    Before James Bond, Roger Moore Replaced James Garner On A Hit Western Series - TVLine (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Roger Moore is best known for his work as James Bond, but before 007, he was one of the rotating leading men on the popular ABC horse opera "Maverick."

    Who Is Mogo? DC's Lanterns Easter Egg Explained - TVLine (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Twice now, HBO's "Lanterns" has referenced someone named Mogo. Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) uses the passphrase "Mogo doesn't socialize" to open his interdimensional safe in "Trust Fall," and in "The Jordan Boys' Legacy," John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) fibs to the "Halogram" that Mogo was present at Hal's funeral in 2026.

    Read excerpt

    "Lanterns" somewhat polarized viewers when its first episode ended with the apparent death of Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan.

    5 DC Comics Characters Whose Cartoons Were Canceled Before They Made It To TV - TVLine (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Not every major DC Comics superhero has headlined their own animated television show, and even some of the biggest names in comics have been axed before their latest adventures hit the small screen. While DC is known for its great animated TV shows, most cartoons put out by Warner Bros. focus on Batman or, occasionally, Superman and the Justice League as a whole. Few other heroes are given such a dynamic spotlight to highlight their potential. Of course, some have been given the chance. Green La

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Only a few years after the cancellation of "The Twilight Zone," creator Rod Serling returned to network television to revisit the strange and macabre with "Night Gallery." The NBC series began with a made-for-TV pilot film comprising three separate tales, all penned by Serling and helmed by different directors. One of them was Steven Spielberg. Spielberg tackled the second segment, "Eyes," which starred Joan Crawford and future "Happy Days" legend Tom Bosley. Crawford played the callous and self
