The Golden Girls Coming to MeTV in March; Adult Swim Announces My Two Cars

Thank you for being a friend! 29 years after the final over-the-air telecast in 1997 (in local broadcast syndication), The Golden Girls -- Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia are making their return to free broadcast television when they join the MeTV lineup of classic and memorable shows. Beginning Monday, March 16, see The Golden Girls every weeknight on MeTV with back-to-back episodes at 10PM ET, as well as Sundays at 6PM ET and again with a two-hour block from 8-10PM ET.

The Golden Girls was a cornerstone of NBC's Saturday night lineup for seven seasons from 1985-1992, scooping up 68 Emmy nominations and 11 wins in the process. Groundbreaking for its time, The Golden Girls tackled subjects rarely addressed in sitcoms before, including aging, mortality, racism, mental health and sexuality, always with warmth, humor and honesty. A rare series with enduring and multi-generational appeal, The Golden Girls celebrated friendship, chosen family and the bonds that can be built at any stage of life. The sitcom celebrated its 40th anniversary last fall.

Adult Swim is revving up its programming slate with My Two Cars, the only show brave enough to explore what happens when a man owns two cars and all the joy and frustration that comes with it. The animated quarter-hour comedy from co-creators Dan Licata (Saturday Night Live) and Joe Pera (Joe Pera Talks With You) follows a man forced to grapple with an absurdly epic daily dilemma: choosing between his two beloved vehicles.

In the series, imagine you are lucky enough to own both a PT Cruiser and a Mini-Cooper. Your day-to-day life would be insane! But also hard hard. Keith A**hole does not have to imagine this, and in each episode he has to make the difficult decision which one to drive. The character of Keith A**hole, an Ohioan navigating the series' central dilemma, is voiced by Licata.

Remembering James Van Der Beek of Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23; The Way Home Returns for Final Season in April on Hallmark

Actor James Van Der Beek, who played a fictionalized version of himself on Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, has died. He died on February 11 in Austin, Texas, after a multi-year battle with colorectal cancer. Mr. Van Der Beek was only 48.

Van Der Beek's first television credit was as Paulie, a boy whom Clarissa (Melissa Joan Hart) attracts as her punk alter-ego Jade, in a 1993 episode of the Nickelodeon sitcom Clarissa Explains It All. He appeared as Stephen Anderson in three episodes of the CBS soap opera As the World Turns in 1995. He guest starred as Ethan in a 1996 episode of the ABC sitcom Aliens in the Family.

He starred as Dawson Leery in the 1998-2003 The WB teen drama Dawson's Creek. The series, which aired for six seasons, is about the lives of a close-knit group of friends in the fictional town of Capeside, Massachusetts, beginning in high school and continuing into college. Dawson Leery is an introspective 15-year-old who aspires to be a filmmaker just like his hero Steven Spielberg. Throughout the series he has romantic relationships with his childhood friend Joey Potter (Katie Holmes) and his neighbor Jen Lindley (Michelle Williams).

Van Der Beek played a fictionalized version of himself on the 2012-2013 ABC sitcom Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 (also known as Apartment 23). Krysten Ritter stars as Chloe, an irresponsible party girl who searches for roommates by asking for rent up front and then behaving outrageously until they leave. He is a close friend of Chloe's who is desperate to revitalize his dwindling acting career. The cast included Dreama Walker, Liza Lapira, Michael Blaiklock, Eric André, and Ray Ford.

He starred as Will Stokes in the short-lived 2014 CBS sitcom Friends with Better Lives. The series follows six people who all think their friends have better lives. Will Stokes is a gynecologist who returns to the bachelor life after learning of his wife's infidelity. The series also starred Majandra Delfino, Zoe Lister-Jones, Brooklyn Decker, Rick Donald, and Kevin Connolly.

Van Der Beek had a recurring role as Simon Tremblay, one of Robin Scherbatsky's (Cobie Smulders) former boyfriends, in three episodes of How I Met Your Mother in 2008 and 2013. In 2017, he guest starred as Bo Johnson in an episode of Modern Family. He appeared as Charlie in two episodes of the Prime Video comedy Overcompensating in 2025.

In 2026, he will posthumously appear as Dean Wilson in the Legally Blonde prequel television series Elle. The Prime Video comedy series explores the high school years of teenage Elle Woods (originally portrayed by Reese Witherspoon), set to be portrayed by newcomer Lexi Minetree. Elle is scheduled to premiere on July 1, 2026.

He had a recurring role as Dr. Joe Briggs, the new Chief of the ICU, in 11 episodes of the NBC medical drama Mercy in 2010. He starred as Senior Field Agent Elijah Mundo in the 2015-2016 CBS police procedural drama CSI: Cyber. In 2018, he starred as Matt Bromley, Stan's (Evan Peters) kingpin boss, in the first season of the FX drama Pose. He voiced Boris Hauntley in the 2017-2021 Disney Junior animated series Vampirina.

Some of his other television guest appearances included Criminal Minds (2 episodes), Ugly Betty, One Tree Hill (4 episodes), Medium, The Forgotten, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Franklin & Bash, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Walker. He hosted Saturday Night Live on January 16, 1999. He was a contestant in the 28th season of Dancing with the Stars in 2019.

He starred as Jonathon "Mox" Moxon in the 1999 coming-of-age sports comedy-drama film Varsity Blues. In 2002, he portrayed Sean Bateman (younger brother of American Psycho protagonist Patrick Bateman) in Roger Avary's film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's The Rules of Attraction. Some of his other film credits included Angus (1995), Texas Rangers (2001), Formosa Betrayed (2009), Labor Day (2013), and Bad Hair (2020).

Mr. Van Der Beek was a talented and versatile actor. He was funny and memorable playing a fictionalizd version of himself on Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23. He had great comedic timing and was a scene stealer. We thank him for the laughs and entertainment that he brought us during his career. He will be greatly missed.

We also remember actor Charles C. Stevenson Jr., who played the bartender Smitty on Will & Grace. He died on January 19 of natural causes in Camarillo, California. Mr. Stevenson Jr. was 95.

Stevenson Jr. had a recurring role as Smitty in 12 episodes of the NBC sitcom Will & Grace from 2002 to 2006 and the revival from 2017 to 2020. Smitty is a bartender who regularly serves Karen (Megan Mullally) at different establishments.

Some of his other sitcom appearances included Cheers, Dream On, Designing Women, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, The Jackie Thomas Show (3 episodes), Empty Nest, Hope & Gloria, Women of the House, The John Larroquette Show, Sister, Sister (1996), NewsRadio, Family Matters, Ellen, 3rd Rock from the Sun, For Your Love, The Jamie Foxx Show, Malibu, CA (1999), Everybody Loves Raymond, Boy Meets World, Spin City, Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place, Suddenly Susan (2 episodes), The Drew Carey Show (2 episodes), Scrubs, Less Than Perfect, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Rodney, My Wife and Kids, According to Jim, Out of Practice, Curb Your Enthusiasm, My Name Is Earl, Samantha Who?, The Office, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, The Middle (2 episodes), Instant Mom, Dads, and Bad Judge.

Mr. Stevenson Jr. appeared in more than 100 television series and films over his decades-long career. He was cast as reverends or ministers on screen so often that it prompted him to describe his job as mainly "marrying or burying people". We thank him for his work on television and in films. He will be sorely missed.

Fans of Hallmark Channel's critically acclaimed, hit series The Way Home get to jump back into the pond for more twists and turns of the Landry family's journey continues. The fourth and final season premieres on the network Sunday, April 19 (9:00 p.m. ET/PT), streams next day on Hallmark+.

Series stars Andie MacDowell (Maid, Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove), Chyler Leigh (Supergirl, Grey's Anatomy), Evan Willams (Blonde, Versailles), Sadie Laflamme-Snow (The Apprentice) and Spencer MacPherson (School Spirits) all reprise their roles, as do Julia Tomasone (Ghostwriter), Jordan Doww (Ganymede) and Devin Cecchetto (The Parker Andersons/Amelia Parker), who joined the cast last season. With the Landry family's time travels taking them to 1925 in season four comes the introduction of Bianca Melchior (Wicked, Schmigadoon!) as young Fern Landry as well as Hallmark fan favorites Gabriel Hogan (Hannah Swensen Mysteries) as Grayson Goodwin and Dan Jeannotte (All I Need for Christmas, Good Witch) as Port Haven's new Temperance Inspector Cliff Kane.

New journeys and revelations await the Landry family across generations. At the beginning of season four, Alice (Laflamme-Snow) is about to graduate high school, Kat (Leigh) and Elliot (Williams) dream of the next steps for their relationship while Del (MacDowell) realizes she will soon be an empty-nester again. But Del, Kat, Alice and Elliot should know by now that no matter how hard they try to focus on the future, the past is never gone. As more mysteries are unearthed, the Port Haven of the past and the Landry family of generations before might just contain the answers they seek.

Remembering Demond Wilson of Sanford and Son, Catherine O'Hara of Schitt's Creek, Yvonne Lime of Father Knows Best, and TV Director Bruce Bilson

Actor and author Demond Wilson, who starred as Lamont Sanford in Sanford and Son, has died. He died of complications from cancer at his home in Palm Springs, California, on January 30. He had been suffering from prostate cancer. Mr. Wilson was 79.

Wilson was featured in several Broadway and off-Broadway stage productions before moving to Hollywood. His first credited role on television was as Horace, a burglar, with Cleavon Little as Coke in the 1971 episode of All in the Family titled "Edith Writes a Song". He played Simmons in a 1971 episode of Mission: Impossible.

Wilson starred as Lamont Sanford in the 1972-1977 NBC sitcom Sanford and Son. The series follows Fred G. Sanford (Redd Foxx), known for his bigotry and cantankerousness, and Lamont Sanford, his long-suffering, conscientious, peacemaker son. It was a hit through its six-season run, finishing in the Nielsen top ten five times. Recurring cast members included Slappy White (1972), Don Bexley, Noam Pitlik (1972), Hal Williams (1972-1976), Beah Richards (1972), Gregory Sierra (1972-1975), Nathaniel Taylor, LaWanda Page (1973-1977), Whitman Mayo (1973-1977), Lynn Hamilton, Howard Platt (1972-1976), Pat Morita (1974-1975), Marlene Clark (1976-1977), Raymond Allen (1976-1977), and Edward Crawford (1976-1977).

He discovers he was declared legally dead and must compete with his wife's new fiancé and interfering mother-in-law. The cast included Denise Nicholas, Helen Martin, Kim Fields, Tony Holmes, and Ed Hall.

Wilson starred as Oscar Madison in short-lived 1982-1983 ABC sitcom The New Odd Couple. It was an updated version of the 1970-1975 ABC sitcom The Odd Couple. In this series, Felix Unger (Ron Glass) and Oscar Madison were both African-American college buddies who met in the 1950s. The characterizations were still the same, as Felix was a prissy neatfreak and Oscar was a fun-loving and sloppy character. The cast included John Schuck, Bart Braverman, Jo Marie Payton, Liz Torres, Sheila Anderson, Ronalda Douglas, Telma Hopkins, Christopher Joy, and Marvin Braverman.

He guest starred in two episodes of The Love Boat in 1979 and 1981. He had a recurring role as Kenneth Miles, Lynn Searcy's (Persia White) biological father, in four episodes of the UPN sitcom Girlfriends from 2004 to 2005.

Wilson guest starred in a 1981 episode of Today's F.B.I. on ABC. He starred as Agent Ed Schamper in the 1983 comedy-drama film Me and the Kid. Some of his other film credits included The Organization (1971), Dealing: Or the Berkeley-to-Boston Forty-Brick Lost-Bag Blues (1972), Full Moon High (1981), and Hammerlock (2000).

He served in the United States Army from 1966 to 1968 and was in the 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam, where he was wounded.

His memoir Second Banana: The Bittersweet Memoirs of the Sanford & Son Years was released on August 31, 2009.
