2024’s final moments are almost upon us, as December arrives brimming with holiday cheer, stirring excitement for marathon viewing sessions among television enthusiasts. If you happen to be one of the numerous individuals who enjoy watching series on Paramount+, this streaming service is marking the season in an engaging way by adding a variety of TV shows to their platform.
Collaboratively, OBEY and Reebok have combined efforts to introduce a fresh lineup of sneakers and clothing inspired by classic designs from the iconic American sports apparel brand.
Ted Danson’s debut in leading a premium streaming series has predictably been as successful and well-liked as many of his other popular shows. Viewers are captivated by A Man on the Inside, making it the most emotionally resonant comedy in the 2024 TV lineup and earning praise from critics. The show also reunited Danson with creator Michael Schur from The Good Place, and there were several on-screen reunions. However, the most notable cameo was perhaps the subtlest one, featuring both Kristen Bell and a striped sweater.
Relationships formed during the “Survivor” series often don’t last, but there are exceptions. Among those exceptions, I find myself rooting most for Frannie and Matt from Season 44. They were skillful players in the game, but what truly captivated viewers was their romance, which originated on the show. Now, they are discussing potential participation in another popular reality series, “The Amazing Race,” further solidifying their bond off-screen.
Most film critics, including the renowned Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times – often considered the preeminent movie critic in history – generally weren’t big fans of horror films. Whether it was on their TV show, Siskel & Ebert, with Gene Siskel, or through print reviews, Ebert tended to be critical of most horror movies. Few scary films made it onto his Great Movies list (just 16, according to his website), and four-star ratings were scarce. However, this doesn’t mean he never found them impressive; for instance, Wes Craven’s New Nightmare was one such example that left an impression on him.
