Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Law & Order is not dun-dun on NBC
May 8th, 2026 under Dick Wolf. [ Comments: none ]

For weeks, NBC has been keeping us on the edge of our seats when it comes to whether or not they were going to renew Law & Order for another season, or cancel it for a second time.

Today, the network made it official, announcing that it will be back for a 26th season, its fifth after an 11-year hiatus.

It is the second-longest-running live-action series on television. What is the longest? Its spinoff, Law & Order: SVU. Dick Wolf sure knows how to make shows that last and last.

A retired Veteran won the most money for a single game on The Price is Right

On today’s special Mother’s Day episode of The Price is Right, something very special happened. Vanessa, a retired veteran mom from Virginia, won over $240,000 while playing The Lion’s Share. That is the most money won by anyone during a single game in the game show’s 54-year history.

In the game, contestants guess the prices of grocery items to earn up to five balls. Each ball is then dropped into a wind tunnel, revealing a hidden prize amount. After each reveal, contestants face a tense decision to walk away with their current winnings or risk it all to continue. Vanesa didn’t hesitate and pushed forward through every round, ultimately revealing the prizes for all five balls, winning $227,500 in cash and a luxury trip for two to Morocco valued at $12,650, bringing her total winnings to an impressive $240,150 as her daughter cheered her on from the audience.

I feel bad for her daughter, who now has to top that gift! That is, unless she is one who got her tickets to appear on TPIR. Then she has given her mom a lifetime of presents for Mother’s Day.

NBC is announcing its 2026-2027 schedule on Monday morning, but we don’t have to wait until then to find out what new series will be joining the lineup.

David Boreanaz, who was on our TVs for 27 years straight, is returning to television after a two year hiatus in a reboot of The Rockford Files.

Also on the schedule are real-life newlyweds, Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, as newlyweds in Newlyweds.

The four series are:

NEW DRAMA SERIES

“LINE OF FIRE”

A family of law enforcement agents bridges personal differences and crosses professional boundaries as they tackle cases for the FBI, US Marshals, Secret Service, and Department of Justice. After a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice … even if it means betraying their sworn code.

The series stars Peter Krause, Hope Davis, Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien, Taylor Bloom, and Charlie Barnett.

“THE ROCKFORD FILES”

A contemporary update on the classic series of the same name. Newly paroled after doing time for a crime he didn’t commit, James Rockford returns to his life as a private investigator using his charm and wit to solve cases around Los Angeles. It doesn’t take long for his quest for legitimacy to land him squarely in the crosshairs of both local police and organized crime.

The series stars David Boreanaz, Michaela McManus, Felix Solis, and Jacki Weaver.

NEW COMEDY SERIES

“NEWLYWEDS”

A later-in-life love story about a free-spirited woman and a buttoned-up professor who marry impetuously after a whirlwind courtship.

The series stars Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, with Jamie Lee Curtis as a recurring guest star.

“SUNSET P.I.”

Continues the proud tradition of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe and will end with this show.

The series stars Jake Johnson, Jane Levy, Langston Kerman, Mary Shalaby, and Keith David.

This is not our childhood Pinocchio
May 8th, 2026 under Jagged Edge Productions. [ Comments: none ]

We grew up with a lovable Pinocchio from Disney, but that is not the marionette we are getting in Pinocchio Unstrung.

A chilling reimagining of the familiar fable, Pinocchio Unstrung, unfolds inside an elite London prep school. Influenced by a sinister Cricket (Robert Englund) and created by Geppetto (Richard Brake), Pinocchio launches a violent crusade to carve himself into a real boy like his brother James, one piece at a time.

The latest film in Jagged Edge Productions Poohniverse is coming to theaters on July 24th.

Am I the only one who is curious what makes his nose grow in this take?

R.J. Decker is still on ABC’s case
May 8th, 2026 under ABC. [ Comments: none ]

ABC announced on social media today that R.J. Decker will be back for a second season.

The show stars Scott Speedman as R.J. Decker, a former newspaper photographer and ex-con who starts over as a private investigator in the colorful-if-crime-filled world of South Florida. The series follows him tackling cases that range from slightly odd to outright bizarre with the help of his journalist ex, her police detective wife, and a shadowy woman from his past who could be his greatest ally … or his one-way ticket back to prison.

The show has not been a hit, but its renewal was helped by having Will Trent and High Potential as a lead in.
