Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

In just six episodes, The Umbrella Academy season four has the unenviable task of wrapping up a Netflix series stuffed with complex characters—and an even more complex storyline involving superpowers, aliens, time travel, altered timelines, and multiple apocalypses. And that’s without even getting into the show’s main theme, which is family drama. So much family drama.

Scientists in Singapore have discovered a new family member of a nightmare fungus. In new research this week, they detail finding a genetically distinct type of Candida auris in several patients of theirs—the sixth such type found to date.

In House of the Dragon season two, Heleana Targaryen (Phia Saban) doesn’t share any scenes with Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith)—until the finale, when she appears in Daemon’s Game of Thrones-referencing vision of the future. Considering the characters’ strongest tie thus far is that Heleana’s son was murdered as a second-choice target by assassins hired by Daemon to kill Heleana’s brother, Aemond (Ewan Mitchell), it was a surprising moment.

The truth is that Android never had the kind of weather app that users wanted to check first. For Google, that’s particularly upsetting because, as the world’s search giant, its weather app should be the only one you turn to for accurate, aggregated data. The situation got desperate back in 2020 when Apple bought Dark Sky and took it behind its walled, fenced-off garden. Now, iPhone users have Android’s once-favorite weather app and a native app with its iconic status.

Warners Bros. Discovery has not been having a great time recently, and is going through a wave of increasingly desperate cost-cutting initiatives because of it. Several of those movements have felt particularly targeted at the studio’s animated offerings, from its inability to release finished films to selling off its current, past, and would-be successes to other streamers. Its latest indignity comes at the cost of Cartoon Network’s online presence.
