We're screaming and waving our arms all wiggly, Kermit-style. Disney is bringing back The Muppet Showin its OG variety-show format [ Kermit: Yay!]. For one stand-alone special [ Kermit: makes angry-fist face]. We're getting exactly one of something we want infinitely repeated, sometime in 2026. The Muppets made the announcement on social media, showing the new backstage set and Kermit's mug.

With an IQ of 160 giving her high intellectual potential (Mensa typically requires a score of about 130) Morgan's ability to unravel mind-bendingly complicated sequences of events is downright astonishing. Yet there's something a little different about this particular clever-clogs crimestopper. Ever since an antisocial drug addict by the name of Sherlock Holmes set the genius detective tone, such characters have usually had a few issues.

While a variety of models are on sale, I want to focus on the two that have found their way into a few of our favorite television roundups. First up is the TCL QM6K (8/10, WIRED Recommends), a screen that impressed us with its excellent balance, screen uniformity, and color reproduction across the entire panel. It has great off-angle viewing too, if you've got a big or oddly shaped TV room, and has great quality-of-life features, like a dedicated eARC HDMI port for your soundbar.

Follow along if you know this one: "In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories." And if you ended the last part with "Dun Dun," then clearly, we are on the same wavelength.

In Mare of Easttown, the previous Delaware County-set series that Brad Ingelsby made for HBO, solving crimes was women's work: Kate Winslet's blowsy, grimacing turn as a detective in a Philly exurb was thrilling to watch not just for her flattened vowels and bone-deep sighs but for her character's authority. Looking more exhausted than any TV character in recent memory, Mare investigated murders, raised her grandson, and presided over her community with questionable ethics but unfailing care.

Six blood-soaked regular seasons, one Resurrection special and an All Stars-esque Titans later, and The Boulet Brothers are ready to say "Hello, Uglies" - again. Hosted by Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet, the cast of Titans sees drag performers return for another go at swiping the crown, title of 'Ultimate Titan of Dragula ', unlimited bragging rights and a hefty cash prize of $100,000. But whereas on Drag Race, queens get to the top with splits, smiles and charm, Dragula is a hell of a lot more blood-soaked.

What do the laws of time and space and basic economics mean, anyway, in the face of infinite love? If there are infinite worlds, every version of Belly chooses Conrad in every single one of them. If Conrad met Belly tonight for the first time, he would still love her. It has been the summer Belly turned pretty for more than half a decade at this point,

Like landlines, Polaroid cameras and Lisa Frank designs, yet another 1980s item seems to be making a comeback: metal braces. TODAY anchors Craig Melvin, Al Roker, Sheinelle Jones and Dylan Dreyer discussed their own history with braces as well as the transformation of braces from geek to chic. "Back in the '80s and the '90s, Anthony Michael Hall had braces, right?" began Sheinelle on the Sep. 17 show. "And it almost signified teen awkwardness, almost like a prop. But now people are proud of them."

So no one told you life was gonna be this way, but if you've ever wanted to hang out at Central Perk the famous fictional coffeehouse on the classic sitcom Friends you're in luck. A real Central Perk Coffeehouse is opening in Times Square this fall to welcome New Yorkers, tourists, and TV fans to step into the real-life version of the Friends characters' favorite hangout.

After Conrad took a surprise trip to Paris for Belly's birthday, the pair spent the day exploring the sights. While things were a bit awkward between them at first, the erstwhile couple warmed up during a dinner with Belly's friends. She then brought him home, where they shared a passionate encounter set to Taylor Swift's "Dress." The #Bonrad afterglow was short-lived, though, as Belly urged Conrad to leave and catch the earliest train to his work trip in Brussels.

"You have to rip the spine out of the source material," he said. "Keep the brain and the heart, entertain the soul, and do your best to actually build it into something that works."

I just have so much fun with him, except sometimes my daughter-in-law Tara, she gets a little annoyed with me,

We introduce to you Mr. And Mrs. Perry 🥂!!

My heart swells with happiness for you two. We love you both so much. May God bless all the days of your lives together ❤️❤️❤️.

exposing the cracks and toxicity behind the scenes. Last year, Baby Reindeer, a Netflix show about a bartender being stalked by a customer, elucidated something that civilians (those outside the industry, in bartender speak ) don't always understand. It showed, plainly, that "bartending is an office that makes its holder a captive audience in a way that few other jobs do," Rosie Schaap wrote for Punch .

Two months after moving to London, I received the offer I had always dreamed about: I would work in news publicity at the BBC. I couldn't believe my fortune. It was one of those "pinch me" moments that made all the sacrifices, visa paperwork, and career risks feel worth it. I had grown up watching the network from across the globe and imagined what it would be like to walk the halls of such a prestigious institution.

Severance almost defies categorization: it's got juicy drama, awkward workplace comedy, and elements of existential horror, all wrapped up in a heady sci-fi premise. At the end of the day, though, it's largely a platform for some of the greatest performances of the era - and at Sunday night's Emmy Awards, one of those performances won big, all while making history.

The announcement immediately reignited discussion among the show's passionate audience. Euphoria is more than just a television series - it has become a touchstone for Gen Z, celebrated for its unflinching portrayal of addiction, identity, and adolescence, as well as its groundbreaking cinematography and fashion-forward styling. Its return promises to once again dominate social media conversations, spawn think pieces, and set the tone for television storytelling in 2026.
