"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" looks set to rise from the grave, with Sarah Michelle Gellar reportedly set to return as her iconic character. This is great news for everyone who grew up watching the original series in the late '90s and early 2000s, but the revival probably won't arrive for a while yet, and that means having to wait impatiently. Still, what if we told you that there's an awesome show that's similar to "Buffy" and flew under the radar at the time of its release? That show exists and it's called "Reaper," and it deserves to be exhumed so it can finally gain the appreciation it deserves.

Created by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters -- who Marvel fans will know for their work on "Agent Carter -- The CW's "Reaper" began life as a spec script for an episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." However, after being inspired...

Josh Gad's new memoir offers some intriguing insight into his career. Along with the highs, the actor shares some of the lower moments, which includes the 2011 comedy Mardi Gras: Spring Break.

In an excerpt from his book, In Gad We Trust, via Entertainment Weekly, the actor explained that he took the role as part of his two-picture deal with Sony and describes it as "the single worst movie I have made - and will hopefully ever make - in my life." Fortunately it wasn't all bad. "I had the time of my life shooting in New Orleans with folks like the magnificent Regina Hall and our ferociously funny writer (and now lifelong friend) Josh Heald," he continued.

That ’70s Show remains one of the most beloved sitcoms, bringing the nostalgia of the 1970s to audiences through the eyes of a group of teenage friends in fictional Point Place, Wisconsin. That ‘70s Show boasted of a stellar cast, in addition to Topher Grace as well.

It proved to be the first big sitcom role for one Ashton Kutcher, who starred alongside his former wife Mila Kunis. While Kutcher played the role of Michael Kelso, Kunis portrayed Jackie Burkhart.

Running from 1998 to 2006, the show’s charm came from the authentic dynamics of its characters, which also includes the protagonist Eric Forman, played by Topher Grace.

However, Grace’s exit after Season 7 left fans with questions about why he left and how his departure impacted the show. This article explores the reasons behind Grace’s decision, the repercussions for the series, and his eventual return in the spin-off, “That ’90s Show.

That ’90s Show is one of the only spin-off comedy series that is actually good. Created by Bonnie Turner, Terry Turner, Lindsey Turner, and Gregg Mettler, the Netflix series serves as a sequel show to the popular period teen comedy series That ’70s Show. It is set in the 90s and it follows the story of Leia Forman, the daughter of Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti as she visits her grandparents in Point Place, Wisconsin, and makes a group of friends there. That ’90s Show stars Debra Jo Rupp, Kurtwood Smith, Callie Haverda, Ashley Aufderheide, Mace Coronel, Reyn Doi, Sam Morelos, Maxwell Acee Donovan, and Laura Prepon. So, if you loved the 90s vibes, classic Red and Kitty Forman energy, and heartfelt friends moments in That ’90s Show here are some similar shows you should check out next.

That ’70 Show...

While That ‘70s Show had its fair share of silly storylines, the sitcom’s low point came with the utterly pointless, bizarrely dark tale of Charlie Richardson. Like most sitcoms that last for more than a few seasons, That ‘70s Show took some time to find its feet, enjoyed relative critical acclaim for a few years, and then fell into decline a while before the show ended its 7-season run. For a frame of reference, the viewership of That ‘70s Show seasons 4-6 averaged around 10 million per episode whereas, by That ‘70s Show season 8, this number had dropped to just over 5 million.

While the success of the Netflix spinoff That ‘90s Show proves That ‘70s Show is still enduringly popular among television viewers, the final seasons of the original show weren’t as well-liked as its best outings. This was due in part to the departure of Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher,...

New Delhi, Nov 8 (Ians) Leading crypto exchange Binance on Tuesday announced a non-binding, letter of intent to acquire its rival Ftx for an undisclosed sum in a surprise development.

San Francisco, Aug 20 (Ians) The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (Fdic) has issued cease-and-desist letters to five crypto companies, including leading cryptocurrency exchange Ftx, over “false and misleading statements”.

Apart from Ftx, Cryptonews.com, Cryptosec.info, SmartAsset.com, and FDICCrypto.com also received cease and desist letters on Friday, with the agency giving them 15 days to remove the “false and misleading statements” from their websites and social media accounts.

The Fdic also mentioned a now-deleted tweet that Ftx CEO Brett Harrison sent on July 20, that read “direct deposits from employers to Ftx US are stored in individually Fdic-insured bank accounts in the users’ names”.

Responding to the letter, Harrison said on Twitter on Friday that “we really didn’t mean to mislead anyone.”

“We didn’t suggest that Ftx US itself, or that crypto/non-fiat assets, benefit from Fdic insurance”, he claimed.

“Per the Fdic’s instructions, I deleted the tweet.

No one says “teamwork makes the dream work” in “Hero Mode,” but that maxim’s corny sentiment nonetheless aptly applies to A.J.

TV show description:

A sitcom set in Garrison, Colorado, The Ranch follows the dysfunctional Bennett family on their Iron River Ranch. Each season of 20 episodes is split into two 10-episode parts, and Netflix primarily ignores season numbering entirely, by using the sequential "part" numbers, instead.

The multi-camera comedy centers Colt (Kutcher). After a fifteen-year absence, including a short, failed semi-pro football career, Colt returns home to help his big brother Jameson "Rooster" (Masterson) and father Beau (Elliott) run the ranch.

It’s last call at Maggie’s: The Ranch‘s upcoming 20-episode fourth season (aka Parts 7 and 8) will be the Netflix comedy’s last, TVLine has learned. The series’ star, Ashton Kutcher, confirmed the news Tuesday on social media.

“The Ranch is coming to an end, but not just yet,” Kutcher announced on Twitter. “We’re excited to bring you the final 20 episodes — 10 later this year… and then 10 more in 2020. Stay tuned!!”

Do not abandon hope, all ye who enter here. While the Reaper TV show was cancelled after two short seasons on The CW, Sam Oliver and Sock are back with a vengeance.

Check out the episode description, photos, and some cast tweets, below. Although they air(ed) on different networks, both supernatural shows were created by Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas and hail from ABC Studios, so the crossover--reunion works on all sorts of levels. Additionally, Reaper, the complete series, is currently available on ABC.com and the ABC app. An ABC comedy-drama, Kevin (Probably) Saves the World stars Jason Ritter, JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Kimberly Hébert Gregory, Chloe East, J.

All of Kevin (Probably) Saves the World‘s secrets are in danger of being exposed.

And one of those storylines leads to “a big game-changer.”

In response to multiple long-brewing sexual assault allegations levied against him, That '70s Show veteran Danny Masterson will be written out of the third season of The Ranch TV show on Netflix. Deadline reports Netflix issued a statement confirming that Masterson's last day on set was yesterday. Production on The Ranch will resume in the new year. As of now, the embattled actor will reportedly appear in those episodes already filmed. Now, the actor says he intends to clear his name of all charges.

The new shows that make up the bulk of the fall broadcast TV season fall into pretty obvious categories: military drama (“The Brave”), medical drama (“The Good Doctor”), family comedy/annual expansion of the Chuck Lorre empire (“Young Sheldon”).

And then there’s “Kevin (Probably) Saves the World,” the ABC drama airing Tuesday nights, which doesn’t fit neatly into any box in particular. The official synopsis, per ABC:

Kevin Finn (Jason Ritter) is not a good person. He’s not terrible, but he’s selfish, and clueless, and values material wealth and status over all else. And he’s beginning to realize that those things aren’t making him happy – in fact, he’s fairly miserable. Just when things seem to be at their worst, he finds himself tasked with an unbelievable mission… saving the world…

American comedy Reaper was the slacker Supernatural. With great writing, great jokes and Ray Wise, what more could you want?

At the time of writing, the American television networks’ ‘fall’ season of 2015 is a month or so around the corner.

Too little too late, but ABC has finally found the perfect companion piece for "Pan Am." A bright-and-glossy dose of '60s nostalgia mixed with easily digestible proto-feminism, ABC's "Astronaut Wives Club" premieres on Thursday (June 18) night, more than three years after "Pan Am" was cancelled and I suspect they're likely to be remembered in the same way: Period dramas with high production values, a fantastic cast that ABC will look back at yearningly and unrealized creative potential obscuring otherwise solid storytelling. Is there a hypothetical TV series about the wives of the Mercury astronauts that's more than a slightly superficial, slightly choppy and slightly misfocused showcase for fine performances and some snazzy retro-style? Absolutely, but there's still some virtue to this sort of watchable, somewhat nourishing summer entertainment, even in a landscape that's overflowing with summer viewing options. Thursday's exposition-heavy premiere episode begins in 1961 with Louise Shepard (Dominique McElligott...

What makes a great summer series? Something flashy, breezy, easy to Dv-r and binge at a later date, perhaps. Beach reading, but on your TV. In fact, it really deserves a separate scale. The epitome of a great summer show may be Fox’s The O.C., which ran in the mid-aughts, and came (in part) from Stephanie Savage. Savage also has developed ABC’s new drama The Astronaut Wives Club, and with it, another well-suited summer show (though one that's still looking to ignite). The series, based on a book by Lily Koppel, details the home lives of the Mercury 7, a true-to-life group of men (including John Glenn, played here by Sam Reid) who were chosen by Nasa for their fledgling space program in the early 1960s. The families were also heavily managed for appearances, with deals made with press outlets like Life magazine to convince the American public that...

Jessica Simpson is in love, and she doesn't care who knows it. The singer celebrated an anniversary with her husband, Eric Johnson, on Thursday by posting a sexy photo on Instagram.

It's unclear exactly what significance May 21 has to the couple, but Jessica's caption implies a number of things. Is it a metaphor for the first time they met? Did Eric just walk up to her house and go inside? Was it the first time they kissed? Was it their first date? There are so many unanswered questions! While we may never know what Jessica meant,...

Fox is giving up on its Saturday night animated line-up, Broadcasting & Cable reported. While the younger viewers the animated block aimed for never showed, an additional issue was that Fox affiliates were frustrated by the number of complaint calls the crude humor inspired. The studio behind the Animation Domination High Def block will continue to create programming but will focus on the web.

Bret Harrison has joined the cast of the ABC drama series Astronaut Wives Club, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He’ll play the “hotshot young gun” husband of a character played by Odette Annable, who previously starred in Breaking In with Harrison.

That ‘70s Show Season 8, Episode 21, “Love of My Life” & Season 8, Episode 22, “That ‘70s Finale”

In this decade it’s extremely difficult to find a sitcom that is as perfect as That ‘70s Show was. This show was, and still is, one of the best coming of age/high school set sitcoms (after Freaks and Geeks of course).
