We close out The Greatest Television Programs of the 21st Century with the top 25 including Fleabag, The West Wing, Atlanta, Better Call Saul, Andor, I May Destroy You, Battlestar Galactica and The Underground Railroad but what series will be #1? theplaylist.net/the-greatest...

at the Italian Global Series Festival in Riccione and Rimini and um, yes networks you should send your talent

Paramount announces that Mobland has been renewed for season 2 after hitting 26 million global viewers in its inaugural season that makes it the #2 highest original series ever on Paramount+ right behind Landman a nice non-Sheridan hit for P+

Nothing like getting off a 14 hour flight with no WiFi and discovering the chaos president may have plunged us into WW3

I like Ginger Minj. She's talented. She 100% should not have done All Stars 10...for her own sake.

I will never understand how NYC continually fucks up its mayoral elections

I don't know how they did it, but Kesha's show at the Forum was about 80% empty a month ago. Close to sold out now.

Charlie Booker keeps the door open for a third 'USS Callister' adventure, ponders whether he'll ever sit in the director's chair, praises Paul Giamatti's work in 'Eulogy,' explained the inspiration for 'Hotel Reverie,' reveals whether more 'Black Mirror' episodes are in the works, and much more

Sinners arrives to stream on Max on July 4

Future Emmy nominee Philip Barantini on how Owen Cooper's remarkable talents, finding that town to shoot Adolescence in and how they were never, ever, going to fake the one-shot #Emmys theplaylist.net/philip-baran...

game 7, damn

Caught up with Michelle Visage to talk about the #DragRace S17 queens, the badonkadonk tank, how she usually knows who will make it to the end, and why drag is more important than during the first Trump administration theplaylist.net/drag-race-mi...

Congrats Laker fans - Buss family giving up control better for franchise than Luka trade

Good second half trailer, but putting the "Springsteen:" at the beginning of the title is gonna hurt it award-wise wise www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQXd...

The countdown of the Greatest Television Programs of the 21st Century with No. 50-26 as The Crown, Friday Night Lights, Angels In America, Hacks, Barry, Girls, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, and more make the list (yes, HBO is a big trend) theplaylist.net/the-greatest...

The downtown curfew is over! Go support DTLA businesses this week and weekend!

The Governors Awards will be an extremely hot ticket this year as Tom Cruise and Dolly Parton earn honorary Oscars. Wynn Thomas is beyond overdue for recognition but...Debbie Allen? I dunno... #Oscars

If you're paying attention to the box office at all... How To Train Your Dragon overperformed estimates, coming in at 84.6 million for a $198 million global gross The Materialists came in a bit under at $11.3 million

If you're a fan of The Pitt, you'll be happy to know production began today on season two in Burbank. Exteriors will be shot on location in Pittsburgh. Always intended as a show that could be depended on to have new episodes every year, unlike other HBO shows, Season two will drop in January 2026.

Caught up with Seth Rogen to talk The Studio, and we go deep on the now classic "The Oner" episode, getting Sarah Polley to act for the first time in 15 years, how doctors can be a-holes, and no, industry friends, the goal was not to give you PTSD #Emmys

Lynne Ramsey's Die My Love with Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson will drop on Nov. 7 in the U.S. right in the middle of awards season...as expected

Hey Hollywood stars who had been sorta quiet the past few months but showed up at rallies today we see you ignore your publicists, do the good work, your voices amplify

death, taxes... ...and the LAPD gonna LAPD

Love you LA #NoKings vid by incredible @yakooza

B- CinemaScore for The Matrialists. That's what happens when you market your very good film as something (a romcom) that it isn't. A24 is gonna make money on it, and Celine will have a hit, but I'm not sure this is a good long-term strategy....

We continue our ranking of the Greatest Television Programs of the 21st Century with No. 75 to 51 and classics such as Homeland, 24, The Queen's Gambit, The Daily Show, Will & Grace, Survivor, Saturday Night Live, Parks and Recreation, Ramy, Squid Game, and more theplaylist.net/the-greatest...

the first concept image from Gatto, a new Pixar movie from the filmmaking team behind “Luca,” director Enrico Casarosa and producer Andrea Warren, is coming in 2027

Peacock announced the cast of The Traitors season 4, and I hate it. There is a decided drop in "gamers," two actors, a Taylor Swift ploy, and one additional Real Housewife. We see you Andy Cohen, you were pissed they all got voted out early last time. Happy for Monet, at least. Your full cast:

In happier news and perhaps a moment of resistance... Andor led the Nielsen viewing chart for the week its final episodes dropped Not just the originals list, the OVERALL list Pay attention, Emmy voters

six months in we are six months in imagine 12 months from now

Emmy voting is here, and we now know that only three programs will be nominated in the Outstanding Talk Series category due to just 13 submissions That's down from 4 noms last year and the traditional 5 the years previous Who makes it, who doesn't?

We are a quarter of the way into the 21st Century...it's time to begin ranking The Greatest Television Programs of the 21st Century, and we begin with #100 to #76, which includes Pen15, The Good Wife, Big Little Lies, The Handmaid's Tale, True Detective, and more theplaylist.net/the-greatest...

Love the Telluride poster this year

this is illeagal

Cannes announces its 2006 dates: May 12-May 23

Tyler Perry's Straw starring Taraji P. Henson dominated the Netflix English-language movie charts this week with 25.3 million views Strange choice by Netflix to drop this after Emmy qualifying in a wide-open TV movie category. Mixed reviews, but Taraji would have carried it and she earned raves

The Sphere in Las Vegas is adding the original The Wizard of Oz to its offerings in August Cheapest tickets to see the film on the Sphere's gigantic screen are... ...$138* *Ticketmaster fee included

Kaitlyn Dever via Australia at the calm and peaceful The Last of Us FYC event in Los Angeles tonight #Emmys

Bella Ramsey at the Last of Us FYC event tonight in calm and peaceful Los Angeles #Emmys

oh boy, had my own very liberal father ask if everything was OK in LA. That tells you how bad the media is covering this. I'm literally going to an Emmy event for The Last of Us tonight. Gyms are open. People are going to the movies and hiking in Griffith Park. Don't need no Marines.

Trump is gonna get Karen Bass re-elected wild

The power of Cole Escola? The appeal of Cynthia Erivo? The Tony Awards ratings were up 38% to 4.85M viewers. Highest in six years. Continuing the trend of awards shows ratings increasing...

So you're telling me the merger of Warner Bros and low-brow Discovery Networks, which everyone would say would never work... ...didn't work, and now are going to be two separate companies? well, guess they paid off enough of that debt

First saw the new How To Train Your Dragon at CinemaCon. I had to see it again over a month later to make sure I wasn't crazy. A live-action remake that's actually...good? Mason Thames making Hiccup his own? HIccup, Toothless, and that John Powell score? I mean, that's movie magic. My review:
