Deborah Vance may have finally opened her door (literally) to her estranged sister Kathy, but that doesn’t mean she’s fully ready to let bygones be bygones.
In Episode 7 of Max’s Hacks, Deborah hosts a lavish Christmas party for her friends and family, including a fake winter wonderland and gifts with only the finest French edges. But when her pregnant daughter DJ wants to invite her aunt for the holiday, Deb reluctantly agrees to invite Kathy to the festive gathering which leads to desecrated gingerbread, a baby gift overstep and (since this is Hacks we’re watching) a dramatic argument fueled by faux-snowballs.

One of the most iconic shows of the late-’70s and ’80s, Dallas was Friday night’s must-see TV. The CBS series told the saga of two oil families, the wealthy Ewing family and the struggling Barnes family. The March 1980 cliffhanger episode, “Who Shot J.R.?,” took the U.S. by storm, with buzz building about the mystery throughout the summer and fall. When Dallas returned on November 21, 1980, 350 million people tuned in to find out who had shot J.R.
Since the 14-season drama ended, Dallas fans have fondly recalled the cast members. So, which ones are still alive?

Since its first episode in 1987, The Bold and the Beautiful has provided audiences with a never-ending supply of drama, passion, and betrayal on the small-screen. And even though B&b is popular all over the world, it has lost its appeal over time. One of the biggest complaints about the show is that it repeats the same stories.

It’s been 11 years since Patrick Duffy’s The Bold and the Beautiful character, Stephen Logan, left Los Angeles for Dallas. The actor’s reason? Dallas! Duffy exited the soap to return to his iconic role of Bobby Ewing on the TV reboot. Now Stephen is back for two more episodes, November 23 and November 28, surprising daughters Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Donna (Jennifer Gareis), and Katie (Heather Tom) — and bringing along his new significant other, Lucy, played by Duffy’s real-life partner of more than two years, former Happy Days actress Linda Purl. Over the years, Duffy and B&b executive producer Bradley Bell had joked about Stephen’s return. (The two have a mutual friend who owns a ranch next to the actor’s in Oregon.)

Viacom-owned British broadcaster Channel 5 has picked up the UK rights to Sony Pictures Television’s Crackle drama The Oath.
The network will launch the 50 Cent-exec produced drama on its digital service My5 as part of a strategy of bolstering the VOD platform with first-run exclusives.
The Oath, which has been renewed for a second season by Crackle, was created by Joe Halpin (Hawaii Five-0) and explores a world of gangs made up of those sworn to protect and defend. It sheds light on corrupt and secret societies that are nearly impossible to join—only a select few make the cut—but once inside, members will do what they must to protect each other from enemies on the outside and from within their own ranks.
It stars Sean Bean, Ryan Kwanten, also a producer, Cory Hardrict, Katrina Law, Arlen Escarpeta and J.J. Soria. Rounding out the ensemble cast are: Elisabeth Röhm,...

“I think when you have a format that’s only 10 episodes, and you know that you don’t have a studio or a network basically dictating what you can or cannot do, it leaves a lot of freedom to explore different realms,” says Katrina Law about Sony Crackle’s original series The Oath, adding, “It’s interesting that people are really gravitating to this because they do want to see something that is outside the box and not normally what’s tackled on network television … I don’t think a normal television show would tackle something this slice-of-life.”
Law and her fellow Oath star Cory Hardrict recently sat down for an episode of Deadline’s Next Generation TV video series to talk about their crime drama, which was just renewed for a second season on the streaming service. Sony Crackle says it is the platform’s most-watched new original series ever.

The good ol’ horror-loving folks at Scream! Factory recently gave us a double dose of hospital-themed terror in high definition with their Bad Dreams/Visiting Hours Blu-ray, which features the two cult classics as well as a handful of new bonus features. Par for the course, Scream’s presentation of the material is yet another home run, making it a must-own for fans or even the uninitiated.
First up on the hospital horror double feature is Bad Dreams, which follows a young woman named Cynthia (Jennifer Rubin) who awakens from a 13-year coma the sole survivor of a religious cult that burned together in a suicide pact orchestrated by an enigmatic leader named Harris (Richard Lynch). Harris believed true spiritual unity awaited his followers if they all died together, but of course with Cynthia surviving, that leaves her leader with some unfinished business. Soon, the young woman begins to fear...

Scream Factory continues their winning streak of releasing horror film favorites with their double feature Blu-ray release of 1988’s Bad Dreams and 1982’s Visiting Hours. They originally released these films together on DVD in September 2011.
Bad Dreams opened on Friday, April 8, 1988 and is, in hindsight, eerily prescient of David Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidian religious sect who met a horrific end when the FBI closed in on him and his compound ignited into a conflagration on April 19, 1993 in Waco, TX. Jim Jones and the Jonestown deaths in 1978 also come to mind. In this film, the late Richard Lynch plays a cult leader named Harris who convinces a group of people that love and unity are the only ways to live, and he shows that love by dousing them all in gasoline and lighting them on fire. Jennifer Rubin plays Cynthia, a confused and reluctant holdout...

You know you've been thinking about it too. Which seemingly peaceful "Homeland" good guy is actually working for the dark side -- Abu Nazir and Al Qaeda? Here are four predictions on the character that might actually not be who you think they are.
1. David Estes (David Harewood) -- This might be an obvious choice to include but let's be real: Estes has gone out of his way, at every moment to sabotage Carrie. Even in the pilot episode of Season 1, he continuously disrupted her questioning of Sargent Brody (Damian Lewis) right after he got back to the U.S. Does he know Carrie knows too much? Is he Nazir's main pawn at attacking America? What do we not yet know from his past that might make him a mole?
2. Dana Brody (Morgan Saylor) --- It's already pretty shocking that Dana revealed Brody's religion in the Season 2 opener. What's...

Following last week's relative snoozer, this week's True Blood once again had chicken-fried batsh*t on the menu, with all sorts of minor revelations and developments adding up to one complicated humdinger of an episode.
Strap on your bib and let's dig in!
We start off with a shot from the Channel 5 Vampcam - new vamp (and newly-exfoliated) Tara (Rutina Wesley) is wandering around in the woods gazing at the sky and looking at squirrels. Ah - I get it - becoming a vampire is just like that time I ate mushrooms and went to the planetarium. Now it all makes sense! She runs from Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) and ends up almost eating a girl with a flat tire - but she sees her own vampy reflection in the windshield, apologizes, and scoots off. She's pretty fast for someone who's so hungry, isn't she? She must have grabbed a Snickers.

Alan Ball will be stepping down as showrunner of "True Blood" at the end of Season 5, and now we know who will replace him should HBO renew the series for a Season 6. But before we get ahead of ourselves, here are the synopses of Episodes 5.01, 5.02, and 5.03, airing June 10, 17, and 24.
According to Deadline, co-executive producer Mark Hudis will be upped to executive producer/showrunner for Season 6 as part of an overall deal he has signed with HBO. The two-year pact also includes a development component.
Hudis has been on "True Blood" for two seasons — last year’s Season 4 and Season 5, which premieres June 10th. While his and Ball’s paths previously crossed on the CBS comedy series "Cybill", where they co-wrote several episodes during the 1997-98 season, the two first met two decades ago working at trade publication AdWeek. While leaving "True Blood" full-time after Season 5, Ball is staying in business...
