In 1993, pop culture was introduced to a franchise that would fascinate children’s television with a fresh take on superhero stories. Produced by Saban Entertainment, “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” quickly rose to prominence as one of the cornerstones of after-school television memories for children of the 1990s. It follows the story of five teenagers who are left with the fate of the universe in their hands after they are given powers by Zordon to defeat the villain, becoming the color-coded, spandex-wearing, band of heroes, the Power Rangers.
“Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” is a return to the classic Spider-Man stories seen prior to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Since Spider-Man’s addition to the MCU, fans have been divided on the handling of his character, as the MCU wedged him between the Avengers and the multiverse. “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” impressed fans by addressing their issues with the MCU’s Spider-Man story and reworking it to create a new start for the young hero which is not part of the MCU.
The late ‘90s MTV animated sitcom that reached teenage misfits across the nation is still reaching them today. “Daria” gave the world an everyday heroine – albeit a cynical, dry and antisocial one – in Daria Morgendorffer. She represents the misanthropic smart-aleck who lives within all of us, regardless of generational lines.
When will “Saturday Night Live” be the same again? SNL brought in Shane Gillis to host their latest episode alongside musical guest 21 Savage. The duo spun heads at first, starting with “Who is Shane Gillis?” and moving to “Why 21 Savage?”
The reality television juggernaut “Big Brother” capped off its landmark 25th season by crowning Jagateshwar “Jag” Bains, a 25-year-old truck company owner from Omak, Washington. Bains was not only the first Sikh player to win the game but also the first Sikh player to play “Big Brother.”
Another successful fall release for the acclaimed adult animated comedy “Big Mouth” is officially in the books. The seventh season was released on Friday, Oct. 20, with all its main and recurring characters once again returning.
CBS has been bringing the reality show “Big Brother” to television screens every summer since the 2000s. Host Julie Chen Moonves has led this risqué and game-changing competition show since the beginning.
Oct.18, brought a very special episode of “All Elite Wrestling Dynamite,” (AEW) not only because it aired on a Tuesday when it typically airs on a Wednesday, but because it featured four title matches in one night. As “Jane” by Jefferson Starship begins to play, viewers get to see their first matchup of the night.
It was all about family in season six of the critically-acclaimed Netflix original series “Big Mouth.” The new season of the raunchy adult animation was released on Oct. 28 and continued to put on display its coming-of-age story, as well as its absurd and over-the-top comedic prowess.
I’m a simple man: I saw promotional content of Taika Waititi as a pirate and I threw all caution to the wind, diving headfirst into the world of HBO Max’s most recent period romantic comedy, “Our Flag Means Death,” from David Jenkins of “People of Earth” fame and Taika Waititi, best known for “Jojo Rabbit,” “Thor: Ragnarok” and “What We Do In The Shadows.”
Back in May 2021, the internet was shocked with the transformation of Sebastian Stan (“Falcon and the Winter Soldier”) and Lily James (“Cinderella”) as Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson.
