Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers from “Tunnel Vision,” the series finale of “CSI: Vegas,” which aired on May 19, and is now streaming on Paramount+.
“Things are about to go kaboom.” That’s what Beau (Lex Medlin) says on Sunday night’s series finale of “CSI: Vegas” as he prepares to detonate a series of bombs. But he might be describing everyone’s minds, as the show’s characters discover midway through the episode (“Tunnel Vision”) that they’ve been chasing the wrong villain all season.
With Max (Paula Newsome) kidnapped and Chris (Jay Lee) injured by some sort of nerve agent and in the hospital, the “CSI” team continues to place the blame on tech billionaire Truman Thomas (Owain Yeoman) — until they find his dead body.
It’s actually an entirely different villainous group that has taken Max through the 600 miles of flood channels that lie beneath Las Vegas.

Young Sheldon boss Steve Holland would like to use this opportunity to address the fate of Paige Swanson (and debunk all of your tragic theories about her absence in The Big Bang Theory).
Mckenna Grace’s character, a fellow child prodigy, was introduced early in Season 2 of the prequel series and served as Sheldon’s chief rival at East Texas Tech. Aside from Tam, who crossed over to Big Bang, she was the closest thing that Sheldon had to a friend, and remained an acquaintance for many years, eventually befriending Sheldon’s twin sister Missy.

While Pat Sajak is retiring from Wheel of Fortune next month, Drew Carey has no intention of giving up his The Price Is Right hosting duties any time soon, if ever! Carey took over the The Price is Right in 2007 following the retirement of legendary host Bob Barker, who passed away at the age of 99 last August after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Hosting an awards show is often considered a thankless job. You’re asked to walk out alone, in front of a room full of celebrities and millions of people watching at home, and immediately entertain each and every one of them. If you do, you’re often still forgotten in favor of the night’s winners, surprises, and speeches. If you don’t, then God help you. And right now, God may be the only one ready to listen to more from Jo Koy.

NCIS fans can’t wait to hear more about season 21 — though, of course, they miss Mark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Harmon left the series in season 19. There have been various reasons for his departure, and he opened up about his choice in late 2023. Here’s what he said about feeling “tired” after the show.
Mark Harmon said he was ‘just tired’ after finishing his tenure with ‘NCIS’
Mark Harmon stood firm with NCIS since its premiere in 2003. The show creators weren’t sure they could get Harmon on board at first, so they made alternative plans if he didn’t accept their offer. Thankfully, Harmon was ready to join the team as Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. He made a tremendous impact on the military police procedural.
So, why did Harmon call it quits on the show? At the time, he hoped to focus on other creative endeavors and his family.

Berry decided to experiment with television for a while when she was cast in the sci-fi series Extant. The program was about a woman who returns home to her family after spending a year in space.

When it comes to soaps, mystery and intrigue are what keep fans coming back for more each day, whether it’s General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless, or The Bold and the Beautiful. With histories ranging back decades — General Hospital debuted as far back as 1963! — there’s a lot to uncover, remember, and question about current storylines on the soaps. Whether it’s a kidnapping plot or a long-hidden identity on the brink of being revealed, the shows and genre never disappoint. (Credit: Sonja Flemming/CBS ©2022 CBS Broadcasting) Still, it can be tough waiting around for questions to be answered during the weeks-long and sometimes even months-long story arcs.

NCIS has been on the air since 2003. In 2023, the directors, executive producers, and creators got together to discuss the long-lasting police procedural television series that fans know and love — and the truth about their personalities came out. One director said that co-creator Don Bellisario was so “volatile” that he almost didn’t work with him in NCIS.
Director James Whitmore said he initially refused to work with co-creator Don Bellisario on ‘NCIS’
NCIS executive producers and directors have a lot of opinions about co-creator Don Bellisario. Bellisario shaped the show into what it is today, and he was able to make tough decisions to create a riveting series with memorable characters. While the show couldn’t exist without Bellisario, he was known for being notoriously hard to work with. Director James Whitmore told The Hollywood Reporter that Bellisario’s “volatile” personality nearly made him not want to work on NCIS.

Because The Big Bang Theory was about a group of scientists, their educational backgrounds and college choices came up often. Over the show’s lengthy run, fans learned the alma maters of each key member of the friend group, including the ones who joined as the series progressed. While Sheldon Cooper is considered a genius, he might not have the most prestigious education. Do you know where everyone from The Big Bang Theory went to college?
Sheldon Cooper and Bernadette Rostenkowski were both California-educated
Sheldon Cooper is a genius. No one is arguing that point, but he didn’t attend the most prestigious college in the world. He did, however, graduate from an elite program. Sheldon actually attended and graduated from CalTech, the very college he worked at throughout The Big Bang Theory.
