If you have been a fan of Kaley Cuoco since meeting her on 8 Simple Rules or The Big Bang Theory, you're going to be over the moon about the latest news about the Emmy-nominated star's next television role. Following the unfortunate cancellation of her underrated Peacock comedy-mystery series Based on a True Story, Cuoco has already set her next project at Amazon.

Back in March, Cuoco boarded the mystery thriller series Vanished, and the series officially has a release window and a streaming home. On May 6, Deadline reported that Amazon officially picked up the rights to the new series in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Prime Video will release the series in 2026.

Obviously, there's a glaring omission in the territories where Amazon snagged the rights. What about the United States? That hasn't been announced quite yet, but it's extremely likely that Vanished will wind up...

Kaley Cuoco has been a steady presence on our TV screens for decades at this point, and when one show goes away, it doesn’t take long for her to find a new show to star in. She was in the sitcom 8 Simple Rules, which ran from 2002 to 2005, then moved on to the sitcom The Big Bang Theory, which ran from 2007 to 2019. She followed that with the comedy thriller show The Flight Attendant, 2020 to 2022, and then the dark comedy show Based on a True Story, which aired in 2023 and 2024. Now, Variety reports that she has signed on to star in a mystery thriller series called Vanished, which is scheduled to begin filming on April 28th. Locations will include Paris and Marseilles.

Cuoco is joined in the cast by Sam Claflin (Daisy Jones & The Six), Karin Viard (The Bélier Family), and Matthias Schweighöfer (Army of the Dead). The show will...

Kaley Cuoco isn't waiting around for a Based on a True Story renewal announcement. The fan-favorite actor has been tapped to lead a new television series titled Vanished.

According to Deadline, the Based on a True Story actor will lead the forthcoming suspense drama series, which AGC Television is launching sales for this week at Series Mania in Lille. Also attached to the television project are The Hunger Games alum Sam Claflin, three-time Cesar winner Karin Viard, and Army of the Dead star Matthias Schweighöfer. Filming on Vanished is set to begin at the end of April in Paris and Marseilles with Barnaby Thompson in the director's chair.

Vanished was created by David Hilton and Preston Thompson. The logline for the suspense drama series reads as follows: "When a romantic getaway to Paris takes a dark turn with the sudden disappearance of her boyfriend Tom (Claflin) aboard a train to the south of France,...

When "NCIS" premiered on CBS during the fall television season of 2003 (initially as "Navy: NCIS), there was good reason to expect it would be a solid performer for the network. Created by noted TV hitmaker Donald P. Bellisario and Don McGill, the military procedural entered the marketplace during a moment of extreme war hawkishness in the United States, which was taking out its 9/11 frustrations on Iraq for reasons we now know were extremely dubious. Many viewers were amped up about anything relating to Americans in uniform, and they already loved crime-of-the-week dramas, so surely this would hit one if not both sweet spots.

"NCIS" also had the good fortune to land prime Tuesday night real estate at 8 Pm, where ABC and NBC were struggling to make some direly unfunny sitcoms work (like "8 Simple Rules" and "Whoopi"). The WB had solid niche performer "Gilmore Girls," while Fox would have the...

The Big Bang Theory is one of the most popular and iconic sitcoms of modern television. It lasted for an impressive 12 seasons, running from 2007 to 2019. The Big Bang Theory follows a group of nerdy, socially awkward friends and coworkers, along with their one really hot friend across the hall. We're talking, of course, about the waitress and aspiring actress, Penny.

Could there be an on-screen reunion for Home Improvement father and son duo Tim Allen and Jonathan Taylor Thomas in the works? Don't count it out. Allen, whose latest sitcom, Shifting Gears, premiered on January 8, said "everything is a possibility" when speaking to US Weekly about potentially sharing the screen with Thomas again for his latest project. Allen and Thomas famously co-starred on Home Improvement for 8 seasons from 1991 to 1999. The two reunited again in 2013 for the Allen led-Last Man Standing, with Thomas appearing in four episodes (from 2013 to 2015) and directing three.

"Everything is a possibility. He just came back [to the last episode we filmed]. He showed up on the set. He's literally my kid. I raised that kid for eight years on Home Improvement. All of these are my kids, and I'm kind of sick about this."

Allen's last statement seems to reference his Home Improvement co-star, Zachery Ty Bryan, who portrayed oldest sibling, Brad.

For years now, Kaley Cuoco has been making viewers laugh with her varied roles in television and film, The Big Bang Theory being among her most well-known. In it, she played Penny, the sarcastic but lovable neighbor of Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons). As popular as The Big Bang Theory was – and how it launched her into superstardom – it’s actually not the show that gave Cuoco her big break. That honor belongs to the sitcom 8 Simple Rules, in which Kaley Cuoco first got to test out her comedic chops.

The Big Bang Theory is one of the best and most popular sitcoms of modern television. The geeky, Pasadena version of Friends or Seinfeld, this series follows a group of nerdy, socially awkward friends and coworkers -- and their one really hot friend across the hall. We're talking, of course, about Penny, the waitress and aspiring actress who's played by Kaley Cuoco. The Big Bang Theory ran for an impressive 12 seasons, an eternity in TV land, running from 2007 to 2019. (What would Sheldon have thought about the Covid-19 pandemic? We wonder).

The show's tremendous success birthed an entire franchise, which includes the prequel series Young Sheldon and its spin-off series about Sheldon's older brother, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. A fourth series is reportedly in development for Max, which will thrust supporting character Stuart into the spotlight and will follow him, his girlfriend Denise, and geologist Bert Kibbler.

Dreaming of a Young Penny spinoff? Hate to break it to you, folks, but it’s never going to happen — and Kaley Cuoco low-key already beat us to it. While The Big Bang Theory had us rooting for Leonard and Sheldon’s quirks, Penny brought the heart and hilarity. But the idea of a spin-off focused on her pre-Pasadena days? That ship sailed faster than Penny running out of wine.

Turns out, Cuoco’s already given us a sneak peek into her young Penny energy with a chaotic, unpredictable vibe. So, if you’re holding out for Penny’s Nebraska misadventures, it’s time to accept the truth. Cuoco’s already delivered the goods — just not in the way anyone expected.

Television has been a dominant medium for the American audience for quite some time. We have always enjoyed watching sitcoms with gripping storylines, punchline comedies, and amazing star casts. Over the years, many actors have made their careers from sitcoms and created a path for themselves in films. In fact, many of the shows became historical and popular in their own unique way.

But have you ever thought about how much the sitcom actors have earned for their day-to-day job? Well, over the years, the actors have gone from earning thousands to millions including inflation. We have done some digging and curated a list of 10 sitcom actors who have been paid the highest. In this article, we have ranked the highest-paid sitcom actors based on their net worths.

Actress Kaley Cuoco recently opened up about the passing of her dog Shirley. In a recent post on social media, she revealed that she had to place Shirley in another home. Through the post, she also revealed a few details about Shirley’s death and final years.

Kaley Cuoco Explained What Shirley’s Final Years Were Like

Cuoco first came to prominence as Bridget Hennessy on the sitcom 8 Simple Rules. However, for many, her breakout role would be playing Penny on The Big Bang Theory. Some of the actress’ other notable roles include the witch Billie Jenkins on Charmed and voicing the title role in the animated Harley Quinn series.

This past Sunday, the actress opened up about a recent loss. Cuoco’s dog, Shirley, had recently died of cancer.

As she shared in an Instagram Reel, Cuoco discussed how Shirley had to leave her home shortly before her death.

The Big Bang Theory universe can no longer do a Young Penny spinoff because Kaley Cuoco has already done something similar. Unlike the usual reason for cancelations, CBS ended The Big Bang Theory not because of the lack of interest from the public. Instead, it wrapped up its run because Jim Parsons decided to leave the show as Sheldon Cooper. Luckily, Chuck Lorre and the rest of the team found a way to continue capitalizing on The Big Bang Theory's popularity with Young Sheldon, which tackled Sheldon's childhood in Texas before moving to California.

After The Big Bang Theory's finale in 2019, the franchise thrived for five more years with Young Sheldon. What started as supplementary viewing for the nerd-centric sitcom ended up being a hit show on its own, as Sheldon and the rest of the family immediately became fan-favorites. The prequel differentiated itself from its parent...

The cast of Peacock's Based on a True Story gives stellar performances, particularly the two leads playing characters involved in a true-crime podcast. The comedy thriller tells the story of a couple who decide to directly profit from a serial killer in their area by starting a podcast about him. To make the show unique, the podcasters choose to interview the murderer with the agreement that he does not kill anyone else while doing the podcast. The series forces viewers to examine where the line is between entertainment and exploitation.

Despite its heavy central question, Based on a True Story maintains a lighthearted tone throughout the show. The actors help achieve this balance between serious thriller and dark comedy approaches to the story. One of the main actors, Kaley Cuoco, performs well in her role due to her own passion for true-crime content (via Glamour). Along with Cuoco, the cast...

Sometimes, if you want something done, you've got to do it yourself. And since Hollywood is allergic to making comedies anymore, veteran deadpan imp David Spade and podcast empresario Theo Von have joined forces to bring a genre back from the brink of extinction. Their project, Busboys, was written, produced, and self-financed by the two comedians, and will start production early next year. Spade spoke with Deadline about the project, saying:

"We are looking forward to gracing everyone with this comedy that no one asked for."

With a career that spans over 30 years, we take a look back at the former SNL star's greatest movies and rank them.

Kaley Cuoco's crime show has debuted with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score for season 2. While she has many credits to her name, Cuoco is best known for playing Penny in all 12 seasons of The Big Bang Theory, in which she brought many of the funniest and most heartfelt scenes to life throughout the CBS sitcom's run. Penny's friendship with Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) became a particularly celebrated element of the series. Prior to The Big Bang Theory, Cuoco played Bridget Hennessy in the ABC sitcom 8 Simple Rules.

After The Big Bang Theory ended, Cuoco starred in and produced HBO's The Flight Attendant. The series blended elements of dark comedy and drama as Cuoco's complex character, Cassie Bowden, worked to solve mysterious murders while navigating her own struggles with alcoholism. Cuoco has also voiced Harley Quinn in the popular adult animated series of the same name since 2019, and starred...

John Peaslee, the writer and producer who worked alongside his longtime creative partner, Judd Pillot, on such sitcoms as Coach, Just Shoot Me!, According to Jim and Liv and Maddie, has died. He was 73.

Peaslee died Monday of natural causes at his home in Sherman Oaks, Pillot announced. The two had collaborated for 35 years.

“I will be forever thankful to the universe that I was with him for several hours that day, that I was able to hold his hand, recount all the stories — way too many to tell, but not nearly enough to fill the hole in my heart,” Pillot wrote on Instagram.

Peaslee and Pillot teamed on ABC’s Coach from 1989-93, on NBC’s Just Shoot Me! from 2002-03, on ABC’s According to Jim from 2005-09 and on Disney Channel’s Liv and Maddie from 2013-17.

The pair also created ABC’s A Whole New Ballgame,...

Before her tenure in The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco was notable for her stint in 8 Simple Rules, in which she starred opposite sitcom icon John Ritter, who played Cuoco’s onscreen father Paul. However, their bond wasn’t confined to their gigs on the show, as Cuoco has continued to gush about her time with the actor, who tragically passed away in 2003.

Although her connection with Ritter would come in handy during one guest star’s appearance in The Big Bang Theory, Cuoco wasn’t the lone Tbbt cast that shared a personal bond with the TV legend.

Before the two met on the set of the Chuck Lorre-led show, it seems Kaley Cuoco and Simon Helberg had already met once, courtesy of John Ritter.

During the 12 season run of "The Big Bang Theory," the audience meet the main characters' parents and extended families from time to time — and those parents and family members are usually played by some pretty big performers. Laurie Metcalf plays Mary Cooper, mother to Jim Parsons' Sheldon Cooper, and Tony and Emmy Award winner Christine Baranski also shows up a few times as Leonard's mother Dr. Beverly Hofstadter. Penny's (Kaley Cuoco) parents are played by Katey Sagal (in a nod to Cuoco and Sagal's sitcom "8 Simple Rules") and Keith Carradine.

So, what about Howard Wolowitz, played by Simon Helberg? We hear his mother Mrs. Wolowitz off-screen — she's voiced by Carol Ann Susi, who passed away in 2014, as did the character — but we never meet his dad. According to Jessica Radloff's book "The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive,...

Jason Ritter has a very specific impression of his late father’s iconic Three’s Company character in his repertoire.

Three’s Company premiered on ABC in March 1977, and ran a total of eight seasons.

Disney’s long-expected move to fold ABC Signature into 20th Television brings to an end the media conglom’s in-house TV studio, which started off as Touchstone Television a decade before Disney bought ABC, subsequently being renamed ABC Studios and more recently ABC Signature.

Launched in 1985, Touchstone TV’s first major hit was Golden Girls, which ran on NBC for seven seasons. Other successful series from that era include Blossom, also for NBC, and Home Improvement, Ellen and Boy Meets World for ABC.

In the first years after ABC became part of Disney, Touchstone Television continued to sell to all networks — which is how 20th Television operated for its entire run at Fox — with shows such as Felicity and Popular for the WB and The PJs for Fox/WB.

The studio gradually shifted its attention to its own network, supplying it with series such as Once And Again, My Wife And Kids,...

Kaley Cuoco has had an impressive career, primarily on television, and she has the significant net worth that comes with a filmography like hers. While most TV fans will have first come to know Cuoco via her performance as Penny Hofstadter in The Big Bang Theory, she actually had some notable successes before that culture-shifting TV series. Cuoco had main roles in shows like Ladies Man, 8 Simple Rules, and Charmed, all of which came before The Big Bang Theory. Cuoco has also had plenty of success post-The Big Bang Theory as well.

Since the CBS sitcom, Kaley Cuoco has starred in The Flight Attendant, Harley Quinn, and Based on a True Story. She was nominated for three Golden Globe Awards, Emmys, and SAGs. During The Big Bang Theory, Cuoco quietly dated her co-star Johnny Galecki for two years. She then dated addiction specialist Josh Resnik, then professional tennis player Ryan Sweeting,...

The Big Bang Theory presented a stunning ensemble of actors. But in the world of television, where shows are premiered every now and then, comparisons are inevitable. The same happened to Tbbt as well in a past interview. Interestingly, the show was being compared to the likes of other sitcoms such as Three’s Company and Friends.

But while Johnny Galecki welcomed the Friends comparisons, he looked quite annoyed when Tbbt was compared with the John Ritter starrer.

After Friends ended in 2004, people thought for the longest time that no other show could level up to the benchmark it had created in the genre. But The Big Bang Theory, released in 2007, shifted that perspective to a good extent. Fans will have their own...

The second season for the live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s world-famous manga One Piece continues production and is still adding to its cast. Recently, Mark Harelik of Presumed Innocent was announced to have joined the cast and will be playing a character that almost shares his last name, Dr. Hiriluk. It was also recently revealed that despite her best efforts, Jamie Lee Curtis‘ lobbying for Dr. Kureha would not be accomplished and the role would go to former Married…with Children, Futurama, 8 Simple Rules, Sons of Anarchy, and The Conners star Katy Sagal.

Variety has now reported that Sendhil Ramamurthy, known for the NBC series Heroes as well as Heroes Reborn, has now joined the cast of season 2 as Nefertari Cobra. In One Piece, Nefertari Cobra is known as the King of Alabasta and is the patriarch of the Nefertari family. Ramamurthy can be seen recently starring on...

Katey Sagal and Mark Harelik have been cast in “One Piece” Season 2, Variety has learned.

Netflix made the announcement on their social channels on Wednesday. Sagal will play Dr. Kureha, while Harelik will play Dr. Hiriluk in the live-action adaptation of the popular manga series.

They will appear alongside fellow new Season 2 cast members Daniel Lasker, Camrus Johnson, Jazzara Jaslyn, David Dastmalchian, Werner Coetser, Brendan Murray, Clive Russell, Callum Kerr, Julia Rehwald, Rob Colletti, and Ty Keogh.

Sagal is known for her starring roles in shows like “Sons of Anarchy,” “Married…With Children,” “8 Simple Rules,” and “The Conners.” She is also known for lending her voice to the character Leela in the popular animated series “Futurama,” which was recently revived at Hulu.

Season 2 of Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s world-famous manga One Piece (you can read our 6/10 review of the first season Here) is already a couple months deep into its production, and one character that fans have been eagerly looking forward to seeing in the new episodes is Dr. Kureha. Many were also hoping to see Jamie Lee Curtis bring the character to life, and Curtis let it be known that she would be lobbying to play the part… but it didn’t work out. Deadline reports that Curtis wasn’t able to fit the show into her schedule, since working on it would have required her to spend a couple of months in South Africa, where filming is taking place. So instead of Curtis, the role has gone to Katey Sagal, who is best known for the roles she has played on Married… with Children, 8 Simple Rules,...

Actress Kaley Cuoco has been around in the entertainment industry for over three decades, earning acclaim with shows like 8 Simple Rules and achieving further prominence with The Big Bang Theory and The Flight Attendant.

However, leading the latter along with serving as the executive producer, proved to be incredibly stressful and tormented her, as she described it as one of the hardest years of her life even causing her to opt for therapy for the first time ever.

The Big Bang Theory has been one of the biggest and the most popular projects of the Emmy-nominated actress Kaley Cuoco. Starring her in the role of the quirky neighbor of Sheldon and Leonard, the series not only became a household name but also one of the highest-paid TV actors in the industry.

However, things weren’t so straightforward for her when it came to landing the role of Penny in the sitcom. Cuoco auditioned three times for the role and was rejected twice. However, the actress didn’t back down and her persistence ultimately paid off as she landed the part in Chuck Lorre’s hit sitcom.

Kaley Cuoco Reflected on Perseverance and Career Turning Points

Talking about The Big Bang Theory and her role in the sitcom in an interview with TVLine, Kaley Cuoco shared one piece of advice drawing from her own experiences and career trajectory.

Known for portraying the beloved character Penny in the long-running sitcom The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco once opened up about her career journey. Starting her acting career at a young age, she gained recognition in shows like 8 Simple Rules and Charmed.

While the CBS sitcom established her among some of the most acclaimed and popular TV stars in the industry, it still failed to reach the significant milestone that she later earned through the mystery comedy-drama The Flight Attendant.

Kaley Cuoco Reflected on Success With The Flight Attendant

Following a successful 12-year run with The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco led the Max mystery drama The Flight Attendant. However, the actress was initially skeptical about transitioning from an ensemble to being the sole focus of the show.

In a 2022 interview with Glamour, the actress said,...

Three years before starring in The Big Bang Theory, which would make her a TV sensation following her portrayal of Penny in the acclaimed show, Kaley Cuoco got herself breast implants. Not only did it help in making the 8 Simple Rules star feel more secure about her body, but it also contributed to making the actress a sitcom bombshell.

Moreover, The Flight Attendant star hasn’t shied away from bringing attention to the plastic surgeries she has undergone over the years and stressed that it’s the best decision she ever made.

While the actress has since moved on to new roles in shows like The Flight Attendant and Harley Quinn, she still fondly remembers her time on the sitcom. And one of the things that she missed the most was the unique challenge and energy of working with Chuck Lorre’s creative process.

The Big Bang Theory has significantly contributed to the careers of the huge star cast that worked in it. Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, and the others earned massive numbers and even rose to insane fame after the show. However, another popular child actor could also have become a major name in TV industry, had he not rejected the CBS show- Macaulay Culkin.

The actor, who has been a household name after his work in the first two Home Alone films, was also offered a role in The Big Bang Theory. According to Macaulay Culkin, the first pitch was so weird that he was convinced to reject it not once, but thrice. But interestingly, Culkin does not feel sorry to pass on the role.

In 2019, Don Cheadle received his ninth career Emmy nomination for his work on the first season of Showtime’s “Black Monday.” Although he ultimately came up short in that year’s Best Comedy Actor race, he still made history as the 12th man to compete in that category as the star of multiple series, having previously earned four bids for the same network’s “House of Lies.” Scroll through our photo gallery to find out who else belongs to this special group.

Seven of the dozen actors on this roster took the gold for at least one of their nominated roles. This includes Richard Mulligan and Michael J. Fox, who each won for two series (“Soap” and “Empty Nest”; “Family Ties” and “Spin City”). Also listed is John Ritter (“Three’s Company”; “Hooperman”; “8 Simple Rules”), who remains the only three-show nominee in the history of either comedy lead category.

After much speculation and reporting of behind-the-scenes conflict, Kevin Costner confirms he won't return for Yellowstone season 5 part 2. Costner took to social media to explain his decision not to return to the show moving forward.

Yellowstone star Kevin Costner explains his decision to exit the show, sending a message to fans on social media. The final episodes of Yellowstone are on track for a November 10 premiere, as the Western drama recently began production. But the involvement of Costner, and whether or not he'll reprise the pivotal role of John Dutton, has remained an open after the Oscar-winning actor's very public feud with franchise creator Taylor Sheridan over reported issues such as scheduling and script approval. Costner has now put that speculation to rest.

Costner took to Instagram to explain why he won't return for Yellowstone season 5 part 2. While mentioning his upcoming film Horizon: An American Saga, which arrives in theaters on June 28 in the U.

The transition from reality star to a serious actress on Great News was challenging but rewarding for Nicole Richie. Despite the cancellation of Great News, Richie earned respect for her acting skills. While her acting career slowed after the show, Richie remains optimistic about finding the right role to connect with.

The announcement of Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton's mysterious new reality show had Millenials fluttering. While many were curious about where Hilton and Richie stand today, most were just excited to see them back together after The Simple Life. While Hilton is for sure the more successful of the two, Richie has had a pretty varied career. This includes showing off some serious acting skills in her short-lived NBC sitcom, Great News.

Nicole Richie starred as co-anchor on a local news show and absolutely stole the series. Great News showed Richie as more than a reality star with a history of weight issues.

If you’re not caught up on your peak TV viewing, consider this your spoiler warning. Four months have passed since Jennifer Coolidge bagged her second consecutive Emmy for “The White Lotus” and thus became the eighth drama or comedy series regular honored by the TV academy for a season in which her character died. Emmy nominations of this kind have become quite common in recent years, and it’s possible that over 15% of the 2024 lead and supporting continuing series contenders will be added to the list.

The current consensus among more than 2,400 Gold Derby users is that five continuing series performers whose characters perished within the past year will receive Emmy nominations, while a few others have outside shots at recognition. This does not include characters like Anakin Skywalker who died before their shows’ latest seasons began but appear as ghosts or in flashbacks. Undead characters like most of...

Kaley Cuoco Honors Late Co-Star Who Kept Everyone Laughing

Viewers may best know Kaley Cuoco as Penny from The Big Bang Theory or from The Flight Attendant but her career spans more than that. The thirty-eight-year-old animal enthusiast appeared on 7th Heaven and the series Ladies Man. She was then cast as Bridget in 8 Simple Rules alongside Katey Sagal and John Ritter, two legends in the sitcom world.

Exclusive: Kurt Sutter and Katey Sagal have teamed up for their first podcast, Pie. People. Influences. Experiences. The program will start April 2, available on all podcast players and YouTube.

They describe Pie as an intimate parlor conversation exploring the ingredients that “baked up” each guest. It is a respectful, deep dive into nature and nurture — family, faith, friends, hometowns, schooling, mentors, tormentors, etc. It will be the heart-to-heart chat that gives us some authentic insight into each guest’s personal and professional choices — in the arts, athletics, healthcare, politics, etc.

I can testify that between them, this couple can cover a healthy span of topics. A few years back, I convinced Sutter to co-live blog the Emmys for Deadline. Only when I arrived at their home did I learn that Kurt had been so busy as the writer, director and producer of my fave FX series Sons of Anarchy, that...

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was a major moment in vampire media, but the show didn't limit itself to fanged heartthrobs. Buffy fought her fair share of demons and deities, but there was one type of villain that kept popping up throughout the hit series' seven seasons — robots. Probably the most memorable robot in the show is the Buffybot, a robot girlfriend commissioned by bad-boy vamp Spike to quench his unrequited crush. But before Buffybot, the android that started it all was Ted.

Ted is, by all appearances, your run-of-the-mill middle-aged man from suburbia, and he's dating Buffy's mom in the season 2 episode "Ted." He manages to win all of her friends over, but Buffy isn't having it. As it turns out, her suspicions are proven correct — Ted was a killer robot all along.

The robot is played by John Ritter, who was best known for the long-running sitcoms "Three's Company" and,...

"Good night, John-Boy. Good night, Elizabeth. And good night, daddy. Good night, son. And good night, mama. Good night, Mary Ellen. Good night, Jim Bob." Even if you've never watched a single moment of the classic TV show "The Waltons," the impact the series has had on television continues on even to this day. With the series' roots stemming back all the way to one of the most hated episodes of "The Twilight Zone" in history, references to "The Waltons" have extended all the way to films like 2016's "The Nice Guys," where Matt Bomber's villainous Dr. Malek is given the code name "John Boy" as he shares a similar facial birthmark to John-Boy actor Richard Thomas.

Created by Earl Hamner Jr., "The Waltons" centered on the titular family in rural Virginia during the Great Depression and World War II, based on Hamner Jr.'s book "Spencer's Mountain." With a...

Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 classic "The Birds" is a staple of Hollywood cinema, and it had to age a bit to earn its spot in the canon. The film only earned one Oscar nomination for special effects, but it is easily one of the most well-remembered works in the accomplished director's oeuvre. Almost half a century has passed since the film's release and many of its main actors are no longer with us. Most of them went on to have storied careers, some of them were already established figures of the entertainment industry, but unfortunately only two of them are still alive today.

Her character Melanie barely survives "The Birds," but Tippi Hedren is one of two stars in the film that has lived to see the 2020s. Hedren worked with Hitchcock again on his thriller "Marnie," but did not have much of a career afterwards. She did go on to...

Futurama's original intention was to cast Charles Schlatter and Nicole Sullivan as Fry and Leela, but Billy West and Katey Sagal ended up being the perfect fit. Despite confusion surrounding the change in casting, West and Sagal delivered committed and hilariously dedicated performances throughout Futurama's 11 seasons. While it's unclear why the recasting occurred, the decision ultimately paid off, as evidenced by Futurama's enduring success and the return of the show for season 11.

At the start of Futurama's complicated but critically acclaimed run, two of the series' most important characters were quietly recast. Amid a history of cancelations, revivals, and syndication, Futurama has persisted as a favorite among adult animation shows and was awarded with many prominent award nominations. Futurama is attributed to the mind of The Simpsons' star creator Matt Groening, but all of Futurama's working parts can assume responsibility for the series' iconic status and undeniable success.

Months after his life was suddenly cut short, Emmy winner Leslie Jordan has a chance to receive more TV academy love for his final small screen performance as Phil on Fox’s “Call Me Kat.” If he does land in this year’s Best Comedy Supporting Actor lineup, he will join a group of 12 other comedy or drama series regulars who posthumously achieved Emmy recognition. If he scores his second victory, he will make history as the first deceased male actor to win an Emmy for a continuing program.

“Call Me Kat” was the first and only multi-season series on which Jordan played a regular role. In his last few episodes, his character, who worked as the head baker at a Kentucky cat cafe, finally found true love with drag performer Jalen, aka Queen Dicktoria (John Griffin). Following his final appearance, Phil was given a happy ending that involved him...
