Peloton has claimed another TV victim. And no, they did not authorize this storyline, either. (They have to be looking to fire their PR person, right?)

Archive 81 is the most popular Netflix series right now, so yes, there will probably be a second season. Personally, I didn’t love the ending, but I am all about a second season.

Netflix lost HOW MUCH MONEY?

CBS News has rebranded its streaming channels as CBS News Streaming Network and introduced a bunch of new shows.

Paramount Network is NOT going to be turned into Paramount Movie Network, at least not anytime soon.

Amy Schneider is set to break another record on Jeopardy!

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City can’t seem to stop being racist. Stop being racist, ladies!

BREAKING: WOMAN CHANGES HAIRSTYLE OVER THE COURSE OF TWENTY-TWO YEARS.

Congratulations to Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra on their new baby girl!

Aw, Betty. Here’s her final message to her fans:

John Stamos released his eulogy for Bob Saget, and it was appropriately sweet and raunchy.

Speaking of Bob Saget, AFV is going to continue to pay tribute to him throughout the season.

Finally, one of Louie Anderson’s close friends wrote this lovely tribute to him, revealing more about Anderson’s life and difficulties than I had ever known about.

Cancellations

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? has been canceled at ABC after two seasons.
Work in Progress has been canceled at Showtime after two seasons. It was a sweet, sincere little show that I genuinely enjoyed, but I was never sure who the audience was for it.

Beyond proud. Ecstatic to be a part of this story. No season 3. But we’re all a work in progress… so just the beginning. https://t.co/NlKCPvxzXk
