Deutschland 83, Season 1, Episode 1, “Quantum Jump”

Written by Anna Winger

Directed by Edward Berger

Airs Wednesdays at 11pm (Et) on SundanceTV

Germany isn’t known for its television programming. While Scandinavia has produced worldwide sensations like The Killing, The Bridge, Wallander, and Borgen, and France exported The Returned, Germany has been largely content to get by on its reputation for fine beer, upscale autos, and rabid soccer fans, while importing most of its TV dramas.

There were some indications that Germany’s long disinterest in television artistry was coming to an end in 2013 when Generation War (Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter) premiered to mostly positive reviews. The World War II drama, which follows an idealistic group of young friends as they are changed by war, was broadcast in Germany and Europe as a mini-series and initially released as a film in the U.S. before landing on Netflix in serialized form.

Jimmy Fallon cradled his newborn daughter, Winnie Rose, while leaving his home in NYC today. This is the first time we've seen the new dad out with his baby girl since she was born in July. Jimmy and his wife, Nancy Juvonen, welcomed their first child late last month. Jimmy announced the big family news in his Late Night monologue before sharing a sweet photo of Winnie on Instagram.

On Tuesday, Jimmy Fallon and wife Nancy Juvonen welcomed their first child, Winnie Rose Fallon. After a night off, Fallon returned to his "Late Night" hosting seat on Wednesday and his excitement was obvious from the get-go.

"Welcome, everybody, to 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon', I'm your host Da-Da." He then went on to announce, "I'm the father of a beautiful baby girl. So cute. Her name is Winnie Rose Fallon."

And with that, at least for us, George Alexander Louis' reign of terror as the most important baby alive was over.

Fallon went on to confess, like pretty much every new dad we've ever seen, "I hope I don't screw this up."

Something tells us he's got this.

Watch Fallon's opening monologue above and let us know if you, like us, are 100% sure he named his baby after Winnie Cooper.

Ryan O'Neal regrets blaming the mothers of his kids for their drug problems, insisting the off-hand remark was "unfair".

O'Neal's sons Griffin and Redmond are currently incarcerated in jail and rehab for drug-related issues, while the actor's daughter Tatum has battled drug abuse for years.

The Love Story star recently blamed the children's mothers Joanna Cook-Moore and Farrah Fawcett for their woes, but during an appearance on Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday, he accepted the full brunt of the blame.

He said, "That was unfair of me. I'll take credit for it all... I'm the father.

"I take the full responsibility for as much of it as I can. Some of this they were able to do on their own."

Earlier this week (begs30Apr12), O'Neal confessed to being a bad dad, admitting he could have done better when his kids were growing up.

During an interview on U.S. breakfast show Today on Tuesday, the actor said, "I wasn't trained."...

For five seasons, "Private Practice" has concerned itself greatly with whether its lead character would have a baby. Addison Montgomery moved to Santa Monica to see her fertility-specialist friend, and after many trials and tribulations, including several rounds of fertility treatment and a failed adoption, she finally was approved for adoption two episodes ago.

So why is Addison, the world-renowned neonatal surgeon who went through so much to have a child, now putting her newborn son's life in danger? And, for that matter, why is "How I Met Your Mother's" furiously prepared dad-to-be Marshall Eriksen also exposing his forthcoming child to risk?

Last week's "Private Practice" and Monday's (April 30) "How I Met Your Mother" both featured scenes that, to parents of infants, set off tons of alarm bells. The "Himym" example was less egregious, so we'll get to that later. What aired on "Private Practice" was far worse, particularly...

Tough guy Mark Wahlberg, who would have single-handedly prevented the 9/11 attacks, admitted in an interview that he often cries during movies. "I watched 'The Help' with my wife, and I cried seven or eight times during the movie," he said, adding: "[While watching] 'Tangled,' I was bawling my eyes out, because it's about a girl who gets taken away from her parents. Any movies where kids are taken from their parents just tear me up." Wahlberg went on to say that he's a different person now than he was twenty years ago and it's because of his family. "I'm the father of two boys and two girls, so I'm more an emotional wreck."...

Now that I'm the father of a 2-year-old girl, I'm at the point where we're diving into my old collection of Dr. Seuss books and obsessing over their brilliance on a daily basis (I truly believe that "Fox and Socks" is one of the craziest books ever written). Here, artist DrFaustusAU does a great job of imagining what the cover of a Dr. Seuss book would look like if it were about Ghostbusters, and now we desperately want to read it out loud, or to ourselves, or to those ghosts up on the shelves who look like elves. Count them, there's twelve! Click image to enlarge [via Boing Boing]

RZA of the pioneering hip-hop collective discusses his directorial debut, playing Glastonbury and the next generation of Wu talent

In 1993, way before most members of current gonzo rap collective Odd Future could even walk, New York City's Wu-Tang Clan were busy reinventing hip-hop. At the time, the genre was dominated by west-coast rappers and G-funk, with Dr Dre and Warren G creating hypnotic, synth-heavy summer anthems that usually involved someone driving a convertible that "bounced" in the video. By November of that year, Wu-Tang Clan's classic debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), had cast a long shadow with its lyrical wordplay referencing everything from martial arts movies to darkly humorous threats of violence. They were in complete contrast to what was popular, with classic soul samples eerily interwoven with aggressive, gritty beats and early press shots featuring all nine members hidden behind makeshift masks. If Odd Future have recently...

Once upon a time, there were two men in love ...

2:05Pm Est: It would have to be a Fangston day today. But on the bright side, maybe it'll be a Jessica day, too.

And it is! Perfect!

Bo and Nora are discussing his marriage proposal. And we get the boredom trifecta today.

The custody battle gets underway. Tbtd says that Sky found out he's not the father, and so has dropped his petition. Oliver stands up and says "I'm the father, but I don't have a lawyer cause Sierra keeps loading her diaper and I gag every time I try to change her, but I'm trying my best, and I want full custody."

2:10Pm Est: Yeah! we get to see Dorian one last time. I think I'll miss you the most, scarecrow.

Egads! What the hell is Dorian wearing? it looks like a rubber bath mat.

Growing up my parents used to take me to Disneyland all the time. We lived 6 hours away but it was always a yearly trip for me and my two brothers, who loved fighting and hitting each other in the back of my Dad's truck. I have no idea how that man didn't pull over to the side of the road and put a slug into the back of our heads, but he somehow managed to get through each vacation without wanting to bury us head first at the side of the road. During the 80's Disney added what I called the Tron tunnel to their PeopleMover attraction. It was one of the coolest things I had ever seen. Riding in a small moving train around Tomorrowland was a lot of fun. You got to see the speeding cars of Space Mountain fly by you, watch people shrink and go on adventures in inner space,...

As the search on Llantano mountain continues, will Oliver be able to hold his tongue from Rex?

Get your minds out of the gutter. You know what I mean.

Join us for the fun and refresh for updates!

2:05Pm Est: We start with Little Red Riding Ho wandering the mountain clutching the shoplifted basketball under her coat.

How adorable is Fub when he's bundled up? Rex asks "Why is Schuyler's name in Stacy's will? Oliver hems and haws.

Meanwhile, Sky , not having breadcrumbs, leaves a trail of blood behind him, mumbling "I'm the father".

McBaaain carries an unconscious Natalie into an abandoned shelter. Omg! They escaped the burning car!

Dorian sees an imaginary Mel and Charlie sees an imaginary Jared. Hey, aren't ghosts supposed to be naked?

2:10Pm Est: Oh dear. Now Natalie is seeing Jared. Ooh, when do get to see those little squiggly demons from Ghost...

I will say this for Old Dogs: It is exactly as funny as you'd expect a movie to be that stars John Travolta and Robin Williams as two bachelors who must suddenly take care of precocious 7-year-old twins, and that was directed by the man who made Wild Hogs. Which is to say, it is not the least bit funny, not once, not even for a minute. Imagine a season's worth of plot devices from TV's most generic sitcom crammed into 88 excruciating minutes.

Here are the thoughts of Williams' character in this frantic, contrived mess: I had a one-night stand seven years ago, and it turns out I'm the father of twins! And now I have to babysit them for two weeks! But I'm working on the Big Account at my job, and I don't have time! Oh no, they don't allow children in my condos -- apparently not even temporarily,...
