It’s Too Late For Cobra Kai’s Most Popular Fan Theory To Become True

Marcelo Leite — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 00:50:17 GMT

The most popular Cobra Kai fan wish should have been incorporated into the show sooner, and it may not work now that the show is about to end. While it makes sense for Cobra Kai season 6 to be the show’s final, there are still a few characters and storylines that could have used one or two more seasons. For example, despite the number of cameos and returns in the show, there are yet some important Karate Kid characters who should have made a comeback.

Full House's Tanner Family Tree Explained

Ana Dumaraog — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 00:45:17 GMT

The Tanner family from Full House extends beyond Danny and his three daughters. Debuting in the late '80s and running until 1994, the ABC sitcom was never a critical darling, but it quickly built a following thanks to its realistic depiction of the highs and lows of parenting. Full House didn't feature a traditional family, however. Full House's iconic Tanner family home was inhabited by an odd mix of parental figures and kids. It celebrated all kinds of family make-up that it's easy to confuse which characters were actually related by blood.

10 Reasons Cheers Will Always Be Better Than Frasier

Ana Dumaraog — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 00:40:15 GMT

Frasier may have more Emmy wins, but Cheers will always be better for several reasons. The ensemble sitcom based in Boston debuted in 1982 and ran for 11 brilliant seasons. Cheers' premise is rather simple — it's about a group of people who frequent a bar in Boston every night. However, its success lies in its simplicity and brilliant ensemble. Admittedly, following up Cheers' footsteps was almost impossible, but NBC took the risk anyway by greenlighting Frasier.

Better Call Saul Proved How Lucky Walter White Was (& Made Gus Even Scarier)

Amanda Mullen — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 00:00:19 GMT

Better Call Saul succeeds as a prequel because it offers a new perspective on Breaking Bad, and the spinoff series shows just how lucky Walter White (Bryan Cranston) is in the original show — and makes Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) an even more terrifying villain. Saul Goodman's (Bob Odenkirk) spinoff takes place in two timelines: before and after Breaking Bad. It provides a framework that adds depth to the initial story, shining a new light on it using Breaking Bad's supporting cast.

The Office: All The Clues Toby Was The Scranton Strangler

Kara Hedash — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 23:00:21 GMT

There is ample evidence suggesting Toby (Paul Lieberstein) was the Scranton Strangler in The Office. Toby (Paul Lieberstein) was often portrayed as one of the more harmless employees at Dunder Mifflin. Despite this, The Office contains a long-running gag in which the Scranton Strangler's crimes connect to him — and many viewers are convinced Toby was the Scranton Strangler. The HR lead has a sad personal life, including a divorce, resulting in his downtrodden personality. He's also a regular target of Michael's verbal abuse. Though Toby embarks on a new life by relocating to Costa Rica, he soon returns. The bottled rage from these setbacks all contribute to Toby being the Scranton Strangler.

Dalton Norman — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 22:00:20 GMT

Netflix has had great success with the series XO, Kitty, but the streamer has been slow to provide details about its confirmed season 2. XO, Kitty comes as a spinoff of the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before franchise and sees Anna Cathcart reprise her role as Katherine "Kitty" Song Covey, who travels to South Korea to embark on a journey to find true love. XO, Kitty was created by Jenny Han, author of the books that the To All the Boys movies are based on, and it's the first Netflix series to be spun off from one of their original movies.

Why Socks Doesn't Talk In Bluey

Amanda Mullen — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 21:30:21 GMT

Bluey follows a family of talking dogs who act more like humans, but one character noticeably doesn't speak much when they're introduced: Socks Heeler. Socks is Bluey and Bingo's youngest cousin, and she appears in a number of episodes throughout the children's show's three seasons. Unlike the rest of Bluey's characters, Socks speaks in a jumble of dog noises and toddler gibberish. She also walks like a dog in season 1, something that's immediately noticeable when she first appears in Bluey episode 7, "BBQ."

Netflix Could Have Solved Its Biggest Yu Yu Hakusho Problem With A Live-Action Movie Trilogy

Micah Bailey — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 21:05:19 GMT

Netflix's Yu Yu Hakusho's pacing problems prove the five-episode format was not the best way to adapt the manga. Based on the 90s manga series of the same name by Yoshihiro Togashi, Yu Yu Hakusho centers around high school delinquent Yusuke Urameshi's role as a spirit detective in the afterlife after discovering he died saving a little boy's life. Known for its strong themes of change and forgiveness, Yu Yu Hakusho's live-action TV adaptation should have been as successful as Netflix's One Piece. However, the poor pacing of the adaptation's plot results in a show that feels hollow and rushed.

Gilmore Girls Revival: Why Sookie & Dean Are Hardly In A Year In The Life

Amanda Bruce — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 21:00:18 GMT

2016’s Gilmore Girls reboot, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, brought back most of the original cast for the Netflix miniseries, but why did viewers see so little of fan favorites Sookie and Dean? The four-episode Gilmore Girls revival brought back most of the show’s original cast but earned the ire of some fans for altering the characters. Of course, not every actor was able to put in an appearance in the revival, and some had their screen time compromised by promising post-Gilmore Girls career commitments, thus, the Melissa McCarthy Gilmore Girls reboot issue.

The Boys' Next Spinoff Could Determine How Far The Franchise Expands

Kyle McLeod — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 21:00:17 GMT

The Boys universe has already grown massively, but the series' latest spinoff will be crucial in determining how far the franchise expands. The success of Gen V is proof there is plenty of appetite for The Boys' bloody and unique superhero world and another spinoff is on the way. Amazon has already produced two spinoffs with Gen V and The Boys Presents: Diabolical, and now, The Boys: Mexico has been greenlit. The show was confirmed in November and while there have been few updates on The Boys: Mexico since, the series already has some of its creative team lined up.
