GEORGE AND MANDY'S FIRST MARRIAGE - Season 1 Key Art | ©2025 CBS

CBS’s comedy GEORGE & MANDY’S FIRST MARRIAGE, now on Thursday nights in its first season (with episodes then available on Paramount+ TV), is already renewed for Season 2. The show is a spinoff of CBS’s seven-season hit YOUNG SHELDON, which in turn was spun off from the twelve-season, massively successful THE BIG BANG THEORY. We first met Sheldon Cooper, as played by Jim Parsons, in THE BIG BANG THEORY as a physicist who is as brilliant as he is nerdy. In YOUNG SHELDON, Sheldon is played as a child genius by Iain Armitage. In this series, we get to know […]Read On »

Release Date: March 7, 2025 MICKEY 17, based on Edward Ashton’s 2022 novel MICKEY 7 (Mickey gets ten more lives in the movie), is an agreeable enough science-fiction adventure, even though it seems to be unaware that it is reinventing parts of the wheel and its stabs at dark comedy are frequently heavy-handed. The year is 2056. We meet Mickey 17 (Robert […]Read On »

NOVA - WHAT ARE UFOS key art | ©2025 PBS

According to a 2022 YouGov poll thirty-four percent of Americans believe that UFOs are proof of extraterrestrials visiting Earth. Others believe that these are flying objects that our government won’t (for security reasons) or can’t identify. Still others don’t know what to think. The NOVA documentary WHAT ARE UFOS?, premiering on PBS Wednesday, January 22, also available for streaming on pbs.org/nova, Nova on YouTube, and the PBS app, investigates all of this. During the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour in Pasadena, California, former U.S. Navy Lieutenant and F/A-18F pilot Ryan Graves, producer/ director / writer Terri Randall, NOVA co-executive […]Read On »
