‘Lost’ is returning to Netflix, so prepare for a surge of new fans

This is literally my favorite ski run at the resort we go to every single year. And I have to admit, there’s a small part of me that wishes this would happen while I was there. (It’s only a small part, though.)

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Jennifer Aniston revealed that she had been texting with Matthew Perry the day e died, and that he was “happy.” 

“He was not in pain. He wasn’t struggling. He was happy.”

Aniston added, “I want people to know he was really healthy, and getting healthy. He was on a pursuit. He worked so hard. He really was dealt a tough one. I miss him dearly. We all do. Boy, he made us laugh really hard.”

Will Hulu/Disney finally dethrone Netflix? Probably!

The new Hulu/Disney+ bundle app will feature all 19 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy.

Meanwhile, Disney has licensed 14 series to Netflix, including: Lost, This Is Us, Prison Break, Archer, How I Met Your Mother, White Collar, Home Improvement, The Resident, ESPN 30 for 30, My Wife and Kids, Reba, The Bernie Mac Show and the recent Wonder Years reboot. So get ready for a whole new generation to discover Lost.

Showtime is being renamed Paramount+ with Showtime because why only have one simple, easy-to-remember name when you could have a mouthful? Also, even if you are a subscriber to Showtime, it does NOT mean that you will automatically have access to the streaming Paramount+ with Showtime because of course not.

Y’all, quit asking David Hyde Pierce about not being on the Frasier reboot; why is it so hard to understand that he just wanted to move on?

Natasha Rothwell is warning us that we are going to need to “buckle up” for season three of The White Lotus, and I believe her.

Wyatt Cenac, who is wonderful and brilliant, wrote an animated Urkel holiday musical, and it got made! And it was supposed to be released on HBO Max in 2022. But then David Zaslav happened. It is available online, unlike a number of other Max titles, thanks to that grinch Zaslav, and it’s called Urkel Saves Santa: The Movie.

Tracy Morgan and Nas just learned they are cousins and this is again one of those moments I wish 30 Rock was still around.

The gremlins got Morning Joe this morning.

Lol, T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach aren’t going to talk about the rumors that their exes are dating on their podcast because “gossip is toxic,” even though their entire podcast is just them gossiping about themselves … or something. These two.

The Bold & The Beautiful’s Krista Allen has taken to Twitter to address her absence on the show for the first time since June. She explained in March that she wasn’t on the show due to a “personal tragedy,” and has not been back on the show since then.

TV Line has all the first-time Daytime Emmy nominees, including Krista Allen above, and the much-missed Sonya Eddy of General Hospital.

Pray for Seth Meyers’ and Dua Lipa’s livers.

OH NO, get well soon, Kate Micucci!

Happy 45th anniversary at The Today Show, Al Roker!

Happy 100th birthday, Bob Barker!

Congratulations to Yellowstone‘s Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison!

And congratulations to Kat Dennings and Andrew W.K.!
