The Immortal Kevin Fitzpatrick was born and raised in New York City, and that doesn't make sense. Kevin wears many hats, including actor, editor, and writer, but never yellow. The best things in life are Back to the Future, beets, Firefly and The Venture Bros. When not picking apart the minutia of pop culture in film and TV, Kevin can usually be found RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

Jimmy Kimmel Reveals Matt Damon Oscar Bit Cut by Best Picture Debacle
We’ve likely not finished the fallout of Sunday’s big Oscar snafu, though few would place any blame at the feet of host Jimmy Kimmel, who wandered out to bring some humor to the La La Land error.

‘Making a Murderer’ Already Editing Season 2 Episodes
The ten-year development of Netflix’s Making a Murderer left it all-but-impossible to envision what format a second season would take, especially as new headlines from the case continually alter the narrative.

‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Season 9 Production Teaser: Leon’s Back, Baby!
It was J.B. Smoove who first telegraphed that Curb Your Enthusiasm might be coming back for real, so it’s only fitting the first informal production promo would give Leon the spotlight. Larry’s best foil is back (if not Larry himself), as Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 9 officially starts production.

‘Game of Thrones’ Officially Renewed for Season 7
It’s been some time since we learned that Game of Thrones was likely to earn a seventh and eighth season renewal, which in recent weeks turned to reports of just 13 episodes between, but we’ve at least gotten an update. HBO has officially renewed the fantasy smash for Season 7 at least, without offering much further detail.
CW ‘The Notebook’ Remake Will Have to Write You Every Day For Another Year
The CW renewing just about every one of its series for additional seasons didn’t bode particularly well for any developing shows, and so it seems that an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ The Notebook will be left dangling on the Ferris wheel. The CW will hang onto the series for now, redeveloping it for next year.
