Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers from “Kids See Ghosts,” the May 20 episode of The CW’s “All American.”
Billy Baker lives on… ish. Taye Diggs’ character, who died in a bus accident midway through Season 5 of the drama, returned to “All American” during the May 20 episode.
At the beginning of the Season 6 episode, Olivia (Samantha Logan) struggled to finish her book about Billy, her late father, as Jordan (Michael Evans Behling) found himself at a crossroads about his possible future in the NFL. Meanwhile, Spencer (Daniel Ezra) realized he had much more going for himself than football when a young high school player asked for his help. Recognizing how much they needed their father — or father figure, in Spencer’s case — Laura (Monet Mazur) decided to give her kids letters that Billy had written for them to open when they graduated college. And she gave Spencer Billy’s journal,...

Simone Hicks plans to “dominate this season” when All American: Homecoming returns — but fresh footage from the upcoming episodes has us thinking the season might dominate her.
In the exclusive Season 3 trailer embedded above, Simone’s renewed determination on the tennis court quickly gives way to a potential injury (“Something’s off with my swing,” she worries aloud) and a seemingly formidable opponent from another university. Plus, Simone’s personal life seems similarly complicated: Although we briefly see her in bed with (presumably) one of her two suitors from last season’s cliffhanger, the conversation she’s having via voiceover — “I did what you asked.

There would be no "All in the Family" without the late Carroll O'Connor. The actor spent nine seasons endearing audiences to his character Archie Bunker, a middle-aged, blue-collared, conservative working stiff who wouldn't think twice about referring to someone by a derogatory term. Year in and year out, viewers delighted in watching Archie make his liberal, self-righteous son-in-law Mike's (Rob Reiner), aka "The Meathead," blood boil. (Just listen to that live studio audience cackling at Archie's unbothered response here.) Even if you disagreed with just about every single thing that came out of Archie's mouth (which you absolutely should), O'Connor had a way of winning you over.
Perhaps that's why the actor was keen to keep the good times rollin' along, even when everyone else around him was ready to pack it in. While season 8 was clearly intended to serve as the show's swan song, O'Connor succeeded in keeping "All in the Family...

The strike-shortened NCIS Season 21 is almost at an end. However, in the season finale entitled “Reef Madness,” the synopsis could alarm Katrina Law fans who are concerned about her character Agent Jessica Knight. Why could fans be concerned that Katrina is leaving the CBS military procedural series?

As NCIS reaches the end of Season 21, one of the team is going to be “at a crossroads.” In the May 6 finale, titled “Reef Madness,” Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll) offers Agent Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) a unique opportunity. “It’s a legacy offer, her dad’s position [Special Agent-in-Charge of the NCIS Far East Field Office] that she was interested in at some point,” Carroll tells TV Insider, but it’s not just that he thinks she might want it now. “I also think Vance knows that Agent Knight is at a crossroads personally and professionally, and a change of venue, a change of scenery might do her good.” That comes from his own experience as well. “He knows that sometimes change of location allows you to clear your head,” explains Carroll. “There’s a lot of things going on personally— her relationship with Jimmy [Brian Dietzen], her relationship with her dad… I think he’s thinking a...

A federal judge has rejected Donald Trump’s bid for a new trial in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against him, keeping the former president on the hook for $83 million in damages.
In January, after years of legal action, a New York jury found that Trump repeatedly defamed her after she accused him of sexual assault. Trump’s lawyers appealed the decision — which called for $7.3 million in compensatory damages, $11 million in reputation repair damages, and $65 million in putative damages — and sought a new trial.

Rocky Carroll told TV Insider while talking to us for our NCIS: Case Closed aftershow for the 1,000th episode that the Season 21 finale will leave things up in the air for one of the characters (not Vance), and now that CBS has released the official description of the episode, we have more information. In “Reef Madness,” airing on May 6, according to CBS, “Parker [Gary Cole] and Knight [Katrina Law] discover three bodies on an old Navy ship that’s about to be sunk and turned into an artificial reef, when they’re suddenly locked inside by a mysterious figure. Also, Vance offers Knight a unique opportunity.” Now, Carroll’s teases about the end of NCIS Season 21 make much more sense. “I’m always amazed at how every time you think that we can’t top ourselves as far as the team getting in danger and getting in trouble, we seem...

Before I knew her as Archie Bunker's little girl Gloria on "All in the Family," I knew Sally Struthers as Rebecca Cunningham on "TaleSpin." A loving single mom and ambitious businesswoman whose outspoken personality belied her petite build, Rebecca -- aka "Becky," "Beckers," and the many other nicknames her responsibility-skirting, party-loving employee Baloo would use to refer to her -- was but one of many reasons to love the "Jungle Book"-inspired animated pulp period adventure series and Disney Afternoon staple. After years of trying (and failing) to keep the peace between her stubbornly conservative dad and her liberal, holier-than-thou husband Michael as Gloria in "All in the Family," Struthers was an expert in the art of sounding flustered, a talent that served her well on "TalepSpin."

With a shortened season, NCIS is packing a lot into 10 episodes. And it sounds like the CBS procedural drama is going to be doing the same with the finale (airing May 6). The good news? We already know it will be back for its 22nd(!) season. That finale “is going to be really good,” Rocky Carroll tells TV Insider. “It’ll be good to have Vance back in the office. I don’t want to give away too much, but he’s walking wounded, but he’s back.” He’s referring to the bullet wound his character is healing from after the franchise’s milestone. “I’m always amazed at how every time you think that we can’t top ourselves as far as the team getting in danger and getting in trouble, we seem to come up with something else,” continues Carroll. “We won’t be ...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for NCIS Season 21 Episode 7 “A Thousand Yards.”] For a milestone as major as the franchise’s 1,000th episode, NCIS pulls out all the stops, from guest stars (LA‘s Daniela Ruah as Kensi! Hawai’i‘s Vanessa Lachey as Jane! Joe Spano as Fornell!) to Easter eggs (like connections in the case to dead characters like Tom Morrow and Kate Todd and it all linking back to the mothership’s very first investigation). It also starts off by putting one of the agency’s own in the hospital. While visiting his late wife’s grave and then having an awkward, tense conversation with his son, Jared (Spence Moore II), Director Vance (Rocky Carroll) is shot by a sniper. While Carroll, speaking with TV Insider for our weekly aftershow, NCIS: Case Closed, never worried about being killed off, he does recall of the initial conversation he had with the episode’s writer,...

With the April 15 episode of “NCIS” on CBS, the overall franchise — including its multiple spinoffs — clocks its 1,000th episode. That’s a milestone for all of the associated series, but the mothership show accounts for nearly half of those, and is edging ever closer to its own once-unfathomable benchmark: “NCIS” O.G. is at 463 episodes and counting, with the 500-show mark hardly out of reach, especially now that the show has just been renewed for its 22nd season. There’s no end in sight, with the top-rated drama series having proven its ability to withstand cast changes, such as the loss of Mark Harmon, the show’s original team leader, in 2021. (Gary Cole tagged in as Harmon was departing during Season 19.)

Since The CW revamped its schedule, the football drama All American remains one of the last originals.
Since its spinoff, All American: Homecoming, was also renewed and is scheduled to air sometime in the summer of 2024, it’s not overall surprising they want to capitalize on both.
It’s not uncommon for a TV to expand its universe into spinoffs. Most often, procedural-type franchises such as CSI, Law & Order, and the One Chicago Universe have done it.
However, we’ve seen teen shows do it successfully, including The Vampire Diaries universe on The CW and The Fosters transitioning into Good Trouble on Freeform.
All American and All American: Homecoming are succeeding the way they are. Do we need additional spinoffs?
What is All American About?
All American was inspired by the life of professional football player Spencer Paysinger. Daniel Ezra portrays the fictional lead role of Spencer James.

There's a fine art to ending a great TV series. Agonizing as it was when "The Good Place" and "Succession" recently packed it in after four seasons, it allowed them to go out with an emotional wallop rather than coasting on fumes past their expiration date. Admittedly, with less story-driven shows, it gets trickier. At what point should a comparatively episodic sitcom call it a day? It often comes down to the people involved in making it.
With "All in the Family," the writing was clearly on the wall at the end of season 8. With yet another impressive batch of episodes in the bag (including all-timers like the emotionally explosive "Edith's 50th Birthday"), creator Norman Lear and his team were ready to wind things down. The last two episodes of the season, "The Dinner Guest" and "The Stivics Go West," saw lifelong East Coasters Archie (Carroll O'Connor) and his wife...

After nearly a yearlong gap since its season five finale, All American made its season six premiere on The CW on Monday night.
The sports drama that is centered around football player Spencer James (Daniel Ezra) — which has followed the star wide receiver and his friends from his days at Crenshaw High up through his freshman year at the fictitious Golden Angeles University last season — will mark 100 episodes on May 27. It’s a milestone Ezra says came as a shock to him, like many others in the series.
“When I was cast, that was a surprise. When the pilot got picked up, that was a surprise. I didn’t expect any of it,” he tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It took me two seasons to give up my apartment in London. I just thought, ‘They’re going to send me back.’”

Ewing’s long-suffering wife. The character who tried to buy a baby on the black market, spent the better part of a season locked away in a sanitarium and whose sister shot her husband.

According to those who’ve spoken to him lately, former President Donald Trump doesn’t seem to think he’s actually going to win his defamation lawsuit against ABC News and its star host George Stephanopoulos — but that’s not the point.
Over the weekend, Stephanopoulos asserted that Trump had been “found liable for rape and defaming” the victim, writer E. Jean Carroll, by judges and two juries. As a factual matter, a jury found Trump defamed and sexually abused Carroll — and he was ordered to pay $83 million for defaming her again.

Former President Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against ABC News and George Stephanopoulos over the remarks the anchor made during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) on This Week.
Trump’s lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Miami on March 18, focused on how Stephanopoulos, at many points in his questioning, mentioned that the former president was found “liable for rape.” The jury found him liable for sexual abuse under New York law, but not rape.
“These statements were and remain false, and were made by Defendant Stephanopoulos with actual malice or with a reckless disregard for the truth given that Defendant Stephanopoulos knows that these statements are patently and demonstrably false,” Trump’s attorney, Alejandro Brito, wrote in the 20-page complaint.

“These statements were and remain false, and were made by Defendant Stephanopoulos with actual malice or with a reckless disregard for the truth given that Defendant Stephanopoulos knows that these statements are patently and demonstrably false,” Trump’s attorney, Alejandro Brito, wrote in the 20-page complaint.

Former President Donald Trump has filed a defamation suit against ABC News and one of its best known anchors, George Stephanopoulos, alleging that the TV journalist damaged Trump’s standing by saying on air that he had been found liable for raping E. Jean Carroll, a journalist and writer who recently won a defamation suit against the former Commander in Chief.
The suit, filed Monday in the Miami division of Southern District of Florida in the U.S. District Court, attempts to make the case that Stephanopoulos during the course of a recent broadcast of ABC News’ “This Week” defamed Trump by stating the rape allegations several times. While Trump was found liable by a jury of assaulting Carroll sexually, the judge in the trial indicated that Carroll had not failed to prove that Trump raped her, citing New York’s narrow legal definition of the crime.
ABC News declined to comment on the matter.

Former President Donald Trump has again filed a defamation lawsuit against a major media outlet, this time over comments that ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos made during a contentious recent interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-sc).
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Miami, claims that Stephanopoulos defamed him during his questioning of Mace during an interview on This Week.
During the interview, Stephanopoulos played a video in which Mace said that she was a victim of rape. He first asked Mace, “You endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape. How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony that we just saw?”
Mace said to Stephanopoulos, “I’ve lived for 30 years with an incredible amount of shame over being raped. I didn’t come forward because of that...

Last year’s bizarre Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey slasher horror turned out to be a complete fiasco, but from a mere $100,000-budged, this morbid celebration of Milne’s Pooh entering the public domain earned the studio a $5.2 million, which is why they immediately announced a sequel, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2, which is going to appear in theaters later this month; the premiere is scheduled for March 26, 2024.
The story of the original movie is a morbid take on the story, as Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet become slasher horror characters who keep murdering everyone and anyone who comes across their path. Critics have panned the movie as one of the worst ones ever made, and it “won” five Golden Raspberry Awards, including one for Worst Picture. But, with so much money, it doesn’t surprise us that the producers actually wanted more, and the sequel is seemingly just the beginning of it all.

Netflix’s Shirley is in so many ways a companion piece to the streaming platform’s recent Rustin that the two films could be entries in the same anthology series. Both shed light on influential Black political figures too long undervalued in historical accounts of their era. Both are driven by commanding performances from first-rate actors in the title roles. Both focus on specific chapters of the lives they depict, mostly skirting the clichés of cradle-to-grave biopics. But both also struggle to frame their subjects in the forceful dramatic terms they merit, getting stuck in too much expository talk and at times nudging reclamation into hagiography.
There’s a moment late in the film, where after long resisting the notion of campaigning in California as a waste of time and resources in her run for the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm (Regina King) finally agrees to make a play...

Roberta Kaplan, the attorney representing columnist E. Jean Carroll, indicated that Former President Donald Trump could face another defamation lawsuit for attacking her client during a Georgia campaign rally.
On March 8, Trump posted the $91.6 million bond for the $83.3 million civil defamation judgment in favor of Carroll. The higher amount had been required due to interest payments that the former president owed.
This bond was issued by Federal Insurance Company, a division of Chubb, which needed extensive collateral, probably including mostly cast assets.
“I just posted a $91 million bond – $91 million – on a fake story – totally made up story,” the former president said during the rally. “Think of it, 91 million I could say things about what it would cost normally – 91 million – based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about, didn’t know, never heard of. I know nothing about her.”

On Friday morning, former President Donald Trump posted a $91.6 million bond for the $83.3 million civil defamation judgment in favor of writer E. Jean Carroll. The higher amount was required due to interest payments owed by Trump.
The bond was issued by Federal Insurance Company, a division of Chubb, which required extensive collateral, likely including mostly cast assets.
On Thursday, Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Trump’s request for a delay, ruling that Trump must either pay Carroll by Monday or provide a bond or assets as collateral while he appeals the jury’s verdict from January, which found him guilty of defaming Carroll after she accused him of rape in 2019.
This civil judgment is just one of three financial obligations Trump faces, with a total of $540 million owed to the New York attorney general and Carroll.

Donald Trump owes a lot of money in New York — including the state itself — after being found liable in multiple civil trials in Manhattan Court. He really, really, really, doesn’t want to pay up. On Friday, the former president posted a $91.6 million bond in order to appeal the ruling against him in a civil defamation case brought against him by author E. Jean Carroll.

Author and advice columnist E. Jean Carroll has raised significant suspicions about her ability to collect the $83 million judgment awarded to her in a defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump.
Last month the federal jury in New York awarded Carroll the $83.3 million after Trump was found guilty of defamation for denying her sexual assault allegations when she came forward publicly in 2019. Trump has consistently denied Carroll’s claims with the assertion that she fabricated the story to promote her book.
Trump recently proposed posting a $100 million bond in the fraud case in the appeals process, with the claim that the exorbitant judgment made it impossible to secure a bond for the full amount.
However, a New York judge ruled that enforcement of the multimillion-dollar judgment would only be paused if Trump could post a complete bond. If Trump fails to post the full judgment, New York Attorney General Letitia James...

Former President Donald Trump once again pretended not to know E. Jean Carroll during remarks at a Michigan Rally, even after being ordered to pay the columnist $83 million in a defamation case last month.
Carroll, who was found to have been sexually assaulted by the former president in the 1990s, filed a defamation suit after Trump made similar comments about their relationship. In January, a jury found him guilty of defamation and ordered him to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages.
This is the second defamation suit that Carroll has filed against Trump. The former president was previously ordered to pay her $5 million after being found guilty of defamation and sexual assault.

All American is returning in April for its sixth season, and there is no shortage of stories to explore after the way Season 5 ended.
During the show’s panel at The Television Critics Association winter press tour, showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll joined the cast to discuss all things Season 6.
Season 5 left audiences with several cliffhangers, including Spencer (Daniel Ezra) and Olivia (Samantha Logan) finally reconnecting at the airport as Liv is about to leave Los Angeles to spend the summer in London. Despite a bit of bad timing, Ezra and Logan assured that their characters will have kept their promise to be waiting for each other when Liv returns. However, it won’t be easy.

Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” isn’t new to the “turn something innocent into a horror movie” fad. Brave gamers might remember diving into the twisted mind of American McGee’s Alice, or indie film diehards could have caught 2010’s Alice in Murderland. Writer and director Richard John Taylor explores forbidden but charted territory with his fresh psychological thriller Alice in Terrorland, which can’t help but earn comparisons to other horror forward Wonderland adaptations. Luckily for Taylor’s cerebrally nasty and visually slick reimagining, the average lookalike doesn’t set a high bar to clear — hardly spectacular, but damn sure better than something like Alice in Murderland.
Lizzy Willis stars as little orphan Alice (named after Carroll’s book), the only survivor of a house fire that claimed her parents’ lives. Alice relocates to her grandmother’s sprawling yet dilapidated estate, where Ruth (Rula Lenska) assumes caretaking duties.

During Thursday’s episode of the George Conway Explains It All podcast, Kaplan said that she rejected the former president’s request that they work through their lunch break because he believed the deposition was a “waste of time.”
“And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it,” she said. “And he said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?'”

Roberta Kaplan, the lead lawyer for E. Jean Carroll in her defamation suit against former President Donald Trump, threatened to pursue sanctions against Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, for making a false claim about her relationship with U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who presided over the case.
On January 29, Habba stated in a letter to the federal court in Manhattan that Judge Kaplan had a conflict of interest that might warrant overturning the $83.3 million jury award for Carroll.
In her letter, Trump’s lawyer cited a New York Post article mentioning the judge allegedly working with Kaplan. (The two are not related.)
They both worked at Paul, Weiss Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison in the early 1990s, before Kaplan left to become a founding partner of Kaplan Hecker & Fink Llp.

After last Friday’s verdict awarding author E. Jean Carroll the $83 million from a New York City jury, she claimed she would donate the winnings to a cause that Donald Trump “hates” and will “cause him pain.”
In 2019, Carroll accused Trump of sexual assault and won after several years of legal battles. After winning the lawsuit, she has started dreaming up ways to use her new earnings. One of the ideas she has had is to create a fund for women who Trump has assaulted.
While on Good Morning America, Carroll announced that she cried after the trial following an exchange of smiles between herself and the jury.
This is not the first time that a jury has ruled in favor of Carroll over Trump after an assault that occurred in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 90s. A jury previously awarded her $5 million in damages last year in a separate case.

In 2023, Donald Trump‘s super PACs spent $50 million in donor funds on legal expenses.
Trump spent the money after being criminally indicted in his failed effort to overturn the election and misuse of classified documents. He also faces defamation and civil fraud cases in civil courts.
The former president began raising millions of donations to him after he lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
Trump pushed false claims of voter fraud to encourage his supporters to donate after his loss, attempts which have since become crucial to two of the indictments filed against him.
Save America, a Trump Pac which previously had over $100 million in the bank, almost went broke last year under the crush of legal fees.

Update: E. Jean Carroll appeared on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show on Monday night, where she said that encountering former President Donald Trump in court was like being in the presence of “nothing.”
“He is like a walrus snorting, and like a rhino flopping his hands. He is not there. That is what is the surprising thing to me,” she said.
That said, she said that she was “terrified” over the experience, which she said was the first time that she had seen him in person since 1996. That is when she claimed that he sexually assaulted her. A jury last year found Trump liable, and last week another jury ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million in a defamation verdict.
Even though she said that she was frightened when she took the stand, with Trump watching her from his seat, “Amazingly I looked out and he was nothing. He was a phantom.

The hosts of The View enjoyed the schadenfreude Monday morning by taking the stage to the theme song from The Apprentice.
“We just walked out to The O’Jays ‘For the Love of Money,’ which is the the theme song of The Apprentice, and that’s connected to the fact that you-know-who has to pay money, money, money, money … $83.3 million,” said host Whoopi Goldberg. “And you know, if he had just shut his mouth, he’d been dealing with 5 million dollars. But this is what happens when you’ve got a hard head and a soft behind.”
On Friday, a New York jury said Donald Trump has to pay E. Jean Carroll more than $83 million in her defamation trial against the former president. Of that award, $65 million is punitive damages and $11 million is for harm to the former Elle columnist’s reputation.

E. Jean Carroll says looking at Donald Trump during his defamation trial last week was “like looking at nothing” or “an emperor without clothes.”
The author and journalist who sued the former reality star and U.S. president after he claimed that she fabricated a sexual assault allegation against him to sell a book — an allegation a Manhattan federal jury found Trump liable for last year — spoke to CNN This Morning‘s Poppy Harlow and Phil Mattingly Monday.
With the duo, Carroll discussed being terrified in the days leading up to the trial and how she felt after while hearing the multimillion dollar judgement in her favor last Friday. “He was nothing,” she said while discussing seeing Trump in-person. “He was just — no power. He was zero.”
“He’s an emperor without clothes,” she added. “It’s like looking at nothing.”
