Last week, we learned that the cast of Community (except for Chevy Chase) would be reuniting over Zoom for a table read of season five’s “Cooperative Polygraphy”—the episode where Walton Goggins reads the will of Chase’s character, Pierce Hawthorne, who had recently died off-screen. The news was particularly exciting…

With how quickly things are changing during this ever-evolving crisis, it can be difficult to keep track of which local governments are doing what they can to make sure more of their citizens don’t become ill. Luckily, one TikTok user has wielded the power of song and dance to give an incredibly thorough breakdown of …

Jerry Stiller’s career contained multitudes, from his comedy duo with wife and collaborator Anne Meara to his dramatic stage work, which found him playing roles both on and off Broadway in plays by Shakespeare, Chekhov, and David Rabe. That said, he’ll be remembered by most for his work on Seinfeld and The King Of…

Fourteen begins when its characters are in their 20s, and only moves forward in time from there. The cuts between scenes come to represent jumps of weeks, months, or years in the life of New Yorkers Mara (Tallie Medel) and Jo (Norma Kuhling). Writer-director Dan Sallitt quickly trains his audience to follow along with…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: We’re dusting off a Watch This tradition and looking back on unsung summer blockbusters—the big movies that opened to critical scorn or audience indifference during…

So far, 2020 has felt a lot like living through a long, drawn-out horror movie. An incredibly contagious virus has thrown the world into disarray and twisted monsters wearing skin suits openly discuss sacrificing populations to conjure up money in grim nightly news conferences. Editor Evan Gorski and Michael…

Zoom reunions are becoming commonplace these days, but Frozen star Josh Gad’s swiftly emerged as the master of this dystopian new format.

Jordan Peele’s The Twilight Zone reboot for CBS All Access was a mixed bag of big ideas, bigger stars, and some clumsy execution. Nevertheless, we remain excited for the anthology series’ second season, which just received an official premiere date and trailer.

One of The Office’s worst scenes came during the show’s sixth season. In it, Jim and Pam finally have their wedding, inexplicably inviting a bunch of coworkers they’ve been shown not to like very much for years prior. At the time it aired, all the way back in 2009, a viral video was going around that was popular…

Last week, New Mutants briefly popped up as a digital pre-order on Amazon before Disney yanked it (and some rebellious mid-level intern presumably lost their job). Josh Boone’s X-Men spinoff has suffered repeated delays, exacerbated by Disney’s acquisition of Fox. While many extremely reasonable people have suggested…

The best Dyson deals on vacuums and air purifiers for May 2020 are here.

An interactive episode of television not only has to maintain narrative momentum across multiple viewer-selected story beats, it has to keep its characters engaged, even when audiences are making up their minds. That’s “the art of the stall,” which—according to Jane Krakowski—is the best part of filming a…

It’s hard to know if Ryan Murphy is bored in quarantine like the rest of us or if he’s just having a normal one: The absurdly prolific television creator/producer hopped on a Zoom call with a bunch of American Horror Story regulars, where—he reveals via Instagram caption accompany screenshot of said Zoom call—that…

Jerry Stiller died this week and mourners are celebrating the comedian’s life by bellowing mispronunciations of “Del Boca Vista” in their homes. But, as much fun as it is to revisit Stiller’s role as the irascible Frank Costanza, there’s another era of his career that also deserves a revisitation.

Insecure’s intense fourth season appears to be documenting two things: the erosion of Issa and Molly’s friendship and the steadily budding relationship between Molly (Yvonne Orji) and Andrew (Alexander Hodge). Though the young attorney has had some trouble in the past finding a long-lasting, healthy connection, Andrew…

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is making a triumphant return—offering not just a new episode, but also the first interactive comedy special on Netflix. Using the same technology seen in Black Mirror’s “Bandersnatch,” but with much funnier results, Kimmy Vs. The Reverend tracks the titular eternally optimistic redhead as…

Jerry Stiller, the comedic mainstay and actor who was known for multiple waves of success, has died of natural causes. Son Ben Stiller confirmed the death with a tweeted statement: “I’m sad to say that my father, Jerry Stiller, passed away from natural causes. He was a great dad and grandfather, and the most dedicated…

Time keeps on slipping (slipping, slipping) into the future in episodes VII and VIII of ESPN’s The Last Dance. The timeline that here begins with the Chicago Bulls coming off their third consecutive championship and Michael Jordan announcing his retirement is slowly but surely catching up to the 1997-1998 season and…

It’d be heartening to say that John Oliver finally saw that there was something other than the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to do a Last Week Tonight main story about on Sunday. And the fact that his subject was the United States Postal Service was a hopeful sign—at least until Oliver started off his segment by noting…

Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to say goodbye to one of the original cornerstones of Supergirl’s worldbuilding, The Department of Extranormal Operations. And while I’m slightly concerned the season finale is going to pull some kind of “the DEO is a people, not a place” malarkey, for now let’s hope we’ve…

Rick and Morty has gotten increasingly better animated over the years (and it started off fairly strong, if I remember right), and there were sequences in tonight’s episode that have to rank up with the best stuff the show has done yet; not as wildly creative as the never-ending cavalcade of guest stars from last…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, May 11. All times are Eastern.
