Halloween is upon us, so stay safe out there — and stay away from the taco meat.
Tonight, America’s costumed children will venture out in search of treats, trickster teenagers will commit playful acts of vandalism and us older, sensible folk will hole up in our homes, eat candy and re-watch festive, barely frightening and deliciously nostalgic TV shows and movies from our own childhoods.
While horror films are the traditional fare for a night such as tonight, the last half-century of American culture embracing the theme of the season has led to every syndicated TV show at least attempting a Halloween episode, and, for those of us who prefer laughs to gasps, we’d rather settle in with a sitcom than a slasher while we eat cupcakes decorated like skulls and drink punch that we’ll pretend is blood.

Crafting a perfect ending that does justice to all of its characters is often a tough nut to crack in the realm of television, as even iconic shows, including How I Met Your Mother, failed to satisfy its fanbase with its conclusion. Jerry Seinfeld’s Seinfeld is no exception, whose polarizing finale still remains a topic of discourse among fans of the show.

As for the lead’s perspective on the finale, Seinfeld has one major regret, which could’ve facilitated the ending’s reception among fans.

Although I'm on record saying that the "Seinfeld" series finale was good, and Larry David never should've apologized for it, it's undeniable that a lot of people disagree, especially in the episode's immediate aftermath. "Sitcom's finale found guilty of mediocrity" wrote one headline at The Des Moines Register. "It delivered many fewer yucks than yadas," said Howard Rosenberg at the LA Times. "Seinfeld should have quit while it was ahead. Better yet, it should've quit last week," said the Fr. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel.
Although most of the cast and crew stuck up for the ending over the years, Jerry Seinfeld has voiced some regrets. He still mostly stands by it, he just wishes he could've changed one part. "I think the only mistake, if there was one, was leaving them in jail," he said in a May 2024 interview, "We didn't really have to do that."
This was reflected in the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" series finale,...

For today’s Gen-z kids, The Big Bang Theory and Friends might be some of the shows that they feel are iconic. But long back in the 80s, aired a show that changed the definition of sitcoms and grew a massive fan base across the US.
Yes, we are talking about NBC’s Cheers, which ran successfully from 1982 until its series finale in 1993. Critically acclaimed and loved by many during its original run, the series is one of the best sitcoms.
Cheers is hilarious, intelligent, fast-paced, heartfelt, peopled by unforgettable characters, and consistently good. The story revolves around a Boston bar, owned by Sam Malone (Ted Danson), a former relief pitcher, and has several other main characters, who either work in the bar or visit it regularly.
Decades later after its final run, let’s take a look at where some of the Cheers‘ major cast members are now!

Starring in the iconic sitcom Cheers back in 1982, Danson found critical acclaim, praise, and two Emmy Awards for his role in the show. However, starring in Cheers also made him angry at co-star Kelsey Grammer.
It Took Ted Danson 30 Years To Apologize
Danson went on to portray the iconic role of Michael in the 2016 dramedy The Good Place. Millions of fans simply fell in love with him in the first season, had a love-hate relationship in the 2nd and 3rd seasons, and fell in love with him again in 4th season.

Ted Danson apologized on Wednesday to Kelsey Grammer for a 30-year-old rift that occurred when they were both on “Cheers.”
The two discussed their relative falling out on the latest episode of Danson’s SiriusXM’s podcast “Where Everybody Knows Your Name.”
Danson recalled a time when he “got angry” with his costar, who played Dr. Frasier Crane on the NBC sitcom and on the spinoff “Frasier.”
Watch the conversation in the video above.
“This isn’t self-deprecating, but I wish — I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the Cheers years. I have a memory of getting angry at you once,” Danson told Grammer.
“Yeah, you came and told me that one day,” Grammer replied, although neither one of them elaborated what the argument was about.
“It’s stuck in both of our memories,” Danson continued. “But I feel like, f–k, I don’t know.

Adam Ray is bringing his Dr. Phil parody to Netflix with a wild new special in which the comedian — dressed as the mustachioed talk show host — will come face to face with Dr. Phil himself.
Debuting on Netflix on Nov. 19, the untitled “Adam Ray’s Dr. Phil Comedy Special” will also see Ray-as-Phil interview special guests including Patton Oswalt, Jay Pharoah and “Gollum,” and get to know the audience through silly questions and games.
Ray’s “Dr. Phil Live!” had become one of the hottest tickets at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles before the comedian took it on the road across America. The show will soon expand beyond the United States.
The Netflix special marks the first time the real Dr. Phil has sat down in person with Ray.
The comedian will next take “Dr. Phil Live!” to the New York Comedy Festival on Nov. 15, where he will be headlining at the Beacon Theatre.

On Elsbeth Season 2 Episode 2, “Fly Me to the Moon” takes on a whole new meaning. Now that rich people have conquered Earth, their next venture is space.
From what we can gather from the promo for the next episode, there’s murder afoot at a space training station, but not for astronauts. No, it’s for “private citizens.” Because that’s what space needs.
Leave it to Elsbeth to continue its trend of truly bizarre murder situations. The series knows its strength lies in how well it incorporates campy elements.

As always, the show leads with its episodic killer with all the grace and subtlety of a sledgehammer. That is also on my murder bingo card for possible Elsbeth Season 2 weapons.

I am drawn to these creative people and I trust them because their talent cannot be contained to a page. They’re just spectacular.”

There's a lot of reasons "Lost" was so successful, but a big one was Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Jorge Garcia). He's one of the few survivors on the show who gets along with pretty much everyone; he doesn't have a mean bone in his body, except of course when Sawyer tries to make fun of his mental health. Hurley's a sweet and loyal friend, and he's funny in a way that rarely seems to boil down to an easy fat joke, which 2000s-era TV loved to indulge in.
Of course, Garcia doesn't always play a nice guy. Before "Lost" aired, he starred in a season 4 episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," playing a straight-man drug dealer for a nervous, awkward Larry David to bounce off of. Garcia's character here is still funny, but more because of how jaded and tired he is. He's only in the episode for one scene, but he makes a strong impression,...

From ‘Curb’ to ‘The Comeback,’ HBO knows comedy.
Writing a list of the top HBO comedy TV shows of all time is hard because it’s subjective. What I think is funny and what you think is funny is different – and we’re both right (except I’m more right). Still, it’s fun to do and I can use the release of the new HBO comedy TV series “The Franchise” as an excuse to do it.
With new episodes dropping on Sunday nights, “The Franchise” follows the crew of an unloved franchise movie as they showcase the secret chaos inside the world of superhero moviemaking. Sam Mendes is co-creator, so he’s bound to bring the realism having spent years and years of his life making franchise movies. More importantly – as this list will exemplify - HBO knows comedy.

Larry David could have had a bright future as an action-comedy hero if a certain Saturday Night Live clone had survived long enough to make its own sketch-to-movie adaptations — after all, Enter The Matzoi: The Movie couldn’t have done that much worse at the box office than MacGruber.
The legendary Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator’s brief career in sketch comedy is best remembered for his Saturday Night Live era, during which David quit the show in a fit of rage halfway through his first and only season before returning to work the next day as if nothing had happened. David’s SNL antics formed the basis of one of the most iconic Seinfeld episodes ever with “The Revenge,” but it wasn’t David’s first memorable and slightly disastrous brush with televised sketch comedy.

One year ago, Max added a huge benefit for subscribers with the Bleacher Report (B/R) Sports Add-On. For no additional cost, subscribers could now watch NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA basketball and more. But the launch came with an ominous asterisk: those sports were free “for a limited time.” Will Max ever start charging?

If Max were going to pull the trigger, now would be the time. One year is more than generous for a “temporary” free perk, and we’re at the perfect time to raise the price. Max will offer the 2024 Alds & Alcs, the NHL starts play today, and the NBA is starting later this month.

Is Curb Your Enthusiasm the first sitcom about an asshole? Jeff Schaffer says no.
In the academic sense, Curb Your Enthusiasm is about as textbook a comedy of manners as we’ve ever seen on television. For 12 seasons and 24 years, Larry David bristled against social norms and challenged conventions of polite society to the delight of cantankerous Curb fans everywhere, highlighting the absurdity of modern society as he sees it. However, according to entertainment journalist Joel Stein in his new essay for The Wrap titled “Bad Manners,” David and Curb Your Enthusiasm also carved out a new subgenre within the umbrella of the comedy of manners: the comedy of the asshole.

In today’s streaming world where there are a ton of options free trials are an excellent way to test the waters of a service before deciding whether or not you want to commit to paying for a service. Throughout its history, the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service now known as Max has had an inconsistent history of free trials, and unfortunately, as of now, the service is not offering a free trial either directly or through any third-party partners.
However, there are still ways to save on the service. Recently, Max has joined with Disney+ and Hulu to create a first-of-its-kind bundle. You can sign up for the ad-supported version of the services for just $17 per month or go ad-free for $30.

There are only a small handful of shows in the history of television that can claim to be as successful as "Seinfeld." Other shows may have lasted longer in terms of sheer volume of episodes. But as far as staying power and cultural impact goes? What Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David created is damn near untouchable. The show ran for nine seasons from 1989 to 1998. It actually could have gone at least one more season but that wasn't in the cards, at least not for the series' lead. In fact, NBC offered Seinfeld a fortune to stay for at least one more year -- a fortune he walked away from.
In a 2012 interview with Fox News, Warren Littlefield, the former President of Entertainment at NBC, explained that he tried to make "Seinfeld" season 10 happen. Keep in mind, by this point, David had already left to pursue other ventures, including HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Anyone bored by this year’s Emmy winners just hasn’t been paying attention. This was a revolution. The idea that “Shōgun” could enter the drama race and then break the history books with 18 wins was astounding — and sure didn’t seem possible even a year ago. The fact that “Hacks,” in its third season, could upset “The Bear” — even as the incumbent still smashed the record for most wins for a comedy in a single year — has changed the balance of power in that race.
And then there was perhaps the biggest shift of the night: “The Traitors” ending the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” streak in reality competition series. That’s a field where “The Amazing Race” won 10, “Drag Race” won five and “The Voice” has four — so there wasn’t much movement in the category. “The Traitors” has at least busted things up, making for a more dynamic playing field.

When Emmy presenter Catherine O’Hara announced “Hacks” as the winner of Best Comedy Series at Sunday’s Primetime ceremony, awards pundits everywhere had to pick their jaws up off the floor. “The Bear” was the overwhelming front-runner to claim its second victory in that top category, especially after setting a new comedy record in 2024 for 11 wins in the same season. But “Hacks” prevailed, and in doing so it became only the third show in history to win Best Comedy Series for Season 3 after losing its first two bids.
The other two laffers to accomplish this rare Emmy feat are “Get Smart” in 1968 and “Sex and the City” in 2001, which means “Hacks” now finds itself in rare company indeed. For the record, “Get Smart” lost for Season 1 in 1966 to “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and lost for Season 2 in 1967 to “The Monkees”; “Sex and the City” lost for Season 1 in 1999 to...

If all TV production stopped today and no new TV shows were ever created, then every TV lover in the world were asked to name the greatest show in the history of television, there's a damn decent chance that "Seinfeld" would come out on top. Rewatchable, hilarious, and totally singular, it remains a miracle more than 25 years after it went off the air. So much of that is attributed to the core ensemble cast made up of Jerry Seinfeld (Jerry), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine), Jason Alexander (George), and Michael Richards (Kramer). For nearly all of the show's 180 episodes, this group anchored the classic sitcom. We say almost because there was one episode that Alexander sat out.
Like many great shows, "Seinfeld" took a couple of seasons to find its footing. By season 3, though, it was fully off to the races. That season contains several classic episodes, including the third episode, the 20th of the show overall,...

Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus has had a long and illustrious television career before making the jump to the global pop culture juggernaut that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With eleven Emmy Awards to her name, Louis-Dreyfus is a certified Queen of Comedy, having starred in several hit sitcoms, including the iconic 90s classic Seinfeld.

The actress revealed in an interview that she missed her time as Selina Meyer in the political satire Veep, which cemented her as one of the best comic actresses. Here is what Louis-Dreyfus had to say about her Veep role.

There’s been a lot of talk about the last episode of Seinfeld this year after Curb Your Enthusiasm essentially remade the controversial finale, giving Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld a spiritual do-over. Sadly, Larry and Jerry didn’t continue to rewrite past embarrassments by, say, traveling back in time to stop Jerry from ziplining across Parisian rooftops in a Bee Movie costume.
But long before Curb revisited the ending of Seinfeld, Jerry Seinfeld got the opportunity to add an epilogue of sorts to the finale, thanks to Saturday Night Live and the cast of Oz.
In 1999, Seinfeld hosted SNL’s 25th season premiere with musical guest David Bowie. Coming just one week after the Saturday Night Live 25th Anniversary Special, and five months after the Seinfeld finale aired, Seinfeld used the opening monologue to joke about all the free time he suddenly had to watch Wings reruns and date married women.
