Sister Wives has become one of the most unwatchable series on TLC. Despite the reality series gearing up for an 18th season, it has lost its way in recent years. The Brown family is fractured as it deals with divorce and family tragedy. These events continue to pull the reality show away from its intended goal.
So if Sister Wives no longer serves its original premise, why is it still on? And how can the series get back on track for season 18?
‘Sister Wives’ contract with TLC continues
Sister Wives remains on TLC despite the internal struggles of its castmates. It still draws high ratings for the network and remains one of its most popular series.
In August 2023, Deadline reported that Sister Wives‘ Season 18 premiere delivered the highest ratings the series had seen in over a decade. The reality series was the number one cable program among women 25-54.

The final episode of "Star Trek: Enterprise" -- titled "These Are the Voyages..." -- aired on May 13, 2005, and it looked like the long road of "Star Trek" had finally come to an end. "Enterprise" debuted only two weeks after 9/11, and the world, it seemed, was no longer in the mood for the franchise's optimistic messages about diplomacy and peace. "Star Trek" encouraged people to reach out to enemies and find common ground while the pop world was singing "We'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American way." By 2005, the franchise's time was finally near.
Yet, as the property limped out the door, fans were presented with a disappointing series finale wherein all the show's loose ends had to be wrapped up in a hurry. To achieve this, the "Enterprise" showrunners conceived a crossover event wherein Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Counselor Troi (Marina Sirtis) from "Star Trek: The Next Generation...

1. Veep, 2012-2019
Few mock politics as blatantly as Armando Iannucci's satirical sitcom. The show mocks not only the main character, Selina Meyer, but also her hapless team trying to keep Selina in power. As the show progresses, Meyer becomes President of the US, but does not stay in that position for long.
Veep is, of course, a show for those who love when jokes are delivered at machine-gun speed, the morals of political managers are mocked in the most merciless way, and political reality appears as a series of paradoxes.

Fallout has been a huge success for Prime. Released on April 10th, it was viewed over 1.5 million times in 5 days. A total of 25 actors made guest appearances. Here are the top 5:
5. Michael Rapaport as Knight Titus
The Brotherhood of Steel has been a constant presence in the video game since its release. As you might expect, the Knights are expected to show bravery and valor.
Titus' face was covered upon his first introduction in Episode 2. When Michael Rapaport was revealed as the actor, viewers may have thought the character was destined for humorous involvement, but instead, Titus turned out to be a self-serving coward.
Rapaport has had cameos in:
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air The Big Bang Theory Friends
But he’s arguably best known as Agent Don Self from Prison Break.

Chicago Med hiatus: When does the show return and what should fans expect from the next new episode?
Chicago Med is still on an extended spring hiatus as the show takes a break before racing toward the season finale.
Some fans may already be upset that the One Chicago shows have taken such a long break during April, but new episodes are on the horizon.
As a reminder, two Hollywood strikes paused the production of the NBC dramas. It delayed the new seasons from premiering for many months.
When the shows finally returned in January, Chicago Med fans were reminded that Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) had left the show.
Dr. Halstead’s final episode was the Season 8 finale, where he quit working at the hospital and traveled to Seattle. When he got off the plane, he was greeted by Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto) and her daughter.
Several new doctors have joined the fold on the Chicago Med cast this season, adding some freshness to the show.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has been out for only over a week, and it’s already one of the most-played titles. The title follows a character named Arisen, played by players, as they go against a dangerous and powerful dragon. The game has several vocations or classes that are varied by different playstyles.
Players can explore the vast open world of the game while fighting monsters and other enemies as part of these vocations. While all the vocations in Dragon’s Dogma 2 are good, there is one build that’s quite powerful compared to others, and players not using it are definitely missing out.
Magick Archer Is the Best Build in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Players are finding Magick Archer to be the best vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Dragon Dogma 2‘s Vocation system is one of the game’s best features. Essentially a play on the classic “Class” concept, Vocations help determine your player character, Pawns, and Main Pawn’s abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Choosing the right vocation requires you to carefully consider your preferences, gear, situation, and supporting cast. Even then, the game encourages you to experiment by allowing you to easily change your Vocations throughout the adventure.
If you’re looking for a little more guidance than “Play which Vocation you love most,” though, then here is a slightly more comprehensive look at every Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2 and which are the best of the best for your player’s character.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has a total of 10 vocations and these range from RPG mainstays to more unorthodox fare. Additionally, the best part is that players are not locked into a single vocation. They get to rank up and progress in their vocation as the game advances.
Even if a given player wishes to stick by a single vocation, players may want their main pawn companion along with all of the other pawns they recruit to specialize in other vocations. This will help them create a diversified army suited for all situations.
Dragon’s Dogma 2
As players begin their journey as Arisen, they get four basic vocations available at the start. The four vocations come with their respective specializations and players must choose one which best suits their playing style and goals in the game. While it can be a little too overwhelming to choose among the four, knowing their strengths and weaknesses can certainly help.

Was this Easter or Halloween?
Chicago Med Season 9 Episode 8 featured several strange or scary events, including one that could get Zola fired.
The stories were so strange that it felt like they had originally been intended for Halloween and had been reworked for Easter. Some of the twists were predictable, yet the entire episode was bizarre.
The most rational story was Pawel's usual nonsense. Pawel is almost always annoying, but his attempt to get pain meds or money felt more like the hospital show tropes we're used to than most of the other plots.
Pawel is always up to no good and has never gotten along with Daniel, so his latest scheme wasn't a surprise -- if anything, it was predictable.
What Exactly Was Pawel Up To?
His scheme was somewhat confusing, though. It seemed obvious that he was trying to score pain meds. He repeatedly asked for them...

Released in 2012 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the original Dragon’s Dogma was an action roleplaying game tailored to a very specific audience. Brutally difficult, the gameplay centered on open-world exploration with a survivalist touch, wherein players and their Npc (non-player character) companions must trek through a “persistent” world that — at the time — felt organic as shifting day-and-night cycles and changing weather conditions imbued its somewhat bland fantasy world with a sense of life. Heavy on customization options and a general “fend for yourself” attitude toward the player, it merged many...

It's great to have Chicago Med back, but Marcel's conflict with Washington was a lot of nothing.
On Chicago Med Season 9 Episode 7, Marcel accused Goodwin of siding with her boyfriend instead of with medical science. Then, everything changed for the patient, and the conflict evaporated.
Will this rear its ugly head some other time? It moved so quickly that it felt pointless despite some great performances.
Marcel and Washington's argument was a classic medical drama trope. TV hospitals are full of medical personnel who think surgery is too risky and surgeons who think the patient's prognosis will be poor if they don't go under the knife right away.
In this case, it was complicated by Sharon's relationship with Dr. Washington, which made Marcel believe she was not being objective in her decision about who to listen to.
Washington's plan initially made a lot of sense. If radiation could shrink the tumor,...

Match #1: Bryan Danielson def. Katsuyori Shibata The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:
Danielson and Shibata chain wrestled at the start of the match. Danielson bridged his way out of wristlock. Shibata tried to keep his distance from Danielson’s kicks. They locked up and traded kicks.

Shibata rocked Danielson with forearms, but Danielson countered with a butterfly suplex. Danielson put Shibata in a surfboard submission, but Shibata escaped.

After a long wait, the U.S.S. Enterprise has received a response from the planet Eminiar VII. They had hoped to contact the planet and establish diplomatic relations with the inhabitants in the star cluster. But the message they receive in return is simple: stay away.
When Kirk gets that reply, he intends to respects their wishes. But no sooner does he order the Enterprise to change course than a man arrives on the bridge and overrides Kirk. This moment must have shocked the first viewers of “A Taste of Armageddon” from the first season of The Original Series of Star Trek. After all, who could override the Captain on his own ship?
The answer is the United Federation of Planets, for whom the man, Ambassador Robert Fox (Gene Lyons), works. Although “A Taste of Armageddon” aired in 1967, the distinction between Starfleet and the Federation still confuses viewers today.

Will's resignation left Gaffney with some big shoes to fill.
We got two doctors for the price of one on Chicago Med Season 9: an impulsive resident who thinks she knows more than she does and a new Ed doc with a traumatic past.
I wasn't sure about these doctors, especially Dr. Ripley, but I must grudgingly admit they both add something to Chicago Med.
I was less than impressed when Ripley first jumped into action on Chicago Med Season 9 Episode 1. Ripley came off as yet another arrogant doctor who had no use for others, especially Dr. Charles.
I figured we'd already done this with Archer, who was originally an asshole who didn't follow the rules, ever, and thought that psychiatry was quack medicine.
I didn't like it when Archer was like that and kept counting down the days til he was gone (which never happened). Then they softened him...

Quick, who’s the most important person in Star Trek? Jim Kirk? Jean-Luc Picard? Morn?
No, no, and maybe, but not who we had in mind. The most important person in Star Trek is the character who has appeared in every series, except The Original Series: William T. Riker, the character immortalized by Jonathan Frakes.
Of course, Frakes played Commander Riker for seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation. His twin/clone/variant Thomas Riker showed up as a Maquis agent on Deep Space Nine, while Q shenanigans brought Will to the Delta Quadrant on Voyager. No one, not even Frakes, likes Riker’s appearance with Troi in the finale of Enterprise. But everyone loved Riker and Troi’s vocal appearances on Lower Decks. And, yes, it takes some fudging, but Star Trek: Very Short Treks allowed Riker to blast his trombone with the Star Trek: The Animated Series crew,...

In 1966, Gene Roddenberry and his co-creators gave the world Star Trek, an adventure series that imagined humanity overcoming its racist and sexist and class divisions, which inaugurated a new age of exploration. Corny? Sure. Imperfect? Of course. But that fundamental optimism remains a key aspect of Star Trek, presenting a challenge to those future creators tasked with keeping the franchise alive beyond the years of its birth.
That doesn’t mean the optimism can’t be challenged or re-contextualized. Indeed, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine did exactly that, and many put that series at the top of their franchise rankings. But Deep Space Nine also introduced Section 31, a black ops organization within Starfleet and the darkest alternative to Star Trek optimism this side of the Terran Empire.
Sadly, later Trek creators have jumped onto the Section 31 concept, resulting in darker, much more pessimistic (and paranoid) stories that forget the best...

Myths, legends, religion and history are heavily utilized when creating the stories found in all genres of anime. Dozens upon dozens of myths and legends were used to build the characters and plot of Jujutsu Kaisen , for example, and this anime is far from the only example. Fate/stay night is rife with mythological, legendary, and historical figures. First things first. This article is going to focus on Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works . Yes, I know, I know. This means we won’t be diving into the video games, the other anime installments in the Fate series, or any of the myriad of spinoffs. Related: The Folklore Behind Megumi Fushigur's Shikigami in Jujutsu Kaisen It’s probably no surprise that Unlimited Blade Works is absolutely chock full of characters based on people from myths, legends, and history.

Lord of the Rings is one of the most iconic and culturally significant fantasy series of all time. Having one of the most dedicated fans, a story like no other, and a world-building that is deeply immersive for the audience, it is no wonder the film series is so loved. The three films were released back to back between 2001 and 2003, having some of the most visually stunning sequences at the time.

Interestingly enough, it would seem that the cats also have some say when it comes to these shots. During an interview, Karl Urban revealed that Viggo Mortensen had a very specific vision and wanted to take a shot of the hit character with Legolas and Gimli.

Archer made history as the pioneer freestyle motocross rider to successfully execute a triple backflip during competition, a feat accomplished at the 2022 Nitro World Games in Brisbane.
While rehearsing the same daring maneuver in his hometown of Melbourne, Archer encountered a fatal accident, according to The Guardian.
His groundbreaking achievement of landing the triple backflip at the Nitro World Games tournament in November 2022 will forever be remembered in the motocross community.

Prince William‘s wife is now home recovering which will take months as she had to cancel all her engagements through the end of March.
Kate has her husband, some staffers, other members of the royal family, and her own family who are a support system for her now as she’s on the mend. But she also has a tight-knit circle of friends who are rallying around her during this time.

Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2001. The night Enterprise, later to be named Star Trek: Enterprise, premiered with “Broken Bow.” I didn’t get to see it that night, probably since it was a school night and I was 10. I taped it on VHS and watched it with my mom a day or so later. We both enjoyed it well enough.
Until we got to a certain scene.
The crew was just attacked on an alien planet. The plot was ramping up. But first? Trip (Connor Trinneer) and T’Pol (Jolene Blalock) strip down to their underwear and lather each other up with gel. I never get to know why because my mom made me fast forward through the scene, feeling it was, “inappropriate.” We got to the next scene and resumed watching, never speaking of the “inappropriate” scene again. I didn’t rewatch “Broken Bow” until earlier this year and finally got to watch the forbidden scene.

In the "Star Trek: Enterprise" episode "Rogue Planet", it was mentioned that Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) had achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in his youth, having earned a whopping 26 merit badges while part of the organization. Even into the 22nd century, the Boy Scouts of America will persist as a bellwether of decency, and the terms "Boy Scout" and "Eagle Scout" will still be used colloquially to denote tenacity, moral righteousness, and hard work. Indeed, Archer himself might be described as a Boy Scout, indicating that he is emblematic of all the adjectives listed in the Boy Scout Oath: a Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
Well, in "Star Trek," there is no money, so he's not thrifty, and it takes place on a post-religious Earth, so he's probably not reverent either, but he likely appreciates the proper allocation of resources,...

FX CEO John Landgraf celebrated his 20th year at the now Disney-owned network Friday at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour by saying “adios” to Peak TV.
The executive, who famously coined the phrase back in 2015 to represent the content boom, announced that U.S. scripted originals tumbled 14 percent year-over-year (from 600 to 512) in 2023 and the industry has now entered its “Peaked TV” era.
“I was finally correct,” he quipped after two previously incorrect estimates for when the Peak TV era would officially conclude. He said that last year’s dual Hollywood strikes “undoubtedly played a role,” but the decline in the volume of scripted series was “likely under way” before labor actions by writers and actors brought production to a standstill.
Calling the change a “realignment” for the industry, Landgraf seems to have learned from his previous Peak TV predictions and did not offer an estimate of when...

Marcel wasn't kidding when he said Archer was no choir boy.
When he first arrived at Gaffney, Archer purposely let a patient lose consciousness so that he could claim an emergency need to do a procedure the patient didn't consent to—and that was the least of his ethical lapses.
But on Chicago Med Season 9 Episode 4, he berated Zola and Maggie for doing an end-run around an insurance company's denial of service to save a patient's life. Seriously?
His stance would have been reasonable if only he hadn't had the past he had. At the very least, he should have referenced it.
Maybe we're supposed to think that now that he's the head of the Ed, he has a different perspective or that he's grown and changed. But he acted high-and-mighty when he's done far worse, and that weakened any point he might have had.
Sentencing Zola to an ethics...

It's worth recalling that "Star Trek: Enterprise" is one of the less popular "Star Trek" shows. "Enterprise" debuted in late September 2001, and was set about a century before the events of the original "Star Trek" series. It followed the adventures of the very first human vessel sent on a long-range space voyage, and took place at a time when a lot of familiar "Star Trek" technologies/notions hadn't been invented yet; there were no tractor beams, no shields, no human-safe transporters, and no Prime Directive. "Enterprise" clearly wanted to revive the old-world frontiersmanship so familiar to fans of the 1966 series.
"Enterprise," however, only lasted four seasons; the three previous Trek shows ran for seven years each. The series was canceled in 2005, and, at the time, it seemed like "Star Trek" was pretty much over and done with. Some might credit the show's writing as a culprit for its unpopularity; it...

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" has had some wild guest stars over the years, from Guillermo del Toro to P. Diddy. Usually, the celebrities only appear for a single episode, but one Oscar nominee actually had a recurring role in season 2.
That actor is Anne Archer, whose performance as Beth Gallagher in the 1987 mega-hit "Fatal Attraction" earned her a Golden Globe nomination as well as an Academy Award nomination. Archer's time on "Sunny" was short-lived but unforgettable. The actor plays Barbara Reynolds, mother to Dee and Dennis and ex-wife of Frank. Barbara resurfaces in her family's lives in the season 2 episode "The Gang Goes Jihad" to regain control of her possessions after being divorced by Frank and robbed by her children.
Series co-creator and star Glenn Howerton has described Archer's performance in her debut episode as "very funny" and "amazing" (via the "Always Sunny" Podcast). The actor was not...

Is Marcel right that Zola is the new Will?
She came to Gaffney on Chicago Med Season 9 Episode 2 with a questionable past, got placed on probation, and kept annoying Marcel -- but in the end was two-for-two on her diagnoses.
She checks all the boxes for a Will replacement, but no one can be a carbon copy of the erstwhile rogue doctor, so let's hope there's more to her than that.
Zola has advanced medical knowledge. I don't know how far she got in her previous residency before she was fired, but it probably feels to her like a step backward to start all over again.
Sharon: Dr. Melvoin spoke very highly of the time you worked together at the Mayo Clinic.
Zola: That's very generous of him.
Sharon: Except Mayo itself was less enthusiastic. Evidently your residency was terminated for what they deemed 'vigilante medicine?'
Permalink: Except Mayo itself was less enthusiastic.

‘Chicago Med’: First Look at Sophia Ali as ‘Impulsive’ New Doc Causing Headaches for Archer (Photos)
Chicago Med might have said goodbye to a couple of original cast members last season (Brian Tee and Nick Gehlfuss), but the Ed is getting help from some new blood this year. The Wilds‘ Sophia Ali has joined the cast in the recurring role of Dr. Zola Ahmad, TV Insider has learned. In order to help her patients, Zola often acts impulsively in ways the hospital doesn’t approve of. She will be introduced in the second episode of the season, “This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us,” airing January 24. Check out photos of her above and below. George Burns Jr/NBC Executive producers Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider previously teased this new resident. “She’s someone who will cause a lot of headaches for the Chief of the Ed, Archer [Steven Weber],” Schneider shared. “She will overstep. She’s impulsive.” That’s not all that Archer will be dealing with.

A new episode of Chicago Med debuts on Wednesday night, with the plot revolving around the transplant surgery for Dr. Dean Archer.
Archer has been dealing with kidney failure, but a donor finally surfaced in the form of his son. Now, his son is ready to give his father one of his kidneys.
But it wouldn’t be a One Chicago show without an episode where something threatened to take away that kidney.
Actor Steven Weber joined the Chicago Med cast in 2021, bringing energy on the opposite end of the spectrum from other Ed doctors.
Archer came over from the military and had a friendship with Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee).
The first Chicago Med Season 9 episode brought everyone up to speed on Archer’s predicament, introduced a new cast member, and revealed Dr. Daniel Charles has ties to the new guy.

The failure of 2.0 and Will's resignation left huge problems for Gaffney, and it was anyone's guess where the hospital would go from there.
But Chicago Med Season 9 Episode 1 jumped ahead a few months when things had settled down, the hospital had been sold, and a new doctor was ready for his first day on the job.
It was a creative choice that paid off. By throwing the characters into a new crisis, we learn what life at Gaffney is like now and determine whether Dr. Ripley is made of strong stuff.
The hospital seemed to be running smoothly. Jack Dayton and most of his technology were gone, and Maggie was back to running the Ed floor during a crisis. It felt like the Med viewers have known and loved for eight years!
A multi-car crash or other disaster could have easily felt like a tired TV trope, but it...
