Sam Shepard: Playwright at Center Stage (Appreciation)
13 minutes ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »

Part of what makes Sam Shepard’s career so fascinating was his apparent ease on both sides of the camera. We’ve had other playwrights become actors — Tracy Letts is probably film and TV’s current leading light in that category — but Shepard wasn’t merely a strong character actor; he was sexy and charismatic in a way that made him a pin-up for people who read the New York Review. »

58 minutes ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Cartoon Network will debut the new animated series “Ok K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes” on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Et/Pt, and it’s a show unlike any other for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the console game designed alongside the series that will launch sometime this fall.
The story revolves around K.O., a young wannabe hero who lives in a world populated by superheroes who fight robots from a nefarious factory called Boxmore.
The half-hour series, which will air at 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday following its hourlong premiere, is different from just about any animated show in many ways, particularly with regard to the game. Games usually come after a series has been well established, bringing with it a guaranteed fan base, but Cartoon Network wanted to change that dynamic.
