From Firing to Fame: How The Facts of Life Found Its Feet

The Facts of Life, a Diff'rent Strokes spinoff, debuted 47 years ago to negative reviews and poor ratings, prompting NBC to overhaul after Season 1 and fire four original cast members, including a young Molly Ringwald. In Season 2, a new core cast emerged and writers—now including women like Sally Sussman Morina—brought authenticity that helped the show rebound through the 80s. The original series can be streamed on Tubi via The Roku Channel.

Prime Video to air NBA Eastern Conference finals in debut season

Prime Video will broadcast the NBA's Eastern Conference finals this season as part of the league's new 11-year media rights deals, with NBC sharing conference-final duties. The rights will rotate between Prime Video, NBC, and ESPN/ABC (which will handle the other conference final) over the decade-long deal, and each partner is slated to air three Eastern and three Western finals. The exact cadence isn’t fixed for this season, and viewership typically depends on team quality and series length.

Jamie Lee Curtis Fought for a Sitcom, Helping NBC Bring Back Multi-Cam Comedy

Jamie Lee Curtis says she spent years begging her agents to land her a sitcom and helped drive NBC’s return to multi‑camera comedy with Newlyweds, a Gail Lerner–created late‑life romance on which she is an executive producer and star. The show, pairing Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, aims to anchor NBC’s Friday comedy block alongside Happy’s Place, as Curtis argues that multi‑cam provides the laughter, rehearsal, and feel‑good energy she loves—and hopes it signals a broader comeback for the genre beyond single‑camera formats.
