Netflix's 'SCTV' is a treasure trove of underdog humor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is FRESH AIR. "SCTV," also known as "Second City TV," was a low-budget sketch comedy show that originated in Canada in the mid-1970s and continued in syndication and on network and cable TV until 1984. Its cast members over the years have included John Candy, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara and Andrea Martin. And the entire series has generally been unavailable to watch, but beginning this month, all six seasons of "SCTV" are available to stream on Netflix. Our TV critic David Bianculli is t
'Furious' is an unforgettable thriller, not just a 'Black Widow' remake (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dramas about female lawmakers chasing female fugitives almost have become their own sub-genre. Lucky is streaming weekly episodes this summer on Apple TV. Killing Eve was a huge hit a few years ago for BBC America. And way back in 1987, the movie Black Widow may have started it all. It showcased Debra Winger as an investigator in pursuit of a serial killer, played by Theresa Russell, who married wealthy men only to murder them. That very movie, it turns out, was the official inspiration for Eliz
'Stuart Fails to Save the Universe' is a fun and familiar 'Big Bang' spin-off (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, a new 10-part HBO Max sequel to The Big Bang Theory, expands on that long-running sitcom by following a quartet of its characters. Not the main characters, such as Sheldon and Leonard, but some of the peripheral ones. Specifically, Stuart, who ran the local comic book store and Denise, who became Stuart's girlfriend in the final season of The Big Bang Theory. Also, two awkward, brainy misfits: Bert, the large, lunky geologist; and Barry Kripke, a scientist with
'Lucky' is a crime series that starts mid-caper — and dares you to keep up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lucky, Apple TV's new drama based on Marissa Stapley's 2021 crime novel, starts mid-caper, and almost dares you to keep up. The title character is a very shrewd, resourceful con woman. She's played by Anya Taylor-Joy, who showed just as much fiery intelligence as the chess prodigy in The Queen's Gambit — and in several standout roles since then. When we meet Lucky, she's out on the town at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, along with her husband, Cary, played by Drew Starkey. They're celebrating beca
New 'Little House' remake will inspire you to rewatch the '70s TV series (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Netflix is presenting a new version of Little House on the Prairie, a story from our nation's early frontier history, based on the popular series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. When Wilder started writing the book series in the early 1930s, it was as a fond salute to her own childhood memories. Wilder was born shortly after the Civil War, in 1867, in the very log cabin she describes in her first book, Little House in the Big Woods. That book, and her later ones, detailed the joys, the difficu
