The story follows author Ben Mears, who has returned to his hometown in order to write about the haunted house there, but must soon come face to face with his inner demons and the town's outer ones.

The celebrated vampire novel has twice been adapted for television, once in 1979 (starring Starsky and Hutch's David Soul) and once in 2004 (starring Parks and Recreation's Rob Lowe). The newest Salem's Lot leading man is Lewis Pullman, who was recently featured in Top Gun: Maverick, and he is joined by a stellar ensemble cast that includes Alfre Woodard as a gender-bent of Dr. Cody. Given it was originally scheduled for release in 2022, horror fans are eager to see the results.

Stephen King has earned his moniker as the master of horror over five decades, penning some of the most frightening horror stories anyone anywhere has ever read. When you're capable of churning out some of the most terrifying story premises on the planet, it's only a matter of time until Hollywood comes calling, and at this point in his illustrious career, so many of his ideas have hit the big and small screen that Stephen King is more or less a genre onto himself.

As one of the worst horror movie sequels ever made, youre forgiven if youve managed to wipe the memory of A Return to Salems Lot from your brain. Directed by Larry Cohen, the film is an unremarkable follow-up to Tobe Hoopers 1979 TV miniseries, and features an anthropologist and his son making their way to Salems Lot only to discover that its been taken over by vampires. This jumbled continuation received a limited theatrical release in 1987 before hitting VHS a year later, and now its yours to rediscover this Halloween when it makes its way to its new streaming home.

Per Max, A Return to Salems Lot will begin streaming on October 1, just two days before the premiere of Gary Daubermans long-awaited remake of the original. Starring Michael Moriarty, Ricky Addison, Samuel Fuller, and Tara Reid in her feature film debut, the sequel was a critical failure on every level, not even reaching camp status.

A Return to Salem's Lot is officially headed to a new streaming home ahead of the upcoming remake's release.

Per Max, the 1987 feature film sequel to 1979's original Salem's Lot miniseries is set to arrive on the streaming platform on Oct. 1. This will make A Return to Salem's Lot available for audiences to watch just two days before the new Salem's Lot feature film premieres on the very same platform.

The Catholic priest in Stephen King's seminal novel suffers a dark fate, dutifully repeated in various adaptations. But it's not the end of his story.

The 1975 Stephen King horror classic Salem’s Lot is coming back to life, with a new feature-length adaptation heading to Max on October 3.

A new trailer, set against the backdrop of Gordon Light’s 1974 song “Sundown,” gives a peak of what happens when killer vampires descend on the sleepy Maine town of Jerusalem’s Lot.

This new adaptation of King’s novel – starring Lewis Pullman, Makenzie Leigh, Bill Camp, Pilou Asbæk, Alfre Woodard, and William Sadler – was written and directed Gary Dauberman, the co-writer on the 2017 adaptation of It and the 2018 sequel It Chapter Two.

Yesterday, horrormeister Stephen King tweeted: “Salem’S Lot trailer is coming. It’s a good one.” And now that the trailer has arrived, it’s confirmed King was telling the truth. There’s a lot packed into the two-minute trailer, and it effectively captures the creepy, suspenseful, and terrifying vibe.

Before "Salem's Lot" returned to the zeitgeist with a highly-anticipated reboot movie, the Stephen King classic was a miniseries that shook the world. Directed by "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" mastermind Tobe Hooper, the two-part 1979 series was event TV at its spookiest.

The original "Salem's Lot" limited series has never been among the best King adaptations out there, but it holds a unique place in pop culture history thanks to its status as one of the earliest on-screen takes on a King book — plus some truly frightening moments. Several members of the show's sprawling ensemble cast, including David Soul, James Mason, Lance Kerwin, and vamp actor Reggie Nalder, have passed away in the decades since "Salem's Lot" first beamed its way into our collective consciousness. Of the actors who are still with us, several have gone on to award-winning careers in film and television, while others retired or found fulfillment in other careers.

The "Star Trek" episode "The Apple" contained one of show creator Gene Roddenberry's favorite tropes: a remote, agrarian species living in harmony with nature, overseen by an ineffable technological marvel. In "The Apple," the Edenic planet of Gamma Trianguli VI is the home of a sexually innocent, childlike species that is granted their every wish by an all-powerful computer called Vaal. Vaal appears to be a giant snake-like head carved into the rock, but the Enterprise discovers that it is a machine intelligence that has kept the locals in a perpetual childlike state. They are immortal, but also have never had to work, nor are they allowed to "touch" (that is: have sex). Naturally, it will be up to Kirk (William Shatner) and the crew of the Enterprise to destroy Vaal and teach the aliens that growing up is necessary, and that having sex is okay and super-fun.

Calling Marta “a beautiful light,” the actor’s friend Joan Sobel wrote on Facebook, “My friend, Lynne Marta lost her good fight. A wonderfully talented actress and a beautiful singer whose voice was of the angels. A dear heart who adored her friends both human and furry. I will miss her terribly.”

Born on October 30, 1945, in Somerville, NJ, Marta began her TV career in 1966 with appearances on Gidget and The Monkees, and relatively few years went by without a film or TV credit through her 2004 role in an episode of the NBC drama series American Dreams.
