When it began airing in March of 1997 on The WB, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was a show that delighted in throwing its audience for a loop, starting with the title. For those who had neither seen nor heard of the 1992 horror-comedy of the same name, the show was an unexpected blend of supernatural action and high-school angst. On one hand, we have the Slayer, a person with almost inexplicable power and strength whose job is to keep the forces of evil at bay. On the other hand, that Slayer is a teenage girl named Buffy Summers who seems like she would be more at home on a cheerleading squad than she is in patrolling local graveyards to take down any members of the undead.

Honestly, this episode of Elsbeth should have been called “The Mama Bear Mittens Are Coming Off.” There was no holding back on this culturally infused installment from everyone’s favorite Chicago attorney.
For one thing, how adorable was Henry, the tour guide? I don’t know who that actor is, but he is popping up more and more in different shows and movies.
However, the award for the most over-the-top acting on Elsbeth goes to Alyssa Milano. Was her character a little too much? Check the fingernails. But what the actor did with the role was epic.

It will be a long time before viewers forget the name Pupetta. Although, that’s probably because the character’s name sounds like a side dish that comes with eggplant parm.

Actress Shannen Doherty, who appeared in numerous films and TV shows like Heathers, Mallrats, Beverly Hills 90201 and Charmed, was notably absent from the Academy Awards’ In Memoriam tribute at the March 2 ceremony. Doherty died in July 2024 at the age of 53. She had been living with breast cancer since 2015.
Per TMZ, Jennie Garth, who played Kelly Taylor on the teen drama 90210 from 1990 to 2000, voiced her opinion on the Oscars’ omission of Doherty from the In Memoriam segment. When asked about Doherty being missing from the tribute, Garth said, “Yeah, that’s messed up.”
When Garth was asked whether the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should issue an apology for excluding Doherty, who played Brenda Walsh on 90210 from 1990 to 1994, she said “Maybe.”

The 2025 Oscars ignited controversy for leaving out actors such as Michelle Trachtenberg, Tony Todd and Olivia Hussey. “Beverly Hills, 90210” star Shannen Doherty was also omitted, which her co-star Jennie Garth called “messed up” when asked by TMZ to give her thoughts on the snub (via People). Garth added that “maybe” the Academy should apologize to Doherty’s family for the exclusion.
Garth and Doherty became teen icons together as stars of “Beverly Hills, 90210.” They were both series regulars for four seasons. Doherty exited the series before Season 5. Garth continued for all 10 seasons. They later reunited as their characters, Kelly Taylor and Brenda Walsh, for appearances on The CW’s “90210” reboot.
Doherty died in July 2024 after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. In June 2023, she said she had been receiving radiation for cancer that had spread to her brain. She became a popular podcast host in the years...

The 2025 Academy Awards featured its annual In Memoriam segment, honoring industry figures who passed away over the last year. While the tribute recognized film legends such as David Lynch, James Earl Jones, Donald Sutherland, Maggie Smith, Roger Corman, Shelley Duvall, and Bob Newhart, many viewers quickly pointed out names missing from the televised montage.
Morgan Freeman introduced a special remembrance for two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman, who was found dead alongside his wife, Betsy Arakawa, last Wednesday. Quincy Jones also received his own tribute later in the show. The rest of the segment, set to Mozart’s Requiem in D Minor, displayed a montage of those the Academy selected for recognition.
Social media reaction grew as fans noted the absence of several well-known actors and filmmakers. Tony Todd, known for his lead role in Candyman, was not featured. Todd, who died in November at 69, was a familiar face in horror,...

Well Go USA has announced it’ll be distributing the new indie thriller Cold Wallet on digital platforms this Friday. The movie will also enjoy a limited run in select theaters.
The film is about a group of Redditors who got caught up in the crypto hype of the early 2020s, lost all their money, and now want revenge. So they track down the dwelling of the man who swindled them all with plans to rob him blind. You know the recent trend of heist movies that have the burglars turn out to be the unfortunate ones and the person they chose to steal from being more evil than they are? This is another one. “When the home invasion takes a turn for the worst, they become victims in a sadistic game,” says the logline.

Television reboots and revivals have become a staple of the modern entertainment landscape.
Some breathe new life into beloved franchises, while others fall flat and alienate both old and new audiences.
But what separates a successful reboot from one that misses the mark? The answer lies in a delicate balance between respecting the original, bringing something fresh to the table, and ensuring there’s a real reason for the reboot to exist.
(Curtis Bonds Baker/Netflix) The Difference Between Reboots and Revivals
First, it’s important to distinguish between a reboot and a revival.
Revivals continue the story with established continuity — Cobra Kai and Dallas are prime examples, bringing back original characters and expanding the world to include a new generation.
Reboots, on the other hand, start fresh, often with a new cast and a modernized take on the original.

Sharpen those stakes because it’s really happening.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is staging a comeback.
We learned as much earlier this week, but details were scarce, as Sarah Michelle Gellar had stayed quiet about it.
(Disney/Screenshot)
Of course, more details have spilled out since, and we may have gotten ahead of ourselves a bit when we thought the titular slayer would be front and center in the sequel series.
However, reports have since surfaced that while Sarah will be involved in some capacity, she may not be a series regular.
(Disney/Screenshot)
That alone leads us to believe the new series will have a different name. You can’t call it Buffy without the heroine at the show’s heart.
In any case, Sarah wants the world to know that the project is real and that she has many reservations about returning to the franchise.

Actor Ted King is returning to The Bold and the Beautiful. Once again, Jack Finnegan will be part of the soap’s ongoing, and upcoming, storylines. In a recent post on social media, King teased that fans can expect trouble to follow.
The Bold & The Beautiful Is Ted King’s Fifth Soap
King got his start in soap operas with series like Loving and The City. One of his most famous roles had been Andy Trudeau on Charmed, a childhood friend of the Halliwell witch-sisters, the titular “Charmed Ones.”
In the 2000s, King prominently played twins Luis and Lorenzo Alcazar on General Hospital. In the 2010s, he played Tomás on One Life to Live until the soap’s cancelation.

Hopefully, everyone will forgive me for being so late to the game, but I am finally joining the Fire Country bandwagon, and it is amazing. The series may be in the middle of its third season, but I am playing catch-up.
After only five episodes, it’s very clear why this show is such a hit with fans. The staple of a good series is that it pulls you in right away, and I barely needed five minutes before I was hooked.
The first thing that has to be said is that Fire Country is a many-layered show that explores almost every avenue a procedural can go down.

It also doesn’t hurt that there are some ridiculously handsome men in this series.
I’m pretty sure having at least one hot guy on a show about firemen is mandatory, but I’ll double-check to make sure.

My last article about genre shows got me thinking: what were the best TV shows about witches? I’m not talking about shows containing witches but those where witches are the focus.
After all, witches have always cast a spell on TV fans, bringing magic, mystery, and mayhem to our screens.
Whether it’s the charming chaos of Bewitched, where Samantha Stephens tried to blend her magical powers with suburban life, or the dark, broody drama of Charmed, where the Halliwell sisters used their powers to fight evil and protect their family legacy, there’s something captivating about witches.

These shows invite us into worlds where anything feels possible, where spells can fix problems or create even bigger ones, and where characters grapple with the power and responsibility of their gifts.

Gwen Van Dam, whose 70-year career as a character actress for film, television and the stage included turns in True Confessions, Halloween, Coming Home, Stir Crazy and The Trip to Bountiful, has died. She was 96.
Van Dam, who compiled about 140 acting credits on IMDb, died Dec. 19 at her home in West Los Angeles after a recurrence of cancer, her son, Dirk Smillie, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Van Dam remained a busy actress until the end, appearing on the first five episodes of Prime Video’s Homecoming in 2018, on Netflix’s Grace and Frankie in 2019 and on two installments of Hulu’s Interior Chinatown last year. She recently finished a play, too.
Her TV résumé included The Brady Bunch, Mannix, Maude, House Calls, Days of Our Lives, Moonlighting, 227, Knots Landing, Star Trek: Generations, ER, Gilmore Girls, Charmed, New Girl, Criminal Minds, Angie Tribeca and Modern Family.

CBS has been celebrating its massively popular 2024 reboot of the classic show Matlock. With a gender-swapped lead role, played by the formidable Kathy Bates, and a legendary series to pull from, it's a recipe for success (and has already been renewed for a second season). However, knowing the woman behind the magic, it's unsurprising the new Matlock is thriving. Showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman has a lengthy history of writing and producing for television, having worked on shows like Hope & Faith, Gilmore Girls, Charmed, and several others, but perhaps the golden egg of her career so far is the hit CW show Jane the Virgin, which aired from 2014 to 2019, and was loosely adapted from a Venezuelan soap opera from 2002.

I can't believe it's been a little over a year since Netflix announced the sad news that Shadow and Bone had been cancelled. The streamer shared the update back in November 2023. Since then, many of us fans have still been thinking about the fantasy series.
Now, look. Season 2 was not my cup of tea and I did not enjoy it very much overall. However, because of how great season 1 was, it's following, and with so much more story still left to tell, I do think Netflix should have given the series one more shot.
But, here we are in this unfortunate position still. That doesn't mean the fantastical tale doesn't cross our minds every once in a while. If you're like me and looking for something to give you the same vibes, I've got your back. Here's 4 good shows like Shadow and Bone to watch if you miss the fantasy series.

Over the past decade or so, reboots and revivals have become a major source of contention among consumers. More and more networks and streamers began rolling out updated iterations of past favorites, whether it was Netflix getting the Tanner family back together for Fuller House or The CW reimagining 1980s primetime soap Dynasty through a modern lens.
The success of reboots and revivals wasn't always a given, even if established IP seems like a safe bet for a slam dunk. While the craze has slowed down ever so slightly, there have still been plenty of returns, like sitcom revivals Will & Grace, Frasier, Roseanne, Night Court, and Mad About You, drama reboots like Charmed, Bel-Air, Gossip Girl, and Magnum P.I.
Whether we like it or not, the reboot and revival train will continue to move full steam ahead. There's already a handful of beloved shows set for some sort of return,...

The Big Bang Theory is one of the best and most popular sitcoms of modern television. The geeky, Pasadena version of Friends or Seinfeld, this series follows a group of nerdy, socially awkward friends and coworkers -- and their one really hot friend across the hall. We're talking, of course, about Penny, the waitress and aspiring actress who's played by Kaley Cuoco. The Big Bang Theory ran for an impressive 12 seasons, an eternity in TV land, running from 2007 to 2019. (What would Sheldon have thought about the Covid-19 pandemic? We wonder).
The show's tremendous success birthed an entire franchise, which includes the prequel series Young Sheldon and its spin-off series about Sheldon's older brother, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. A fourth series is reportedly in development for Max, which will thrust supporting character Stuart into the spotlight and will follow him, his girlfriend Denise, and geologist Bert Kibbler.

For the time being, Salem could be saying goodbye to someone on Days of Our Lives. Recent storylines have impacted James Read, and his character, Clyde Weston, as well as their role on the series. The actor himself also recently talked about his time on the series.
Clyde Has Been A Part Of Days Of Our Lives Since 2014
Read first joined Days of Our Lives in 2014, playing the drug lord Clyde Weston. The character served as Ben Rogers’ estranged father and Jordan Ridgeway’s stepfather.
Read initially departed the series in 2015. However, Read would still continue to appear as the character throughout the years, effectively becoming recurring starting in 2019.

However, recent events on the soap are expected to see Read take a break from the series, at least for the time being. The series recently saw his character get shot by Catherina Greene. The incident left Clyde in a coma.

No one would have certainly guessed to have seen this a couple months ago, let alone even a couple of weeks ago. But it seems like Jill Biden couldn’t help but feel completely charmed by none other than Donald Trump while in Paris. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Jill Biden – Completely Charmed By Donald Trump In Paris
President Joe Biden certainly doesn’t have anything to worry about. Because it seems like his wife Jill has a particular reason as to why she was all smiles alongside Donald Trump while the two of them were at the reopening of Notre Dame in Paris over the weekend.
According to reports, both Jill and her daughter Ashley were all smiles while they were deep into conversation with the president elect. But there’s a good reason behind it.

Over the past few years, network TV has gotten into some bad habits, primarily because of budget.
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know how upset I am that Blue Bloods has been canceled. The popular show’s high budget was the primary reason it was axed, and that’s only one symptom of a growing problem.
Network TV has been struggling monetarily for a while, and it’s gotten worse since the writers’ and actors’ strikes in 2023. But are budget woes killing these shows’ quality?
(Courtesy of CBS) Cancellation Is The Worst Aspect of This Issue, But It’s Been With Us Forever
When popular shows are canceled despite millions of people watching them, that’s a problem.
Blue Bloods is probably the best-known example of this. The series was canceled ahead of its 14th season despite being a top-rated show that often won the hard-to-get-viewers Friday night timeslot.

Charmed is a timeless show about a family of witches with legendary powers. It's also a great time capsule for '90s fashion that captures the idea of "whimsigoth," like long skirts, velvets, lace, and celestial motifs. Charmed went on for many seasons, covering such a long magical family saga that it touches on many classic witchy fantasy tropes.
Episode specials, like the Halloween features, are great to re-watch around October as they capture the essence of fall. Some episodes also pay homage to myths, fairytales, and other popular fantasy series and movies from the '80s and '90s. Other episodes feature great musical artists of the day.
This article was updated by Christopher Raley on November 30, 2024: Straddling either side of the century changeover, Charmed was one of the last shows from the 1990s and carried on well into the 2000s. Replete with fantasy tropes and set in San Francisco,...

Agatha All Along has been a fantastic series, and there are more shows to watch if you love that witchy magic!
The Marvel Television series has become a major hit for Disney Plus. This sequel to WandaVision has Kathryn Hahn reprising her scene-stealing role as witch Agatha Harkness, the secret architect of much of the chaos. After regaining her memory and powers, Agatha goes on a quest for more power with the uneasy aid of other witches and a mysterious Teen.
The show has a wonderful mix of dark humor, action, thrills, drama and some truly shocking twists. It’s one of many TV shows that use witches and magic, most aimed at a YA audience. Others do have the same appeal as Agatha with a darker take on magic yet some truly offbeat storytelling.
Narrowing it down can be hard, but these 15 shows are just for anyone who enjoyed Agatha All Along.

The cast of Peacock's Based on a True Story gives stellar performances, particularly the two leads playing characters involved in a true-crime podcast. The comedy thriller tells the story of a couple who decide to directly profit from a serial killer in their area by starting a podcast about him. To make the show unique, the podcasters choose to interview the murderer with the agreement that he does not kill anyone else while doing the podcast. The series forces viewers to examine where the line is between entertainment and exploitation.
Despite its heavy central question, Based on a True Story maintains a lighthearted tone throughout the show. The actors help achieve this balance between serious thriller and dark comedy approaches to the story. One of the main actors, Kaley Cuoco, performs well in her role due to her own passion for true-crime content (via Glamour). Along with Cuoco, the cast...

For much of cinematic history, famous action roles were synonymous with male characters, especially on major television networks. There were, of course, female-led productions, but the closest audiences got to a female action star was Annie Oakley in 1956. The '70s offered more of a renaissance for powerful women in action roles, with shows like Wonder Woman and Charlie's Angels being huge hits of the time. But, the truth is, it took a while for women-fronted projects to become more commonplace.
The 1990s were a turning point for this genre when the world was introduced to Xena, the Charmed ones, and Buffy Summers. They were all capable female characters who were not only strong but also complex and well-rounded individuals, fully able to carry a hit TV show. Since then, viewers have tuned in time and time again, keen to see their favorite spies, assassins, and protectors doing what they do best in high-octane adventures.

When it comes to television, what exactly does it mean to do it all? With over 20 years of experience in writing and producing for television, Alison Schapker perfectly exemplifies this phrase.

She has written and produced for some of the most iconic science fiction shows, including Fringe, Almost Human, Westworld, and Altered Carbon (for which Schapker also served as showrunner). Now as the executive producer of Dune: Prophecy, Schapker continues to take the genre by storm.

Prolific actor Tony Todd, especially popular with horror fans for his roles in the genre, passed away on Nov. 6 at his Los Angeles Home. Per Deadline, Todd's death was confirmed by his reps, but the cause of death is not yet known. He was 69 years old.

One of his very first roles was in Oliver Stone's acclaimed 1986 war film Platoon alongside Charlie Sheen, Johnny Depp, and Willem Dafoe. The film won Best Picture at the Academy Awards, among other Oscars, helping to further launch Todd's career.

There was a time when TV guest stars were pure magic, popping up like hidden gems in your favorite shows.

Since its debut in 2006 (and before Warner Bros. and CBS Corporation merged into this network), The CW has been responsible for some of the most widely mainstream TV series in history. These TV shows are so popular that people who haven't watched them have surely heard about them.
Not only are they truly iconic, but a lot of the time, these series run for several years, the longest one being Supernatural with 15 seasons and a spin-off in progress. From shows from the 2000s, like Smallville, to more recent TV series, such as Riverdale, these CW shows hugely impacted popular culture.
Updated on October 25, 2024, by Andrea Sandoval: While the CW's quality moves all over the place, with plenty of criticism from the audience, there is no doubt the network is responsible for some of the most popular TV series in the last 20 years.

After nearly three decades of being involved on the stunt teams for some of the biggest projects in Hollywood, JoJo Eusebio is making his directorial debut with Love Hurts. Having begun as a stuntman on everything from Charmed to Blade II, Eusebio has steadily risen through the ranks as both a stunt and fight coordinator. Through the latter positions, as well as his early career, Eusebio found himself working both with and under David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, serving as the fight coordinator on the first three John Wick movies, as well as Violent Night and The Fall Guy.
With Love Hurts, Eusebio is taking everything learned from Leitch and the other filmmakers he's worked with to deliver another hit for 87North Productions, all with Ke Huy Quan at the forefront.

Charmed's first episode aired in 1998 on WB, and while the series followed three witch sisters with powers trying to keep the world safe, their more human problems brought all the magic to viewers. Now 26 years after the show's premiere, Charmed still boasts a cult following.
Some moments in the show are predictable, but how it matures and changes over the seasons adds to its reliability even two decades later. Although Charmed ended in 2006, its popularity hasn't stopped growing. While some other 90s TV shows are cringe-worthy now, Charmed aged well as it focused on themes like family, femininity, morals and love that resonate with younger and mature audiences today.
The Writing in Charmed Still Makes It an Enjoyable Show to Watch
Charmed is a timeless show that many rewatch today because of its monster-of-the-week episodic format in earlier seasons and superb writing. It perfectly blended the melodrama, action and...

The fantasy series Charmed enchanted fans with a multitude of magical episodes over the course of its eight-season run. Using stories of the supernatural, the show explores themes of sisterhood and female empowerment.

WBs original Charmed series aired from 1998 to 2006, following three sisters who discover they are witches and are tasked with keeping the world safe from evil. The show was so successful it garnered a cult following throughout its eight seasons. With the reboot trend the past few years, Charmed fans were happy to be drawn back to the world of demons and magic when it was announced that a new Charmed series was to be released in 2018 on the CW.
While the reboot wanted to be unique and find its footing, it had several similarities to the original Charmed series which worked well, like the focus on three strong-willed and independent young women trying to navigate adulthood and their sibling relationships while fighting for good.
However, the differences between the two shows affected the reboot by alienating the original fans who wanted, at the very least, for there to be a connection to the original series.
