I agree: Cancel Culture has gone too far. I don't mean boycotts and shutdowns and shaming or firing people for saying the wrong thing. Though there are certainly places where it's gone too far...

Rotten rich people form a cornerstone of entertaining TV drama, as any fan of Dynasty can attest. To that long and infamous list, we can now add the Cabbotts from The Sounds, a new Canadian mystery drama...

SEASON PREMIERE: This new menu of Netflix’s Chef’s Table is all about barbecue, and, like earlier seasons of this satisfying series, is much more about personality and biography than recipes and ingredients. The first show presented for this new season, on Snow’s BBQ pitmaster Tootsie Tomanetz, nearly brought me to tears – and not just because of the sight, and the imagined aroma, of her using a mop to slather overpopulated racks of brisket and pork ribs in her

DOCUMENTARY MINISERIES PREMIERE: Every Tuesday this month, TCM is presenting what amounts to a film course, teaching both aesthetics and history, dealing specifically with what women directors have accomplished since the birth of cinema. The documentary, by writer and director Mark Cousins, is organized neither chronologically nor biographically – instead, Women Make Film takes the novel approach of breaking the multi-part study, which presents new installments every Tuesday in S

If you play a football game in an empty stadium and no one makes it sound, did those teams ever play at all? The two Los Angeles pro football teams, the Rams and the Chargers, may be about to find out. Last week, the Rams got their first taste of their club’s brand new SoFi Stadium digs, and conducted their first scrimmage there. This week, there are more scrimmages – tougher, more physical ones, with the players wearing full pads – and more players cut as the teams continue to
