Just when you thought you had seen the last of Joe Millionaire: For Richer Or Poorer stars Steven McBee and Calah Jackson, they show up on a new reality television show. This new reality show features Steven McBee, his father and four brothers. It also featured the girlfriends of the five men and all the drama their relationships encounter.

The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys

The name of the new series starring Steven McBee and Calah Jackson is The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys. It features Steve McBee, Steven McBee’s father. Along with the father and son, three other family members are intricate parts of the reality show’s cast. Cole, Jesse and Brayden are Steven McBee’s three brothers.

The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys chronicles the lives of the McBee men, their relationships as well as the family business. The family business is cattle ranch and farm.

It’s make or break for McBee Farm and Cattle on the new docuseries The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys. This new reality series centers on patriarch Steve McBee and his four sons Steven Jr. (Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer), Jesse, Cole, and Brayden as they run the family biz together. A venture capital firm deal of more than $100 million could transform them into a billion-dollar business or their high-stakes approach could lead them into financial ruin under a mountain of debt. Cameras also capture the dynamic between the brothers who are working to impress their dad in hopes they’ll be next in line to run the company. Outside farming and ranching, Steve, a recent divorcé, has gotten back in the saddle of dating. However, things get a little dicey with one of the women being Galyna, McBee’s CFO. And we haven’t even begun discussing his kids’ love lives.

Yellowstone is coming to an end, and it's not only Paramount who will suffer.

As the key to Yellowstone streaming, Peacock loses a golden goose, too.

What better way than to introduce a real-live ranch family who, like the Duttons, are fighting for their future in a dying world?

Peacock has announced a new original unscripted series, The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys.  

The series, from Jeff Jenkins Productions, follows patriarch Steve McBee, the hard-working founder of the family business, and his four sons:

Steven Jr. the business-minded heir apparent; Cole, the underdog who works hard in the field; Jesse the quiet cowboy, and Brayden, who has the least interest in farming. 

The docuseries reveals the high-stakes world of farming and ranching in rural Missouri and what it takes to be a real American cowboy.

Viewers will also get a behind-the-scenes look into a family dynasty and the sibling rivalry...

Primetime on Thursday was all about TV’s long-running dramas, as NBC’s Law & Order and Law & Order: Svu duked it out against ABC’s first Station 19-Grey’s Anatomy crossover event of 2022.

Rockmond Dunbar, an original member of Fox’s ‘9-1-1,’ has exited the show over his refusal to get a Covid-19 vaccine, Variety has confirmed.

His character, Michael Grant, was written off Monday evening’s show due to differences about new Covid protocols on the show. The show, produced by 20th Television, now requires actors to be vaccinated.

Dunbar applied for religious and medical wavers to the requirement but was denied.

Fox and 20th Television confirmed his departure, which the social media account for the show tweeted about last night.

ABC released a trailer for the “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Station 19” crossover event airing on Nov. 11.

In “Things we Lost in the Fire,” the “Station 19” episode at 8 p.m., Theo (Carlos Miranda) and Vic (Barrett Doss) hit a relationship milestone as Vic deals with her commitment issues, while Dean (Okieriete Onaodowan) considers a new career opportunity as Andy (Jaina Lee Ortiz) stays at his home and helps care for Pruitt. The firefighters must also handle a life-changing neighborhood explosion.

In “Bottle Up and Explode!,” the “Grey’s Anatomy” episode at 9 p.m., the Grey Sloan doctors must also work through the explosion, which triggers Owen’s (Kevin McKidd) Ptsd, causing his sister Megan (Abigail Spencer) to ask Winston (Anthony Hill) and Hayes (Richard Flood) for support. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) meet a familiar face who assists in their study.

Girl Talk is a weekly look at women in film — past, present, and future.

Three decades into her Hollywood career, Heather Graham is making some changes. The long-time actress has always mixed things up in her work. Even as a teenager, she always seemed interested in working with a wide array of directors on some very different projects, playing the object of Corey Haim’s affection in the teen comedy “License to Drive” and turning in an Indie Spirit-nominated supporting turn in Gus Van Sant’s “Drugstore Cowboy” in the space of a year. Her best-known roles also reflect that same spirit, and Graham is just as recognizable for her work in the first “Austin Powers” film as she is for her heartbreaking spin in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Boogie Nights.”

But that still doesn’t mean she was getting all the parts she wanted. “As an actress, sometimes you...

And it’s not just any old episode the actress got to helm. Rather, “For Richer or Poorer” (airing Monday at 9/8c) drops the none-too-tiny bombshell that Dr. Maura Isles once was, for a brief moment, married to rich kid Edward Dunn (played by Life Unexpected‘s Kristofer Polaha).

You know who is undisputedly 100 percent fabulous and also 100 percent a lady? Brenda Strong. Strong is a fantastic actor that you probably know from "Desperate Housewives.” She played Mary Alice Young, the woman who (spoiler alert if you live in the year 2002) killed herself in the pilot episode and then went on to narrate every single episode that followed, with only two exceptions when other characters narrated. Over the course of nine seasons, Strong's voice became one of the most familiar on television. And now, she’s back in another deliciously sexy, suspenseful, and fantastic new series on TNT, "Dallas."

Hostel Part III

Director: Scott Spiegel

Starring: Kip Pardue, Brian Hallisay, John Hensley, Sarah Habel, Thomas Kretschmann, Chris Coy, Skyler Stone, Nikola Shreli

Sony Home Entertainment

Review by J Astro

As regards the Hostel franchise and its peers, I suspect that many diehard readers of Famous Monsters might primarily be more at home with the “classic” monster archetypes such as zombies, vampires, aliens, etc. In fact, the horror community in general has been rather vocal as of late in hastily brushing aside the “torture porn” trend that has inundated the genre scene in recent years, and which was partly ushered in by Rob Zombie, Eli Roth, and the Saw franchise. Like all fads, it rapidly engendered a lot of imitators, some passable but most direly inferior, and soon the backlash was apparent in critics’ dismissal of such grisly, one-note affairs as just another one of “those” movies.

He's growing up right before our eyes. Michael Angarano(Sky High, Lords of Dogtown) has been around longer than people think, getting his start in horrible movies like For Richer or Poorer and Music of the Heart(sorry it sucks), before getting what was probably his big break as a recurring character on Will & Grace. Since then he's become a more than capable leading man, and one that has been...

Kirstie Alley – Kirstie Alley has emerged as one of the great actresses of her generation, proving time and again that she is capable of great depth and range, as well as possessing comedic timing second to none. Kirstie’s work in television has earned her seven Golden Globe and eight Emmy nominations, winning one Golden Globe, two Emmys and three People’s Choice Awards. She co-wrote and starred in Showtime’s critically acclaimed comedy “Fat Actress,” and played the title character, as well as serving as executive producer, on the NBC sitcom “Veronica’s Closet.

The main film this weekend is Avatar and that's obvious, but there are a few films opening in limited release to begin discussing as they will be expanding further in the coming weeks. Let's get to it.

Avatar It's the talk of the Internet and I am anxiously awaiting box-office returns. I hope this film will be a big hit because it's a lot of fun. Unfortunately I had to skip a second screening of it last night to finish up writing this weekend's reviews or I would be able to say I've seen it twice. I expect most of the regular movie fans that frequent film sites such as RopeofSilicon.com will be sure to check this one out this weekend and I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks.

This film is rated PG-13 for intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language and some smoking. Click Here...

E! Entertainment Television is taking viewers inside the mansions of the super-rich residents of Beverly Hills in a new reality series titled High Maintenance 90210.

The half-hour series will profile the "outrageous and hilarious work environments of domestic staffers as they navigate the challenging, chaotic and often over-the-top world of the super-wealthy and super-demanding," E! said. The six-episode series is set to debut at 11 p.m. Jan. 1.

High Maintenance 90210 is produced by Prometheus Entertainment in association with the Bubble Factory. The executive producer is Kevin Burns, an Emmy-winning filmmaker behind E!'s top-rated reality show, The Girls Next Door, and president of Prometheus.

"Our new series combines a voyeuristic look at the ultra-rich with executive producer Kevin Burns' comedic wit," said Lisa Berger, executive vp original programming and series development. "Two of the biggest success stories at E! have been 'Dr. 90210' and 'The Girls Next Door.' We believe that this is a winning combination, and we hope that viewers will agree."

Also executive producing are the Machine's Jon Sheinberg, who has produced such films as Passenger 57, Hard to Kill, For Richer or Poorer and Flipper, and Jack Lippman, owner of the Elizabeth Rose Agency, a Los Angeles-based domestic placement agency.
