29 Years Ago, The Most Controversial Animated Series in History Premiered & Killed A Main Character For The 1st of 127 Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almost three decades ago this week, one of the most iconic cartoon comedy shows in small screen history debuted with a grisly gag that the series then repeated over a hundred times before it was retired. It is sometimes tough to understand just how much the success of The Simpsons reshaped TV history. Even saying that Family Guy, American Dad, King of the Hill, Bob’s Burgers, Big Mouth, BoJack Horseman, Smiling Friends, and Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty wouldn’t exist without the show doesn’t quit
22 Years Ago, Two Iconic Sci-Fi Monsters Finally Fought In A "Spectacularly Stupid" Crossover That Defied Critics & Dominated the Box Office (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Although the Alien and Predator franchises finally had a long-awaited crossover in 2004, the resulting sci-fi horror mashup was only a success at the box office. If there’s one term guaranteed to send a chill down the spine of even the most forgiving ’00s horror fan, it is “action horror.” While fond memories of Brendan Fraser’s The Mummy movies might have convinced some fairweather fans that this sub genre wasn’t so bad, those of us who were around for the heyday of action horror know the truth
Cartoons Changed Forever 29 Years Ago, With a Raunchy Series Premiere That Set Up 339 Episodes of Easter Eggs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While some of the biggest cartoons on television and streaming are unapologetically R-rated, one iconic cult classic paved the way for this some 19 years ago. It is tough to overstate the role that the success of The Simpsons played in pop culture history. After over 800 episodes and 37 seasons, The Simpsons is the longest-running scripted primetime American TV show in history, the longest-running American sitcom, and the longest-running animated comedy ever. Without it, the entire adult animati
32 Years Later, Brendan Fraser and Adam Sandler's Cult Comedy Needs a 2026 Sequel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Although Brendan Fraser and Adam Sandler‘s early-career comedy movie flopped upon release, this nostalgic ’90s classic now needs a belated sequel thanks to their shared career success. In 1994, it would have been hard to guess whether Adam Sandler or Brendan Fraser would go on to become the bigger Hollywood star. Sandler had been a Saturday Night Live regular for three years at that stage, but his breakthrough hit movies Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, and Billy Madison were all years away. F
The Big Bang Theory Spinoff Just Brought Bernadette Back in the Perfect Episode With A Major Dig At Hollywood (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While The Big Bang Theory‘s HBO Max spinoff brought back Melissa Rauch’s Bernadette in its third outing, viewers might be surprised to learn that the sci-fi comedy show used her presence as a setup for gags about Hollywood industry infighting. There are a plethora of meta comedy shows that take aim at the business of show business, from Hacks to The Studio. Before these recent barbed satires, everything from 30 Rock to Entourage to BoJack Horseman took on the TV industry with varying degrees of
