Sitcom co-stars have to relate to each other on screen, as well as off screen. They have to manage the on-screen relationships they portray in tandem with off-screen relationships that could be friendly, ambivalent, or downright hostile. While on-screen relationships sometimes mirror real life, co-stars often have to deal with the fact that on-screen and off-screen relationships aren’t always the same.

For those who’ve studied or worked in advertising, last night’s game was always going to be secondary. There’s a whole media-loving subculture for whom the game is all about the ads - and things have gotten even better this year: despite the general fragmentation of the TV-watching audience, the audience for the Bowl and for its commercials has only increased. Everyone seems to have their favorites this morning, but here are the ten that caught our eye, the 10 Best Super Bowl Ads of 2016....

With the release of the film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s successful mashup novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, we started thinking – what other classics would we love to add zombies to? And it’s not just novels. There are plenty of movies that would be pretty awesome if they were zombified, too. Here are 12 Classic Movies That Would be Better with Zombies. Back to the Future At the end of the movie, Biff (Thomas F....

Judging by the poor reception of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, DC’s cinematic universe seems like it could fall apart before it even really gets going. Warner Bros. has promoted Geoff Johns to Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment, which will hopefully bring more optimism to the films themselves as well as reassure fans who may have their doubts. But their next film, David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, could quickly launch the DCEU into glorious success....

The Pokémon franchise is a gargantuan, worldwide phenomenon. Being around for 22 years as of this writing, the staying power of this franchise is astounding, rivaling other juggernauts like Power Rangers and Transformers, but somehow remaining even more cherished. However, with great popularity comes an immense amount of heresay and rumors. After the debut of the original show and the Game Boy games, playgrounds across the world were flooded with excited, frenzied talk about the games, the show, the countless characters, the titular Pokémon and, most importantly, the many secrets of the Pokémon World....

Magic increasingly plays a major role in the MCU with characters like Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch dealing with greater and greater supernatural threats. That continues with Werewolf by Night which introduces several powerful magical beings from Marvel Comics, including Man-Thing. More lurk in the comics, including some MCU fans, can expect to see soon. Sasha Baron Cohen will reportedly play the demonic entity Mephisto in the upcoming Ironheart Disney+ streaming series....

The Discovery Channel’s Fast n’ Loud is a show about Gas Monkey Garage proprietor and businessman Richard Rawlings and his crew as they transform bad cars into nice, profitable customs. It’s not all fun on wheels, however. The Gas Monkeys have squabbled among themselves, feuded with other shows, and made some sudden staff changes. It’s no secret that reality is to reality TV what food is to fast food. Through on-set coaching, weird guidelines for participants, or just straight-up deceptive editing, the stuff that gets to our screens bears about as much resemblance to real life as a burger does to a cow....

Comedy TV shows tend to fall into two basic camps. Many aim to be family-friendly fare like Full House, never diving too deeply into any heavy or potentially inappropriate subject matters and always keeping their jokes light and innocent. Others, like Friends, hide a shocking amount of inappropriate and sometimes downright controversial humor behind their catchy jokes. As it turns out, there are often just as many wild and crazy times behind-the-scenes as there are onscreen....

Nobody expected a whole lot from Clueless when it was released in July of 1995. It appeared on the surface to be yet another teen comedy, largely indistinguishable from the hordes of others Hollywood had unleashed over the years. But critics praised the movie, proclaiming it to be much smarter than it looked. Then audiences outside the core teen demographic started buying tickets for it, too, thanks to stellar word-of-mouth. In the end, the movie became a sleeper hit, evolving into a certified genre classic over time....

Some fans love a good romance, while others just want to see the action. Luckily for both kinds of fans, the Naruto franchise has plenty of both. This time around, we’re here for the romance. When a franchise begins to develop a following, there are the inevitable theories concerning just which characters will end up together. Sometimes, fans never get to find out if their favorite characters find romance. With Naruto, though, many of the characters went on to appear in Boruto....

When Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone (Sorcerer’s Stone in the US) was first published in June of 1997, no one could have predicted that it would create a rabid fanbase on its way to universal success. From humble beginnings sprang six more books, eight movies that have grossed over $2 trillion at the box office and multiple theme parks with more content from the wizarding world in the works....

Glee was a television show that ran for six seasons from 2009-2015, and became a cultural phenomenon among young adults. “Gleeks” were out in full force to discuss how much they loved their show and each Glee Club member. The show was based in a world where a high school Glee Club was full of intensely talented students all working towards the goal of winning a National Championship. The group would experience many highs and lows as a team, but always grew closer as a Glee Club....

A family drama gives fans the opportunity to become involved in the lives of a large group of characters, and it’s fun to see how they grow and adapt over the seasons. Parenthood and Party of Five might seem like very different shows at first glance. However, they’re both TV dramas about family members, they both ran for six seasons, and they both made you cry. Let’s compare these two family dramas and see what each one does better than the other....

It’s been a long time coming, but Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has finally arrived. Bandai Namco’s combat flight series was once one of the mainstays of gaming, starting with the initial release of Ace Combat back in 1995, and finally a seventh iteration of the main series is here. Thankfully, the wait has been worth it. Rather than changing up the formula, Ace Combat proper is back with Ace Combat 7....

A security researcher has shown that AirTags can be weaponized by injecting code into the phone number field before placing it into Lost mode and dropping it in strategic places. Apple has confirmed the finding. When someone finds the AirTag and scans it, they will be redirected to the website of the attacker’s choice, which could include a fake iCloud login to report the find … Boston-based security consultant Bobby Rauch discovered the vulnerability back in June, informed Apple, and said he would allow the company 90 days before publicly disclosing the flaw....
