Brenda Song recently starred in high-profile projects opposite Pamela Anderson and Kate Hudson, has been directed by David Fincher and played a superhero on screen more than once. And yet to this day, when people stop to speak with her, they mostly want to talk about the “The Prindle.” That’s how spoiled heiress London Tipton pronounces Prndl, the abbreviation seen on a car’s gear shift, in a seminal episode of “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.” And thanks to that show and to Song, an entire generation now knows the acronym for “Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive Low Gear.”

Song was reflecting on her career after being presented with Variety’s Virtuoso Award at the Bentonville Film Festival in Arkansas last week and says she’s spent the last 20 years with people bringing up the Prndl to her. “It’s always the Prndl and it’s shocking,” Song...

"Batman: The Animated Series" ran for 85 episodes on Fox Kids and maintained impressive quality control throughout. There are very few lumps of coal in this box of diamonds, but some "Batman" episodes do get mentioned again and again as the fan-favorites.

There's the Emmy-winning "Heart of Ice," which forever redefined Mr. Freeze. "Beware The Gray Ghost" featured a heart-melting guest appearance by Adam West as a washed-up film serial star who Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy) loved as a child. "Almost Got 'Im" features some of Gotham's worst sitting around a poker table, swapping stories about when they came closest to punching Batman's clock.

Similar to "Almost Got 'Im," the episode "Trial" features many heavy hitter Batman villains. They seize control of Arkham Asylum, capture the investigating Batman, and put him on trial for all the grief he's caused them.

Nostalgia is not, inherently, a bad thing. Classic films like Federico Fellini's "L'Avventura," George Lucas' "American Graffiti," and Richard Linklater's "Dazed and Confused" pine away for carefree youth, but they're also careful to acknowledge that the end of the party is on the horizon. Those tales are told from a place of melancholy remove. To quote Thomas Wolfe, "Going back home is a real boneheaded idea."

But in our glutted age of entertainment, where the competition for eyeballs is fierce, the old-school networks believe that one of their programming strengths is viewers' wistfulness for a simpler time, when there were three or four major broadcast entities providing the lion's share of original content. ABC, NBC, CBS and the 1980s party crasher Fox have their work cut out for them in 2025. They're held to conservative content standards and archaic scheduling strictures. Decades ago, they still had an edge because...

Exclusive: NBC’s Night Court is no longer in session as the multi-camera comedy starring Melissa Rauch is not being renewed for a fourth season.

The news is not surprising since NBC has been looking to make cuts as it is preparing for basketball coverage next season under the $2.5B a year deal with the NBA. Night Court, a reboot the original 1984 sitcom, was considered vulnerable — after a strong early run early on, the comedy has been posting significant year-to-year drop-off this season as the nostalgia factor may have worn off.

Still, Deadline understands there was a late push for Night Court to return for a shorter fourth and final season, which was unsuccessful. There is a possibility for it to be shopped elsewhere by studio Warner Bros. Television.

Night Court was one of three multi-camera comedy series on NBC this season. Freshman hit Happy’s Place has been renewed for next season.

"Batman: The Animated Series" is beloved for how accurately it adapted the "Batman" comics. Many consider the series to be the definitive depiction of Gotham City. Yet "Batman" also colored in the margins, where the creators left their own thumbprints.

The series didn't only adapt existing Batman comics and characters. The "Batman" team also introduced a handful of original characters, spicing up the stories they could tell. Some of these original characters were such successes that the comics started adapting them from the show.

Take Gotham police officer Renee Montoya, one of Commissioner Gordon's (Bob Hastings) inner circle. Or Nora Fries, terminally ill wife of the villainous Mr. Freeze. Nora's admittedly more of a plot device, but her presence casts a cloud over Freeze and is the foundation of his brilliant recharacterization.

Some of the other original characters were more sinister. The many illustrious villains of "Batman: The Animated Series...

Baywatch is remembered as one of the most iconic and widely watched television series of all time. During its 11-season run from 1989 to 2001, the show became a global sensation, drawing billions of viewers each season. The show not only made waves with its stunning California’s lifeguards running in slow-motion but it also gifted us many celebrities who became a household name.

However, as time passed, several beloved stars of Baywatch have sadly passed away. Pamela Bach, who was a prominent figure in the series, passed away on Wednesday. Here’s a look back at 10 Baywatch stars who are no longer with us, including Bach.

1. Pamela Bach

Pamela Bach, known for her various roles on Baywatch, and her marriage to the show’s lead, David Hasselhoff, passed away on Wednesday, March 5, 2025. TMZ reported that the star died by suicide at her residence in Los Angeles, California.

Night Court star John Larroquette has reflected on season 2's "perfect" tribute to an original star of the show and future callbacks to past characters. The ongoing revival of the 1980s sitcom sees Larroquette return as Dan Fielding, now a former assistant district attorney and current public defender. He joins Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch), daughter of Harry Stone (Harry Anderson), who overseas the court as judge, with the revival making plenty of references to the original series. With Night Court season 3 due to start the day this article was written, more Easter eggs are no doubt on the horizon.

Speaking with TV Insider, Larroquette reflected on Night Court season 2's "perfect" tribute to Markie Post's Christine Sullivan from the original, by featuring Gigi Rice as her sister, Katie.

Albert Pyun’s The Sword and the Sorcerer is a notable entry in the sword and sorcery genre that has left a distinct mark on me since childhood thanks to its blend of camp, spectacle, and unrestrained imagination. Despite operating with a modest budget and limited resources, Pyun’s debut feature showcases a mix of ambition and creativity that put the film firmly on my radar back in the VHS rental days. Plus it starred Lee Horsley, who I knew as TV’s Matt Houston, so what was not to love?

The Sword and the Sorcerer emerged during a pivotal period for the sword and sorcery genre. The early 1980s saw a renaissance in such films,...

Stories of young love have always captured the attention of moviegoers and the 1990s and 2000s saw a lot of teen romance movies add to the genre. While not every teen movie from this time period aged well, many of them remain watch-worthy for more than just nostalgia. Whether it is the beautifully executed tropes of friends-to-lovers, enemies-to-lovers, miscommunications, nerds and jocks falling in love, or just some classic teen coming-of-age stories, these remain absolute classics.

Teen romance movies can be comedic high school adventures or dramas that tug at the heartstrings, but they always seem to play out like a modern fairy tale. It's not every day that a teenage outsider learns they're actually royalty or becomes embedded with the most popular kids in school, but teen rom-coms find a way to make the audience believe it. The 1990s and 2000s are two decades notorious for producing some of...

The New Batman Adventures was the continuation of the fan-favorite series Batman: The Animated Series. With that in mind, it goes without saying that this sequel series had some lofty expectations placed upon it right away. While often considered part of the same continuity as its groundbreaking predecessor, there are enough differences that set The New Batman Adventures apart as its own take on The Dark Knight, his allies and their enemies.

While it may not have lived up to the level of quality set by Batman: The Animated Series, there is still a lot to be enjoyed about this final run of episodes that helped mold how '90s kids viewed both Batman and Bruce Wayne. To this day, the stories and characters depicted in The New Batman Adventures remain some of the most definitive versions of Batman's lore -- and for good reason.

The New Batman Adventures Continues Its Predecessors Momentum However,...

It’s not every day that a classic 1980s sitcom gets revived by a major television channel, but that’s exactly what happened with Night Court. Fans of the original series, which aired from 1984 to 1992, were thrilled—and perhaps a little shocked—when NBC premiered a revival of Night Court on January 17, 2023. Rather than rebooting the beloved show, this new series continues the original storyline, focusing on Abby Stone, the daughter of Harry Stone, the quirky and endearing judge who was the heart of the original series.

The revival has proven to be more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane. In February 2023, after a successful debut, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on December 23, 2023. The momentum didn’t stop there—by May 2024, NBC had renewed Night Court for a third season, set to premiere on November 19, 2024. With its blend of old and new, the...

Blu-ray.com has announced that Albert Pyun’s 1982 fantasy film The Sword and the Sorcerer is getting a brand new 4K Blu-ray transfer from the British label 101 Films. The movie stars Lee Horsley, Kathleen Beller, Simon MacCorkindale, George Maharis, and Richard Lynch and is scheduled to hit retailers on October 7. Albert Pyun’s 1982 fantasy adventure The Sword and the Sorcerer may not be the most fondly remembered epic of its era, but it was wildly successful.

Actor Diedrich Bader brings a unique twist to Batman by voicing Harvey Dent in Batman: Caped Crusader. Bader's portrayal of Two-Face explores the character's dark side from the start, adding depth to the role. The series delves into the complexity of Dent's character, showcasing his transformation and impact on Batman's story.

The following reveals serious spoilers for Batman: Caped Crusader, now streaming on Amazon Prime.

It can be difficult to stand out amid an ongoing bumper crop of great Batman performances. From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, fans have had no shortage of potential favorites, and choosing a single "best" becomes an exercise in futility. The closest to a consensus choice is probably the late Kevin Conroy, whose legendary run on the character started with Batman: The Animated Series. Even he has a lot of strong competition, however, and solid arguments could be made for at least a half-dozen incarnations.

A few months ago, Paramount and Miramax announced that they are reviving the Scary Movie horror parody series to bring a Scary Movie 6 to theatres sometime in 2025 – and that announcement has inspired us to go back and revisit the earlier entries in the franchise. Last month, we covered the original Scary Movie, and now time for Scary Movie 2 (watch it Here) to get the Revisited treatment. You can hear all about it in the video embedded above.

Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans from a screenplay written by the team of Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Alyson Fouse, Greg Grabianski, Dave Polsky, Michael Anthony Snowden, and Craig Wayans, Scary Movie 2 has the following synopsis: As the supernatural extension of the first film, Scary Movie 2 casts its satirical eye on such iconic classics as The Exorcist, House on Haunted Hill, and Poltergeist, as well as the more recent films Hannibal and What Lies Beneath.

Night Court has already lost multiple main cast members after only two seasons, which mirrors the original Night Court's rotating cast. In the early days of Night Court, it was common for at least one series regular to leave after just one season. The original Night Court's nine-season run suggests the reboot can survive despite continuous character departures.

By losing another main cast member ahead of season 3, Night Court is repeating a trend from the original NBC sitcom of the same name. Created by Reinhold Weege, Night Court originally aired from 1984-1992 and followed Judge Harry Stone (Harry Anderson) and the rest of the night shift crew at Manhattan Criminal Court. In 2023, a revival was developed by Dan Rubin and Melissa Rauch about Harry Stone's daughter, Abby (Rauch), following in her late father's footsteps. John Larroquette, who played Ada Dan Fielding in the original series, returned as a public defender at Abby's court.

India de Beaufort won't return for Night Court season 3. The actor played Olivia Moore. This is the second change in the Night Court reboot cast, after Kapil Talwalkar's exit.

Night Court season 3 will be missing a familiar face, as another original cast member has announced their exit. Before the premiere of season 2, which debuted on NBC in January, it was confirmed that Kapil Talwalkar would not be reprising his role as the cheerful clerk Neil. That initially brought the main cast down to Melissa Rauch, India de Beaufort, Lacretta, and John Larroquette. Since then, Night Court season 3 was renewed by NBC.

However, de Beaufort recently shared the news that she will not be back as Assistant District Attorney Olivia Moore. Look at her post below:

The departure, confirmed by TVLine, was reflected on by de Beaufort in...

Prior to creating the hit absurdist sitcom "Night Court," Reinhold Weege was a writer on "Barney Miller" and on "M*A*S*H," for which he received a grand reputation in American television. "Night Court," however, launched him into the stratosphere, as the show was part of the invaluable NBC Thursday night lineup that revolutionized television. "Night Court" came at the end of a block of programming that included "The Cosby Show" (which was responsible for saving "Night Court"), "Cheers," and "Family Ties," and the four sitcoms collectively buoyed the network to new heights. The series was nominated for 12 Emmys during its 1984 to 1992 run, with four wins going to star John Larroquette.

Despite the success of the show, Weege remained an affable, unglamorous, street-level bloke, flaunting his Chicago roots with pride. In the 2022 book "Barney Miller and the Files Of the Ol' One-Two" by Otto W. Bruno, Weege preferred presenting himself as low-fi and unassuming,...

The DC Animated Universe was beloved by many, especially when it came to Batman: The Animated Series. This shared universe of DC cartoon projects brought many classic heroes and villains to the small screen. While most of them were handled with care and given their most beloved distillations, other characters and concepts sadly missed the mark.

Some heroes got less focus than they deserved, with others having wholly different characterizations from the comics. This was especially noticeable with some of the more important DC heroes seen in the DC Animated Universe. Though the Dcau didn't quite do them justice, this could have been fixed with just a few alterations.

The original "Night Court" ran for 193 episodes over nine seasons. It was part of a magical Thursday-night lineup of sitcoms -- along with "Family Ties," "The Cosby Show," and "Cheers" -- that dominated the popular consciousness throughout the 1980s. "Night Court" was considered "the weird one" of that lineup, but it was no less popular, earning star John Larroquette four Emmys before he intentionally withdrew himself from consideration. Since its cancelation in 1992, "Night Court" has remained beloved by the people who initially saw it, and subsequent reruns have grown a few new fans along the way.

Sometime in 2019 or 2020, however, a revival of "Night Court" was floated to NBC, and they began developing the new series that debuted on their network in 2023. The "Night Court" revival saw the return of Larroquette as Dan Fielding, the once-lascivious-now-humbled prosecutor who served the night shifts at the Manhattan Criminal Court. Marsha Warfield also...

Up until 2014, the public at large didn't know about the extent of sexual crimes committed by comedian and TV star Bill Cosby. Since 2014, over 60 women have come forward with allegations of sexual assault, some of which stretch back to the 1960s. The many, many details of Cosby's assaults, cover-ups, and other crimes have been openly detailed in the news, and in the 2022 documentary series "We Need to Talk About Cosby." 

Cosby's crimes make discussions of the hit series "The Cosby Show" a little fraught. Because the stories of sexual assault hadn't been made public yet, Cosby was easily accepted by mainstream sitcom viewers as a kindly, father-like figure: a perfectly put-upon patriarch of a modern, wealthy Black family. "The Cosby Show" was instantly successful and widely beloved when it debuted in 1984, and it lasted eight seasons and 201 episodes. Everyone watched it. Critics praised the sitcom for presenting a Black experience...

The NBC sitcom "Night Court" was a satirical take on the zany and chaotic underworld of the midnight shift at the courthouse. With an unconventional, free-loving judge at the helm of this circus, there's no telling what might happen. The series was such a massive hit that it ran for nine whole seasons, featuring a cast of relatively unknown actors that, when assembled, formed one of the most acclaimed ensembles of all time. The show won eight Primetime Emmys and was nominated no less than 32 times. "Night Court" won in a variety of categories, but the actor that ended up taking home the most gold was John Larroquette, who played egotistical D.A. Dan Fielding.

Original Night Court star Marsha Warfield has addressed how it felt to return as Roz in NBC's revival series.

Featuring a mostly all-new cast of characters, Night Court brought back John Larroquette to reprise his role as Fan Fielding. The Season 1 finale reunited the actor with Warfield, who briefly appeared as Roz in the episode. With Warfield also returning as Roz in Season 1, the Night Court favorite spoke about the experience of reuniting once again with Larroquette, per USA Today. She said that it was so fun to see her old friend again that it was "almost not work," going on to explain how it also felt like their other co-stars who've since passed on were still there on the set as well in spirit.

Related John Larroquette Explains Why Night Court Reunion Was Bittersweet John Larroquette speaks about reuniting with Marsha Warfield in the new Night Court and why it was bittersweet.

On Jan. 4, 1984, NBC unveiled Night Court, which went on to air for nine seasons and get a recent revival. The Hollywood Reporter weighed in with a full review, headlined “Night Court convicted of being consistently amusing TV sitcom,” as it entered its sophomore run:

Night Court is a consistently funny sitcom created by Reinhold Weege, a writer-producer for the old Barney Miller series. Its venue, weekly parade of various weirdos, and quirky regulars are reminiscent of Miller. And, like Miller, Night Court has more laughs per episode than most sitcoms.

Anchoring the series is Harry Anderson, as unorthodox Manhattan arraignment court judge, Harry Stone. Judge Stone is sharp and fair, but he seizes every available opportunity to turn due process of law into an excuse for levity. Anderson manages to wring just the right amount of irony out of lines like, “Being a judge means never having to say you’re sorry.

Kapil Talwalkar, who portrayed court clerk Neil Valluri in Night Court's first season, has exited the series as it takes a new creative direction. Talwalkar's character had a potential love story with Judge Abby Stone, played by Melissa Rauch. Marsha Warfield, who played bailiff Roz in the original Night Court series, will guest star in the second season debut episode of the revival.

Night Court won't see one of its main characters back for its sophomore season. Kapil Talwalkar, who starred as court clerk Neil Valluri in the reboot's first season, has exited the series. According to Deadline, Talwalkar's exit comes as the comedy ventures "in a new creative direction;" season two is expected to follow closer in the original sitcom's path by showcasing "different personalities, characters and perspectives."

Aside from being a key player in Judge Abby Stone's courtroom, Talwalkar's character also served as a possible romantic interest for Abby.

Dan actor John Larroquette shares his feelings about reuniting with original show star Marsha Warfield on the set for the premiere of Night Court season 2. While the pair's reunion was a special affair, Larroquette reveals that it was bittersweet because they are the last two surviving members of the original show's core cast. Despite featuring very few original characters, the Night Court revival has earned mostly positive reviews, suggesting it is a worthy successor to the original show.

Night Court star John Larroquette reflects on his recent on-set reunion with original show star Marsha Warfield. Airing for 9 seasons on NBC from 1984 to 1992, the popular sitcom returned in 2023 for a revival, with Larroquette reprising his role as public defender Dan Fielding. Night Court is set to return for season 2 this week, with the premiere featuring the return of Warfield as Roz, a role she occupied during seasons 4 to 9 of the original show.

Roz is back. In the season two premiere of NBC’s Night Court, Marsha Warfield makes her highly anticipated return in a full episode as Roz Russell, a candid, no-nonsense bailiff on the original sitcom, which ran on NBC from 1984 to 1992. Expect plenty of surprises in the episode entitled The Roz Affair, which drops Tuesday, January 2nd at 8/7c on NBC, and streaming next day on Peacock here.

The premiere finds Dan (John Larroquette) helping Roz with an investigation that goes awry. Suddenly, the duo finds themselves pleading their case in front of judge Abby (Melissa Rauch).

On October 26, 2023, character actor Richard Moll passed away at age 80. With a career that spanned four decades, Moll is best remembered as Bull Shannon, the giant lovable bailiff on Night Court from 1984 to 1992. Richard Moll's 6'8" frame made Bull an imposing figure on the weekly sitcom, but it was his voice that brought an iconic Batman villain to life.

Until 1992, audiences had never seen the Gotham City rogue Two-Face on the big or small screen. Batman: The Animated Series changed that. With a brilliant vocal performance by Richard Moll, Gotham's District Attorney Harvey Dent became the tormented villain right before the audience's eyes and ears.

Batman: The Animated Series was a game-changer for cartoons in the 1990s. Up until its premiere on Sept. 5, 1992, animated superhero shows were whimsical children's entertainment. Heroes and villains were often two-dimensional as the cels they were drawn on. Batman: The Animated Series took a considerably different approach.

Batman: The Animated Series was developed with comic book fans of all ages in mind, not just kids. The themes were darker and more serious, and the heroes and villains had more depth than in previous cartoons. The result was a half-hour drama that explored Batman's world in depth. This more earnest approach created some of the most heartbreaking stories ever told about The Dark Knight.
