CES 2026 kicks off on January 6, and tech brands are already starting to preview their upcoming products. LG is one of the first out of the gate, unveiling its "first-ever flagship RGB TV" -- the LG Micro RGB evo. At the core of the new display are micro-RGB LEDs, which the company says utilize "OLED precision to control each of the... backlights," delivering exceptional color accuracy.

"As a distributor with a significant library we want to ensure that our content is as widely monetized on YouTube and Facebook as possible and we are excited to be working with Merzigo on some of our catalogue titles," said Louise Pedersen, CEO of All3Media International.

When "The Golden Girls" premiered in the fall of 1985, it wasn't framed as a cultural corrective or a bold act of television radicalism. It was sold as a sitcom with a clever hook: four older women sharing a house in Miami, consoling each other, helping each other, advising each other, and talking candidly about sex. Oh, and there was plenty of cheesecake.

Whatever happens in Vegas, stays in the wastelands. Fallout fans are set to feast over the long winter with season 2 of the hit series streaming now on Prime Video. Picking up where season 1 left off, the acclaimed adaptation of the video game franchise from Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan sees Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) continue her adventure through the wastelands with "The Ghoul" (Walton Goggins) in search of her father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan).

The new season follows Lucy Albright (Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco (White) as they've rekindled their tumultuous romance in time for spring semester at Baird College. The trailer begins with Lucy speaking to a video camera. "I need to apologize... to everyone. So I am making this tape to say that I am so sorry." Although the pair "promise things will be different this time, past indiscretions hinder their best intentions, and Lucy finds herself embroiled in a controversy she wants nothing to do with."

When Disney announced a TV show all about Cassian Andor from I remember barely caring at all. "Cool, I guess that dude from gets a show, too." Then I watched Season 1 in 2022 and was completely enthralled by its depiction of rebellion and fascism. This year's season two was even better, featuring more moments than I can count that made me sit up in my chair, hold my breath, and wait for the next scene or piece of dialogue

It feels like the top of this list contains programs that will undeniably be remembered when we're discussing the best of the decade or even of their entire era, but it's not extreme to suggest that there was more "good" this year than "great." Although that's not the end of the world. The truth is that almost every streaming service had something to justify its cost with Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple, and more making this list of the best of the best.

On the small screen, 2025 was all about money-the ostentatious peacocking of wealth on shows such as Sirens, And Just Like That, Selling Sunset, and With Love, Meghan; the spiraling production costs of episodes themselves; the politicized wrestling over which megacorporation will take over Warner Bros. Discovery and its TV arms, including HBO. CBS canceled The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, in what seemed to many critics like an obvious sop to the Trump administration, ahead of Paramount's $8 billion merger with the production company Skydance.

Her parents have just cut her off financially after a couple of years of living in New York post-college, and she spends a lot of the rest of the show getting and losing various jobs: a recurring stint at a coffee shop, a gig as a commerce writer at , a teaching spell that creates incredibly inappropriate relationships with both students and fellow staff. But her ultimate aspiration and north star is to be a writer (and not a journalist).

It started out as any of my typical elliptical exercise sessions begin. I had just ended one show and was looking for something to pass the time. I had remembered the pretty shimmery underwater cover image for The Summer I Turned Pretty along with the gentle chime of the introductory music. Having loved young adult author Jenny Han's To All the Boys I've Loved trilogy of films, I was intrigued to immerse myself in another one of her teen romantic dramas.

Sabrina Carpenter joined Seth Meyers' for a special holiday-themed edition of Day Drinking filmed at The Ripple Room in New York City.

Cena put on a heck of a show. He may not have leapt from the top rope with the same spring he did 20 years ago, but his dedication to the sports and entertainment of it all was gripping. Neither his passion nor his appreciation for both the facts and feelings of his final professional tilt waned. It was palpable. So much so that I am, 24 hours later, still mulling its sleeper holds and standing ovations.

At long last, Central Perk Coffee Company has arrived in New York City. More than three decades after "Friends" premiered, an official ode to the sitcom's iconic hangout opened in Manhattan on Dec. 12-complete with its famous orange couch. Created in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, the shop's logo and decor pay homage to the '90s hit that made Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and the late Matthew Perry household names.

I want to say now that me and Alan are 100 percent not doing . We are so flattered to be in that mix. We both are not doing it.

With just two weeks until the start of RuPaul's Drag Race season 18, the host of the reality show's official recap series The Pit Stop has been revealed, and it's a bona fide Drag Race legend. Bianca Del Rio, who won season six back in 2014, will be bringing her rolodex of hate to The Pit Stop once again having previously hosted the popular YouTube series for season 15 and All Stars 8 in 2023.

Fallout finally returns with Season 2, and with it comes an exciting new setting, taking the show from the sunny shores of Los Angeles to the sweltering heat of the Mojave Wasteland. While this setting hails from the beloved classic Fallout: New Vegas, it provides new opportunities to expand on the world of Fallout with an entirely fresh perspective. Even though we're only one episode in, there are plenty of easter eggs and references for eagle-eyed viewers and die hard fans to catch. Here's a look at some of the nods we noticed in the show's introduction to the Mojave Wasteland.

"After reading Jacob [Tierney, the showrunner] 's scripts, even before the book, I immediately saw how he would operate. My dad is on the spectrum, he knows it," said Williams regarding Hollander's autism, which has been separately confirmed by Reid. He explained his dad was "first in class in everything" and a "very technical genius in a lot of ways". But Williams said that socially his dad "would say that he doesn't want to deal with emotions".

The end really began back in May, when Donald Trump signed an executive order intended to cease all federal funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Citing concerns of taxpayer money subsidizing what he called "biased media," Trump's order specifically targeted both NPR and PBS. The order not only meant no more funding for these institutions, but Trump even directed the FCC to investigate both for "potential unlawful discrimination."

The report The VAB looked at audience data spanning 33 broadcast and cable networks and six demographic audiences - specifically, HH (households), P2+ (persons over the age of 2), P18-34, P18-49, P25-54 and P55+ - as captured over a four week period from September 15 through October 12. According to the VAB, the data suggests that between 48% and 58% of total hours during that time had over a 20% audience variance across several key buying demographics.

The latest edition of the school's Hollywood Diversity report, published Tuesday, found that of the top 250 most-viewed current and library scripted series in 2024, more than 91.7% were created by a white person, with white men accounting for 79% of all show creators both increases from last year. Diversity also slipped for performers, with white actors cast in 80% of all roles.

The Micro RGB evo TV will use an upgraded version of LG's Alpha 11 processor, usually reserved for the company's high-end OLED displays like the LG G5. The TV has been certified by Intertek - a testing and certification company - to achieve 100 percent gamut coverage of BT.2020, DCI-P3, and Adobe RGB color gamuts. No details on how bright the TV will get (I expect the brightest highlights to easily eclipse 5,000 nits).
