Let’s do one more TVLine Spotlight, shall we…? Hosted by EIC Kim Roots #DWTS
Thank you Pete Doocy for single-handedly bringing “armed underpaid school teachers” back into the conversation 🙄
Oh right, Katie Britt is the loon who have that creepy Republican response to a Biden SOTU.
Oh god it was stupider than rumored.
WELL YEAH
My fellow gentlemen, can we please stop hitting the seat? Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Lemme guess, The 2 pm Announcement will be ready "in two weeks."
That thumbnail is... something else.
Hopefully it’s for Volpe.
Underappreciated ‘Endgame’ performance

This action franchise bracket is really a massive undertaking by @jacoboller.bsky.social, so read it, share it, and vote in the poll! (Or you might find yourself falling backward off a precipice in slow motion 👊)
3 years ago today... #SheHulk twerked with Megan Thee Stallion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEgO...
Whoa.
That’s a start.
I need a #Meatballs oral history. It is so aggressively mediocre, and Bill Murray repeatedly risks a hernia trying to save it.
Doing some handyman work, rocking a vintage TVLine tee.
Well played
Someone educate me. This is just people incrementally clapping as cast and creatives in attendance are named / stand up / climb on stage afterward…?
Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,
It’s cheesy trash. Not sure how I fell into a rewatch.
Not straight to streaming! I saw it first in a movie house!!

'Motorheads' has officially run out of gas: The YA car shop drama has been cancelled after one season at Amazon's Prime Video.
The Roses looks so unappealing.
… and a mind palace ballroom dance scene as a kicker. Choices! #StrangeNewWorlds
Some acting choices… were made here. #StrangeNewWorlds
Vulcan Chapel can get it.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe we lost seven #SNL cast members after Season 47: Kate, Aidy, Pete, Kyle, Melissa, Alex and Aristotle. So, for this shakeup heading into Season 51 to be even bigger, we’d need to lose at least four more players.
This begs the question, why is that?
WTF
one of the most important travel tips I can give if you’re going out of the country is to download a huge backlog of podcasts while you’re abroad, because then you come home and all your podcast ads are in spanish, or they’re for tesco or etc. audio souvenir!
For #PrisonBreak's 20th anniversary, EP Dawn Olmstead has curated three "best of" collections for Hulu:
Some days since Jay gave me the news have been a bit better than others. But today… seeing NYC staff member offices get cleared out as they go remote for TVLine’s new owner… has been breaking my heart for four hours straight. I will miss this team so terribly much.

Yeah, I guess the way I see it, when Marcy ended, Wendy began. And there is no being on Earth more Marcy than Wendy. Her having evolved perhaps differently is mot much different than if Marcy spent a summer away with an aunt in London.
How is Wendy not Hermit’s sister? What’s the argument? #AlienEarth
Nooooo. Not my wife.

Every TV character's cell phone has the same 15 apps (and always Apple TV, regardless of the streamer/network). Are these simply the default factory installs?

Always shocking that This Is Us never won for best drama, but it lost to Handmaids Tale, Thrones, Thrones, (not nominated), and The Crown.

19 years ago today, Fox's '24' was named Best Drama at the Primetime Emmy Awards — the last time a network series won that category.

Time for the annual re-share of the best press kit packaging ever. One could say it was a 😎 home run.
The last thing I would (schedule to) publish at TVLine. Apt! Also captured, my morning ritual of letting staff know I was on the bus/walking to office.

Guys, @ryanschwartz.tv was a FIND. One of two interns we then hired out of college, and both are still with TVLine. (Fun workplace fact: In 15 years, *no one* ever left TVLine to write for a rival.) Ryan's a damn terrific reporter. (I need to save the rest for my staff goodbye speeches.)
Then again, maybe I will hit the pro pickleball circuit, though I'm a 3.5 at best. "Stay tuned," as they say.
What’s next? After 15 years of diligent, passionate work on behalf of this homegrown PMC brand.... TVLine will be a tough act to follow, yes, but I love and know too much about this business to stop writing about it now, at the spry age of [SPOILER].
I am also pleased to see the TVLine staff — the hardest and smartest writers that a bustling site could ask for, but more importantly just wonderful people — continue on. With one exception. Myself.
Michael and I are delighted to see the brand endure with Kimberly Roots -- one of the finest writers I have known, and a true leader -- running things as Editor-in-Chief.
It was 15 years ago this October that Michael Ausiello asked me to be first on board for the thrilling venture that became TVLine. Since Day 1, TVLine has fulfilled its "All TV, No Interference" mission, as a site where editors lean into their expertise to write about what they want to write about.
Big, bittersweet news. The digital publishing industry has been facing tremendous headwinds. That is why I am grateful that TVLine, launched in January 2011 by Jay Penske's PMC, has found a path forward as a Static Media property. www.status.news/p/wall-stree...

TVLine can exclusively reveal a first look photo from 'Tracker' Season 3, which features Justin Hartley and returning guest star Jensen Ackles.
Just got home from the Eric Adams scavenger hunt. We had to find 300 children’s teeth hidden in the alley behind Zero Bond, and use them to build “an electric chair for rats.” The winners got to keep the teeth. I hate this city.

How long has this campaign been been running? Very clever. “ if you remember these two, it may be time to start Neutrogena.”
#KPopDemonHunters really proves that every time this industry underestimates teenage girls, it leaves a billion dollars on the table.
...and said style is...? (Sincere Q, never heard of this chain!)
Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.
Today’s NYT crossword gimmick is silly. Disappointed.
