The West Wing, Happy Days, Saturday Night Live, Reba and Schitt’s Creek were among the popular series to reunite their casts at the 2024 Emmys.
With NBC’s The West Wing celebrating the 25th anniversary of its series premiere on Sept. 22, 1999, the show’s stars Martin Sheen, Dulé Hill, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff and Allison Janney took the stage in front of a replica of its Oval Office set. Aaron Sorkin created the program that ran for seven seasons and centered on the administration of President Josiah Bartlet (Sheen).
“It’s hard to believe that just 25 years ago, Aaron and the writers actually had to use their imaginations to create interesting plotlines for The West Wing,” Janney quipped. Schiff added, “Unlike today, where storylines can be plucked right off the news — storylines that writers would have deemed a bit far-fetched, if not utterly ridiculous, 25 years ago.”

The 2024 Emmy Awards were filled with several memorable moments throughout the night on Sunday, from historical wins and powerful speeches to heartfelt cast reunions and political jokes. Some of them included Anna Sawai, Liza Colón-Zayas and Hiroyuki Sanada making history with their wins; Candice Bergen making a catty J.D. Vance joke; and The West Wing, Happy Days and Saturday Night Live casts reuniting onstage. Below, The Hollywood Reporter highlights some of the night’s unforgettable moments.
John Leguizamo Celebrates Diverse Emmy Nominees in Powerful Speech
John Leguizamo is “almost happy and certainly less angry” with the nominees for the 2024 Emmys.

Reba McEntire will be singing on Happy’s Place and revealed she is working on the theme song.
“It’s written, and we’re recording it at the end of this month,” McEntire said at the 2024 Summer Television Critics Association Press Tour about the show’s theme song. Hope you like it.”

McEntire’s musical talents will also be used within the show, as she revealed there’s a stage in the tavern where the series takes place with room for the singer to perform.

Reba McEntire starred in six seasons of her self-titled WB (later the CW) sitcom, Reba — but, for all of the 127 episodes that aired, it’s probably the opening 29 seconds that still clung on the hardest to popular culture.
“I’m a Survivor,” Reba‘s theme and a slightly tweaked version of a track of the same name she also released in 2001, endures on TikTok and Instagram where it is often parodied for its lyrics about “a single mom who works too hard.” So, now that McEntire is returning to TV with a NBC sitcom, might musical lightning strike twice?
“It’s written, and we’re recording it at the end of this month,” McEntire told members of the TV press in a promotional event for her upcoming half-hour, Happy’s Place. “We’ll see if you like it.”
Rejoice, McEntire fans. Barring some real bad focus-grouping, the country star will also...

A week after making its first appearance on the streaming charts, former Showtime drama Your Honor has rocketed to No. 1 overall.
The series starring Bryan Cranston nearly tripled its viewing time on Netflix and Paramount+ in the week of June 3-9, grabbing 1.53 billion minutes (vs. 544 million the week before) and bumping Bridgerton out of the top overall spot. Your Honor had its Netflix premiere on May 31.
Bridgerton, meanwhile, fell by about 42 percent week to week and finished with 806 million minutes of viewing — a figure that’s likely to go up in the next set of rankings, which will include the release of the Netflix show’s final season three episodes. It finished ninth overall and third among original series, behind Eric (926 million minutes of viewing) and Sweet Tooth (874 million).

There were no surprises on Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings for May 27-June 2.
“Bridgerton” stayed on top for the third week in a row with 1.4 billion minutes watched in the second full week of availability for Season 3’s first four episodes, though the total is inclusive of both previous seasons of the show, which certainly continue to deliver strong viewership as evidenced by Netflix and Luminate’s recent charts, which separate viewership by season.
As such, the Top 10 was almost identical to last weeks. Only “Dune: Part Two” fell off of the chart — though it remained in the Top 10 streaming movies at No. 2 — and it was replaced by “Reba,” which didn’t chart last week but did the week before after being added to Netflix. And after the release of its fourth season’s second episode, “Evil” was the only streaming original besides “Bridgerton” — though it was boosted by the...

The rule of Bridgerton — and Shonda Rhimes — on the streaming charts continued into the first two days of June.
Bridgerton declined about 37 percent in viewing time from a week earlier, but the Regency-era drama still ranked No. 1 overall on Nielsen’s charts for May 27-June 2 with 1.38 billion minutes of watch time on Netflix. The series has claimed the top spot for three straight weeks since its May 16 premiere, with another surge likely coming when results for the second half of the season (which debuted June 13) begin to arrive.
Rhimes’ Shondaland also had two other entries on the charts: Grey’s Anatomy came in third overall with 1.2 billion minutes on Hulu and Netflix. Bridgerton prequel Queen Charlotte also edged back into the top 10 original series list, scoring 274 million minutes of viewing.

The news was revealed by Martin’s daughter Maggie on Instagram. “I am heartbroken to share that my father passed away at home on June 27th, after a valiant fight against a long illness,” Maggie wrote. “He was known for excelling at every creative discipline imaginable and also for doing Red Roof Inn commercials. He would find that joke funny. He was never not funny. My dad will be deeply missed by his wife and daughter, by his friends and coworkers, by fellow artists and comedians and musicians, and—the sign of a truly exceptional person—by many, many dogs. I loved him tremendously.“

Season three of Bridgerton ruled the streaming charts for a second straight week, holding onto most of its premiere week audience and racking up more than 2 billion minutes of viewing.
A pair of sci-fi films, Jennifer Lopez’s Atlas and Dune: Part Two, also had pretty strong showings in the week of May 20-26, and Max’s Hacks and Hulu’s Under the Bridge entered the rankings as they neared the end of their seasons.
Bridgerton had 2.19 billion minutes of viewing for the week, down just 21 percent from 2.76 billion for the previous seven days. The period drama had almost double the viewing time of the second-place show, Grey’s Anatomy (1.1 billion) — which, like Bridgerton, comes from mega-producer Shonda Rhimes’ Shondaland. Kids’ favorite Bluey (1.07 billion minutes) crossed the billion-minute threshold for the 20th time in 21 measured weeks so far this year.

The webs of romance in Bridgerton easily captured the top spot among all streaming titles for the show’s return. Theatrical flop Madame Web, meanwhile, found a promising start to its streaming life.
Bridgerton drew 2.76 billion minutes of viewing time in the United States for the week of May 13-19. The first half of season three premiered on May 16, and Nielsen says those four episodes accounted for 70 percent of the total, or about 1.93 billion minutes — which would still have ranked No. 1 by a wide margin. The remaining 827 million minutes came from the first two seasons.
Madame Web — whose mom was in the Amazon researching spiders right before she died — premiered May 14 on Netflix and racked up 1.16 billion minutes of viewing for the week. That’s equivalent to about 10 million complete showings of the movie, which is part of Sony’s Spider-Man universe and was derided by both critics and audiences...

“Madame Web” was the No. 3 most-watched title of the May 13-19 viewing window, having made its Netflix debut on May 14 after a theatrical run earlier this year. The Dakota Johnson-led superhero flick was watched for 1.7 billion minutes in its first six days of streaming. That put it only 3,000 minutes behind “Grey’s Anatomy,” the week’s No. 2 title. The medical drama is a Nielsen heavyweight that’s begun charting even higher than normal after its addition to Hulu.
Unsurprisingly, “Bridgerton” was the winner of the week, during which the first four episodes of Season 3 were released. In the first four days of availability of Part 1, all seasons of “Bridgerton” were watched for 2.8 billion minutes. 70% of that total was accounted for by Season 3, while the other 30% came from viewers discovering or revisiting Seasons 1 and 2.

In recent years, the southern songstress appeared in a leading role in the Big Sky series.
This fall, Reba returns with Melissa Peterman and up-and-coming actress Belissa Edwards. Here's everything we know so far about Happy's Place!

Netflix’s live roast of NFL great Tom Brady made it into the Nielsen streaming rankings for its premiere, despite only being available for a few hours of that week. After its first full week on the streamer, it rocketed to the top of the charts.
The Roast of Tom Brady gathered 1.67 billion minutes of viewing for the week of May 6-12, leading all streaming titles by a wide margin (the second-place finisher, Grey’s Anatomy, had 1.11 billion minutes of watch time for the week). The roast also had by far the biggest weekly viewing tally ever for a Netflix special; the previous high was 798 million minutes for Chris Rock’s stand-up special Selective Outrage in March 2023.
The 1.67 billion minutes of viewing for the roast in the United States translates to about 27.87 million hours, or about two thirds of Netflix’s reported worldwide total (42.2 million hours) for the special that week.

Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman are officially back together in the first trailer for their upcoming NBC sitcom Happy’s Place, which was handed a series order earlier this month. The new sitcom reunites McEntire and Peterman more than 17 years after both starred together in Reba, which aired its final episode on The CW in 2007. In that show, McEntire starred as Reba Hart, a single mom whose husband leaves her for his dental hygienist, Barbra Jean, played by Peterman.

NBC has given a series order to “Happy’s Place,” the Reba McEntire-led pilot the network ordered in January, and greenlit “Lopez vs. Lopez” for Season 3. The multi-cam comedy will debut during the 2024-2024 broadcast season.
“Happy’s Place” follows Bobbie (Reba McEntire), who inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in the half-sister (Belissa Escobedo) she never knew she had. The cast also includes Melissa Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk and Rex Linn. Universal Television is the studio.
With Kevin Abbott writing the series and executive producing alongside Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis, Julie Abbott and McEntire, “Happy’s Place” reunites the team who produced “Reba” for six seasons from 2001 to 2007.

Reba McEntire is primed to headline a sitcom for the first time in more than a decade with a new NBC pilot, a project that reunites her with producers, writers, and at least one star of her 2000s WB series Reba. The pilot — which McEntire says is titled Happy’s Place — stars the singer as a tavern proprietor named Bobbie. “My dad was the owner, and I’ve been running it for the last ten years, and my dad dies,” she explains to Entertainment Tonight. “So I find out some information at the reading of his will that I’m not too happy with, so…” That information is that she has a half-sister, played by Belissa Escobedo (Blue Beetle), who’s joining the tavern team as her new business partner. Reba costar Melissa Peterman, meanwhile, will play Gabby, a clingy bartender who wishes she could be Bobbie’s sister, according to Deadline.

There was no need to worry that Reba McEntire might mess up or bring any unnecessary flourishes to “The Star-Spangled Banner” when she performed the National Anthem prior to the Super Bowl on Sunday evening. Unlike anyone else who’d done it prior to the Bowl or any other major NFL game in recent memory, she brought a full half-century’s experience of singing the anthem to the occasion.
The year 2024 marks a special anniversary for the country superstar and her association with the song: She is often said to have been “discovered” 50 years ago when she sang it at the 1974 National Finals Rodeo in her home state of Oklahoma, when she was just 19.
McEntire’s latest rendition of the anthem was more fully orchestrated than some other recent versions — or even her own past readings — have been, with a pre-recorded horn section sending the song toward a big climax.

For four days only, Phish will be performing at the Sphere in Las Vegas this year.
This is the first time Phish performs for their fans at the Sphere and what makes these four shows even more special is that each show will have a different setlist and visuals.
Though they will only be in Las Vegas for a limited time, later this summer, the 80s rock band will be in Delaware for Mondegreen, another four-day set of concerts.
Hailing from Burlington, Vermont, Phish banded together in 1983. Guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, drummer Jon Fishman and keyboardist Page McConnell make up the Grammy-nominated band.
The band’s popularity rose in the mid-90s but suffered two disbandments in the early 2000s. However, in 2008, the band reconciled and has been performing together ever since.

Hailing from Burlington, Vermont, Phish banded together in 1983. Guitarist Trey Anastasio, bassist Mike Gordon, drummer Jon Fishman and keyboardist Page McConnell make up the Grammy-nominated band.
The band’s popularity rose in the mid-90s but suffered two disbandments in the early 2000s. However, in 2008, the band reconciled and has been performing together ever since.

Netflix’s library of licensed content is growing. Following the massive streaming success of Suits last summer, Netflix is once again expanding its library of shows that originally aired elsewhere. (Suits aired on USA from 2011 to 2019.)
In addition to new seasons of popular original series such as Bridgerton and Love Is Blind, which are on the horizon in 2024, the streamer is also adding more episodes of beloved older shows, including This Is Us, White Collar, Lost, and How I Met Your Mother.
‘This Is Us’ and ‘Black Sails’ will stream on Netflix in January 2024 Toby Stephens and Luke Arnold in ‘Black Sails’ | Starz
Netflix is ringing in the new year by adding new shows to its streaming library. The new arrivals in January 2024 include Black Sails, a historical drama about pirates that originally aired on Starz from 2014–17 and which should appeal to fans of gritty period shows like Vikings and The Last Kingdom.

Disney will get some much-needed cash from a licensing deal that will send more titles to Netflix, which conversely has no interest in licensing out its own shows.
It feels as if making the initial payment for Comcast’s 33% stake in Hulu has jumpstarted things at Disney. Not only has the company launched the public beta test for a one-app experience bringing Hulu content onto Disney+, but it has agreed to a licensing deal that will allow it to share streaming rights for “Grey's Anatomy” with Netflix starting in March of 2024.
Disney has agreed to a new licensing deal that will send 14 shows to Netflix non-exclusively. Netflix has indicated that while it will continue to bring shows from other studios to its service, it has no plans to license its shows to outside platforms. The two disparate strategies show just how far apart Disney and Netflix are, despite being ranked...

Late last night, social media users discovered something disturbing on Max‘s servers, or more accurately: discovered the absence of something on Max’s servers that disturbed them.
HBO‘s hallmark 2019 miniseries Watchmen was missing. For roughly an hour, various accounts on Twitter posted screenshots of searches for “Watchmen” that yielded nothing but Zack Snyder’s 2009 film adaptation and a motion comic version of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon’s seminal graphic novel from the 1980s.
Tick tock. Time to change the Twitter bio @watchmen. Apparently HBO Max wiped the Watchmen show from the platform today. Absolutely embarrassing. Get fucked Max. pic.twitter.com/AvFNdmrArR

For most onlookers, there was never a question of whether Watchmen had deliberately booted from Max or not. Of course it had. Despite the series being an enormous success for Warner Bros. Discovery’s pay cable network HBO and also being based on another Wbd-owned legendary comic,...

Can Netflix do for a show like “Reba” or “The Resident” what it did for “Suits?” That’s what we’ll find out next year when Disney begins licensing series to Netflix as part of a non-exclusive arrangement stretching through 2025.
Disney Entertainment and Netflix are in the works on finalizing a licensing agreement that will bring 14 different series from ABC, Fox, FX, and even ESPN to the streamer across 18 months, an individual with knowledge told IndieWire. At the time of this writing, the deal was not signed. Among the titles that will eventually make it are shows like “The Wonder Years,” “This Is Us,” “30 for 30,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “Lost,” “Archer,” “Prison Break,” “Home Improvement,” and more.
“The Hughleys,” D.L. Hughley’s sitcom that began in 1998 and ran for four years, will hit streaming for the first time on any platform. And Netflix and Disney are also...

Disney is bringing all past seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy” to Hulu — while they will remain on Netflix — coinciding with the official launch of Hulu on Disney+ in March 2024.
Starting in the spring 2024, Hulu and Netflix will share the co-exclusive U.S. streaming rights to all prior 19 seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy” as part of a new licensing deal between Disney Entertainment and Netflix. Only Hulu will have the complete series as new in-season episodes from the upcoming Season 20 of the hit show will be available to stream (after they air on ABC) along with the 19 previous seasons. “Grey’s Anatomy,” the longest-running medical drama on primetime TV, is created by Shonda Rhimes and produced by ABC Signature, a part of Disney Television Studios, and Shondaland.
The “Grey’s Anatomy” expansion on Hulu is part of a proposed short-term U.S. content agreement under which Disney Entertainment will license 14 library series to Netflix on a nonexclusive basis.
