When a show has an ensemble cast, it’s not that easy of a task to find the one character you will commit to. There are storylines in which you love some of them a little more, and then everything changes, and the sweetheart becomes the most annoying person, or on the contrary, the ones who are brought to the picture to make you frustrated turn into the characters you learn to love.
In The Big Bang Theory there are many annoying characters. But that doesn’t stop us from loving them. The main gang, which includes Leonard, Sheldon, Raj, Howard, and Penny, is always at the center of attention, and from episode to episode the level of annoyance with them changes.
The same goes about all the secondary characters. For example, one of the show’s recurring characters, Stuart, is an A-okay man when we first meet him, but...

ABC is putting parents under the microscope. The network is set to preview “The Parent Test,” a new unscripted series that follows 12 families as they are run through various situations, with a special premiere on Thursday, Dec. 15 at 10 p.m. Et (following the special “Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration”).
Comedian Ali Wentworth (“Head Case”) hosts “The Parent Test” and moderates the series’ conversations with parents alongside Dr. Adolph Brown (who goes by the nickname “Doc Brown”), a master teacher and clinical psychologist who serves as the show’s parenting expert.
“I hope it starts much more of a national conversation about how we’re raising our kids,” Wentworth says. “I think what the pandemic did was throw all the old ideas about parenting out the window. Things like screens and social media, where you may have had a rule about it before the pandemic. But then, you wanted your kids to feel connected,...

It is fair to say that Al Pacino has made some questionable decisions as to what movies he has starred in recently. With Danny Collins though he reminds us just how charming he can be, in a movie about reclaiming lost life…. Inspired by a true story, Al Pacino plays Danny Collins an aging 1970s rocker who keeps himself going through the use of coke and alcohol. When his manager and best friend Frank (Christopher Plummer) uncovers a 40-year-old undelivered letter to Danny from John Lennon, it inspires Danny to look back on his life and to his roots. In visiting his home town though and seeking out his family, he may not like what he finds.

The film also stars John Patrick Jordan (‘American Pie,’ ‘Mad Men’) and Brian Thomas Smith (‘The Big Bang Theory,’ ‘Happy Endings’).

Yes, she’s hot. Like, ridiculously hot. Out-of-Leonard’s-league hot. I realize this, fellow Big Bang Theory fans. But that can’t possibly be the only reason that Leonard is interested in Raj’s sister Priya, right? After spending three seasons watching Penny and Leonard’s will-they-won’t-they-wow-they-just-did-now-what?, I’ll admit I was curious, and excited, about the prospect of a new love interest for the sitcom’s (much smarter than) everyman. (Not to mention thankful for the the fact that the show’s female perspective was about to get slightly more diverse.) But then the series gave us… Priya.
