With so many television shows about parents and kids, there’s always a fresh face in the crowd worth finding out more about.

If you were watching Pamela Adlon’s award-winning FX comedy series “Better Things” this season, then you know what I’m talking about. The show follows Adlon as single mom, Sam Fox, who struggles to balance her career and her three daughters (Mikey Madison, Hannah Alligood, Olivia Edward).

In the season three finale Shake the Cocktail, Frankie (Alligood) has decided she isn’t going to live at home anymore. As the storyline unfolds, Sam is on a mission to find...

New York has a long history with delivering some very funny television shows starring some very big personalities. Think “Seinfeld,” “30 Rock,” “Friends,” and tons of others that have brought big laughs as they offered up crazy stories about The Big Apple. And, they’ve also given opportunity for hundreds of actors to show off their comedy chops.

One such actor is Kyle Klaus, who steps into the small screen comedy arena with appearances on two very different shows. He recently helped launch season two of SyFy’s oddball dark comedy “Happy”; and coming up, he joins the hilarious...

As a child growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the early 1980s, I often woke up early in the morning, before heading off to school, to complete watching my favorite Warner Bros./ Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck cartoons. Often times, Dr. Don Rose (Rosenberg), would entice us to watch more cartoons by showing us a series of animals, many of whom we could possibly win by simply guessing the correct name and species of the animal shown on that day's Broadcast. My father urged me not to waste my time on such nonsense, but I did not care, I was so attracted to Dr. Don's voice, that I spent weeks trying...

Those of you who think that television teaches you nothing...well you are in for a rude surprise! As a sitcom fanatic (my list of favorites currently adds to 32) I can tell you with certainty that sitcoms have a lot of life lessons to teach ranging from family, to love, to the everyday. So sit back, relax, and LEARN!

1. If you are married, and intend to renew your wedding vows, DON'T. You will end up divorced.

2. Amnesia is very common. In fact, nearly every time you hit your head amnesia will result. AND it's fairly simple to get rid of. Just have people:
A)Take turns hitting you on the head...

Game shows are all the rage right now and ABC’s “To Tell The Truth” hosted by Anthony Anderson is no exception.

Out of the 324 people on board Oceanic Flight 815,there are 71 initial survivors (as well as one dog) spread across the three sections of the plane crash. The opening season featured 14 regular speaking roles, making it the second largest cast in a currently airing American prime time television show behind Desperate Housewives. While a large cast makes Lost more expensive to produce, the writers benefit from more flexibility in story decisions. According to series executive producer Bryan Burk, "You can have more interactions between characters and create more diverse characters, more back...

THIS IS VERY URGENT AND NOT A JOKE! ALSO DON'T GOOF OFF!!!!

I really mean it! What would you be able to do if SOPA/TPP censors the internet? What would you be able to do if writing fanfics and drawing fanarts become illegal? What would you do if it's illegal to do a cover of your favorite song on YouTube? What would you do if downloading things from the internet (music, movies, TV episodes, etc) became illegal? What would you do if SOPA/TPP wins the war and takes away internet freedom? Net Neutrality is already dead so far, we can't risk the freedom of internet...

Actress CHRISTINE GARVER has done exactly that. She first came into the storyline last year, but disappeared for a bit. Now, she’s back – and ready to help the team tackle the latest global issues plaguing the White House.

No, this is not just your imagination playing tricks on you. It actually is the end of the road for TNT’s “Perception” when the final episode airs on March 17th.

Actor Josh Coxx returns for the final episodes on the show but who exactly is he? That’s what audiences are wondering after discovering he isn’t the FBI Agent he claimed to be after all.
