There was a moment last November when Channel 4 ’s senior executives breathed a sigh of relief. Sat at the top table of Channel 4’s 40th birthday party, Chief Executive Alex Mahon was flanked by her friend Elisabeth Murdoch and doyens of UK broadcasting, including BBC Director-General Tim Davie and Carolyn McCall, ITV’s Chief Executive. They were raising a glass to a British success story in a rare public display of unity. On the same table was Thérèse Coffey, a senior government minister who had survived three prime ministers in the space of little more than three months. Her presence at the V&A Museum event bemused others, who believed the government only had hostile intentions for Channel 4 after sanctioning a sale of the broadcaster against its wishes. Things soon got weirder. Coffey turned to Mahon and asked if she could raise a glass to Channel 4. She then proceeded to surprise the room full of TV luminaries by serenading her hosts with a rendition of happy … [Read more...] about Channel 4: Inside The Doomed Sale Of A Crown Jewel Of British Television

Leave it to a sitcom vet like Melissa Rauch to remind the industry that everything old can be new again. After persuading Warner Bros. TV to dust off the Night Court IP and revive it for NBC, multi-cams are suddenly hot again, with every broadcast network — and even a few streamers like Netflix (home to new hit That ’90s Show , which just got renewed ) are putting studio audience comedies in development. While no one is straight-up abandoning single-cams — the success of CBS’ Ghosts and ABC’s Abbott Elementary have certainly made sure of that — there’s no beating the cost-effectiveness of one of TV’s most tried and true genres. “Everybody had a hunch they should probably be doing more of them,” says one high-powered comedy agent. “Night Court is a good sign there is an appetite for that. Everything I’m hearing out of CBS, for example, is that they have pretty hard caps they are trying to hit on these multi-camera shows. The Conners is an exception because … [Read more...] about Thanks, ‘Night Court’! How Multi-Cams Are Having A Moment … Again

Hollywood’s most famous mountain lion will be remembered today at the Greek Theater in Griffith Park in a public and family friendly memorial put on by the “Save LA Cougars.” The event is free and open to the public, and will be filmed for a documentary. The event will run from noon Pacific time until 2 PM. Free tickets are gone, but a livestream of the memorial can be viewed here. The “Save LA Cougars” group campaigned for a wildlife crossing over a Los Angeles-area freeway to permit safe passage between the mountains and other areas. The bridge broke ground in April. P-22 was captured on Dec. 12 in a Los Feliz backyard. He had been hit by a car shortly before that, and an examination revealed a skull fracture, a skin condition, and liver and kidney diseases. The mountain lion had lived beyond a typical age for his kind, and the decision was made to euthanize him. His remains are stored in a freezer at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. But what … [Read more...] about Celebrity Mountain Lion P-22 To Be Memorialized At Public Wake, But Controversy Looms Over His Remains – Watch Livestream

UPDATED : Famed Griffith Park mountain lion P-22 has been captured by wildlife officials, according to a resident who posted photos of the capture online. The resident, Sarah Picchi, tells the Los Angeles Times that wildlife officials tranquilized the cat in her backyard. Picchi heard a buzz at her front gate just before noon. She heard the people at the gate say they were with “something wildlife.” She thought they were asking for donations for a wildlife charity, and told them it was not a good time. “The woman said, ‘No, I’m with Wildlife. You have a lion in your backyard,’ ” Picchi said in an interview with The Times. The officials told her it was P-22, whom she knew about from the news. P-22 was quickly located and tranquilized. “We have a quarter of an acre and there are a lot of trees. I think he was just resting down there,” Picchi told the Times. “He looked healthy.” Authorities announced last week they plan to capture the lion to evaluate its … [Read more...] about “You Have A Lion In Your Backyard”; Griffith Park’s Celebrity Cougar P-22 Captured In Los Feliz – Updated

Jack Roland Murphy just about had it all: Kennedy-esque good looks, charm to burn, athletic talent and even a musical gift. Still, he wanted more. The man who became a legendary jewel thief – he bagged the priceless Star of India from a New York museum – before graduating to murder is the focus of the documentary series Murf the Surf : Jewels, Jesus and Mayhem in the USA , which premieres on MGM+ on Sunday. Renowned filmmaker R.J. Cutler directed and executive produced the four-part series. “ Murf the Surf tells the story of one of the most complicated and notorious American crime figures ever, Jack Roland Murphy,” Cutler has explained in a director’s statement, “who became America’s very first true crime television superstar in 1964, a mere few months after the assassination of John F. Kennedy.” In episode 1 of the series, Murf describes his upbringing as “storybook.” It was hardly that, unless the book in question is Grimm’s Fairytales. When Jack was six, … [Read more...] about In ‘Murf The Surf,’ Director R.J. Cutler Explores Dashing Jewel Thief-Turned Murderer Who Became A Proto-True Crime Celebrity
