Ted Season 2 Trailer Released; Remembering T.K. Carter of Punky Brewster, TV Director Tom Cherones, and Others We Recently Lost
The trailer is out! All episodes of Ted Season 2 premiere Thursday, March 5 only on Peacock. It's 1994, and senior year of high school is underway for Ted the foul-mouthed teddy bear and his best friend, likable but awkward John Bennett. Together they live in a working-class Boston home with John's parents (Matty and Susan) and cousin (Blaire). Matty is a blustering, blue-collar Bostonian who sees himself as the unequivocal boss of the house and doesn't like anyone challenging him, particularly his liberal-minded niece. Susan is kind, selfless, and almost pathologically sweet when it comes to caring for her family. Blaire is an outspoken college student who often finds herself at odds with her more traditional-minded relatives. Starring Seth MacFarlane, Max Burkholder, Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes, Giorgia Whigham. 8 episodes will air.
The hit comedic prequel series to the Ted films finds us in the '90s, and Ted the bear's (Seth MacFarlane) moment of fame has passed. He's now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts with his best friend, 17-year-old John Bennett (Max Burkholder), along with John's parents, Matty and Susan (Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach) and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham). Ted may be a lousy influence on John, but at the end of the day, he's a loyal pal who's always willing to go out on a limb for friendship. Following its January 11, 2024 launch, season one of Ted broke records as Peacock's most-watched original title and was the #1 Original Streaming Comedy in the U.S. for more than two consecutive months (per Nielsen). The series was also a global hit becoming the biggest U.S. comedy launch on Sky in the UK in 15 years.
In addition to the live-action prequel series, Peacock is expanding the Ted universe with the upcoming Ted: The Animated Series (WT), which will pick up where the Ted films left off and will feature Seth MacFarlane, Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Barth, Kyle Mooney, and Liz Richman voicing the roles. Both series are produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, Fuzzy Door, and MRC, the latter of which also produced the original Ted films.
Actor T.K. (Thomas Kent) Carter, who starred as Mike Fulton in Punky Brewster and as Mylo Williams in Good Morning, Miss Bliss, has died. He died at his home in Duarte, California, on January 9. Mr. Carter was 69.
Carter's first starring role on television was as Shabu in the short-lived 1983 ABC sitcom Just Our Luck.

He starred as Mike Fulton in the second season (1985-1986) of the NBC sitcom Punky Brewster. Mike Fulton is a hip fourth grade elementary school teacher.

Fox's Best Medicine Premieres January 2026; Final Season of Bel-Air Trailer
Laughter really is the best medicine! Emmy Award-Nominee Josh Charles, Abigail Spencer, Annie Potts, Josh Segarra and Cree star in the all-new series Best Medicine premiering January 2026 on Fox! The all-new promo was just released.
The series centers on Dr. Martin Best (Emmy Award-nominee Josh Charles, The Good Wife), a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child with his Aunt Sarah (Annie Potts, Young Sheldon). There, he will meet the eclectic townspeople, including the charming schoolteacher Louisa Gavin (Abigail Spencer, Suits), lovable Sheriff Mark Mylow (Josh Segarra, Abbott Elementary) and Martin's inept but endearing assistant, Elaine Denton (Cree, Twinless).
Unfortunately, Martin's blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he's all they've got. Although Martin can expertly address any medical ailment or mystery in this idiosyncratic town, he's really just desperate to be left the hell alone. Instead, he keeps getting dragged right smack into the middle of their personal chaos, feuds and fantasies. What the locals don't know is that Martin's terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in this small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.
The fourth and final season of the hit Peacock series Bel-Air will premiere on Monday, November 24 with three episodes at launch. Trailer and key art have been released.

Together, both boys will help each other through this pivotal time in their lives.

Actress Patricia (Pat) Crowley, who starred as Joan Nash in Please Don't Eat the Daisies, has died. She died of natural causes in Los Angeles on September 14. Ms. Crowley was 91.
Crowley's first sitcom starring role was as Judy Foster in the 1951-1952 ABC Saturday morning version of A Date with Judy. The series follows the trials of a hyperactive bobby-soxer and her harassed parents, Melvin and Dora. Her boyfriend is Oogie Pringle. A primetime version with a mostly different cast ran on ABC from 1952 to 1953. The daytime version also starred Jimmy Sommer, Gene O'Donnell, Anna Lee, and Judson Rees.
She starred as Joan Nash in the 1965-1967 NBC sitcom Please Don't Eat the Daisies. Jim (Mark Miller) and Joan Nash are a married couple who live in an old, turreted house in Ridgemont, New York, with their four rambunctious sons (Kyle, Joel, and identical twins Trevor and Tracy), a very tolerant live-in maid, and an enormous Old English sheepdog named Ladadog. The series ran for two seasons and 58 episodes. The cast included Kim Tyler, Brian Nash, Joe Fithian, Jeff Fithian, Shirley Mitchell, Harry Hickox (1965-1966), King Donovan (1966-1967), Dub Taylor (1965-1966), Ellen Corby, Bill Quinn (1966-1967) and Jean VanderPyl (1966-1967).
Crowley appeared with fellow TV moms Barbara Billingsley (Leave it to Beaver), June Lockhart (Lassie), Isabel Sanford (The Jeffersons) and Alley Mills (The Wonder Years) in a 1995 episode of Roseanne. Some of her other sitcom guest appearances included The Tab Hunter Show (1960), Love, American Style (1969), Happy Days, The Love Boat (3 episodes), Empty Nest, Frasier, Thunder Alley, Friends, and Love Boat: The Next Wave.

She had a recurring role as Emily Fallmont in 9 episodes of the ABC primetime soap opera Dynasty in 1986. In 1989, she had a recurring role as Rebecca Whitmore #1 in the NBC soap opera Generations. She had a recurring role as Mary Scanlon in 251 episodes of the ABC soap opera Port Charles from 1997 to 2001.

(1964).
Crowley's 1970s to 1990s television guest appearances included Marcus Welby, M.D. (1971), Columbo, Police Story (4 episodes), The Streets of San Francisco, Family, Fantasy Island (2 episodes), The Rockford Files, Charlie's Angels (2 episodes), Hawaii Five-O (1980), Matt Houston, Falcon Crest (2 episodes), Hotel, Finder of Lost Loves (1985), Murder, She Wrote (1987), Melrose Place, Beverly Hills, 90210 (3 episodes), and Charmed (1999).

She played Clara Mootz/Sally Carver in the 1953 film Forever Female and Dr. Autumn Claypool in Money from Home (1954). She was awarded the Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer - Female for her performances in the films. She starred as Terry Roberts in Hollywood or Bust (1956), which was the last film Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin appeared in together.
Ms. Crowley was a talented and versatile actress. She was funny and lovely as Joan Nash in Please Don't Eat the Daisies. The series should be available on DVD or streaming. It hasn't aired in syndication for many years. We thank her for the laughs and entertainment that she brought us during her 60-year career. She will be deeply missed.

We also remember Emmy-winnning writer and producer John Masius. He created the 1990 NBC sitcom Ferris Bueller. He died from complications of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) at his home in Los Angeles on September 13. Mr. Masius was 75.
Masius was one of the creators and producers of the 1988-1989 NBC comedy-drama Tattingers, which was briefly revived in the spring of 1989 as the half-hour sitcom Nick & Hillary. He developed and produced the short-lived 1990 NBC sitcom Ferris Bueller. He wrote three episodes of the 1991-1992 CBS sitcom Brooklyn Bridge. He received The Humanitas Prize for his work on the series. He was a creative consultant and wrote an episode of the 1995-1997 NBC sitcom The Single Guy.
He won two writing Emmy Awards for the NBC medical drama St. Elsewhere in 1984 and 1986. Some of his other writing credits included The White Shadow (3 episodes), Dolphin Cove (4 episodes), L.A. Law (4 episodes), The Visitor, and Dead Like Me.
Masius was credited with creating the 1994-2003 CBS drama Touched by an Angel, the 1999-2002 NBC medical Providence, and the 2009-2011 TNT medical drama Hawthorne.
Some of his other producing credits included The White Shadow, St. Elsewhere, Dolphin Cove, L.A. Law, The Visitor, Dead Like Me, and Hawthorne.
Mr. Masius received 14 total Emmy nominations for his work on St. Elsewhere. He earned a number of Writers Guild Awards, Humanitas Prizes, a Peabody Award and a People’s Choice Award. We thank him for his work on television. He will be greatly missed.
Singer and songwriter Bobby Hart was part of the duo Boyce and Hart. They were well known for their songwriting for the Monkees. He died in Los Angeles on September 10. Mr. Hart was 86.
In late 1965, Tommy Boyce and Hart wrote, produced and performed the soundtrack of the pilot for The Monkees, including singing lead vocals (which were later replaced, once the show was cast). The Monkees themselves re-recorded their vocals over Boyce and Hart's when it came time to release the songs, including both "(Theme from) The Monkees" and "Last Train to Clarksville", the latter being a huge hit.
Boyce and Hart performed "Girl, I'm Out To Get You" in the 1967 I Dream of Jeannie episode titled "Jeannie the Hip Hippie." They performed "I'll Blow You a Kiss in the Wind" in the 1970 Bewitched episode titled "Serena Stops the Show." In 1970, they guest starred in The Flying Nun episode titled "When Generations Gap".
They wrote hits for Jay and the Americans ("Come a Little Bit Closer"), Paul Revere & the Raiders ("(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone"), and the Leaves ("Words"). The duo also wrote the theme song of the NBC daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives.
Boyce and Hart wrote more than 300 songs, and sold more than 42 million records as a partnership. We thank them for the music. Mr. Hart will be sorely missed.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM SITCOMSONLINE.COM AND AROUND THE WEB
- The big (and unexpected) news this week was that CBS has chosen to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and will not even be replacing him with a new host, but the bigger story here may be that we're likely in the last few years of broadcast networks having a late night talk show, and Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers may not go beyond the next three years. (Hollywood Reporter)
- While the current dispute involving the streaming rights for South Park continues to play out in the US, Paramount+ (which is supposed to become the new home to the series in the US) has pulled the series from the service internationally. (Hollywood Reporter)
- Gilmore Girls is headed to Hallmark soon, though given Hallmark's track record with series that aren't Golden Girls and Reba, it remains to be seen how long it'll last. (Deadline)
- Now that they'll be airing NBA games, Peacock is raising the price of their subscription almost 40%. (Deadline)
- Alan Bergman, the lyricist behind the theme songs for Good Times, Maude, and Alice, has died at 99. (Hollywood Reporter)
- Antenna TV is set to celebrate the 60th anniversary of I Dream of Jeannie. (SitcomsOnline)
- Catchy Comedy has a "Christmas in July" binge this weekend, featuring Christmas episodes of classic comedies.
- The new seasons of South Park and Digman arrive Wednesday on Comedy Central (maybe, assuming the creators of South Park don't walk out by then).
- ABC has season premieres of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Match Game (with a new host) on Wednesday.
