A Seth Rogen comedy series is still a streaming hit a month after its premiere. A highly successful genre, comedies are often among the top shows on streaming. However, the charts reveal that the top streaming comedies are often classic shows that stopped airing years ago.

As of September 2025, some of the top streaming comedy shows include Ted Lasso, Modern Family, How I Met Your Mother, and iCarly. Since streaming viewers often turn to classics like those shows for laughs, it is impressive that Rogen's comedy series has shown staying power on the charts.

Both concerts, at Gillian Lynne Theatre, are set for Monday, November 24. Lulu, of course, starred in the 1967 film version alongside Sidney Poitier and scored a hit with the title song.

CBS's new comedy Dmv will poke fun at the dreaded Department of Motor Vehicles. Set in one of Hollywood's most mundane office environments, the TV show will depict the daily struggles of the people working the desks.

Showrunners Dana Klein and Matt Kuhn's new sitcom has the most unremarkable setting, a nondescript Department of Motor Vehicles office. "I loved the idea of setting a show in the most mundane, unextraordinary place, and arguably the Dmv is one of the most dreaded places people have to go," Klein told TV Insider. Dmv's trailer already teased hilarious hijinks, and Klein promises to expand on that premise.

The Hollywood blonde beauty, Cameron Diaz, turned 53 on Saturday, August 30. Diaz’s entry into the industry happened by chance, as she had no intention of pursuing acting at that time. The actress began her career in modeling and briefly relocated to Paris to further her modeling career.

Diaz was persuaded to audition for the Jim Carrey film by one of her modeling agents, and she caught the attention of director Chuck Russell.

The actress told Butler in an interview, “Super homophobic jokes on mainstream television. If you watch Friends now you’re like, ‘Whoa, that’s….’”

A former teenage pageant queen herself, Miranda dreams of endorsement deals, beauty brands, maybe even a TV show. Bailey, however, wants none of it.

In the 2000s, Segel not only starred in How I Met Your Mother, but also in movies like Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and The Muppets. While that time in his career and being in his 20s was overwhelming for the actor, he credits Michael J. Fox...

“Shrinking” star Jason Segel remembers how much he was juggling in his 20s: The hit sitcom “How I Met Your Mother,” along with films like “Knocked Up,” “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “The Muppets.”

“It was actually very overwhelming, and I was very tired,” he says. But he kept his eye on the prize by thinking about what Michael J. Fox pulled off in the 1980s while starring in “Family Ties.” “You would hear these stories about Michael J. Fox doing his show while he’s doing ‘Back to the Future’ and going from one set to another and sleeping in his trailer,” Segel says. “We used to talk about like, ‘Hey, if Michael J. Fox can do this, we can do this!'”

Cut to this upcoming Season 3 of “Shrinking,” which just wrapped production. and features Fox as a guest star. Segel says he isn’t in a lot of scenes with Fox,...

Michael C. Hall has excelled in every series that he has played Dexter Morgan, the serial killer who kills serial killers, in. Across the eight seasons of Dexter, the series has placed him up against some high profile actors - specifically, John Lithgow's Trinity Killer. However, the newest series in this franchise has gone all out when it comes to putting Hall to work to act against several thespians with major chops.

The first season of the series alone (of which there has already been three announced) sees Dexter facing off against the likes of Uma Thurman (Kill Bill), David Dastmalchian (The Suicide Squad), Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones), and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), but the biggest name of all is arguably Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), who's acting prowess makes him the biggest get since Lithgow.

Spoilers for "Party of One," the series finale of "And Just Like That..." follow, insofar as a show like this can even be spoiled.

The series finales of "How I Met Your Mother" and "Game of Thrones" can officially step aside. There's a new winner of the "worst series finale" award, and it belongs firmly to "Party of One," the last episode of the "Sex and the City" revival and sequel, titled "And Just Like That..." Indeed, to say this episode is a huge, steaming pile of crap is an understatement. Beyond that, in the last 34 minutes of this interminable, consistently illogical, and often downright awful series, it betrays literally everything that "Sex and the City" once proudly represented.

I've already talked at length right here at /Film about how "And Just Like That..." absolutely sucks and why it flat-out fails, on every conceivable level, to live up to the...

A little over a decade ago, How I Met Your Mother concluded its run on the screens, and boy, was it a controversial ending. After that long and winding story that Josh Radnor’s Ted tells his kids about how he met their mother, the finale saw him ending up with Robin instead, after her divorce from Barney.

Yet, at least Barney’s (played by Neil Patrick Harris) ending left a smile on our faces. Well, yes, he does revert to his initial playboy ways after his divorce. But then one of his one-night stands results in a child, leading to the birth of his daughter, Ellie. This new turn in his life really changes him as Barney finds a new purpose in fatherhood.

In a way, the show implied that he is genuinely committed to being a good father, which does make for a heartwarming ending for him. X...

Nobody Wants This Season 2 was greenlit with the release of the first season back in 2024. The second season of this iconic show is expected to premiere on October 23, 2025, on Netflix, according to Deadline.

Starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody in the lead roles, this comedy series took the audience on a wild ride as an agnostic person and a rabbi fall in love, and their task is to stay together despite their differences. Of course, since people liked the show so much, we will be getting a second season pretty soon.

The story will pick up right from when the first season ended, with Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) trying to continue their relationship while also following their traditions and beliefs.

This Breaking Bad Icon Was a Last-Minute Fix That Became TV Gold ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Breaking Bad gave television some of its most unforgettable characters but among them, Mike Ehrmantraut was not part of the original plan. He came into the story not because of some grand vision but because Bob Odenkirk could not make it to the set. His other gig on How I Met Your Mother clashed with the filming schedule and the writers needed someone to cover for Saul Goodman. As a result, they built Mike from scratch, which was a quick fix that became one of the show’s strongest pieces.

Mike Ehrmantraut Was Never Meant to Be a Main Character

Jonathan Banks took on the role and made Mike more than a stand-in. However, what was supposed to be a temporary part turned into something essential. His cold efficiency and calm presence clicked with fans and cast alike,...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was released on March 10, 1997, on the WB channel, bringing about a new wave of content and a new kind of heroine. Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy was tough, smart, funny, and flawed. Her portrayal of the teenage vampire slayer instantly became iconic.

The show was created by Joss Whedon and spanned seven seasons, bringing together rich character development, teen angst, and supernatural action. Over two decades after the show aired its finale in 2003, Buffy is still a cultural reference point. Now there’s soon going to be a Buffy spinoff, but what is the original Buffy cast up to now?

Cristin Milioti has a whole lotta of Egot action going on. She already has been a Lead Actress Tony Award nominee for her lead role in Broadway’s Once — which she played more than 500 times from 2011-2013 — a Grammy winner for that show’s cast album and now recipient of her first Emmy nomination as Lead Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology or Television Movie for her acclaimed villain Sofia Falcone in The Penguin. And also this season she returned as Nanette Cole in the iconic USS Callister episodes of Black Mirror. It’s a role she first played back in 2017, and now again eight years later.

In fact, between The Penguin’s 24 Emmy Nominations and Black Mirror’s 10, she is in no less that two of the five nominees for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, adding up to 34 nominations between them.

General audiences at multiplexes likely will not be able to tell that the dead-on spoof of a movie trailer that opens the new reboot of ’80s classic The Naked Gun is actually part of the film itself as it no doubt will have just followed 25 minutes of real trailers, but it is an inspired beginning as star Liam Neeson shows up to plead for the return of comedy to theaters, an endangered species he goes on to detail by name-checking numerous funny films of a distant past and encouraging moviegoers to support the comedy of their choice — if they can find it.

The sad thing is that it is not just a spoof. The style of Lol-, hit-the-wall-with-a-barrage-of-laugh-lines-for-85-minutes-straight comedy has become something of a rarity in theaters, where the sound of laughter can be contagious if experienced communally. Eddie Murphy and Adam Sandler are relegated to streamers these days.

When we think of beloved veteran actor Harrison Ford, we tend to think of him as a performer exclusive to film. Indeed, Ford has etched a rich tapestry across that medium in classics such as Indiana Jones, Blade Runner, and even a small role in Apocalypse Now. Not to mention his enduring legacy in a galaxy far, far away. So synonymous with his name that I don’t even need to mention the character. This is a Star Wars new site after all, folks!

Yet after more than 60 years of film credits, Ford has now become a bona fide television star with his comedy drama series Shrinking alongside Jason Segel. Ford plays therapist Paul Rhoades, who is struggling with Parkinson's disease and is colleagues with widowed Jimmy Laird, played by Segel.

The series has enjoyed critical acclaim and was recently renewed for a third season. Ford, in particular, has received...

When Justin Baldoni proposed to Emily Baldoni in 2012, he didn’t just get down on one knee; he created what he called his “first movie,” a 27-minute romantic short film packed with flash mobs and tributes.

The elaborate proposal, which took place at Blu Jam Cafe in Los Angeles (where the couple had their first date), has recently resurfaced online amid legal controversies involving Baldoni and actress Blake Lively. But beyond the headlines, the proposal video stands out as a bizarre, and admittedly over-the-top, gesture of love.

Watch the video here:

The production began with Baldoni renting out the cafe, convincing Emily he was running late, and then surprising her with a video that played at their candle-lit table. The video opened with Baldoni explaining he wanted to do something special before arriving.

From there, it morphed into a series of humorous and touching scenes, including him lip-syncing to romantic songs,...

In the year of our lord 2025, it isn't exactly news to say that some people find elements of the hit sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" (Himym) to be somewhat problematic. From Barney Stinson's (Neil Patrick Harris) frequent manipulation and sexual exploitation of innocent young women to the culture's reanalysis of Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) as a "nice guy" who is secretly a conceited jerk, there are plenty of holes you can poke into the beloved sitcom. Still, plenty of fans will happily revisit all nine seasons of the long-running CBS staple, especially with the introduction of "How We Made Your Mother," the rewatch podcast hosted by Radnor and series co-creator Craig Thomas.

There's plenty of room to be critical about the shows you love, but folks often take potshots at Himym that you can take at just about every sitcom that has ever aired on television. Try revisiting outdated...

Funko has been releasing a lot of new Harry Potter figures lately, but this one will catch the eye of every collector. Albus Dumbledore and his phoenix, Fawkes, have been immortalized in an exclusive Funko figure, just in time for San Diego Comic-Con 2025. This Hogwarts Headmaster and his majestic bird have been depicted as figures in the past, but this one is more reminiscent of a scene featured in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

With a listed price of $29.99, this Pop! Deluxe figure features Albus Dumbledore as he begins to be covered in flames. This is in reference to a scene in Order of the Phoenix, when the Ministry of Magic was going to arrest him and send him to Azkaban. Before he was taken away, Fawkes flew down and covered him in flames, thus teleporting him away from the school of magic. A release date is...

To escape the aging problem of its cast members, Lyndsy Fonseca and David Henrie, the creators of How I Met Your Mother, Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, shot all of their scenes in Season 2 itself. In an interview with TV Gal, Thomas commented on this decision, saying:

At the beginning of year two we realized these kids were aging. We knew what their piece of the puzzle at the very end game of the show would be and we knew we had to grab it and we did.

This may have been a long shot that was taken by the showrunners, as even one link left untethered would’ve brought all of it crashing down. Thankfully, the long-term storytelling paid off for them in the end.

Shrinking is Jason Segel’s brainchild, and when the casting for season 2 began, he insisted that Brett Goldstein play the role of Louis, the character responsible for Jimmy’s wife’s death. He recognised that Goldstein had the emotional range to deliver that role with precision and add to the depth of the series.

This intervention came from a place of personal experience. Segel had long been typecast as the lovable, funny friend and shows and movies, and he wanted Brett Goldstein to establish himself in different roles so that he doesn’t get typecast. He simply walked into the trailer and asked, “Why isn’t Brett doing this?“, and that changed the trajectory of the show.

Jason Segel Called Out A Problem He Wanted Brett Goldstein To Avoid In Shrinking

Jason Segel’s career has been anchored on iconic roles from How I Met Your Mother and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Considering Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother was Josh Radnor’s shot to stardom, he could’ve easily confined himself in the typecast bubble. But instead of going the safer route, post-himym‘s success, the actor has continued to push himself as an artist by stepping his footing in the realm of music, directing, and roles that are a far cry from Ted.

In 2020, Radnor joined Al Pacino to star in Hunters, which sees him in the shoes of Lonny Flash, and despite its comedic bits, his role was much more grey than his other notable works, including Himym.

While the Al Pacino-led Hunterx didn’t exactly live up to expectations, at the very least, the show was enjoyable, thanks to the cast, especially Josh Radnor,...

When Schitt’s Creek wrapped up in 2020, fans hoped for it to come back. Dan Levy has recently opened the discussion about a possible revival of the show. He said, “I have a kernel of an idea”, but explained that he won’t proceed with it unless it honours the audience and the legacy of the show.

Levy being cautious about a possible reignition of the Schitt’s Creek madness underscores his commitment towards preserving what the show built. Let’s get into what he said and what it could mean for Schitt’s Creek fans.

Dan Levy’s Thoughts on A Revival for Schitt’s Creek

They say if you want something badly enough, you can will it into happening. This is the exact feeling a lot of us got when Dan Levy recently spoke at Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen about the possibility of a reboot for Schitt’s Creek.

In How I Met Your Mother, Barney Stinson had three true loves: suits, women, and Star Wars. The show played his obsession for laughs – especially when he judged potential partners based on whether they loved The Empire Strikes Back – but the writers weren’t just creating a quirky character trait.

For starters, Neil Patrick Harris himself is a massive fan of the galaxy far, far away, and the showrunners made that detail canon. Harris, famously a fan of all things Disney, even created epic Star Wars Halloween costumes for his family the year after Himym went off the air.

As for his on-screen character, under the surface of his cartoonish womanizing and Rulebook logic, Barney was a guy looking for connection. What better mirror than Star Wars, with its ongoing themes of family, destiny, and redemption?

Barney’s Empire obsession plays a pivotal role in the show’s dynamic. In Season 2’s “Swarl Wars,...
