By the end of its fifth season, "Cheers" had become one of the most popular sitcoms on television. Every Thursday night, viewers tuned in to hang with the regulars at the Boston pub where everybody knows your name, and the gang always delivered. You could put the "Cheers" gang up against the very best in the history of the medium.
Most amazingly, the series didn't miss a beat when Woody Harrelson stepped in for Nick Colasanto after the latter's unexpected death. It just became a different kind of excellent.
And yet, as the show headed into its sixth season, no one was sure if "Cheers" could survive the departure of Shelley Long. The actor's combustible, Tracy-Hepburn chemistry with Ted Danson gave every episode the charge of the unexpected, and kept everyone in their orbit perpetually unsettled. Without her, the entire dynamic of the show might change, turning fans off a...

On Wednesday, the 42-year-old posted a throwback picture with the ‘Argo’ star-director and songwriter Diane Warren, which she said was taken years ago.
In the caption, she recalled their encounter, noting that she almost “forgot” how “crazy” it was.

Dr. Frasier Crane has returned to Boston, where it all began for the character in the Frasier reboot. While the doctor has found his way back to his old stomping grounds, not everything is the same for him there. When fans tuned in to the reboot, they were shocked to see the bar made famous on Cheers was not shown. Kelsey Grammer revealed why. He said not bringing back the iconic Cheers was a way of paying homage to the establishment and the original series that created Grammer’s most iconic role.
The beloved Cheers won’t appear in ‘Frasier’ reboot
Dr. Frasier Crane was first introduced to fans in 1984 on Cheers. He was initially Diane Chambers’ love interest and was later jilted at the altar by her. Despite his heartache, he found a home at the bar where Diane worked and spent a lot of time hanging out with the bartenders and regulars.

The Man Stood in the shadow of the trees facing the small tan house. He was tall and had the close-cropped military haircut of the Marine he’d been until deserting his post a few weeks earlier. A black mask covered his face, he wore a one-piece camouflage suit, and carried a .300-caliber blackout rifle and a .22-caliber handgun.

Diane Jurgens has left The Walt Disney Company after three years in the role of chief information officer, TheWrap has learned. This departure makes her the second C-level executive to vacate the studio in just under three months. Christine McCarthy, previously the chief financial officer, left in June to take a medical absence.
According to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the news, Jurgens told colleagues in a farewell email in late August that she was leaving Disney “to pursue new adventures.”
Jurgens joined Disney in October 2020 under then-ceo Bob Chapek. She was responsible for the company’s enterprise technology organization on a global scale. Iger returned as CEO in November of last year, essentially ousting his own hand-picked successor. Kareem Daniel, a top Chapek-era executive, left the very next day. Daniel’s division, Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution, has since been dismantled with more oversight and authority being given back to creative executives.

When Apple TV+ first launched, one of its marquee shows was undoubtedly "The Morning Show." Starring Steve Carell, Jennifer Aniston, and Reese Witherspoon as the anchors of a popular morning talk show in trouble, it quickly gained notice for its star-studded cast as much as for its deliberate parallels to the upheavals in real-life broadcast journalism of the time.
Over the seasons, the series has become less directly based on real-life events, but echoes of familiar stories still remain.
Is "The Morning Show" Based on a True Story?
When the first season of "The Morning Show" debuted in 2019, it centered on a badly behaved, popular man anchor on a beloved morning show, which seemed almost ripped from the headlines. Mitch Kessler, the fictional anchor in hot water (played by Carell), is at the center of a sexual misconduct scandal, including the discovery of a remote "close door" button under his office desk.

“People are connecting with Linsey, Kyra, Diane and Kayna because collectively they bring more than 80 years of valuable and unique journalistic experience to the streaming network,” ABC News president Kim Godwin says. “Add in their passion, curiosity, authenticity and relatability, and they are just compelling to watch.

“Poolman,” Chris Pine’s directorial debut that had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, is a pastiche of Los Angeles past and present. It’s a film noirlike “Chinatown” and “L.A. Confidential,” but its characters are the New Age-y, socially conscious, showbiz-adjacent type. The film was supposedly the first to be screened on 35mm at TIFF in years, only to be projected in Dcp due to an unspecified technical issue.
Somewhat recalling “True Romance”-era Brad Pitt, Darren (Pine) is the titular eccentric dude who ritually checks the water levels in the Tahitian Tiki apartments’ pool and meditates while immersed therein. He regularly composes letters using a typewriter to Erin Brockovich about his activist aspirations. He also religiously shows up at city council meetings to complain about the substandard public transit system.

The pool dude abides.
Somewhere early on in the creative process, Chris Pine and his writing-producing partner Ian Gotler clearly thought they were on to something inspired with Poolman, which seemingly set out to reimagine Chinatown as a Coen brothers movie, with Pine playing the title character — a long-haired, scraggly bearded Zen master of a pool cleaner turned bumbling sleuth. But the end result, also serving as Pine’s directorial debut, goes tonally off the rails from the start and proceeds to hit bottom with excruciating momentum, dragging a game ensemble, including Annette Bening, Danny DeVito and Jennifer Jason Leigh, down for the count.
Given its world premiere at Toronto, where it arrived looking for distribution, this TIFF stiff will likely have a tough time finding a home based on the tepid response from the customarily effusive festival audience.
