When it comes to acting, hands don’t get much steadier than Stephen Root. After getting his start in the New York theater world, Root parlayed bit roles in movies like Ghost and Crocodile Dundee II into steady work in Los Angeles on TV sets, before ultimately landing NewsRadio in the mid-’90s. The sitcom would eventually run for five seasons and end right around the time that perhaps his most iconic film role, that of Milton in Mike Judge’s Office Space, was debuting in theaters. The confluence of the two projects — along with Root’s voice role on King of the…

MeTV Toons is set to expand its daytime lineup next month with the debut of Cartoon Carousel, a new programming block designed to highlight a different classic animated series each week.

Under the new format, one vintage cartoon will occupy the entire weekly slot, giving viewers repeated opportunities to catch full episodes or themed groupings from that particular series.

Widow’s Bay could blow all of them out of the water. Apple TV’s quirky horror show earned 19 Emmy nominations, the most this year for a first-season comedy. However, due to its two supporting actress bids and three picture…

Most of the routines performed by the Toros and the Clovers featured stunts that aren’t actually allowed in high school competitions. “There are illegal moves,” Reed confirmed in an interview with HuffPost. “There are some collegiate moves in there that are not high school moves…that would probably be disqualified. At the time, when we were making the movie, if one of these things came up, we erred on the side of what works dramatically or what worked best for us visually.” That’s alright, that’s OK with us! 19. The film’s ending was a point of contention among the filmmakers, as there was…
