This Star Wars article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian.

No, your eyes weren’t deceiving you while watching “The Foundling,” Chapter 20 of The Mandalorian. That is indeed a Star Wars character and actor you’ve seen before and not just in the ways you might think. The actor who plays Grogu’s savior in the Order 66 flashback doesn’t need any introduction: it’s Ahmed Best, who is best known to Star Wars fans as the performer behind Jar Jar Binks. But that isn’t a Gungan saving a defenseless Baby Yoda from the clone troopers who are after him. It’s Jedi Master Kelleran Beq who has his own surprising Star Wars legacy that goes beyond the Mandoverse.

You see, Kelleran’s first appearance in Star Wars wasn’t in a movie, another scripted TV series, or in the pages of the books and comics. Kelleran was actually Best...

This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of The Mandalorian.

The new episode of "The Mandalorian" — Chapter 20 - The Foundling — brought a character into the official canon that many of us never expected to see. Kelleran Beq was first introduced in "Star Wars" for a YouTube show called "The Jedi Temple Challenge." This show was a love letter to the obstacle course shows of Nickelodeon from the '80s and '90s, like "Double Dare" and "Legends of the Hidden Temple." Ahmed Best (who portrayed Jar Jar Binks in the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy and in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars") hosted the show in character as a Jedi Knight named Kelleran Beq, and it was his job to train Jedi younglings. The show itself followed his lead as a teacher. His character was nicknamed "The Sabered Hand" and he was renowned for his skills. More than that, he...

For this month’s installment of “TV Terrors” we revisit “Aaahh!!! Real Monsters,“ the fondly remembered Nickelodeon animated series that aired from 1994 through 1997.

Every Nickelodeon fanatic has their period where they thought the network really hit their stride. For me, 1994 was their real peak of pure kids entertainment. It was a time where they’d tapped into a wonderful momentum with programming blocks like Saturday Night’s Snick, weekday morning’s Nick Jr., and excellent series like “Rugrats,” “All That,” “Legends of the Hidden Temple,” “The Secret World of Alex Mack,” and a whole lot more.

It was also the year that “Aaahh!!! Real Monsters” premiered.

Debuting officially on October 30th, 1994, the program was another of the many Klasky-Csupo produced animated shows that had dominated the airwaves for most of the Nickelodeon golden age. Breaking in to their tendency to spotlight the lesser explored corners of our society, “Aaahh!!! Real...

Every year, The CW television network airs new and continuing TV series. Many are cancelled and many are renewed by the season's end. Although everyone understands that Nielsen ratings usually play a big role in TV cancellations and renewals, most fans do not get to participate in that system. So, we are offering you the chance to rate CW TV shows here, instead.

The CW TV series that have aired (so far) during the 2021-22 television season: 4400, All American, All American: Homecoming, Batwoman, Bump, Charmed, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Devils, Dynasty, The Flash, Great Chocolate Showdown, In the Dark, Killer Camp, Kung Fu, Legacies, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Leonardo, March, Masters of Illusion, Mysteries Decoded, Nancy Drew, Naomi, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Riverdale, Roswell New Mexico, Superman & Lois, Tom Swift, Two Sentence...

For audiences who grew up in the '90s and 2000s, Nickelodeon is primarily known for its animated shows, like SpongeBob SquarePants and Hey Arnold! and its scripted live-action shows, such as The Amanda Show, All That, and Kenan & Kel. However, the channel has also aired a number of game shows over the years.

Dee Bradley Baker will make his return to Legends of The Hidden Temple, more than 20 years since the original series’ first run. Baker is set to reprise his role as the voice of Olmec in the upcoming reboot for The CW.

The reimagining of the popular ’90s show hails from Stone & Company, which produced the original series that ran on Nickelodeon for three seasons between 1993-1995. Set to debut October 10 at 8 p.m. Et/Pt on The CW, the adult version will preserve many of the original show elements including Moat Crossings, The Steps of Knowledge and the Temple Run as well as the team names such as Purple Parrots, Blue Barracudas, Orange Iguanas, Red Jaguars, Silver Snakes and Green Monkeys.

Dee Bradley Baker will reprise his role as the voice of Olmec, the large animatronic talking head, on The CW’s reboot of “Legends of the Hidden Temple.”

“When we asked Dee Bradley Baker to return as the one and only Olmec, our giant talking stone head, and he said, ‘Let’s Rock,’ that was all I had to hear… Olmec lives!” executive producer Scott Stone said in a statement.

Based on the Nickelodeon game show created by Stone, David G. Stanley and Stephen R. Brown, “Legends of the Hidden Temple” involves four teams competing in various obstacle course challenges in a mysterious jungle for a grand prize. The CW reboot will preserve fan-favorite elements of the original, including the “Olmec,” the “Moat Crossings,” “The Steps of Knowledge” and the “Temple Run.”

The series will also keep the original show’s team names: “Purple Parrots,” “Blue Barracudas,” “Orange Iguanas,” “Red Jaguars,...

Olmec, being a fan favorite of the series, brings an integral character to the show as voiced and puppeteered by Baker. As previously announced, writer, producer, actor and comedian Cristela Alonzo is set to host the CW series. “Legends of the Hidden Temple” will premiere Sunday, Oct. 10 (8:00-9:00 Pst).

The Flash and Riverdale are the last shows back, returning Tuesday, November 16, for what the network describes as five-episode fall events.

Both Riverdale and The Flash will be airing their current seasons for another few months yet, so the move makes sense.

Nancy Drew, which is relocating to Fridays, will return Friday, October 8.

It’s useful, then, that her mother (Crystal Balint) promised Kelly’s babysitting services to her ice queen boss Ms. Zellman (Tamsen McDonough) and her problem child Jacob (Ian Ho). But when that adorable child gets snatched by the same otherworldly creature that once haunted Kelly, the hapless caretaker is thrown into a secret underworld and gets her first lesson in A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting.

Quibi is perfect for all of us who can't seem to find the time to watch a full-length TV show. The streaming service, which launches April 6, will offer "quick bites" of content, hence its name. The episodes are all 10 minutes and can only be streamed from your phone - for the low price of $5 to $8 per month. The platform's founder Jeffrey Katzenberg recently told Vulture that the plan is to spend over $1 billion on fresh content within the first year, and he's clearly not messing around, considering the platform already has dozens of original shows slated to stream once Quibi is available. Big-name stars like Sophie Turner, Demi Lovato, and Chance the Rapper will have shows of their own. For the more than 70 other shows streaming on Quibi, keep reading.

Quibi’s April 6 launch is inching closer, and the mobile short-form streaming service made an aggressive sales pitch Wednesday morning at CES in Las Vegas.

The upcoming platform, created by longtime Hollywood and Silicon Valley power players Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman, has raised plenty of eyebrows since its unveiling in 2018, and not just because the streaming service will only work on mobile devices. Episodes of each Quibi series will run under 10 minutes, and the platform, short for “quick bites,” has tapped a dizzying array of high-profile actors, content creators, and major companies to create or invest in the service. Katzenberg and Whitman told CES attendees during a keynote that the service will release roughly 175 series within its first year, which they say would equate to around three hours of new content every day.

Instead of being filmed at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida, Quibi is bringing the show to an undisclosed jungle location. The challenges and the prizes are both bigger this time around as well, according to Quibi.

Written and executive produced by Jonny Umansky, in Serendipity, Harry and Claire fall in love one fateful night, are separated by circumstance and then spend years trying to find one another again … with a little help from the universe. Miramax Television is the studio.

“I’ve been madly in love with this movie for more than half my life,” says Umansky. “Never has the world needed a show like Serendipity more, and the love stories we have in store are big, bold and filled to the brim with whimsy and wonder.”

The 2001 romantic comedy film, directed by Peter Chelsom, revolved around Jonathan (Cusack) and Sara (Beckinsale) who share a dessert at New York restaurant Serendipity 3 after a chance encounter at a department store.

Nickelodeon's Rocko's Modern Life revival is now landing on Netflix with a set release date.

It's been two years since we first learned about the Rocko's Modern Life revival. Now the film is heading to Netflix and finally has an official release date. Titled Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, the film is set to release on August 9th, 2019.

The film picks up where the original series left off (Rocko and his friends mistakenly blasted off into space). Rocko's ran from 1993-1996 with 52 episodes over four seasons. Series creator Joe Murray will serve as executive producer of the (for now) one-off revival. You can read our behind-the-scenes feature story on the revival here.

"I'm very happy to be rejoining Rocko and my friends from O-Town again,” said Murray in a press release when the film was announced. “What I have found by bringing these characters back is...

Hulu has released its list of content arriving at the streaming service this June, as well as everything that will no longer be available to watch there after June 30.

At the top of the must-watch list is season three of Hulu Original “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which was notably pushed back to a June premiere date in order to ensure it would “maintain the quality it has,” Craig Erwich, Hulu’s Senior Vice President of Originals, said at the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour in February. The first three episodes of the new season premiere on Hulu June 5, after which new episodes will be released every Wednesday.

Another Hulu Original of note is “The Weekly” series from The New York Times, coming June 3. Each half-hour episode will feature a Times journalist investigating one of today’s most pressing issues, with new issues being explored each week.

As Nickelodeon turns 40, the kids’ network is finding ways to rely on its past as it presses boldly into the future.

“My goal is to fill up every screen of every size to make Nick kids’ first and last stop for everything they want in entertainment,” says Nickelodeon Group president Brian Robbins, who succeeded long-time Nick veteran Cyma Zarghami last year in Viacom CEO Bob Bakish’s reorganization of the media conglomerate. Robbins has a long history with the channel, dating back to his role as co-creator of “All That” in 1994.

“There’s no doubt kids are consuming a ton of content in many different ways,” he says. “The good news is we live in a world where brands still matter, and Nick is absolutely a giant brand that still matters.”

While ratings have been on the decline on the linear channel — down 29% in total viewers in 2018 — as they have...

The groundbreaking kids sketch comedy show is returning to Nickelodeon. We have details on the All That revival...

The execs at Nickelodeon have been all about embracing the network’s animated past. A new Hey Arnold film, upcoming features for Rocko’s Modern Life and Invader Zim, and a planned Rugrats revival are in the pipeline. The network also tapped into its rich game show IP, successfully introducing Double Dare to a new generation and reimagining Legends of the Hidden Temple as a TV movie. The network’s strategy of using its ‘90s and ‘00s hits to connect generations proves a little harder when looking at its hit live-action shows; shows like Clarissa Explains It All, Sneaky Pete, Kenan and Kel, and The Amanda Show were all character driven by the child stars of the moment. All That, with its sketch show format, is the outlier, and...

“All That” was the show that kept on giving to Nickelodeon over the course of a decade in the 1990s and 2000s. Now the company’s president thinks a revival of the sketch-comedy series could be all that — and more.

Nickelodeon will revive the program — a “Saturday Night Live” for the tween set — with an all-new cast. But the show will have callbacks to its past as well. Kenan Thompson, the long-running “SNL” cast member who got his start on television when “All That” launched in 1994, will serve as an executive producer. Nickelodeon expects some former cast members to make appearances in the series.

The sketch comedy show “stayed in the zeitgeist for many years,” Brian Robbins, president of Nickelodeon, tells Variety. “People are really fond of it.” One regular sketch, “Good Burger,” was set in a fast-food restaurant with a clueless cashier, and served up the premise for an...
