Last year, Little House on the Prarie celebrated its 50th anniversary. And it is still a very popular series in syndication by fans new and old.
It seemed like Michael Landon created a timeless family drama that did not need to be remade. However, today, Netflix announced, “Little House on the Prairie, a reimagining of the Laura Ingalls Wilder book series, is coming to Netflix!
“Part family drama, part survival tale, and part origin story, the series will offer a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the American West.”
The streamer is keeping it in the family of the OG program because the son of the man who bought the rights to the books in 1972 is producing this updated version of the classic story.
“It has been a long-held dream of mine to carry on my father’s legacy and adapt Wilder’s classic American stories for a 21st-century audience in a way that brings together fans of both the books and the original television series,” said Trip Friendly from Friendly Family Productions said in a statement. “I am thrilled by our talented creative team led by Rebecca Sonnenshine, who are bringing these beloved stories about family, community, and survival to longtime fans and new generations.”
I really hope they ask Alison Arngrim to play Mrs.Oleson. How amazing would it be if Nellie grew up to play her mom? That is, if the show is based on the third book in the franchise when the Ingalls move to Walnut Grove, Minnesota.
Sweet Magnolias will be back for its fourth season on February 6th. Today, Netflix released the first look for this upcoming season, and it appears that our ladies are not going to have a sweet holiday season.
Come spend the holidays in Serenity. This season takes us from Halloween to Christmas, with surprising laughter, unexpected heartbreak, and renewed resolve along the way. While negotiating the twists and turns of their romantic lives, Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott), and Helen (Heather Headley) must also navigate the return of old foes, the loss of great loves, and the pain of transition from past dreams to present ones. As the men in their lives pursue their own dreams and the teenagers take uneasy steps toward adulthood, the Magnolias support each other with creative problem-solving, deep-hearted commitment, and — as always — weekly margaritas.
So, get the tequila ready because we are going to need it as we watch the three best friends on television go through some happy and sad times.
Have you been wondering when Sweet Magnolias will be back on Netflix? Well, today, the streamer announced when the sweet, yes I said it, show returns.
Get your calendars and mark down February 6th. That is nine days before Valentine’s Day. And there is a reason why I am bringing that up. This season takes place between Halloween and Christmas. That is going to make things confusing for me because I will just start getting over this holiday season, and then I will feel like I am reliving those days.
Anyways, what can we expect to happen in the series’ two-month timeline? Come spend the holidays in Serenity, as Season 4 of Sweet Magnolias takes us from Halloween to Christmas, with surprising laughter, unexpected heartbreak, and renewed resolve along the way. While negotiating the twists and turns of their romantic lives, Maddie, Dana Sue, and Helen must also navigate the return of old foes, the loss of great loves, and the pain of transition from past dreams to present ones. As the men in their lives pursue their own dreams and the teenagers take uneasy steps toward adulthood, the Magnolias support each other with creative problem-solving, deep-hearted commitment, and — as always — weekly margaritas.
I can’t wait to laugh and cry with the residents of Serenity Falls!
Ted Danson and EP Mike Schur worked on a sweet little show called The Good Place, and people loved their partnership.
So, when Netflix announced that the two would be working on another series together, we couldn’t wait to watch A Man on the Inside. And we watched. So much so that it has been in the the streamer’s Top 10 for the three weeks it has been out.
Since it is doing so well, Netflix announced today that the dramedy will be back for a second season. Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television: said, “A Man on the Inside is equal parts charming, emotional and funny with a brilliant cast that has made the first season such a delight. A massive thanks to Mike, Ted, the cast and crew, and Netflix for giving us even more reasons to laugh, shed a tear and definitely call our families.”
Creator Schur responded to the news: “We are thrilled to make another season of A Man on the Inside, starring young up-and-comer Ted Danson. From our partners at Netflix and Universal TV to the writers, cast, and crew, it’s a truly exceptional team of talented and lovely people, with one notable exception (young up-and-comer Ted Danson, who’s kind of a nightmare).”
Danson plays a retired man who is recruited to go undercover at an assisted living facility to solve a robbery. Along the way, the inexperienced spy becomes friends with his neighbors in the most lovable way.
This show captures Danson’s kindness because he is one of the nicest people in Hollywood.
There is so much to love about it, even my teenage nieces are loving it. So, if you haven’t watched it yet, you can watch it here. You won’t be disappointed.
In the ’90s, American daytime talk television changed for the worse with the likes of Montell Williams, Maury Povich, Jenny Jones, and Ricki Lake. However, the show that was most notable for trash TV was The Jerry Springer Show.
We watched the fights, the tears, the cursing, the fights (you have to mention it twice), and so much on our television sets. But did you ever wonder what really went on when the cameras weren’t rolling?
Netflix is going to show us that in Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action.
This jaw-dropping, premium two-part series will tell the story of The Jerry Springer Show as it’s never been told before. Packed with extraordinary first-hand testimony and revelations from show insiders, the series explores how this daytime talk show became one of the biggest and most outrageous TV hits of the nineties. But behind the entertaining facade lay some darker truths. As we hear from the producers and ex-guests of The Jerry Springer Show, a murkier picture begins to emerge of the destruction it caused, raising renewed questions about who was responsible, and how far things should go in the name of entertainment.
