In the lead-up to this year’s Emmy nominations, most pundits expected the HBO anthology series “The White Lotus” to pick up multiple acting bids, but almost none were bold enough to predict its eventual haul of eight. Nearly every member of the first season’s ensemble cast has a shot at the gold, with Murray Bartlett, Jake Lacy, and Steve Zahn competing in the Best TV Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor category and Connie Britton, Jennifer Coolidge, Alexandra Daddario, Natasha Rothwell, and Sydney Sweeney taking up all but two spots in the corresponding female lineup.
Although 15 other limited programs have amassed at least three featured male notices apiece, “The White Lotus” is the first to net more than three supporting actress bids. Furthermore, it stands as one of only three live action shows of any genre to receive five same-year nominations in a single primetime acting category. This is...

Joe or a Jem, ThunderCats was another successful cartoon series based on a popular toy line — in this case one in which alien felines squared off against an evil mummy. Because 1980s, awesome.
Debuting in syndication in 1985 and usually scheduled in after school time slots alongside shows like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Transformers, M.A.S.K. and, er, Heathcliff, the show’s initial run spawned 130 episodes of feline inter-spacial conflict.

If you caught the new ThunderCats animated series premiere, you were probably more than a little pissed off because of three things: 1) Grune returned to the ThunderCats kingdom to tell King Claudus that Panthro was dead. Most African American viewers called bullsh*t when this happened. Everyone who watched the original series knew that Panthro was the black ThunderCat. Like most cartoons, video games and TV shows, if there is a big guy with weapons (ie GI Joe‘s Roadblock), he’s usually a big black guy. Also everyone’s favorite grandpa, Earle Hyman from The Cosby Show voiced Panthro, making Panthro the wise father figure you always wanted to look up to. So, Panthro was dead? Really. Weak sauce. Later on, Panthro was revealed to be Grune’s captive. Unfortunately, then Panthro then killed King Claudus. Old school viewers called bullsh*t once again. Thankfully, it was then revealed that Panthro was Mumm-ra,...
