HBO's Seen & Heard: The History of Black Television; Adult Swim Slates Two Series for October

The HBO Original two-part documentary Seen & Heard: The History of Black Television, from Issa Rae's HOORAE Media and Ark Media, a film by Giselle Bailey; directed and produced by Giselle Bailey (HBO's The Legend of the Underground) and Phil Bertelsen (Who Killed Malcolm X?), debuts Tuesday, September 9 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO, followed by part two airing Wednesday, September 10 at the same time. Both parts will be available to stream on HBO Max beginning Tuesday, September 9 at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Seen & Heard: The History of Black Television takes audiences on a two-part journey through the history of Black representation on television, showcasing how Black artists and creators both shaped and revolutionized the medium while confronting the systemic challenges that have often undermined their contributions. From early stereotypical portrayals to today’s more authentic and complex narratives, the series highlights how Black television makers have not only survived but thrived, despite the industry’s early reluctance to fully recognize their power and creativity.

Through archival footage and interviews with major figures in the television industry and culture shapers, the documentary spotlights the trailblazers who paved the way, exploring complex narratives around race, identity, and cultural legacy. As each generation of Black television actors, writers, and creators built on the work of those before them, each voice became part of a lineage — responding to, reimagining, and reshaping Black storytelling on screen. Black writers and actors speak to their struggle for creative control, moving from token representation to truer, more complex portrayals and authorship. Black television has been, and continues to be, a ground-breaking force in the media, shaping culture, challenging norms, and redefining representation. The documentary also explores the business of Black television, its changing role in the media landscape, and its complex relationship to broader industry success. Seen & Heard: The History of Black Television showcases a reclamation of narrative power, a celebration of the past, and an illumination of a new generation of voices shaping the future of television.

Part One: SEEN Debut date: Tuesday, September 9 (9:00-10:14 p.m. ET/PT) Part One, SEEN, details decades of cultural shifts in television, with prominent Black voices sharing stories of their journeys, inspirations, and insights into their work and the industry. Historically, Black television was shaped by white writers and creators, from Amos 'n' Andy to wildly popular shows including The Jeffersons and Good Times. While Black characters were becoming increasingly visible on screen, their stories were not always written with authenticity or complexity. A rise in shows by Black creators brought social issues including the AIDS crisis, homosexuality, and racial protests to the forefront, and Black television went beyond merely reflecting culture – it began to create it. In Living Color and The Arsenio Hall Show gave an unprecedented national platform to hip-hop and Black comedians, driving discourse and reframing the cultural landscape. Despite a host of shows with Black creators and crews that built audiences and boosted ratings, by the end of the 1990s and into the early 2000s, many popular Black shows were cancelled and a new slate of programming featuring all white casts emerged.

Part Two: HEARD Debut date: Wednesday, September 10 (9:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT) Part Two, HEARD, addresses ownership of the narrative, highlighting the need for opportunity at every level – including showrunners, editors, cinematographers, and writers. The responsibility and power of storytelling is demonstrated in Shonda Rhimes' color-blind casting for her powerhouse shows, Oprah betting on herself and owning her own content and vision, and other stories depicting the breath of the Black experience, such as scenes of the Tulsa massacre from HBO’s Watchmen, that underscored the importance of showing Black history authentically. HEARD also explores the rise of social media, enabling artists to own their own image, propelling creators like Issa Rae to success, and showcases how creators pay it forward. Lena Waithe’s mentorship lab reflects that mission – to open doors for the next generation and ensure that those telling Black stories reflect the full spectrum of the Black experience. With ownership of media companies, newspapers, and intellectual property, Black creators shape perception and policy while honoring the full scope of their history in all its paradoxes and complexities.

The series features a roster of media icons such as Issa Rae, Shonda Rhimes, Tyler Perry, Lena Waithe, Oprah Winfrey, Tracee Ellis Ross, Ava DuVernay, Norman Lear, Swizz Beatz, Debbie Allen, Kenya Barris, Cord Jefferson, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Mara Brock Akil, Byron Allen, Deondray Gossfield, Quincy Gossfield, Terence Nance, Syreeta Singleton, Tamera Mowry-Housley, and more.

Smiling Friends, the fan-favorite series about a company dedicated to lending a helping hand to anyone needing to smile, returns to Adult Swim for its third season on Sunday, October 5 at 11:30pm ET/PT. Also joining the lineup is a new comedy Haha, You Clowns, debuting Sunday, October 19 at 11:45pm ET/PT. New episodes of both quarter-hour adult animated series will be available to stream the following day on HBO Max.

Season Three of Smiling Friends finds Pim, Charlie, Flint and the whole gang going absolutely bonkers once again, diving headfirst into their ultimate quest to spread joy upon the land. We'll see a bunch of unexpected stuff here such as Mr. Frog running full speed at the camera, the team finally collecting all the spirit gems they need, and a totally epic showdown spectacle with an Ancient Witch of some sort. AHHHHH!!!!

Created by Joe Cappa, Haha, You Clowns is an unexpected new series from Adult Swim that celebrates wholesome family programming. Join the Campbell boys, three doting teenagers and their tenderhearted dad, as they live, laugh, love their way into your living rooms. They're big dudes with big feelings who are learning to navigate life in the wake of their mother's death, sensing her presence in everyday adventures.

Doc Season 2 Trailer for Fox; Remembering David Ketchum and Jerry Adler

Dr. Amy Larsen has more than just her patients' lives on her hands on the season 2 premiere of Doc returning Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 9/8c on Fox. Watch/share the official season 2 trailer!

Inspired by a true story and based on the hit eponymous Italian drama series, Doc begins its second season of the life-affirming medical drama following the heartbreak and victories of hard-charging, brilliant physician Dr. Amy Larsen (Emmy nominee Molly Parker, House of Cards) as she rebuilds her life after a car crash erased eight years of her memory. This season, Amy will continue to confront hard truths about her missing years, work to repair fractured relationships and seek to reconcile the person she used to be with the one everyone else has come to know. Also starring Omar Metwally, Felicity Huffman, Amirah Vann, Charlotte Fountain-Jardim, Jon Ecker, and Anya Banerjee.

Actor and television writer David Ketchum, who starred as Spiffy in Camp Runamuck and as Agent 13 in Get Smart, has died. He died of heart failure on August 10 in Thousand Oaks, California. Mr. Ketchum was 97.

Ketchum's first regular role was as Mel Warshaw in 23 episodes of the 1962-1963 ABC sitcom I'm Dickens, He's Fenster. The series starred John Astin and Marty Ingels as Harry Dickens and Arch Fenster, inept Los Angeles carpenters who were friends, and who worked for the Bannister Construction Company. Mel Warshaw and Bob Mulligan (Henry Beckman) were carpenters who provided little help when problems arose on a job site. The cast included Emmaline Henry, Frank DeVol, and Noam Pitlik.

He starred as Senior Counselor Spiffy in the 1965-1966 NBC sitcom Camp Runamuck. The series related the wacky goings-on at the titular boys' summer camp, and at Camp Divine, its girls' counterpart across the lake. Runamuck was run by Commander Wivenhoe (Arch Johnson), a man who couldn't stand kids, and Senior Counselor Spiffy, his assistant of sorts. The cast included Alice Nunn, Dave Madden, Leonard Stone, Nina Wayne, Hermione Baddeley, Mike Wagner, and George Dunn.

Ketchum had a recurring role as Agent 13 in 13 episodes of the NBC sitcom Get Smart from 1966 to 1967. Agent 13 is an agent who is usually stationed inside unlikely, sometimes impossibly small or unlucky places, such as cigarette machines, washing machines, lockers, trash cans, or fire hydrants. Ketchum also co-wrote the third season episode titled "Classification: Dead." He reprised the role in the 1989 ABC TV movie Get Smart, Again! as well as an episode of the 1995 revival of Get Smart on Fox. Get Smart starred Don Adams, Barbara Feldon, and Edward Platt.

He had a recurring role as Joe Kelly, the father of Joey Kelly (Jodie Foster), in three episodes of The Courtship of Eddie's Father from 1969 to 1970. Some of his other sitcom guest appearances included The Jim Backus Show, Angel (2 episodes in 1961), The Real McCoys, The Joey Bishop Show (2 episodes), The Munsters, Hey, Landlord (4 episodes), Good Morning World (2 episodes), The Andy Griffith Show (2 episodes), Accidental Family (2 episodes), Petticoat Junction, Gomer Pyle: USMC, Mayberry R.F.D., That Girl (3 episodes), The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Green Acres (2 episodes), My Three Sons, The Odd Couple (2 episodes), The Partridge Family (1972), Love, American Style (4 episodes), Maude, Happy Days (5 episodes), Alice, Mork & Mindy, and Perfect Strangers.

Some of his other sitcom writing credits included Hey, Landlord (1967), Captain Nice (2 episodes), Here's Lucy (2 episodes), Me and the Chimp (2 episodes), Love, American Style (4 episodes), M*A*S*H, Blansky's Beauties, On Our Own (1977), Who's Watching the Kids? (2 episodes, he also directed 2 episodes), Happy Days (10 episodes), Laverne & Shirley (5 episodes), Too Close for Comfort, Down to Earth, The Love Boat (7 episodes), Perfect Strangers, Sledge Hammer! (4 episodes), and Full House.

Mr. Ketchum was funny and memorable as the unfortunate Agent 13 in Get Smart. He was a familiar face in many sitcoms of the 1960s and 1970s. We thank him for the laughs as an actor and writer. He will be greatly missed.

Actor Jerry Adler, who starred in Hudson Street, Alright Already and Raising Dad, has died. He died at his home in New York City on August 23. Mr. Adler was 96.

Adler had a recurring role as Mr. Wicker, the apartment building superintendent, in nine episodes of the NBC sitcom Mad About You from 1994 to 1999. He first appeared as Sgt. Panino in a 1993 episode. He reprised the role of Mr. Wicker in two episodes of the 2019 Spectrum revival.

He starred as Lt. Al Teischler in the 1995-1996 ABC sitcom Hudson Street. Tony Danza starred as Tony Canetti, a divorced detective in Hoboken, New Jersey, who shares custody of his son Mickey with his ex-wife. Old-timer Al was seen down at the station house. The cast included Lori Loughlin, Frankie J. Galasso, Christine Dunford, Tom Gallop, Jeffrey Anderson-Gunter, and Shareen J. Mitchell.

Adler starred as Al Lerner in the 1997-1998 The WB sitcom Alright Already. Carol Lerner (Carol Leifer) is a single businesswoman who opens an optometry shop in Miami with her best friend and deals with embarrassing situations and her relationship with her family. Al and Miriam Lerner (Mitzi McCall) were her retired, overbearing, perpetually squabbling parents. The series also starred Amy Yasbeck, Stacy Galina, and Maury Sterling.

He starred as Sam Stewart in the 2001-2002 The WB sitcom Raising Dad. Matt Stewart (Bob Saget) is a widower trying to raise his two daughters, Sarah (Kat Dennings) and Emily (Brie Larson), with the help of his live-in father, Sam, a former baseball player for the Boston Red Sox. The cast included Meagan Good, Andy Kindler, Ben Indra, Beau Wirick, Camille Guaty, Tembi Locke, and Riley Smith.

Some of his other sitcom guest appearances included Brooklyn Bridge, True Colors (2 episodes), Spin City, LateLine, The War at Home, 'Til Death (2 episodes), Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Broad City.

Adler was also known for work in television dramas. He had a recurring role as Herman "Hesh" Rabkin, a loan shark and advisor to Tony Soprano, in 28 episodes of the 1999-2007 HBO crime drama The Sopranos. He had a recurring role as Sidney Feinberg, FDNY 75th Battalion Chief, in 34 episodes of the FX comedy drama Rescue Me from 2007 to 2011. He had a recurring role as Howard Lyman in 30 episodes of the CBS legal political drama The Good Wife from 2011 to 2016. He reprised the role in two episodes of The Good Fight in 2017 and 2018. He had a recurring role as Moshe Pfefferman, the father of Maura Pfefferman (Jeffrey Tambor), in nine episodes of the Amazon comedy drama Transparent from 2017 to 2019.

Some of his other television guest appearances included Quantum Leap (1992), New York Undercover, Northern Exposure (3 episodes as Rabbi Alan Schulman), Law & Order, Wonderland, Bull (3 episodes), The West Wing, CSI: Miami, Detroit 1-8-7, Mozart in the Jungle (2 episodes), and Living with Yourself.

Mr. Adler was a talented and versatile actor. He spent decades behind the scenes of storied Broadway productions before pivoting to acting in his early 60s. We thank him for his work on television. He will be sorely missed.

Hulu's Futurama Season 13 Trailer; A Man on the Inside Returns November 20 on Netflix

Hulu has debuted the official trailer and key art for the upcoming season of Futurama. Season 13 lands on Hulu September 15 at 8PM ET with all 10 episodes. New episodes will premiere on FXX September 15 at 8PM with two episodes weekly. Bender is rampaging out of control! A volcano is about to explode! Fry confronts a rival for Leela's love! And Dr. Zoidberg is rising up to heaven?! The excitement might be too much! You've been warned... it's an all new season of Futurama!

Futurama premiered in 1999 and quickly gained a faithful following and critical acclaim, including two primetime Emmys for Outstanding Animated Program. Despite its far-future setting, the show is renowned for its satiric commentary on life in the present. The series follows Philip J. Fry (Billy West), a New York City pizza delivery boy, who accidentally freezes himself in 1999 and gets defrosted in the year 3000. In this astonishing New New York, he befriends hard-drinking robot Bender (John DiMaggio), and falls in love with cyclops Leela (Katey Sagal). The trio find work at the Planet Express Delivery Company, founded by Fry’s doddering descendant, Professor Hubert Farnsworth. Together with accountant Hermes Conrad, assistant Amy Wong, and alien lobster Dr. John Zoidberg, they embark on thrilling adventures that take them to every corner of the universe.

After its initial run on the Fox Broadcasting Network, a roller-coaster of cancellations and resurrections ensued. Four successful direct-to-DVD releases in 2007-2009 led to the show's rebirth on Comedy Central from 2010-2013. Then, after a brief ten-year freeze in the cryogenic chamber, Futurama emerged triumphantly as a streaming series for Hulu with a 20-episode order set to debut in 2023.

A Man on the Inside S2 premieres November 20 on Netflix. Ted Danson is A Man on the Inside and he's returning for an all new case. Here's your first look at Season 2 with new cast additions including Mary Steenburgen, Max Greenfield, Jason Mantzoukas, David Strathairn, Constance Marie and more.

Eager to take on another big undercover case, Charles Nieuwendyk (Ted Danson) gets his chance when a mysterious blackmailer targets Wheeler College president Jack Berenger (Max Greenfield), who enlists Charles to go undercover as a professor. Who's making these threats? Does it have something to do with the iconoclastic billionaire Brad Vinick (Gary Cole), a Wheeler graduate, and his proposed donation to the school? Charles finds no shortage of possible suspects, but his attention gets diverted by free-spirited music teacher Mona (Mary Steenburgen), whose zest for life awakens feelings he thought he'd buried after the passing of his wife. Is he ready to open his heart again at this stage in his life? And more importantly, has he fallen for the very criminal he's been sent to unmask?

Meanwhile, his daughter Emily (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) is inspired by the changes in her father and uncovers a long-ignored passion, while PI Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) embarks on her own journey of growth as she reconnects with an important figure from her past.

From creator Michael Schur, A Man on the Inside is based on the documentary The Mole Agent, a 2021 Oscar(R) nominee for Best Documentary feature. 8 episodes have been ordered starring Ted Danson, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Lilah Richcreek Estrada, Stephanie Beatriz, Gary Cole, Michaela Conlin, Lisa Gilroy, Max Greenfield, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Madison Hu, Sam Huntington, Jason Mantzoukas, Constance Marie, Linda Park, Mary Steenburgen, David Strathairn, Jill Talley.

Welcome Back, Kotter 50th Anniversary Marathon on Rewind TV; Apple TV+ Palm Royale Season 2 Premieres November 12

What's 2025-1975? That's right, the answer is 50! Welcome Back, Kotter turns the big 5-0, so stay after class with 50 episodes with Mr. Kotter and the Sweathogs on Rewind TV! It starts Tuesday, September 9 beginning at 6am ET. Welcome Back, Kotter regularly airs Mon-Fri 11am ET | 8am PT and Sat 11pm ET | 8pm PT on Rewind TV.

It's almost time to step back into the most exclusive club in Palm Beach. Apple TV+ released a first look at season two of Palm Royale, the Emmy Award-nominated comedy series starring and executive produced by Emmy and Academy Award nominee Kristen Wiig and Oscar and Emmy winner Laura Dern. Season one of Palm Royale was led by a renowned ensemble cast including Allison Janney, Ricky Martin, Carol Burnett, Josh Lucas, Leslie Bibb, Amber Chardae Robinson, Mindy Cohn, Julia Duffy and Kaia Gerber. The highly anticipated 10-episode second season of Palm Royale premieres globally on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 with the first episode, followed by one episode weekly until January 14, 2026.

Palm Royale is a true underdog story that follows Maxine Dellacorte (Wiig) as she endeavors to find her footing in the cut throat world of Palm Beach high society. As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have-nots, Palm Royale asks the same question that still baffles us today: “How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to get what someone else has?” Palm Royale is a testament to every outsider fighting for their chance to truly belong.

Nobody Wants This Season 2 Premieres October 23; HGTV and Retta Continue Partnership

Netflix debuted an official first look at the much-anticipated return of the hit comedy series, Nobody Wants This. The second season returns October 23, only on Netflix.

Season 2 Synopsis: First comes love, then comes life. The last time we saw agnostic podcast host Joanne (Kristen Bell) and unconventional (hot) rabbi Noah (Adam Brody), their unmatched chemistry surprised everyone in their lives, including her sister Morgan (Justine Lupe), his brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) and sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn), and even themselves. Their spark proved stronger than all of the obstacles trying to keep them apart. Now, they're back and fully committed to merging their lives - and loved ones - together. But their differences still exist and can't be ignored. The challenge now is not just falling in love against all odds, but staying together in spite of them.

10 episodes will air from creator Erin Foster. Executive Producers: Erin Foster, Steven Levitan, Kristen Bell, Sara Foster, Danielle Stokdyk, Jeff Morton, Bruce Eric Kaplan, Jenni Konner and Nora Silver. Kaplan and Konner serve as showrunners. The series is produced by 20th Television. Cast: Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, Jackie Tohn, Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitchcock, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, Emily Arlook, Sherry Cola, Shiloh Berman. Season 2 Guest Stars: Leighton Meester, Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky, Arian Moayed.

The search for the country's most spine-tingling properties will continue when Retta, star of HGTV's Ugliest House in America, returns for six new episodes of the popular spinoff Scariest House in America on Friday, Sept. 19, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The series, which attracted more than 8.3 million viewers to its freshman season, will follow actress, comedian and home design enthusiast Retta as she travels the U.S. to tour 15 more petrifyingly paranormal or horrifically hideous houses whose owners say are haunted by scary stories and hair-raising sights. This season, the frightening finds will include a former funeral home with a basement morgue, a house situated on a graveyard and a property that resembles a witch's hat - all where spooky shadows lurk, lights flicker and strange noises abound.

In each episode, Retta will share hilariously unfiltered views about each home's scary appearance, un-livability and fright factor. HGTV will ultimately deem one house the "scariest" of them all and award the homeowners a $150,000 renovation by popular network designer Alison Victoria in a one-hour season finale.

As she tries to rebuild her relationship with her daughter Mila and deal with the emotional distance growing between her and Armando, new secrets come to light that will challenge the stability of everything she thought was under control.
