Let it never be said "House, M.D." let something as insignificant as facts get in the way of a brain-tickling mystery. For eight seasons, David Shore's Fox TV drama centered around the weekly cases of the titular, misanthropic, prodigious diagnostician and the team of doctors who spent almost as much time begging him to seek therapy for his assorted traumas as they did helping him diagnose his aggrieved patients. The show's actual medical accuracy ranged all over the place on a scale of remarkably correct to flaming garbage, but you know what? It had a damn effective formula, which provided a framework upon which the series' writers could hang all manner of soapy dramatics.

Although they would eventually escalate things to the level of having House drive his car into the home of his colleague turned ex-girlfriend Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), the "House" writing staff started out simpler with a good old-fashioned will-they-or-won't-they.

"Batman: The Animated Series" is beloved for how accurately it adapted the "Batman" comics. Many consider the series to be the definitive depiction of Gotham City. Yet "Batman" also colored in the margins, where the creators left their own thumbprints.

The series didn't only adapt existing Batman comics and characters. The "Batman" team also introduced a handful of original characters, spicing up the stories they could tell. Some of these original characters were such successes that the comics started adapting them from the show.

Take Gotham police officer Renee Montoya, one of Commissioner Gordon's (Bob Hastings) inner circle. Or Nora Fries, terminally ill wife of the villainous Mr. Freeze. Nora's admittedly more of a plot device, but her presence casts a cloud over Freeze and is the foundation of his brilliant recharacterization.

Some of the other original characters were more sinister. The many illustrious villains of "Batman: The Animated Series...

Image Source: Sony Pictures We love shining a light on movies from the past that may have been overlooked or forgotten, and Nothing in Common (1986) is a perfect example of a film that deserves a second look. Some movies touch on universal truths in ways that linger long after the credits roll. Nothing in Common, directed by the legendary Garry Marshall, is one of those rare, bittersweet treasures. Blending humor and heartbreak, this family dramedy showcases unforgettable performances from comedic icon Jackie Gleason, the elegant Eva Marie Saint, and a young Tom Hanks on the cusp of his Hollywood greatness. The story follows David Basner (Tom Hanks), a rising hotshot in advertising whose life takes an unexpected turn when his parents’ decades-long marriage suddenly ends. David is forced to step into unfamiliar and uncomfortable territory, becoming the reluctant mediator between his feisty, aging father, Max (Jackie Gleason), and his tender yet quietly resilient mother,...

Tom Cavanagh cemented himself as one of the key elements in The Flash’s success throughout its 9-season run. Now, the actor is making his way to the CBS procedural, FBI, as a major character’s spouse.

Per TV Line, Cavanagh has been cast as Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille’s husband, Phillip. Isobel Castille is played by Alana de la Garza, who is a crime procedural veteran, having appeared in four seasons of Law & Order as well as its spinoffs like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, as well as CSI: Miamias Horatio Caine’s wife.

Before USA Network became series-focused, the cable channel delivered a steady stream of weekly original movies. Many of which were produced by McA (now NBCUniversal). And during this era — between the late 1980s and early 2000s — USA offered a variety of genres; action and suspense were the most common, but horror also came up from time to time.

Especially around Halloween.

USA Network is no longer in the business of airing these “World Premiere Movies,” horror or otherwise, and there haven’t been great strides to bring all of them to streaming or modern home video. However, the horror entries certainly have their merits as well as fans.

See if you can remember these original movies from USA Network’s horror history.

The Day After Tomorrow has found success on Netflix's global top 10 chart after 20 years. Hitting theaters in 2004, director Roland Emmerich's The Day After Tomorrow chronicles the onset of a devastating new planetary Ice Age with a story that follows paleoclimatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) as he treks from Washington D.C. to New York City to rescue his stranded son, Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal). The film, which also stars Emmy Rossum, Ian Holm, Sela Ward, and Arjay Smith, was a box office hit, grossing $552.6 million worldwide.

Now, two decades later, new data from Netflix reveals that The Day After Tomorrow ranks as the sixth most popular movie on the streamer globally for the week of September 9 15. The film pulled in an impressive 11.6 million hours viewed and 5.6 million views in total. Though The Day After Tomorrow falls short of titles like Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019), The Deliverance...

While fans are enjoying Dennis Quaid's performance of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan, he has another movie that was released 20 years ago that's making waves on streaming. The Day After Tomorrow, which Quaid stars in alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Dash Mihok, and Sela Ward, has jumped to the #3 spot on Netflix worldwide, falling just short of Rebel Ridge and Hobbs and Shaw. The Day After Tomorrow tells the story of Jack Hall (Quaid), a world renowned paleo climatologist, who must make a daring trek from D.C. to New York to reach his son Sam (Gyllenhaal), who is trapped in a storm that is dooming the world to a new Ice Age. In addition to Quaid, Gyllenhaal, Mihok, and Ward, The Day After Tomorrow also stars Emmy Rossum, Jay O. Sanders, and Austin Nichols, and the film currently sits at a 45% score from critics and a 50% rating from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

The news of Tiffany's exit came shortly after another FBI season 7 cast update announced that Lisette Oliveri would be joining Jubal Valentine's team as a behavioral analyst named Syd. This was a very different type of role than the one Tiffany performed for the team, but the timing of these cast announcements suggests that Syd is a replacement for Tiffany. I'm not surprised, considering the concerning FBI update about the series' plan to rotate cast members to save money, but I'm not happy with the trade-off.

While I'm glad that FBI is breaking a three-year pattern with its latest cast update, the trade-off is disappointing. When FBI was renewed for three years in March, no major cast changes were announced. However, there was speculation about whether Tiffany Wallace (Katherine Renee Kane) would remain with the series after the season 6 ending, which involved her shooting the suspect who killed Agent Hobbs...

Although Eid will stay on board as an executive producer for the foreseeable future, the police procedural is poised to go in a bold new direction led by a new head writer.

Kane will appear in at least one episode in the upcoming season. Hopefully, it'll be a farewell episode that allows fans to say goodbye to Tiffany Wallace in a way that feels true to her story and that potentially leaves the door open for her to come back to the show for guest spots.

After Will Smith missed out on the panned Independence Day sequel, Resurgence, fans remain hopeful the Oscar-winning actor could return for a threequel, should it materialize. However, franchise director Roland Emmerich openly doubts the film series' direction and a Smith comeback.

Speaking with The Playlist, Emmerich was asked about the status of a possible Independence Day 3 and if Smith returning for the third installment was a legitimate possibility. Emmerich offered a frank response, claiming the death of Smith's central character, Captain Steven Hiller, and the franchise's rights situation make it highly unlikely the legendary actor will make another Independence Day movie. Well, yeah. Ive been like, [Wills character] died in number two'. But also, Disney now has the decision to make it, which is even worse, you know, because they never ever did my deal, he said.

The FBI franchise has a high cast turnover, resulting in disappointing final arcs for beloved characters like Scott Forrester. Goodbyes handled poorly with off-screen exits and rushed storylines have left viewers and characters without closure. Departures of key characters like Jess Lacroix and Kenny Crosby could have been handled more satisfactorily onscreen with better story arcs.

The FBI franchise has a bad habit of writing out beloved characters with little thought for viewers invested in their storylines. The original series has kept a good portion of its initial cast intact, with only Sela Ward and Ebone Noel departing early in FBI's run. However, FBI: Most Wanted and FBI: International haven't been nearly as fortunate, experiencing higher cast turnover. In recent years, characters such as Scott Forrester (Luke Kleintank), Kristin Gaines (Alexa Davalos), and many more have exited the FBI franchise.

As a result, the successful connected universe has given countless characters disappointing final arcs.

FBI isn't going anywhere at CBS, as it's picked up a major renewal at the network. Both of the hit show's spinoffs, FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanted, have also been renewed.

Per TVLine, FBI has been renewed for three more seasons at CBS, guaranteeing the show's spot on the network through 2027. FBI: International has also been renewed for Season 4 while FBI: Most Wanted has been renewed for Season 6. The main series remains the most popular, reportedly earning around 9.1 million viewers on average per episode, while Most Wanted and International respectively follow at 7.4 million and 7.2 million.

Fan theory suggests House died in the blaze in the finale, prompting debate about the show's ambiguous ending. Evidence from the episode, including Wilson's hallucinations, supports the theory that House faked his death. Series creator David Shore has confirmed House faked his death, but clues continue to fuel speculation among fans.

Twelve years after House M.D. was canceled by Fox, fans continue to theorize about the fateful series finale. In the mysterious final chapter of the hit medical drama, "Everybody Dies," embattled surgeon Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) fakes his death after waking up in a burning building. The final image of the long-running TV show depicts House and his long-time friend James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) riding off into the sunset together on their motorcycles in a tender moment of comradely love.

Connie Nielsen left FBI after the pilot episode for unknown reasons, leading to her character being replaced by Sela Ward's Dana Mosier.

FBI replaced Connie Nielsen with Sela Ward after its pilot episode, starting a trend of short character arcs in the franchise.

Hit-or-miss directors can still have one truly great movie. Making just one great film is more than most achieve in their entire lives. Some hit-or-miss directors started off with incredible debut movies but failed to recapture that magic in their later career.

Directors like Roland Emmerich, Jamie Babbit, and Simon West have had mixed careers, but their one truly great movie, such as Independence Day, But I'm a Cheerleader, and Con Air, stands out as a significant achievement in their filmography.

This year marks three significant anniversaries for director Andrew Davis. The acclaimed filmmaker burst onto the scene 45 years ago in 1978, making an impressive directorial debut with Stony Island, which recently marked its VOD release after all these years. The inviting film revolved around two friends who attempt to launch an R&b band. Then there’s the 30th anniversary of The Fugitive, which has been fully restored in 4K ultra high-definition format. The Harrison Ford-starring action picture stunned audiences in 1993 with its gripping drama and masterful action sequences. The story drew from the classic 1960s television series about a man wrongly accused of murdering his wife, and also starred Tommy Lee Jones. Finally, there's the 20-year anniversary of Holes, starring a young Shia Labeouf.

It’s been 30 years since Andrew Davis‘ The Fugitive landed in theaters, bringing theatergoers on a nail-biting mission to uncover the truth about Dr. Richard Kimble, a man wrongfully accused of murder. To celebrate the film’s thirty trips around the sun, Davis joins us for a brief and insightful interview regarding his time on The Fugitive, the differences between working alongside Harrison Ford and Steven Seagal, and his expert opinion about the secret to making an excellent TV-to-film adaptation.

Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Julianne Moore, Joe Pantoliano, Andreas Katsulas, and Sela Ward star in The Fugitive, a crime thriller involving a nationwide manhunt led by a seasoned U.S. Marshall (Jones) to discover a woman’s killer.

The most popular movie franchises typically run for multiple installments, with some still going strong today. However, there are also times when franchises start out promising with their potential but unceremoniously end after their sophomore outing. Several reasons contributed to these franchises' sudden pauses, whether because of a lackluster box office reception, critical backlash, or plans for a third movie falling apart.

These hopeful franchises could have kept going, but low reception of the second film or failed attempts at creating a third prevented that from happening. From Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy to The Amazing Spider-Man films starring Andrew Garfield, these franchises pulled the plug after two movies.

Practical effects can create visually powerful and memorable scenes, as demonstrated by the destruction of the White House in Independence Day. The commitment to realism in films like Apollo 13 and Inception, through the use of practical methods instead of CGI, adds authenticity and impact. Filmmakers like Christopher Nolan prioritize tangible artistry and real human energy, ensuring a genuine cinematic experience that surpasses digital tricks.

In today's sci-fi films, fancy CGI and special effects usually steal the spotlight, but not always. Think Marvel Cinematic Universe or Star Wars; two franchises that are all about digital dazzle. But there's a rare breed of sci-fi that doesn't heavily rely on flashy set pieces such as those. Before the advancement of film technologies, many successful films weren’t equipped with CGI capabilities, but still wowed with unique, creative techniques. It's a choice that screams authenticity and adds a dose of creativity and realism to the mix.

Suits is one of the best legal dramas that actually managed to make the profession of lawyer cool again. The USA Network series follows Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who has a photographic memory and joins Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) at a prestigious law firm. The only problem with that is Mike didn’t actually go to law school and he doesn’t have a degree about which he has to lie to everyone.

The director also wasn't a festival darling — he was a genre guy whose biggest claim to fame before "The Fugitive" was two Steven Seagal movies.

"The Fugitive" was financially successful, and even the contemporary reviews were good. But if you haven't seen it — or if you haven't seen it lately — you could be forgiven for wondering why "The Fugitive" wasn't just a hit, but was also nominated for the Academy Award...

Director Andrew Davis has plenty of films to his credit, including the massive family hit Holes and the highly regarded Michael Douglas thriller A Perfect Murder, but he’s more than happy to mostly be known as “the guy who directed The Fugitive.” And no wonder.
