Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Back in 2019, when The Big Bang Theory ended, Mayim Bialik and Blossom creator Don Reo talked about rebooting their ’90s sitcom. They wrote a script and started pitching it to Disney, who owns the rights.

Then, she got Call Me Kat and Jeopardy, and it got pushed to the back burner.

But when Kat got cancelled, and she and Jeopardy parted ways, they went back to Disney because they were ready to do the show.

But after the strikes and changes in leadership, they were no longer interested.

The actress and the producer asked if they could have the rights to the sitcom, and Disney said no.

She wrote on her Substack, “While it is possible no one wants a Blossom reboot, I’m pretty certain Disney got this one wrong. The sun is gonna surely shine. Maybe not the way Don and I intended, but this door closed. While we didn’t want it to, we are powerless over every aspect of it except what we know to be true: we loved this possibility with all that we have and we are so so sorry we couldn’t get it to happen.”

Personally, I think Disney got it right. No one asked for it, and no one really wanted it.

Bialik added, “Since this all fell apart, my desire to continue to pursue on-camera roles has waned.” I might be wrong, but I think her on-camera roles greatly diminished after her failed attempt to host Jeopardy. She was not well received on the game show, and fans of it were very vocal about that.

It is a good thing she has a Ph.D. in neuroscience to fall back on.

Do you think Disney got it right or wrong?

When CBS announced that this season of Young Sheldon would be its last, we were sad.

But then they gave us something to look forward to. They revealed that Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik would reprise their roles as Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler.

Today, the network shared a first look at the two from the series finale, which airs on May 16th. And it is obvious that this episode is going to be bittersweet.

At least it will not be the last time that we will see the Coopers. Sheldon’s big brother is getting a spinoff next season, Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage, with Montana Jordan and Emily Osment.

Young Sheldon is coming to an end on May 16th, and it is going out with a big bang. As in, The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik will guest star as Old Sheldon and Amy Farrah Fowler.

This is the first time they have played their characters on camera since the TBBT finale in 2019.

And what they will be doing on this season finale is a mystery. And I can’t wait to see what happens in two months.

Mayim Bialik woke up excited to go to the Daytime Emmys because she was nominated for being a host of Jeopardy, but she got some bad news before she hit the red carpet.

“As the holiday break begins in Hollywood, I have some Jeopardy! news,” she wrote. “Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy! I am incredibly honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Jeopardy! family.

“For all of you who have supported me through this incredible journey and to the fans, contestants, writers, staff and crew of America’s Favorite Quiz Show, thank you.”

The actress opted not to work on the game show while both strikes were going on, even though she was cleared to do so after the WGA strike ended.

Now that the strikes are over, she was ready to go back to work. But I think people realized that Ken Jennings is a much better host and so much more likable than she is.

Seriously, does Jeopardy need two hosts? I don’t think so, and it appears neither did Sony.

Don’t worry about Bialik. She will be fine. She gets Big Bang Theory residual money.

UPDATE: Jeopardy responded to Bialik’s firing. To see what the game show said, then click here!

I don’t know about you, but I don’t know anyone who likes Mayim Bialik as a host on Jeopardy. And now we know that she will not be back hosting Celebrity Jeopardy on ABC. Instead, Ken Jennings is taking over the role.

So, was the actress fired? “She wasn’t fired,” an insider told The Messenger. “She’s choosing to stand with her union, and because of that, she was told it is unlikely she will return for the rest of the year, even if the strike is resolved before then.”

So what about the daily show? She is hoping to split duties with Jennings again when the strikes are over. But will they want her? We know we don’t.
