The late ’90s to early 2000s was a wild time for Nickelodeon live-action comedies. Though not as (in)famous as the Disney Channel Stars, Nickelodeon’s lineup was nothing to sneeze at. Example: Drake & Josh, a show responsible for repeating things for emphasis and possibly launching people to stardom. …Ok, that’s questionable. But that doesn’t erase the fact that some primetime TV stars were barely even guest stars on Drake & Josh....
Though there were a lot of heartbreaking moments from Avengers: Infinity War. One of the most effective was Vision’s death. Not only did Wanda have to kill him to prevent Thanos from getting the last stone, but she then had to watch as Thanos brought him back only to kill him again.

For years the word “mid-season” has been seen by TV fans as a scarlet letter, often signaling an inferior show. Yet times have changed and now shows held for “mid-season” are more often held back to gain a competitive advantage rather than just to burn off a mistake. This year, the major networks have one of a more solid mid-season slate of rookies than they’ve had in a while.

All things considered, the currently contentious relationship between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark is a sad statement on our partisan times. Marvel Comics has been happy to present its characters as often squabbling among themselves or even coming to blows, but for most of their publishing history, Steve and Tony have been pretty tight. They’re two alpha males who oftentimes find themselves isolated from the world: Steve by the decades he spent on ice and the feeling that somewhere in his heart, it’s always 1945; Tony by a brilliant mind that’s always carrying him five or twenty years into the future....
Few shows this century (or ever, if we’re being honest) have had the lasting impact of The Wire.

Opening with a delve into Baltimore’s drug trade, the series wove through the struggle of the working class, the workings of politics, and the school system, before bringing the media and how we consume it into focus....

Pretty much every A-lister under the sun has experienced their fair amount of rejection. What separates them from the rest of the pack is their continued ability to keep coming back for more. Unfortunately, it’s also that mantra that has resulted in some pretty awkward situations for those looking to make it in the movies – the kind of situations that have lived on long after the credits have rolled....

This powers the auto-play/pause feature. This detection can sometimes be fooled, however, when you place loose AirPods down onto a desk or onto your lap for a short time....
