A star from a beloved 1990s sci-fi show pitches a reboot idea, but with one caveat. The genre of science-fiction flourished on television during the 1990s, offering audiences imaginative explorations of futuristic technology and alien encounters. Star Trek: The Next Generation, which ended in 1994, set a high bar for sci-fi, while its spin-offs, Deep Space Nine and Voyager, expanded the franchise's universe. Meanwhile, The X-Files captivated viewers with its blend of government conspiracies, paranormal phenomena, and the chemistry between its two leads, Mulder and Scully, becoming a cultural phenomenon.

The era also saw the rise of more diverse sci-fi narratives, such as the epic storytelling of Babylon 5, which helped pioneer serialized television arcs. Stargate Sg-1 debuted in 1997, blending military drama with intergalactic adventure, while Farscape (1999) offered a darker and more surreal take on space exploration. Amid these series, Sliders stood out for its concept of parallel worlds, with each...

The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer has hinted about a possible celebrity version of each of the Bachelor Nation shows, but it might not be the best idea for the franchise. The Bachelor began by casting unknowns in the lead role, but tried a few famous people, including NFL player Jesse himself and actor Charlie O'Connell. However, as the years passed, the show began casting contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, who'd become celebrities themselves, as the leads. The Golden Bachelor began with unknown Gerry Turner, but then cast one of his contestants, Joan Vassos as The Golden Bachelorette.

Jesse Palmer revealed the famous faces that he'd like to see star in possible celebrity spin-offs of each of the Bachelor franchise shows.

In an interview with E! News, Jesse revealed the famous faces that he'd like to see star in possible celebrity spin-offs of each of the Bachelor franchise shows.

Unique parallel universe exploration in Dark Matter provides a captivating journey into different realities. Apple TV+ continues to impress with adaptations, showcasing the depth of the sci-fi genre. From Wizard of Oz to Sliders to Spider-Verse, the concept of multiverses has long fascinated audiences.

Apple TV+'s Dark Matter is one of the most unique TV shows of the year, telling the story of physicist Jason (Joel Edgerton) as he is kidnapped and transported into an alternate version of his life and fights to get back to his core universe. It's an entertaining journey that explores the idea of parallel universes, a concept that has been used in many movies and TV shows before.

While the idea of parallel universes has become more popular in the last few years with the releases of Spider-Man: Into the SpiderVerse, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and the introduction of the Multiverse in the MCU,...

What happens to the stars of The Bachelor after their time on the franchise ends? How much are they really worth? Let’s dive into the net worth of some of the most famous Bachelor Nation members.

Bachelor Alums With Lowest Net Worths

Not all of the Bachelor leads have been able to turn reality TV fame into money. Season 18 Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis has the lowest net worth of all 28 leads with a reported net worth of $85,000, as reported by Just Jared.

Not surprisingly, Bachelor leads you barely remember, Aaron Buerge Matt Grant and Andrew Baldwin (Season 10) have an average net worth of around $130,000.

Despite starring in his own reality show with his final rose winner, Ben Higgins net worth is reportedly only $100,000. Nick Viall, who recently competed on Special Forces has a reported net worth of $129,000.

Surprisingly, the franchise’s first Bachelor, Alex Michel, has a been living...

One of the most anticipated parts of The Bachelor is the engagement, but there are several leading men who didn't propose at the ends of their seasons. Although it's easy to assume that proposing was the norm right from the start, the first Bachelor proposal was actually at the end of season 2, when Aaron Buerge got engaged to Helene Eksterowicz. This was followed by Andrew Firestone and Jen Schefft, Byron Velvick and Mary Delgado, and Andy Baldwin and Tessa Horst. Others include Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, and Brad Womack and Emily Maynard.

In addition, The Bachelor couples Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson, Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff, Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell, and Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi got engaged. Jason Mesnick proposed to Melissa Rycroft, and Arie Luyendyk Jr. did the same for Becca Kufrin. However, they changed their minds, and ended up marrying their runners-up,...

The Bachelor franchise has been casting contestants from The Bachelorette seasons for many years now, but in the beginning, celebrities were asked to be the leading men, and some turned down the reality dating series. Zach Shallcross, the current Bachelor, is the latest star to come from The Bachelorette. He was chosen as the lead after self-eliminating from Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey's season when his connection with Rachel fizzled.

Before The Bachelorette cast-offs became leads of the show, celebrities were given the chance to find the loves of their lives. Some notable leads were businessman Andrew Firestone, actor Charlie O'Connell, and NFL player Jesse Palmer, who is currently the host of The Bachelor franchise shows. Although these men said yes to the show, some celebrities have discussed the reasons why they turned down The Bachelor.

Celebrity chef Tyler Florence, who is one of the stars of the Fox reality series Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, revealed the reason why he once turned down a leading role on The Bachelor. Tyler is a celebrated chef and Food Network host who has starred on shows such as How to Boil Water, Food 911, Tyler's Ultimate, The Great Food Truck Race, and Worst Cooks in America, during which he served as a mentor. Tyler owns two San Francisco restaurants: Wayfare Tavern and the modern American steakhouse, Miller & Lux. He's written several cookbooks and picture books for children.

Before The Bachelor franchise began regularly casting contestants from previous The Bachelorette seasons, the show searched for eligible bachelors from the celebrity world.

Always a contestant, never a lead. While hundreds of men have appeared as contestants in the Bachelor franchise since it began in 2002, only 22 men have served as the star of The Bachelor, with one man even handing out roses twice. Beginning with businessman Alex Michel in its inaugural season, ABC picked eligible normal men to be their lead, sometimes choosing a more high-profile name like NFL player Jesse Palmer or actor Charlie O'Connell or Firestone Tire heir Andrew Firestone.  But midway through The Bachelor's 23-season run, the show realized its viewers were way more invested when they knew the lead from the previous season, especially when they chose...

The very first episode of The Bachelor premiered on March 25, 2002. Back then, it seemed crazy that two people could fall in love with each other, much less get engaged, in a matter of weeks. And yet, Bachelor Nation continued coming for more, proving that we just can't get enough of the ABC show. If you feel like taking a trip down memory lane, and seeing Chris Harrison in all his glory, it might be time to binge-watch some old seasons.

From seasons one to 22, there have been a whole lot of memorable moments. Thanks to ABC's tribute video to the host with the most, we know that there have been 6,578 kisses, 2,924 roses, and 37 proposals. Unfortunately, Netflix and Hulu won't help you see every single one of them. Neither streaming service offers old seasons. Even ABC's website only gives you access to episodes from the current season. At this rate, it...

Charlie O'Connell is no longer a bachelor. The Bachelor alum married Playboy Playmate Anna Sophia Berglund this weekend. The two tied the knot in Montauk, New York. Actor Jerry O'Connell shared a photo of his brother posing alongside his blushing bride. The groom wore a formal suit and polka-dot bowtie while his new wife wore a long, off-the-shoulder dress.

The former reality star, who appeared on season 7 of the hit show back in 2005, is engaged to 31-year-old Playboy Playmate Anna Sophia Berglund.

Monday night's shocking finale of The Bachelor left some viewers perplexed and dissatisfied with Juan Pablo Galavis, who refused to say that he was in love with his final rose recipient, Nikki Ferrell. Host Chris Harrison and Juan Pablo's fellow franchise alums, newlyweds Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici, were among them. After sending home an angry Clare Crawley, Juan Pablo told Nikki that he had a ring in his pocket but viewers never saw it. "I'm not going to give it to you," Juan Pablo said. "I'm not 100 percent sure I want to propose to you. But at the...

Like many modern Christians, Huff (Charlie O'Connell) has developed his very own warped interpretation of The Bible. The misogynistic stories that Huff reads from his copy of "The Good Book" are purposefully designed to teach his three stepdaughters (Jenna Stone, Elly Stefanko, Amber Marie Bollinger) their proper place in the world, reducing their self-worth to mere sex objects to be traded and sold for the betterment of mankind. It is no surprise that Huff's wife, Lorelei (Elina Madison), is afraid to leave her idyllically attractive daughters alone with their violent and sex-crazed stepfather. Luckily, Huff spends a lot of time with his mistress, Laci (Natasha Alam), with whom he plans to escape to Mexico; but, in order to afford his early retirement, Huff invests in a drug deal that -- of course -- goes horribly wrong. Huff is then positioned to chase his three sexy stepdaughters (the proverbial pigs of this tale) around,...

Who better to find you your next date than "Bachelor" host Chris Harrison? The 41-year-old television personality has been hosting "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" for 11 years -- a gig that has taught him quite a bit about dating, falling in love, and people that aren't in it for "the right reasons."

Harrison is using his knowledge on love to launch a new dating app called At First Sight with "The Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss. The app, which HuffPost exclusively previewed and is available for download on iOS and Android, features video profiles, avenues for chatting, and connecting through social media. "There's an insatiable appetite for companionship," Harrison told HuffPost. "That's the one thing that no matter where I go in the world with this show, and why our show is so successful around the world, is because it's very simple. It's about that one thing that everybody wants, and that's love,...

It's Monday, and we're here to help you spend at least part of the day staring at these incredibly hot images of both Masuimi Max and Nikki Leigh, stars of Full Moon Entertainment's upcoming feature Unlucky Charms. You're welcome.

Bachelor winner Sarah Brice is reportedly planning to auction the ring she was given by former boyfriend Charlie O'Connell.

The All-Star cast of "Bachelor Pad" are revealed. In a series of shots done for promotional effort of the new reality series, familiar faces from the past and current seasons of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" gather at the poolside apparently to show how they are the selected, hot people.

In total, there are 19 men and women who will live under one roof and vie for each other's attention. Unlike the shows they came from, "Bachelor Pad" put them in some sort of game since there is a $25,000 prize at stake. There will be weekly challenges for immunity and chance to date fellow housemate and a house voting for the eliminated bachelor and bachelorette.

Hosted by Chris Harrison and Melissa Rycroft, the all-star edition includes three eliminated men from the running season of "Bachelorette". Jonathan the weatherman will once again compete with the season's villain Craig M. and guy with sexy voice Jesse.

They didn't win the hearts of their respective "Bachelor"s or "Bachelorette"s the first time around, but 19 of the more colorful characters from seasons past will return for "Bachelor Pad," competing against each other for $250,000 or perhaps a "second chance" at love.

Included are this season's "Bachelorette" resident jerk Craig McKinnon and the man who labeled him "dangerous," Houston weatherman Jonathan Novack and Season 5's fame monger with a girlfriend back at home, Wes Hayden.

Meanwhile, they didn't capture Jake Pavelka's heart the same way Vienna did, but last season's "Bachelor" gals Tenley Molzahn and Gia Allemand will both be back to give it another go.

While many contestants are from the most recent seasons, "Bachelor" veterans Gwen Gioia (Season 2, Aaron Buerge) and Krisily Kennedy (Season 7, Charlie O'Connell) are returning as well. Gwen is such an old-timer that her age is no longer being given out.

You don't need us to tell you that maintaining a relationship is not easy. Well, maintaining a relationship with TV cameras on is all but impossible. So we're not surprised by the breakup of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, not in the least. We present to you a list of other notorious, unlucky-in-love reality TV break-ups:

The Bachelors -- ABC's 'The Bachelor' is an entity unto itself when it comes to reality TV breakups. Simply put, the show has a terrible record of couples staying together. How bad? Try one for 14 (or two for 14 if you count Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, technically a runner-up, from Season 13, which we won't).

The only Bachelor couple still on is the most recent, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, and frankly, we don't see that one lasting long. Most Bachelor couples, like Season 3's Jen Schefft and Andrew Firestone,...

Another "Bachelor" couple bites the dust. Charlie O'Connell has called it quits with his chosen lady love Sarah Brice from Season 7 of the popular ABC dating show.

O'Connell tells People, "Sarah and I actually just broke up ... I think it was a mutual break-up. The thing is that we dated for five years ... and [were] just arguing over the same things and stuff like that. And then eventually you've got to go your separate ways."

This is actually the second break-up for the couple. They went their separate ways back in 2007 but later reunited and were featured as one of the "Bachelor" franchise couples during the March 8 broadcast of Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney's wedding. HIlariously, O'Connell kept talking about buying a house, while Sarah kept reiterating not until she had a ring on her finger.

Guess that didn't work out for them. That brings the "Bachelor"/"Bachelorette" couples up...

Precedent continues to frown on recently engaged Bachelor couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi. Season seven's Charlie O'Connell and his winner, Sarah Brice, have called it quits for a second time. The pair first got together on the show in 2005, when O'Connell offered Brice the final rose but no ring. They split in 2007 but reunited sometime last year. In December, he even confessed that they were heading toward a trip down the aisle. "We're getting along and moving forward, so down the line, yes, there's a strong possibility we will get married," he told E! News. Alas, that was not to be. "Sarah and I actually just broke up," the...

Ex-"Bachelor" Charlie O'Connell says he and Sarah Brice, the the woman who won his heart on the seventh season of the show, have broken up. Charlie tells People.com the bloom is officially off the rose in their romance. "Sarah and I actually just broke up," he tells the site. "I think it was a mutual break-up. The thing is that we dated for five years," he continues, "and [we were] just arguing over the same things and stuff like that. And then eventually you've got to go your separate ways." "She's a great girl. I'm sure she'll do great," he adds. The couple split up in 2007 but subsequently got back together. Charlie is the brother of actor Jerry O'Connell.

Having announced the lion's share of its 2010-11 development slate during the Television Critics Assn. press tour, Oxygen Media had few significant surprises in store for its upfront presentation Tuesday. But if the sales pitch was short on intrigue, network brass kept things lively with moxie and research.

On the heels of Oxygen's most successful quarter since it launched a decade ago, Gm Jason Klarman talked up the recent ratings gains and advertising-sales momentum. Speaking before an audience that included NBC Universal president and CEO Jeff Zucker, Klarman said the network closed first-quarter 2010 at No. 18 in primetime among women 18-34, averaging 115,000 members of the demographic. Before NBC Uni acquired the network, a much older-skewing Oxygen averaged about 53,000 women 18-34, according to Nielsen ratings data.

Hard data aside, the network's lineup of brassy unscripted series received top billing Tuesday. Amy Introcaso-Davis, senior vp original programming and development, introduced former Spice Girl...

From a margarita machine in the house to which "Bachelor" required $20,000 of dental work -- the "20/20" special, "Inside The Bachelor: The Stories Behind the Rose," revealed surprising secrets about the hit ABC reality franchise, including, do the couples really get intimate on the show? A show producer divulged that bachelor Matt Grant underwent $20,000 of dental work before making his debut on the show, while it was also revealed on the program that there is a margarita machine on the premises of the house where contestants live during filming. And when it comes to intimacy, "Bachelor" producer Mike Fleiss said that the "average guy has s** with three women throughout the course of the show." The special amicably reunited Brad Womack and the woman he jilted, Deanna Pappas. Womack angered fans by not choosing either of the final two women when he was "The Bachelor," but Pappas went on to...

Last night, ABC gave us front-row seats to the Feb. 27 nuptials of Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, which host Chris Harrison referred to as "one of the most anticipated weddings of all time" with a totally straight face. That's not rice you're seeing in the photo, it's rain. Which brings us to... 1. For some reason (the Bachelor producers are evil?), their wedding planner wasn't able to give them a Plan B for their outdoor ceremony. They began the service during a break in the clouds — with Molly walking down the aisle to Jason Castro singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" — but...

The first wedding from "The Bachelor" was aired in ABC on Monday, March 8, witnessing the union of Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney. The actual ceremony took place at Terranea Resort on the coast of Rancho Palos Verdes, California on February 27 but ABC added some extra footage from the nuptials with the bride's preparation, wrapping it within two hours.

The TV special showed some familiar faces from the reality show such as Trista and Ryan Sutter who were the first and only couple to get married on "The Bachelorette". There were also Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski as well as DeAnna Pappas and Stephen Stagliano. Charlie O'Connell and Sarah Brice who embarked on an on- and off- relationship were spotted together as a couple at the wedding.

A bunch of old faces from previous seasons of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" would be brought back on screen in an all-star edition. A spin-off called "The Bachelor Pad" is brewing and will see memorable contestants living together under one roof in a "Big Brother" type of house. Still, there's a prize at stake.

Instead of mere dating show, "Bachelor Pad" will feature various challenges inspired by incidents from the past seasons. Contestants who do not stand up to the game will be eliminated at the end of each episode.

"All these people have been friends, been enemies, they date each other and bring all this great backstory to the show," Executive Producer Martin Hilton revealed where the concept was derived from. "It seemed like there was an opportunity to combine that world with a new competitive reality show."

Chris Harrison has signed on to be the host but contestants have not been unveiled.

One of the only "Bachelor" couples still together is getting a reality show on Oxygen.

Oxygen has announced that Charlie O'Connell and Sarah Brice from ABC's "The Bachelor" are getting their own reality series titled "When Charlie Met Sarah."

This docu-series "takes viewers back to 2005 when Charlie O'Connell (brother of actor Jerry O'Connell) appeared on "The Bachelor" and decided Sarah was the one to end his single days. Since then, their relationship has been on and off due to Charlie's hard-partying ways. Now, they've reconnected and want to make it work for Real," according to the Oxygen press release.

The conflict will center around Charlie wanting Sarah to move in with him but she doesn't want to without a ring on her finger. Wait -- you don't still have your "Bachelor" engagement ring, Sarah?

What do we think? Anybody still care about this "Bachelor" couple's love life?
