In hindsight, the American cinema of the 1970s has two major legacies attached to it. On the one hand, there's the American New Wave aka the New Hollywood movement, in which "Five Easy Pieces," "Klute," "The French Connection," and other films like them eschewed the mainstream studio filmmaking formula in favor of telling stories that were creatively daring and heartfelt. On the other, there's the dawn of the blockbuster, a trend that continues to this day and whose beginning is most often attributed to Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" from 1975. But while "Jaws" gets the lion's share of the credit for birthing the blockbuster, a good dollop of credit must also go to the other populist trend in American cinema during the decade: the disaster movie.

The disaster film had been around before the '70s in one form or another, but it's the version that was popularized during that decade...

Since 1975 nearly a thousand hosts have graced the stage at Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center for “Saturday Night Live.”

Actors, comedians, musicians and even politicians have taken the stage to make America laugh on Saturday night for 50 seasons. Twenty five of these hosts have been inducted into the “Five Timers Club.” The club was first introduced during Tom Hanks’ 1990 monologue, featuring Steve Martin, Elliott Gould and Paul Simon.

During Martin Short’s December 2024 appearance, several Five Timers Club members popped up on the show to welcome him into the club, including Emma Stone, Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Kristen Wiig and more, to give him the ceremonial robe.

Alec Baldwin has hosted the show 17 times, the most in the series’ history, with Martin, Hanks, Buck Henry and John Goodman following close behind.

As the show celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, we have rounded up every person who has hosted the sketch show.

An intense and often funny drama starring the best fake news anchor and created by the guy who has made too many legal dramas and all of them are brilliant. A Man in Full is a drama miniseries created by David E. Kelley. Based on a 1998 novel of the same name by Tom Wolfe, it follows a real estate mogul Charlie Croker as he faces bankruptcy and his enemies circle him to gain something from his misfortune. A Man in Full stars Jeff Daniels in the lead role with Sarah Jones, Diane Lane, Lucy Liu, Tom Pelphrey, Evan Roe, Jon Michael Hill, Josh Pais, and Jerrika Hinton starring in supporting. So, if you loved Daniels’ incredible performance and the story of a man’s fall from grace and too much arrogance in A Man in Full here are some similar shows you could watch next.

1972’s The Poseidon Adventure was the second release, following 1970’s Airport, in the Golden Age of disaster films. These movies drew in some of Hollywood’s most famous stars, finding themselves in earthquakes (Earthquake), burning buildings (The Towering Inferno), and more. The Poseidon Adventure found some of the 1970s most famous names aboard the ill-fated SS Poseidon, overturned by a tsunami en route to Athens: Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Shelley Winters, Gene Hackman, and Pamela Sue Martin, among others. The story finds a small group of survivors climbing to the top of the ship, formerly the bottom, to seek help. As they make their way, a few of the survivors perish, but one death, in particular, is indicative of the genre’s need for a martyr character: Gene Hackman’s Rev. Frank Scott, who leaps across a pool of flaming oil to turn off a valve that is preventing the group from going any further.

Zephina Media and Metropolis Post have released a Blu-ray edition of 1974’s Buster and Bille, a teenage romantic drama starring Jan-Michael Vincent, Joan Goodfellow, Pamela Sue Martin and, in his first film role, Robert Englund.

The story is set in Georgia during 1948, where Buster is the local school athletic hero who is known for pulling pranks such driving his truck in front of the school bus and temporarily blinding the driver in a cloud of dust. Cocky and handsome, Buster is the leader of a group of cool kids and misfits that includes an albino, Whitey (Robert Englund) who has the shocking habit of dying his hair black. He’s engaged to a pretty classmate named Margie (Pamela Sue Martin) who has decided they should not have sex until their wedding night. The rest of Buster’s pals make a...

A teenaged melodrama set in a tiny Georgia town in the late forties, Daniel Petrie’s 1974 sleeper stars Jan-Michael Vincent as Buster and Pamela Sue Martin as his sometime girlfriend Margie. Joan Goodfellow plays the tragic Billie whose awful fate turns the movie, and Buster, on their heads. Making his film debut ten years before his breakout role as Freddy Kruger is Robert Englund.

Ernie F. Orsatti, best known for his unforgettable fall through a glass skylight in the 1972 movie The Poseidon Adventure, has died. He was 80 and passed Sept. 12 in La Quinta, Calif. from a hemorrhagic stroke, his son, Noon Orsatti, confirmed.

Ernie Orsatti was born in Beverly Hills on Feb. 13, 1940, to opera singer Inez Gorman and Ernie R. Orsatti, a former professional baseball player and double for Buster Keaton in Sherlock Jr. (1924). The younger Orsatti became a model and competitive swimmer before breaking into show business with appearances in the 1968 film The Acid Eaters and in The Green Berets, starring John Wayne.

He later had roles in the films The Mechanic (1972), The Last American Hero (1973), The Towering Inferno (1974) and Viva Knievel! (1977). He also appeared on TV shows Mannix, The Incredible Hulk, and Hill Street Blues.

Storied stuntman Ernie F. Orsatti, who is best known for falling 30 feet through a glass skylight in the 1972 film “The Poseidon Adventure,” has died. He was 80.

The Stunt Players Directory Facebook page confirmed his death, writing: “We are saddened to hear of the passing of legendary stuntman Ernie Orsatti. His impeccable work and contributions to the stunt community will live forever.” His son, Noon Orsatti, told The Hollywood Reporter that his father died on Sep. 12 in La Quinta, Calif., after experiencing a hemorrhagic stroke.

Orsatti got his start as a stuntman while acting in the disaster film “The Poseidon Adventure” in 1972 as Terry, the date of Pamela Sue Martin’s character. The film’s producer, Irwin Allen, informed Orsatti the day before the stunt was scheduled that he was to perform it, even though he had no experience in the field. However, after consulting with the film’s stunt coordinator,...

A sweet, poignant little movie that hasn’t been on anybody’s radar since it sank from view in 1972. Notable for its frank treatment of teen sexuality and abortion, this is the kind of studio movie they stopped making a few years later.

The movie’s in color but this trailer, taken from a substandard VHS source, is black-and-white and bears the exploitation title Sex and the Teenager.

Nancy Drew may be one of pop culture’s best-known detectives, but she isn’t exactly in a sleuthing mood atop the premiere of her new CW series. “I don’t go searching in the dark anymore — not after the darkness found me,” she explains, alluding to the one mystery no one was able to crack: a way to stop her mother from dying of cancer.

Will the Hardy Boys show up on Nancy Drew? The cast and the creators of Nancy Drew were at Sdcc to talk all things Drew.

The cast and creators of Nancy Drew, the upcoming adaptation of the classic book series, were on hand at Comic-Con to give the audience a sneak peek into what to expect when the series premieres on The CW in October. In addition to screening the show's pilot episode, the panel discussed the connections to the original canon, as well as how the story has been modernized for today's audience.

Nancy Drew first premiered as a character in fiction in 1930, spun off as a female counterpart to the popular amateur detective mystery characters The Hardy Boys, who had their own book series which begun in 1927. When asked if there's any chance we might see The Hardy Boys appear in the Nancy Drew TV series,...

In the spirit of Riverdale, The CW’s new take on the classic Nancy Drew is darker, more supernatural and little sexier than the teen sleuth that we are used to. Comic-Con fangirls and fanboys were treated to a sneak peek at the pilot episode of the new series from showrunner Melinda Hsu-Taylor as well as executive producers Noga Landau and Stephanie Savage which was a spooky hybrid of Veronica Mars and Charmed. The trio was on hand in Ballroom 20 at San Diego along with the new Nancy Drew Kennedy McMann as well as series stars Leah Lewis, Maddison Jaizani, Alex Saxon and Tunji Kasim to talk about this new take on a Ya classic.

Hsu-Taylor points out that she did read the original series and connected with the character but wanted to diversify the cast for the new iteration. Yes, the Nancy remains white,...

Among the most anticipated new shows in the Fall 2019 TV season is Nancy Drew, The CW's new adaptation of the classic mystery book series. While details about the show are still a bit secretive, we've rounded up all the info we have so far. Here's what to expect when the teen sleuth returns to TV for a new era.

Who Will Star in the New Nancy Drew Series?

Like so many of The CW's shows, Nancy Drew's cast is packed with a whole bunch of talented young actors who were relatively unknown up till now. Newcomer Kennedy McKann will be playing the role of the famous teen detective. Her friends and sidekicks George and Bess will be played by Leah Lewis and Maddison Jaizani, while love interest Nick will be played by Tunji Kasim.

The most recognizable name in the cast is probably longtime TV vet Scott Wolf, who's...

A movie that could just as easily qualify for Tfh’s Movies You Never Heard Of, Peter Hyams’ little-seen teen soaper is a sensitive look at life in a girl’s school circa 1955. Featuring TV stars Pamela Sue Martin and Parker Stevenson, the movie is an uncharacteristically modest effort from action maven Hyams and it deserves a bigger audience.

1969: On Another World, Liz Matthews (Audra Lindley) left Bay City. Lindley, who took over the role as Liz on Another World's second episode, was leaving the show after 5 years. She returned on June 20th for one final appearance. Lindley would go on to star as Mrs. Roper in the hit ABC sitcom Three's Company.

We have our first big recasting ahead of the 2019-20 season!

The first show making a change is The CW's new take on Nancy Drew. 

Per THR, Freddie Prinze Jr. is exiting the new supernatural drama. 

Everwood veteran, Scott Wolf, has been drafted in to replace Freddie. 

According to the report, the recasting was amicable, and it comes as the producers have decided to go in a different direction for the role of Carson Drew, the father of the show's titular crime-solver.

Carson is an attorney, but the new take will find him estranged from Nancy following the death of her mother. 

With the investigation into his late wife's murder bringing past secrets to light, it only makes their relationship more strained. 

Newcomer, Kennedy McMann is taking on the lead role of Nancy.

Actors leave their shows for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes they have another role they want to pursue. Sometimes it is about the show; actors do not always like the roles they play or the people they work with.

Sometimes they leave for personal reasons such as to be with their families. And sometimes, as with the recently late and great Luke Perry, they leave the show because they have left this world behind.

But the show must go on. When an actor wants or needs to leave a show, the writers have to cook up a reason for their departure. They might kill the character off, have the character move away, or they might simply replace the actor.

Seeing a new actor playing a beloved role can be unsettling but also intriguing.

The original Nancy Drew is returning to her roots. Deadline reports Pamela Sue Martin will guest star on The CW's upcoming Nancy Drew pilot.

The new series "centers on 18-year-old Nancy Drew (Kennedy McMann) and is set in the summer after her high school graduation. She thought she’d be leaving her hometown for college, but when a family tragedy holds her back another year, she finds herself embroiled in a ghostly murder investigation — and along the way, uncovers secrets that run deeper than she ever imagined."

The CW's Nancy Drew pilot will have a big link to one of the adaptations that came before it. 

Per Deadline, Pamela Sue Martin, who played TV's first iteration of the sleuth, has signed on to appear on the new TV adaptation. 

Martin appeared on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries from 1977 to 1979. 

Kennedy McMann will take on the iconic role on The CW's pilot, which is set in the summer after Nancy's high school graduation.

The CW’s Nancy Drew pilot is paying homage to one of its predecessors: Pamela Sue Martin, who played TV’s first Nancy Drew, has joined the cast of the potential series.

This latest Nancy Drew adaptation will star newcomer Kennedy McMann as the titular sleuth, whose plans to go away to college are derailed by a family tragedy. Per the official description, Nancy “finds herself embroiled in a ghostly murder investigation — and along the way, uncovers secrets that run deeper than she ever imagined.”

The CW’s “Nancy Drew” pilot has added a familiar face to its cast.

Pamela Sue Martin, who portrayed the amateur teen detective in the first TV adaptation “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries” in 1977, has been cast in the reboot as Harriet Grosset, a small-town psychic who offers her talents to help Nancy investigate a murder — and ends up delivering an otherworldly clue that neither of them bargained for.

Newcomer Kennedy McMann is taking up the mantle as the latest version of the classic literary character. McMann’s Drew is described as a brilliant teen sleuth whose college plans and sense of self have been derailed by a recent family tragedy – but when she ends up a suspect in a murder, it rekindles her love for detective work, even though the clues lead her to believe that a long-dead local girl may be the killer.

Exclusive: This is a neat casting — the CW Nancy Drew pilot is giving a nod to the TV history of the iconic character by recruiting Pamela Sue Martin.

Martin, who will guest star in the pilot, played the brilliant teen sleuth in the first (and to date most successful) TV series adaptation of the Nancy Drew books, The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, which ran from 1977-79 on ABC. She will appear alongside newcomer Kennedy McMann, who is taking the mantle of playing the amateur detective.

Written by Noga Landau, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage and directed by Larry Teng, the CW’s untitled Nancy Drew project, from Schwartz and Savage’s Fake Empire and CBS TV Studios, centers on 18-year-old Nancy Drew (McMann) and is set in the summer after her high school graduation.

I sure love me some witches. I especially adore the satanic kind, pentagrams, candles, and the whole shmear. Welcome to Bay Coven (1987), where the tropes are oh so familiar yet warm and snuggly like a quilted comforter.

Originally broadcast on Sunday, October 25th, Bay Coven was part of the NBC Sunday Night at the Movies, and was summarily trounced by Game 7 of the World Series as the *checks notes* Minnesotans beat the other ones to win the cup. Or something. Anyhoo, for those who were into horror, especially so close to Halloween, Bay Coven (Aka Bay Cove) was a fun treat; nothing original at all, but merely the next in the hallowed tradition of what I like to call (as of right now) the Killer Hospitality sub-genre: Rosemary’s Baby, Crowhaven Farm, and The Dark Secret of Harvest Home all setting out the chips and dip for what Bay Coven has in store.

The Carringtons are back, and the drama looks juicier than ever.

Ahead of the premiere of The CW’s Dynasty remake, People Now caught up with actress Liz Gillies, who plays Fallon Carrington in the revival of the ’80s classic primetime soap opera chronicling the ongoing feud between two wealthy families, the Carringtons and the Colbys.

Executive-produced by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (who helmed Gossip Girl and The O.C.), the revival is somewhat of a departure from the original — which Gillies, 24, applauds.

With the remake of the 1980s soap opera arriving today, what better time to take a nostalgia-filled lookback at Dynasty?

Cast your mind back, if you can, to the year of 1981. Bucks Fizz, Adam and the Ants and Soft Cell were storming the charts, Only Fools And Horses aired its first series on BBC One and Gregory’s Girl was playing in a cinema near you. Meanwhile, stateside, ABC had cooked up a suitably glamorous and scandalous competitor to Dallas, the CBS drama packed full of Stetsons and suspense. The world may have recently discovered who shot J.R., but there was still plenty of room for the Carringtons.

Amanda (Catherine Oxenberg), long-lost daughter to Alexis (Joan Collins) and Blake (John Forsythe), is marching down the aisle, soon to wed Prince Michael (Michael Praed), of the European nation of Moldavia. But before the ceremony can conclude, terrorists spray the chapel with bullets, and the season's final moments show the cast lying bloodied and lifeless – but still looking glamorous, of course.

However, this stuff is just child’s play compared to what other right-winged suits have done in the past. (We’re looking at you, Mark Sanford.)

Shout! Factory’s “Scream Factory” arm continues to release some of the most awesomely obscure and beloved horror titles ever and this coming Tuesday February 19 is no exception. Terence Winkless’ cult cockroach classic The Nest finally gets the high-definition treatment in the form of an excellent Blu-ray+DVD Combo Pack that features a commentary track from the director himself. Tasked with making a film about man-eating cockroaches, Winkless makes what is easily the very best (and probably the only) film about killer cockroaches ever made. It’s a horror fan’s dream come true. That is, if your dreams consist of a terrifying Man-Roach and a healthy dose of gore. Here at FEARnet, that’s all we dream about.

FEARnet sat down with Winkless to discuss working with Roger Corman, wrangling cockroaches in the middle of the night, and the infamous Cat-Roach.

More Movies You Never Heard Of! week continues at Trailers from Hell, today with screenwriter Larry Karaszewski introducing "To Find a Man," starring Pamela Sue Martin in her debut role and "notable for its frank treatment of teen sexuality and abortion." A sweet, poignant little movie that hasn't been on anybody's radar since it sank from view in 1972. Notable for its frank treatment of teen sexuality and abortion, this is the kind of studio movie they stopped making a few years later. Pamela Sue Martin's film debut and a Us entry in the Cannes Film Festival. This trailer, taken from a substandard vhs source, bears the exploitation title Sex and the Teenager.
