The Brits are undoubtedly predominant stakeholders in the comedy industry as they have, over the years, produced mind-blowing shows that will leave you trying to catch your breath from unending laughter. There was, however, fear that the industry would decline after the renowned “golden era” ended with Monty Python in 1974 and then the Fawlty Towers in 1979. This only proved to be a motivation for other rising stars who went on to produce popular shows such as The Day Today (1994), Father Ted (1995-1998), Spaced (1999-2001), Keeping Up Appearances (1990-1995), Outnumbered (2007-2016) and Peep Show (2003-2015)....

Some select members of the press got to see over 27 minutes of footage from Disney and Lucasfilm’s The Mandalorian, the first ever live-action Star Wars TV show. And the overwhelming consensus is that this truly ‘feels like Star Wars’. It has been called a throwback to the original trilogy, with a story that takes place just after the events seen in Return of the Jedi. While an episode was not screened in its entirety, it appears that enough was shown to win over some very critical minds....

Known for his buffoonery and countless moments of awkwardness, Michael Scott is simultaneously the funniest and endearing character on The Office, who constantly exclaims many unintentionally problematic comments. However, we can’t help but love the self-proclaimed “world’s best boss”, faults and all. Some of the funniest moments in the show involve Michael Scott in some form or another. Whether he’s spouting out “That’s what she said”, having an argument with Jan at the world’s most cringe-worthy dinner party, or, let’s not forget, his many personas....
Back in October, we reported that NBC had passed on The Office spin-off series The Farm.

Today, we have word that The Farm episode will still air as an episode of The Office....

There’s something strangely appealing about the desert. It’s an ocean of fine sediment, one home to a plethora of unique flora and fauna that simply can’t survive outside the scorching heat and dry air. It’s a setting closely associated with images of taming the wild west, exploring unknown horizons, discovering new people — and death. We’ve all seen the jokes about desert mirages and the dangers of dehydration, and while those are often played for laughs wherever they come up, it’s a legitimate hazard when navigating the sandy tundras....

Speaking with Comicbook.com, Hughes described his remake of The Raid as a “reimagining” and fully understands the power and the legacy of the original....

While for some it may seem too great of a feat, others see it as a necessity to get the best experience and opportunities out of life. Hollywood seems rather indifferent towards college education, instead focusing on raw talent rather than academic credentials. That said, many actors do hold academia in high esteem. It may seem obvious that actors would choose to focus on acting when attending college, but that’s not always the case....
