The act of creation can be a difficult process. Painful even. Sometimes excruciating. Take, for instance, the writing of the "Gilligan's Island" pilot.
Sherwood Schwartz was no babe in the entertainment industry woods when he set out to bring the tale of the S.S. Minnow's two-man crew and five passengers getting shipwrecked on an uncharted island somewhere far off the coast of Hawaii. He broke into show business as a radio writer for The Bob Hope Show in 1938, and found additional work on the radio version of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet." He segued to television in the 1950s when he joined the staff of the early sitcom "I Married Joan," put in six years on "The Red Skelton Show" and was ready to pitch a show of his own in 1963 when he hit upon the idea of a particularly calamitous three-hour boat tour.

Will Hanna and Joe Barbera might be credited for popularizing a form of animation that allowed it to be produced at a tremendously rapid clip. Looking at the producing pair's early works like "The Huckleberry Hound Show" and "The Quick Draw McGraw Show," one can see "limited animation" at work. That is: characters were designed in such a way that only parts of them would need to be animated to complete a scene. Faces were conceived at three-quarters, letting characters look to the side or full front depending only on their eyes. Necks were covered by ascots or ties, allowing heads to be animated while bodies remained static.
Because of this design, Hanna-Barbera could produce multiple animated series on a notoriously fast TV production schedule. Hanna-Barbera exploded in the late 1950s, and dominated Saturday morning through the early 1980s.
The crown jewel in their output was, of course, "The Flintstones,...

In early 1970, Brian Wilson called Beach Boys manager Fred Vail to a Los Angeles hotel room to propose an idea that was outlandish even by his wild standards: a country music album with Vail on lead vocals that he’d produce. The fact that Vail was a businessman without any formal singing experience didn’t strike Wilson as any sort of obstacle.
“I said to him, ‘Have you written any country songs?'” Vail recalls to Rolling Stone. “And he said, ‘Well, no.’ I said, ‘Do you have any idea...

Roger Ebert said an Elvis Presley movie with Nancy Sinatra would become fodder for insomniacs. He compared it to the sitcom The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. The movie came out shortly before the ’68 Comeback Special.
Nancy Sinatra co-starred in one of Elvis Presley‘s movies. Superstar film critic Roger Ebert wasn’t impressed with either of their performances. Despite this, Elvis released two hit songs from the movie’s soundtrack.
Roger Ebert felt 1 of Elvis Presley’s movies captured none of his early charisma
In a 1988 interview published on RogerEbert.com, Ebert discussed Elvis’ movie Speedway. “Speedway is the late show of 20 years from now, I suppose,” he said. “What will it tell the insomniacs of 1988 about our society?
“For one thing, they will probably wonder why we considered Elvis a sex symbol,” he said.” He is as respectable on the screen as Dick Powell ever was,...

These days, Rob McElhenney seems to spend a large chunk of his time running a Welsh football club and hanging out with Ryan Reynolds. But he's also somehow found time to keep the show he co-created, "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia," running into what is now its 16th season.
The show already broke a record with its 15th season, becoming the longest-running live-action comedy series in American TV history, overtaking "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" to claim the top spot. For a show about a gang of degenerate yet lovable sociopaths, that's quite an achievement, especially considering it almost went off the air after its first season, before McElhenny and his cast agreed to add some special sauce in the form of Danny DeVito. It's also impressive considering "It's Always Sunny" managed to beat out other shows and claim the record for the wordiest show on television, reportedly delivering...

In the early days of television, the “Big Three” networks ruled the small screen. ABC is the baby, entering the new medium a little behind its competitors, and finding new and creative ways to find success against two mighty opponents.
ABC found its earliest success with two programs that had begun on radio, “The Lone Ranger,” which was the network’s first big hit, and “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,” a sitcom loosely based on the life of the real-life Nelson family. The latter remained on the air for 14 seasons, and was the longest-running prime-time comedy for decades, and the longest-running live action sitcom until 2021. However, ABC still struggled against the firmly established NBC and CBS, and found innovative ways to compete.
In 1954, ABC and Walt Disney struck an unprecedented deal: the network helped finance the filmmaker’s ambitious Disneyland Park, while Disney produced a weekly TV show for the network.

Season 16 of Fxx’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia will premiere on June 7, 2023 with the release of the season’s first two episodes. New episodes will arrive on Wednesdays at 10pm Et/Pt.
The critically acclaimed comedy holds the title of the longest-running live-action comedy in television history. Way back in December 2020, FX Networks bestowed early seasons 15, 16, 17, and 18 orders on the half-hour comedy, and the series booted The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet out of the top spot with its season 15 debut.
Series creator Rob McElhenney joked about his master plan for the series back in Dec. 2020. “When we first pitched Sunny, we saw it as a 36-season arc,” said McElhenney. “We are so excited to be halfway there.”

Christmas is truly the gift that keeps on giving for the television business and for viewers.
Dating back to the 1940s, there have been nearly 2,500 TV episodes and specials with Christmas themes according to a list on Wikipedia. Sitcoms have provided the most content with 813 episodes dating back to 1952.
For the variety show treatment, Perry Como got things rolling with the first of his The Perry Como Chesterfield Supper Club — Christmas Special in 1948. Old Blue Eyes himself joined the party in 1950 with The Frank Sinatra Show: Christmas Show in 1950. The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show’s Gracie’s Christmas dropped that same year.
Sitcoms and dramas followed soon thereafter. CBS crime drama Suspense (“Dancing Dan’s Christmas”) aired in 1950.

Halloween clearly makes for some good TV.
The love affair started as far back as 1952, when ABC ran an episode of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet titled “Halloween Party,” possibly the first Halloween-themed tie-in for a network show. That episode featured the first role for another actor who would be come part of early days of TV, Jerry Mathers, who went on to star in the classic Leave It to Beaver.
Other early shows that delivered Halloween themes included The Honeymooners, Lassie and The Andy Griffith Show.
After its early success, pretty much every show on TV jumped on the Halloween bandwagon, some more so than others. Bewitched and Sabrina the Teenage Witch were obvious candidates, and they aired five and six Halloween episodes, respectively.

As any home media hunters of a certain age know, securing a VHS copy of David Lynch's 1977 debut feature "Eraserhead" was a Herculean task. Cassettes were rare, and the ones the public could access were typically living in libraries or video stores who would not sell them to you. If you were willing to shell out 80 to 100, in 1992 dollars, then maybe you could cut a deal. Some resourceful collectors could scoop up a well-worn Japanese LaserDisc, but only the more extreme collectors owned LaserDisc players. "Eraserhead" was, for many years, effectively out of print.
After the release of "Mulholland Drive" in 2001, however, Lynch began examining new types of media as well as the ever-growing DVD market and decided that it was high time to keep up with an evolving landscape. In 2002, Lynch -- owning the rights to "Eraserhead" as well as his early short films -- remastered and released a pair of tiffany DVDs,...

So, what do the 4th Primetime Emmy Awards, which took place Feb. 18, 1952, have in common with the 2022 edition?
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.
The stars of the No. 1 TV series, CBS’ “I Love Lucy,” were the hosts of the Emmy ceremony, which was telecast in Los Angeles on Kcea, now known as Kabc. And it was the first time that the Emmys embraced national television networks. Previously, nominations and awards were bestowed on projects that were produced or aired in Los Angeles.
This year, Amy Poehler’s valentine of a film, “Lucy and Desi,” not only received strong reviews but six Emmy nominations including Best Documentary or Nonfiction Special and directing for Poehler. The Amazon Prime doc won two: writer Mark Monroe and composer David Schwartz.
Traveling back to the 1952, the ceremony took places at venerable nightclub, the Cocoanut Grove. It must have been a short show because only seven awards were handed out.

Gene Lebell, who had an acting and stunt career that stretched from The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet to 24 and who the WWE called today “a towering figure in the world of martial arts,” has died. He was 89.
Lebell reportedly had more than 1,000 TV and movie credits, mostly as a stuntman, but also as a heavy, often a fight referee and sometimes a colorful background character. Dubbed “The Godfather of Grappling,” he faced off onscreen against Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Bruce Lee. He refereed Muhammad Ali’s infamous fight against Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki. Holding a 10th degree red belt in Judo and a 9th degree black belt in Ju-jitsu, helped train everyone from Lee to Norris to “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Ronda Rousey.
“Gene was the guy who taught Bruce Lee about grappling,” according to comedian, podcaster and UFC color commentator Joe Rogan.

Pat Rosson, a son and grandson of cinematographers who appeared on The Andy Griffith Show, The Twilight Zone and the soap opera The Young Marrieds as a child actor in the 1960s, has died. He was 69.
Rosson died April 28 of a heart attack in Los Angeles, his daughter, Maria Delilah Rosson, told The Hollywood Reporter.
On “Runaway Kid,” which premiered in November 1960 as the sixth episode of CBS’ The Andy Griffith Show, Rosson played George “Tex” Foley, whose circumstances teach Opie (Ron Howard) a lesson about trust and keeping promises.
A month later, he appeared on CBS’ The Twilight Zone on the season two episode “The Night of the Meek,” which starred Art Carney as a down-on-his-luck department store Santa Claus.
On ABC’s The Young Marrieds from 1965-66, Rosson portrayed Jerry Karr, a youngster in the middle of a custody battle between his biological mother,...

Here are a few bits of trivia about the beloved family sitcom “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.” It ran 14 seasons from 1952-66, a record until Fxx’s “It Always Sunny in Philadelphia” kicked off its 15th season last year. But “Philadelphia” has only aired 162 episodes compared to a whopping 435 for “Ozzie and Harriet.”
Despite the fact it aired 14 years, the series only cracked the top 30 in its 11th season where it came in 29th place. The exterior shots were actually of the Nelsons’ real home at 1822 Camino Palmero Street in L.A. (it recently sold for 5.9 million) and the interiors were recreations of their own home. Though the TV Ozzie didn’t seem to have a job, the real-life Ozzie starred, produced, co-wrote and directed “Ozzie and Harriet.”
Topics were far from controversial. There was a whole episode revolving around the fact that a local store delivered new chairs that they hadn’t ordered.

Mira Sorvino has played her fair share of women from the past, most famously portraying Marilyn Monroe in the 1996 TV movie, “Norma Jean and Marilyn.” Her latest series, the Starz horror-comedy “Shining Vale,” sees Sorvino play a muse (of sorts) opposite Courteney Cox portraying a writer looking for her next hit. As a 1950s ghost haunting Cox’s Pat Phelps, Sorvino appreciated Rosemary’s devilish “glee” at getting a second chance to live through Pat and her family.
For the actress, there’s certainly an awareness of how things have progressed for women since Monroe’s day — part of Rosemary’s attraction to Pat is that the latter lives in a more permissive era — and yet so much remains mired in the past. “Being a member of the female gender sets us up for such a different life than, say, if we were a straight cisgender white male from an affluent background,...

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia recently finished its 15th season and Archer is going into its 13th season.
However, neither show is heading toward the end of its line, according to FX Entertainment President Eric Schrier.
Sunny, which with its latest season beat the record for longest running live-action comedy, bypassing The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, was renewed for multiple seasons in December 2020, taking it through to its 18th season.

“It’s interesting with that show,” Schrier told Deadline. “The guys have been doing it for so long. As long as they feel that they creatively can maintain its vibrancy, they want to continue to do it. Creatively, the show is excellent, and we think the last season was as strong as ever. The fans love the show, so we’ll keep going as long as as they want to keep it going.

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” Season 15, Episode 8, “The Gang Carries a Corpse Up a Mountain.”]
After a quick glance at the title, two things are immediately clear about the “It’s Always Sunny” Season 15 finale: Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), Mac (Rob McElhenney), Charlie (Charlie Day), and Frank (Danny DeVito) are going to carry a dead body up a mountain. But just as certain as the promise laid out in writing is its inevitable consequence: They’re going to drop that body. Probably more than once. And it’s going to be pretty damn funny when they do.
Such a simple premise may seem like a far cry from where Season 15 began: with the gang worming their way into some of America’s most-recent marquee mistakes. Mac and Dennis fuel voter fraud claims in the Presidential election. Frank’s illegal hair-dying business during lockdown humiliates Rudy Giuliani on TV.

It’s always sunny in Ireland?
The first official trailer for Season 15 of FX Network’s It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia offers some clues as to the latest misadventures of the Paddy’s Pub gang, and the series certainly doesn’t seem to be playing it safe a decade and a half into its record-breaking run.
As previously announced, the comedy will address the “strange new world” of the Covid era, and the trailer illustrates just that. We see someone – looks like Glenn Howerton’s Dennis Reynolds – doing a good impression of the QAnon Shaman, while Frank (Danny DeVito) admits to a previous and unsavory acquaintance. Mac (Rob McElhenney) considers the priesthood, Dee (Kaitlin Olson) can’t quite grasp the lessons of MeToo and Charlie still loves cheese and ghouls.

“It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” has been renewed for four more seasons, FX’s John Landgraf announced on Disney’s Investor Day call Thursday, bringing it to Season 18 and helping it break a record for sitcoms.

The Gang of Charlie Day, Kaitlin Olson, Howerton, McElhenney and Danny DeVito recently took over the old filming location of “The Office,” which also started in 2005.

“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” has been renewed for four additional seasons by FX, which means the show will shatter its own record as the longest-running live action comedy of all time.
“Always Sunny” will now run for at least 18 seasons. It was previously renewed for Season 15 back in May. The Season 15 renewal officially broke the record previously held by “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,” which ran for 14 seasons on ABC.

Family comedies have gone to Schitt. “Schitt’s Creek” that is. The little Canadian comedy series that airs on Pop and streams on Netflix has hit Emmy paydirt in its sixth and final season, earning 15 Emmy nominations including best comedy series, actor for Eugene Levy, actress for Catherine O’Hara, supporting actor, writer and director for Dan Levy and supporting actress for Annie Murphy.
Sort of a reverse “The Beverly Hillbillies,” the series follows a seriously vapid, dysfunctional family, John and Moira Rose and their adult children David and Alexis, who lose their family fortune and end up living in a rundown motel in Schitt’s Creek, a tiny rural town which is the only asset they still own. And “Schitt’s Creek” is a family affair with Eugene Levy creating the series with his son Dan, who plays his eldest on the show. And the comedy legend’s daughter Emily also is...

As we get deeper into the summer, entertainment offerings are bound to start slimming – particularly in this pandemic era. Perhaps there’s no greater example of the oncoming drought than Amazon Prime’s list of new releases for July 2020.
Though the new options may be few and far between on Amazon this month, at least they pack a bit of a punch. In the case of Hanna season 2, that punch is quite literal. Esme Creed-Miles returns as the titular precocious super soldier. You can check out our review here. Beyond that, there are two intriguing Amazon original movies. The first is the Rosamund Pike-starring Radioactive and that arrives on July 24. Then there is the Dave Bautista film My Spy on July 26.
With HBO Max now on the scene, Amazon Prime is sure to lose some of its library titles. That can already be seen in the relatively sparse offerings for July.

We are now in the third week of ongoing protests against police brutality following the death of George Floyd on May 25th. Floyd was killed by asphyxia when officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. In the weeks since, major cities in all 50 Us states and even other countries have seen their streets flooded with those taking a stand against the ongoing racial injustices and law enforcement’s abuse of power.
As many companies and platforms continue to show solidarity and support to those protesting, some of that support has come in the way of removing racially insensitive material. Such is the case with a season 6 episode of FX’s incredibly popular comedy series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Netflix UK has removed “Dee Reynolds: Shaping America’s Youth,” which sees Mac (Rob McElhenney) and Dee (Kaitlin Olson) wear blackface while acting in the gang’s version...

How Rob McElhenney Pulled Off a Quarantine Episode of ‘Mythic Quest': ‘It Was Absolute, Abject Hell’
This story about Rob McElhenney first appeared in the “Race Begins” issue of TheWrap’s Emmy magazine. It is one in a series of conversations about the effect of coronavirus on the television industry, and was conducted in early May.
The first season of the video-game workplace comedy “Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet” had been shot and aired on Apple TV+ when the pandemic hit, but it prompted an unexpected bonus episode: “Mythic Quest: Quarantine,” which was shot entirely via iPhones and Zoom teleconferences. Creator and star Rob McElhenney is planning the next season of that show and a Season 15 of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” which is currently tied with “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” as the longest-running live-action sitcom in U.S. television history.
How much more complicated was it to pull off the quarantine episode than to do a normal episode?
Let me be clear with you: This was hell.

“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” is writing itself into the television history books as FX confirms the long-running series will return for a 15th season on its Fxx channel. The show’s 15th season renewal means “It’s Always Sunny” will become the longest running live-action comedy series in history, beating the 14-season run of the ABC sitcom “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.” “It’s Always Sunny” has been on the air since August 2005, running 14 seasons so far and 154 episodes and counting.
The “It’s Always Sunny” cast has been vocal in the past about wanting to get the series to the record-breaking 15th season benchmark. The show last received a renewal several years ago when FX announced the series would return for seasons 13 and 14. Ahead of the show’s 13th season debut, cast member Charlie Day told The Wrap that everyone involved with “It’s Always Sunny” was aiming for a 15th season.

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia has been renewed for a 15th season. The record-setting pickup was revealed as part of FX’s original programming slate through 2021, announced Tuesday morning.
With its 14 seasons to date, It’s Always Sunny had tied ABC’s The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet as the longest-running live-action comedy series. Now FX’s flagship half-hour series is solidifying its place in the TV history books as the sole holder of the record.
The news comes on the heels of It’s Always Sunny creator, executive producer and star Rob McElhenney revealing last month that writing on Season 15 of the FX series had begun.
In January, speaking at the TCA press tour to promote his new Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, McElhenney, reassured It’s Always Sunny fans that “we’re going to keep doing it forever if people keep watching.”

It looks like WandaVision will take Vision and Scarlet Witch from 1950s domestic bliss to Brady Bunch and Roseanne style sitcom homages.
Just under a year out from the release date of Disney+’s Marvel series WandaVision, we still don’t have a full idea of what the gosh darn thing is about.
We know that the show will continue the adventures of Avengers Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) a.k.a. Scarlet Witch and The Vision (Paul Bettany). We also know, thanks to some stylish promo photos that show the couple in ‘50s style domestic bliss, that it will likely borrow liberally from Tom King’s speculative comic series Vision. The speculative fiction nature of the series would make some sense given the fact that The Vision is dead in the Avenger films continuity.
Now a new Marvel teaser released by Disney+ during this year’s Super Bowl offers up even more clues.
