‘Archer’ Moving to Fxx for Season 8 and Beyond
9 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
“Archer” is moving to Fxx for its upcoming eighth season this spring. The animated series has been on sister network FX for the past seven seasons.
The move has been in the works for quite some time. Back in 2015, FX Networks announced that “Archer” would be moving to Fxx for Season 7, but those plans were never put into action and the series remained on FX. Now, the company is finally making the shift.
The move to Fxx comes after FX’s John Landgraf said last year that the cabler would be moving “really aggressively” into more animated series and short-form animated series.
“’Archer’ is an awesome addition to the growing slate of original comedies on Fxx, where it will join ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,’ ‘Man Seeking Woman,’ and ‘You’re the Worst,'” said Chuck Saftler, president of program strategy and COO of FX Networks. “Adam Reed, Matt Thompson, and »

“I hard a hard time keeping a straight face the whole time,” Carnie Wilson — the second celeb eliminated during the two-hour debut — tells TVLine. “And I don’t think he’d appreciate it if I told him it was a little comical, because that’s not his intention.

Chris Harrison has hosted 21 seasons of “The Bachelor,” 12 seasons of “The Bachelorette,” three seasons of “Bachelor Pad,” and another three of the spin-off “Bachelor In Paradise,” but the television personality never even tried out for the franchise.
“I never auditioned for this job,” Harrison revealed to Variety during a Facebook Live chat on Tuesday. “I really didn’t. I’m not messing with you. I had a meeting. I had a couple meetings, and that’s it.” With a laugh, he added, “You would think they would care more about this franchise!”

“After more than a dozen years at Fox News I have decided to pursue a new challenge,” she said in a message delivered straight to the camera. “This was a tough decision for me because I love this show, our staff, my crew, my colleagues here at Fox, and you.

‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Review: Razor Sharp Season 12 Premiere is Just the Start of a Bold, Brilliant Year
2 hours ago | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Don’t call it a comeback.
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” hasn’t seen a consistent dip in quality for longer than we can remember, but every season, it feels as though the TV world takes Mac (Rob McElhenney), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Charlie (Charlie Day), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank (Danny DeVito) a little bit for granted. Perhaps because it comes out at the beginning of the year, seven months before the Emmy nominations hit and a good 11 months prior to the “best of the year” lists. Or maybe it’s just because it’s been on so long that people want to believe they know what’s coming. That they “get it.”
Yet the gang is as eager to disprove the notion as they are proud to embrace the purity of their characters’ perturbed nature. Like the goofy baby brother eager to join the big kids table, “Sunny »

How Golden Globes Party Planners Hope to Prevent Shuttlegate Sequel
2 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Last year’s Golden Globes after-parties were most memorable for how hard they were to get into — even for invited guests. Heightened security saw the vast majority of invitees funneled through a shuttle service running from Century City to the Beverly Hilton. That system proved fatally flawed, with some guests waiting as long as three hours to get in, and others abandoning their party plans to head home.
This year, organizers are taking steps to prevent a repeat of the phenomenon that prompted the Twitter hashtag #Shuttlegate.
