In 2003, the San Diego Comic-Con was a much less intense event than it is today, but networks and studios still saw the value of promoting new TV shows to fans. So, a few months before the premiere of the miniseries that re-launched “Battlestar Galactica,” creator Ronald D. Moore and cast members Edward James Olmos, Jamie Bamber, and Katee Sackhoff, sat on a raised platform in one of the venue’s smaller conference rooms.

The traditional pay-TV universe of 300-plus channels is going to shrink dramatically over the next 10 years, Hulu CEO Randy Freer predicted — with maybe a dozen cable TV networks still standing. “In the next decade, it’s not going to be about scheduled [linear] networks,” said Freer, speaking at the BI Ignition conference Tuesday in New York City. The winners will be cable networks “that have been able to build a brand” that resonates with consumers, but most of the TV nets that are around today probably won’t exist.

If you’re trying to get a grasp of classic jazz, forget about listening for a second — try watching.

If you really want to understand how Silicon Valley works today, you should watch the HBO series “Silicon Valley”.

This authentic take on the first Neapolitan novel is the most honest and vivid portrait of the lives of young girls ever brought to TV

There’s no shortage of wonderful episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants—but anyone trying to pick their top three is almost guaranteed to cite “Band Geeks,” from Season 2. It’s a classic: Squidward pulls together a band at the last minute in an attempt to impress a former classmate from band camp, the intimidating Squilliam Fancyson.

The Bay Area chef believes that great food can be both beautiful and accessible. Her new Netflix series, based on her celebrated cookbook, might just help her deliver that message.

Netflix and Warner Bros settle with The Satanic Temple after the group tries to sue them for using images of their goat statue in the new Sabrina series.

Secret interrogations, elaborately staged deceptions, conspiracies and murder ... John le Carré’s murky spy thriller could not be more relevant. David Cornwell, or John le Carré, as we usually call him, must have been wincing as he viewed the CCTV stills of those two Russian visitors to Salisbury. He was surely shaking his head in dismay as he watched their later avowals of their touristic interest in Salisbury Cathedral on Russian TV.

In April producer Adi Shankar launched a spec script contest for “The Simpsons” to solve what has become known as the show’s “Apu Problem.” The long-running character, a convenience store owner voiced by Hank Azaria, has become a controversial figure because many believe him to be an inaccurate and hurtful portrayal of Indian-Americans.

The “Star Trek” universe continues to grow at CBS All Access. The streamer has given out an order for two seasons of a half-hour animated comedy series called “Star Trek: Lower De…

Apu has become controversial recently, with some people arguing that he is an Indian stereotype.

Football announcers care about brain injuries. But they often lack the vocabulary to talk about them. Chris Nowinski has a new program that’s trying to help them.

What is dead may never die. This is a religious oath recited often by the people of the Iron Islands on Game of Thrones. It is also increasingly the guiding ethos of Hollywood development, where any familiar title, no matter how sacrosanct it might have once seemed, is ripe for a sequel, a prequel, a reboot or all of the above. This includes Game of Thrones itself, which is due to end next year but has a prequel in active development, and several other potential spinoffs waiting in the wings if that one works out OK.

Though Netflix’s early success can obviously be traced back to the company sending out DVDs of movies to customers in the mail, the company in recent years has done something of a 180. In a relatively short amount of time, Netflix has transformed itself into a streaming powerhouse filled to the brim with a wide array of original content. These days, people are more likely to think of Netflix as a place to watch original TV shows like Stranger Things than as a place to enjoy hit movies.

With the arrival of Disney +, there have been some concerns about where future Daredevil seasons would end up, but if the showrunner has his way it will be on Netflix. Daredevil season 3 showrunner Erik Oleson recently took to social media to confirm that they are looking to continue the series on Netflix, saying "Just pitched @netflix #Daredevil Season 4. Fingers crossed!." With the recent cancellations of shows like Luke Cage and Iron Fist, some had assumed Marvel and Netflix were bringing their partnership to a close, leaving the futures of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and...

The Walking Dead's new bad guys, the Whisperers, are still steeped in mystery. If you have not read the comics, you may not be familiar with them...

“We’ve launched our last satellite,” John Donovan, CEO of AT&T Communications, said in a meeting with analysts on Nov. 29. The AT&T executive effectively declared the end of the satellite-TV era with that statement. AT&T owns DirecTV, the US’s largest satellite company—and second largest TV provider overall, behind Comcast. DirecTV will continue offering satellite-TV service—it had nearly 20 million satellite video subscribers as of September, per company filings.

The TV remote as we know it came about for one simple reason – one man’s desire to mute the ads he felt were ruining his TV watching.

There are many changes in Sunday’s Season 9 premiere of “The Walking Dead,” but here’s one of the biggest for star Norman Reedus: “I didn’t really say much, the last couple of seasons. I’m talking my ass off now.” He laughed. “[Former star] Andy [Lincoln] will call and he goes, ‘How’s it going?’ I’m like, ‘You’re such an asshole. I can’t believe you left me. I have all these lines now. I have to memorize stuff all the time.'”

“Better Call Saul” inches closer to its sequel series “Breaking Bad” each season—not just in terms of converging storylines, but also in overall tone. The jovial and light-hearted nature of early seasons has given way to darkness. The silly antics have been replaced by moves of desperation, and in the scope of dynamic television characters, few rival Jimmy McGill’s quality and complexity. Each new episode of “Better Caul Saul” adds a layer of the titular character to further his evolution into Saul Goodman, whom viewers came to know in “Breaking Bad.”

I will tell you up front (at the risk of making you close the tab, but honesty and humility are in part the subject matter here): This may be the least sexy movie-star profile you will ever read. Because you know that thing where you meet a movie star and right off you bond over taking your high-school-aged kids on college tours? No, I don’t know that thing, either.

Mr. Spinney’s remarkable run as Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, two of the most beloved characters on television, will end this week.

It’s well-established at this point: Even in a rarified tropical environment, nothing good happens inside a glass-walled circular travel pod. That lesson seems to play a part in the upcoming “Treehouse of Horror XXIX” episode of “The Simpsons,” which sees the family trapped in a “Jurassic World”-style park. The twist here seems to be that someone has infused dinosaurs with DNA from some familiar faces.

Netflix is returning to Dreamland. The streaming giant has handed out a two-season renewal to The Simpsons creator Matt Groening's animated comedy Disenchantment. The order is for 20 additional episodes total, matching the initial pickup for the series and taking it through four seasons of 10. Season two, aka the second half of its initial order, will air on 2019. Seasons three and four will air in 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Netflix's new German shows cut across genres, including a pair of contemporary crime drama, a sci-fi dystopia set in a post-apocalyptic Europe, a period epic from 9 A.D. and a family mini-series about Christmas. Netflix is upping its output of German-language series, ordering 5 new German shows for its global streaming service.

When “Mystery Science Theater 3000” returned for what was technically Season 12 on Thanksgiving Day, it did so under the weight of a huge cliffhanger: At the end of Season 11, Jonah (Jonah Ray) had been devoured by a robot snake — his ultimate fate left in the balance…a fact that gets totally brushed aside at the beginning of the first episode, so that Jonah and his faithful robot friends Crow (Hampton Yount) and Tom Servo (Baron Vaughn) can get back to what matters: making fun of bad movies on the Satellite of Love.
