Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

A lot more people watched BravoCon on Peacock this year than the last time it happened in 2023.

(Spoilers for the finale of Bel-Air.) Does future Will tell past Will not to slap Chris Rock at the Oscars, though? 

Here are a bunch of things that streaming services — and all TV writers and producers — could learn from Mad Men.

You can call this Stranger Things phone number. 

Some Stranger Things predictions that might count as mild spoilers. Proceed accordingly.

Your feel-good story of the day: Ricki Lake lost her home and everything she owned to the Los Angeles wildfires in January, but a stranger recently found a box full of pictures of Ricki Lake’s life, including photos of her son as a baby. Ricki has been reunited with the photos.

The Paramount/Netflix fight continues. Now, Paramount is claiming that Netflix is overvaluing the Discovery side of the deal, which doesn’t seem like a winning argument to me, but then again, how many boards of directors am I on, right?

Oh, and have I mentioned that Jared Kushner is mixed up in all of this? Because of course he is.

Remember: this is the endgame.

I hear ya, Rachel, and I agree, but have you seen the people who are running Paramount and CBS now?

David Letterman has spoken: Jimmy Kimmel is “the leader of the resistance.”

To be fair, TMZ, Nick Fuentes never said he was a “virgin.” He just said he had never had sex with a woman.

I genuinely hope that Andy Dick gets the help he so desperately needs. 

Get well soon, Jeff Garcia.

Alright, Zach Woods, I was unaware of your game, sir.
