Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Are you still sad that Hulu decided not to move forward with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel? Well, Mattel found a way to make you feel better and create your own sequel. How? They are releasing Buffy products from their Monster High and Polly Pocket lines.

The Monster High box comes with a 10.5″ Buffy and an 11″ Angel doll. She is wearing bold red pants, a black faux-leather jacket, a holster belt, a crossbow, a stake, and black boots with a secret weapon. Her lover, Angel, dons a dark Celtic-printed shirt, black pants, a black pleather trench, and a silver sword necklace.

The Polly Pocket Compact comes with Buffy, Willow, and Xander to slay in two different locations. The top part is based on the library where they worked with Niles, and the bottom part takes place 6 feet under, as in a cemetery where the vampires hang out.

I would run to buy one of the two if they came with a Spike figure. Let’s be honest, he was the only reason to watch during the latter seasons.

Both sets are expected to be released on September 4th

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.

Before David Boreanaz was dating Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he was dating a Bundy on Married…with Children. How sexy was the 23-year-old on a bike in that 1993 episode?

SEAL Team has had an honorable run on CBS for four seasons and two more on Paramount+. However, today the streaming service announced that the military drama’s seventh season will be its final one.

“For six seasons, I have been fortunate and blessed to be a part of an outstanding cast and crew,” said series star and executive producer David Boreanaz. “Every day spent was a note of thanks to our men and women in the military and Special OPS. I thank our fans, and I’m proud we were able to make this show to shine light in the darkness toward so many suffering today. I look forward to season seven and the opportunity to end this series with love and gratitude.”

SEAL Time begins production next month, and the seventh season will debut in 2024.

CBS decided to move SEAL Team season 5 to Paramount+ after a few final episodes on broadcast. Today, the streaming service announced that it did so well they are picking up the military drama that stars David Boreanaz for season 6.

“We are very excited to welcome SEAL TEAM back for another season on Paramount+,” said Nicole Clemens, President, Paramount+ Original Scripted Series. “The show’s loyal fanbase followed the series to its new exclusive home, and it has proven to be a high-performing title for the service, consistently in the top 10 most-watched original series. We can’t wait for the fans to see what our brilliant creative team has in store for Team Bravo next season!”

Say you what you want about streaming services, but they are helping series get the proper chance to say goodbye.

Oh, and there is some more renewal news. Paramount+ picked up The Game sequel for a second season. And Fox is staying in Hell’s Kitchen for two more seasons.
