Much of the coverage of Amazon’s $8.45 billion deal to acquire MGM has focused on the company’s film attributes and the impact on theatrical distribution.
The executive shuffle on the film side, featuring the likes of Michael De Luca, will get a lot of headlines, as will the importance of owning IP and a film library that can feed Amazon’s hungry video services. But the Lion’s television business has been one of its most profitable divisions in recent years and the mega-deal will certainly put a new focus on this unit.
There will be inevitable attention paid to which classic MGM film properties Amazon Prime Video and its sister streamer IMDb TV can reboot, but the deal could also have a major boost on the streamer’s unscripted fortunes. Then there are question marks over the future of Epix and of MGM Television as a stand-alone entity.

HBO Max has given a script-to-series order to an adaptation of the classic children’s novel “The Westing Game,” the streamer announced Wednesday.
No writer or director is attached to the project, but HBO Max, along with producers MGM Television and Julie Corman, is “currently interviewing” candidates.
First published in 1978, Ellen Raskin’s “The Westing Game” is described as an “ensemble mystery-comedy” surrounding the death of millionaire Samuel Westing. The reading of Westing’s will sets in motion a game for his sixteen heirs unlike any other, the winners of which will walk away with his $200 million fortune.
The novel won the John Newbury Award for children’s literature in 1979 and was ranked number one on the list of the top 100 children’s novels of all time by School Library Journal in 2012.
“The Westing Game” previously received the screen-adaptation treatment with a 1997 made-for-tv movie starring Ashley Peldon, Diane Ladd, Sally Kirkland...

The Westing Game is getting a small screen adaptation after HBO Max handed MGM and UA Television a script to series order.
The classic novel, which was written by Ellen Raskin and first published in 1978, follows the bizarre chain of events that begins when 16 people gather for the reading of a millionaire.
No one knows why eccentric, game-loving millionaire Samuel W. Westing has chosen a virtual stranger, and a possible murderer, to inherit his vast fortune by playing one last game.
It’s described as a Knives Out-meets-Agatha Christie ensemble mystery-comedy. The book won the Newbery Medal and was number one among all-time children’s novels by School Library Journal in 2012.
Julie Corman, who owns the rights to the novel, will serve as executive producer on the series. Corman, producer of films including Crazy Mama and The Lady In Red and wife of Roger Corman, produced a TV movie...

The other installments in our Lizzie Bennet Week have led up to this. The fictional vlogger has released her final update, thanking her fans for tuning in to all 100 episodes. The content of the vlog is very lovey-dovey, with Lizzie sharing tender moments with both Charlotte and her little sister Lydia. Such an upbeat tone is consistent with the end of Pride and Prejudice, where everyone gets hitched and they all presumably live happily ever after. As previously mentioned, the end of Lizzie Bennet Diaries is far from the end for Bernie Su and Hank Green's practice of adapting classic literature for the web series format. The Welcome to Sanditon companion series will release in May, and a new book will adapted starting sometime this summer. While Emma is the odds-on favorite, I also stand by the other six source material choices I proposed yesterday. A few honorable mention: The Great Gatsby,...

Mindy Kaling may love shopping just as much as Kelly Kapoor, her character on “The Office,” does (just check out Kaling’s clothes-obsessed Twitter feed @mindykaling) but she’s a bit more cerebral than her TV counterpart. The actress, a Dartmouth graduate and writer/producer at “The Office,” cites acclaimed playwrights with the same fondness she displays for the Encyclopedia Brown series. Kaling’s high- and lowbrow appeal is on fine display in her book of essays, “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns).” Bookish sat down with her for an interview and quickly understood why fans often tell her she reminds them of a close pal.
Bookish: When you were a little kid, what was your favorite book?
Mindy Kaling: I loved a book called "The Westing Game," which was a murder mystery. It didn’t really condescend to kids, which I liked.

Some of my favorite memories of my childhood involve waking up, feeling sick, and getting to spend the day in bed watching game shows. As a result, one particular show, Win, Lose, Or Draw, holds some very dear memories from my youth. The concept was simple: Get a clue, draw it, have your team of D-list celebrities try to guess what the clue is, and either win or lose. The 80s = Good Times. (Also the show.) So we were pleased to find this clip from WLorD (as we experts used to call it) come to the surface on Youtube. In it, Pixar’s main man Lee Unkrich — director of such classics as Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story 2 & 3, and Silk Stalkings — goes up against the likes of Edie McClurg and a handful of Cosby sweaters to achieve WLorD gold. Does he do it? Click play to find out. Yeah that’s right.

People we thought we knew turned out to be shadows of their former selves, handsome Latino doctors stroked our cheek, and our waspy mother formed the phrase, "Thank you."
Hell hath frozen over, for Bizzy Montgomery is in love.
Her longtime (and secret) lover, Susan, is ill with ovarian cancer, and after a successful surgery, Addison and Dr. Rodriguez believe they have cured her. On the day of her wedding to Bizzy, Susan reveals to Addison that she believes the cancer is back, only to pass out on the dance floor later that night.

When The Mentalist first arrived on the scene, I had serious doubts that it would make it past the first few episodes. Apart from the general idea that my love for a show is often the kiss of death, I just wasn’t sure this show was going to connect with audiences. It’s just one of those shows. It’s either going to work very well, or people are going to hate it, but there isn’t a lot of middle ground.
Worse, perhaps, though I’m a fan of the supporting cast (especially Cho – Tim Kang), audiences are pretty well required to fall in love with Simon Baker, and while I was rather fond of The Guardian, I wasn’t at all sure where the collective pulse lie after we got Smith and a few less than glorious film roles.
To my great surprise, based on certain assumptions about the public,...

Try not to think too hard about the canon in Scooby-Doo's history.
While I was watching my screener copy of Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare, a friend bewilderingly asked if they still make Scooby-Doo cartoons after all these years. I didn't want to explain the chronology of these characters at the time, so I just said yes. I'll elaborate here. To date, there have been 11 television series and 27 movies/specials starring the hungry Great Dane with a speech impediment. Camp Scare is the 15th entry in an annual direct-to-video movies line by Warner Bros that started in the late 90's.
I have not seen all of them, but I believe I've got a handle on the primary gist of the concept.
The goal of these standalone movies is to simply return the gang to their roots. Past TV series have attempted to rejigger the concept: from teaming them up with assorted...

Talk about a hot read: Yesterday, Variety reported that Mandalay Pictures had snagged the much-coveted rights to Sophie Jordan’s young adult novel Firelight, a book that has been picking up sizzle ever since its release…on Sept. 7. Yes, as in Sept. 7, 2010, just two weeks ago.
Clearly, Hollywood has its eyes fixed on the young adult world, with every studio clamoring to release the next Twilight. (Or, as we will likely be saying soon, the next Hunger Games.) But while there’s certainly demand for a Firelight film — the book, about two teenage descendants of dragons, has been buzz-y since...

Welcome to the Gossip Girl Round Table, where the illustrious TV Fanatic panel reflects on the events of "It's a Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad World" and previews what's to come.
Below, DANdy, Gossip Guy and Mister Meester take on Monday's top lines, Jenny and Serena's feud, Blair's comeback, Rufly's marriage, Eric's awesomeness and more:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote last night?
DANdy: Not sure if I can repeat it here, but it involved Rufus, the neighbor downstairs and a differently spelled, gerund version of the verb "to come."
Gossip Guy: Definitely Blair threatening her new Columbia frenemies, "Oh you wanted to see a Blair Waldorf takedown? Cross me again and you'll experience one first hand." I don't want to see Blair mature, I want the Queen B back.
Mister Meester: What Gossip Guy said, followed by Dan's list of acceptable topics (Jersey Shore and food) and anything out of William's mouth.

Episode Title: "Olivia. In the Lab. With a Revolver."
Written By: Matthew Pitts
Story: A man dying of cancer is going around intentionally exposing specific victims to his disease — but cancer isn't supposed to be contagious, and it's certainly not supposed to kill an infected host mere minutes after exposure! Cue the Fringe team, as Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) begins to realize that this isn't just any man, but one of her former Cortexiphan classmates from Jacksonville.
But the sick man is just one pressing matter on Olivia's plate, as the tightly wound special agent debates whether or not to betray Walter (John Noble) by telling Peter (Joshua Jackson) the truth about his alternate reality origins.
Cancer Man & The Cortexiphan Kids: Cool name for a band, no? Mysteries of the week are always compelling when they have interplay with the overarching mythology of "Fringe," which was exactly the case in tonight's installment.

Let’s call this one The Dumbest Decision Yet. But before we get to Survivor… for all of those concerned, my cushions… are dry. Hallelujah. Such a big relief. You really don’t know how good you have it until you undergo a major crisis such as wet outdoor patio cushions. I didn’t even share that when I called Pottery Barn - I mean when my assistant, actually my free intern, called Pottery Barn - they said those cushions were not being made anymore. Say what?!! I truly thought for a moment, “What am I gonna do?" But then...

Andy Richter killed on Celebrity Jeopardy, but uh, Wolf Blitzer? Wolf Blitzer did not kill at all. He misidentified a picture of a bowl of pasta as fettuccine (it was mostaccioli, which looks really really different), said "Julia Childs" instead of Julia Child, and then things took a turn for the even-worse. In the E Times 3 category -- where all the words have three Es -- Wolf had a few choice answers: Answer: King David and Jesus both hailed from this town. Wolf: What is Jerusalem? ("O little town of Jerusalem..." Come on, dude.) Answer: An accused person in court, along with his counsel Wolf: What is a defendant? (One E too few, Wolf. Try defense.) Answer: Selected some material from a larger work Wolf: Annotated. (He didn't even have the "what is" in there. And that's not what annotated means, and it only has one E. So, three-fer.

Looking back on the summer of ’09, a summer of big-scale action blockbusters alternating with star-studded smaller pictures and a few scaled-down gems, it’s easy to forget that tent pole franchises have been around longer than most would care to admit. Scooby-Doo, for one, is still going strong, with a new show and a TV-movie prequel coming out this fall. A bit of research reveals that the series on this DVD, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, ran from 1969 to 1973, consisting of 25 episodes over the course of 2 seasons. Banking on nostalgia, this single volume presents four episodes of the first season, “The Backstage Rage”, “Bedlam in the Big Top”, “A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts”, and “Scooby-Doo and a Mummy, Too.”
Anyone familiar with the series and its many incarnations (including two feature-length films) will be no stranger to the wafer-thin plots each of the episodes has to offer. With the show just starting out,...

The soft-boiled crime dramedy Get A Clue (Two Detectives. No Clue) features the moody and anger-management-challenged Jack Stone (Peter Berube), along with his pastel-colored, chipper, goody-two-shoes sidekick Lindy Langley (Jill Slattery), who together are out to solve their first case: the disappearance of ‘doggie superstar’ Captain Sparkles. The puny pooch is beloved and favored by his owner, Mrs. Sparkles, at the expense of her son, Jeremiah, who feels forgotten. Other characters dot the landscape of this whodunit, odd couple series – the gardener, the dog’s manager – to flummox our mystery-solving path. The introduction of two pet detectives (animals that are actually law enforcement officials, not Jim Carrey types), rabbits Fluffkins and Cottontail of the Lapd Detective Unit, amps up the pet-centric novelty of the series, and begins to separate out more crime drama-leaning viewers in favor of the fanatical Buns and Chou Chou talking-pet set. The furry little guys don...
