Which Long-Running Show Will You Miss Most?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 15 May 2007 07:15:28 PDT

"Gilmore Girls" isn't the only long-running show saying goodbye this season. "The King of Queens" wrapped up nine years on the air on Monday, and "7th Heaven" completed its 11-year run on Sunday. "The O.C." ended after four seasons earlier this year, and NBC isn't bringing "Crossing Jordan" back for a seventh season. So it seems like the right time to ask: Which long-running, now-canceled show will you be missing most come fall?

TV Tonight: "The King of Queens" Finale

BuzzSugar — Mon, 14 May 2007 08:30:55 PDT

I can't say I've ever been a fan of "The King of Queens," but I have to give it a little credit: Any show that can manage to stay on the air for nine years in today's brutal television climate must be doing something right. The CBS comedy is signing off tonight with a one-hour series finale, and with divorce talk and a botched wedding in the plans, it looks like the show will give its fans a worthy final episode. Were you a fan? If so, what will you miss? For a preview of tonight's series finale,

Bill Murray Is Franklin D. Roosevelt in the Hyde Park on Hudson Trailer

Maggie Pehanick — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:37:33 PDT

Bill Murray takes on a presidential role as Franklin D. Roosevelt in the upcoming film, Hyde Park on Hudson. He's joined by Laura Linney, playing his distant cousin (and love interest?) Margaret Stuckley. Based on true events, the film takes place over a weekend in 1939 when the King and Queen of England came to visit the president at his residence in Upstate New York. It may sound stuffy, but you know it can't be a snooze with Murray leading the way.

It's refreshing to see the former Ghostbuster in a period role like this. He gives the wheelchair-bound FDR some spark without making a caricature out of him. I also like the Downton Abbey-esque way some of the story is being shown from the point of view of the maids and servers of the house. I'm not totally convinced I'm into it yet, but with a Dec. 7 release date, you can bet this is prime Oscar bait. Check out the trailer when you

Kate Middleton Dresses Up For Drinks and Lunch With William and Harry

Allie Merriam — Fri, 18 May 2012 13:19:24 PDT

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was the lucky lady hanging out with both her husband, Prince William, and his little brother, Prince Harry, today! The trio attended a reception in London's Waterloo Chamber ahead of a lunch for visiting monarchs at Windsor Castle. Kate Middleton wore a dress from Emilia Wickstead, a pale pink coat-style frock that costs nearly $2,000.

At the meal, Harry, William, Kate, and Queen Elizabeth mingled with kings, queens, and heads of state from 26 countries. William and Harry's cousins, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, were also on hand to chat with dignitaries like Monaco's Prince Albert and Princess Charlene and Jordan's King Abdullah and Queen Rania. There may be protests in England this evening, though, as some aren't thrilled the royals included the King of Bahrain, who's accused of committing human rights abuses during a recent period of unrest in his country. British fare was served to Kate, William, their family, and guests, starting with a poached egg tartlet and then a main of Windsor lamb. This evening, William's father Prince Charles is hosting a dinner reception with his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Game of Thrones "A Man Without Honor": What We're Still Talking About

Shannon Vestal — Mon, 14 May 2012 11:07:13 PDT

There are only three more episodes left in the second season of Game of Thrones, and this week's episode feels like it's ramping up for an intense last few installments. But there's still a lot to talk about from this week, including a particularly nightmarish end scene and some hilarious banter between Jon Snow and his prisoner Ygritte.

The title of the episode, "A Man Without Honor," certainly feels apt, though I'd say there's definitely more than one man who shows his lack of honor this week. I'm ready to break down the big moments of the episode, though, so to see which scenes I can't stop thinking about, just keep reading.

Glee-ful Highlights From Episode "Prom-asaurus"

Becky Kirsch — Wed, 09 May 2012 08:00:30 PDT

It's prom time again on Glee, and this year's festivities contain just as much drama as last year's, plus infinitely more dinosaurs. That's right - Brittany decides to exercise her presidential rights in order to celebrate the peace that apparently once existed between cavemen and dinos. It doesn't make much sense, but it does give Brittany the opportunity to prance around in a Flintstones-esque getup to Ke$ha's "Dinosaur."

It wouldn't be prom without a heated race for king and queen, and the usual suspects have their eyes on the prize: Quinn, Santana, Kurt, and Brittany. Only Quinn uses questionable methods in hopes of winning the crown, but once again, there's a shocker when the envelopes are finally read. It really feels like we're inching closer to that bittersweet Glee graduation, so let's recap the episode when you

Can I just say how much I loved all of the performances this week? OK, "Dinosaur" isn't about to be added to my iPod, but the slate of pop songs is otherwise wonderful. Rachel, Kurt, and Blaine harmonize beautifully on "Big Girls Don't Cry," while "Love You Like a Love Song" and "What Makes You Beautiful" are perfect current choices for the prom. The clincher of course is "Take My Breath Away," which serves nicely as the prom king and queen dance. Overall, I was feeling it.
With NYADA no longer in the picture, Rachel decides to shift her focus away from her shattered dreams and on to her prom and her wedding. That is, until she learns that Finn and Quinn are campaigning together for prom. It's easy to see both sides of the equation: Rachel doesn't want her prom night ruined by another girl, but Finn wants to help his friend who's had a rough year. Rachel doesn't give in though, and decides to throw her very own anti-prom party. It might have been a good idea if anyone besides Kurt, Blaine, Puck, and Becky showed up.
Quinn starts making major strides at therapy with Joe's support, and decides to show off her walking skills at the prom. In the meantime, she shamelessly uses her condition to sway voters, much to Finn's chagrin. He's sent over the edge when he catches her on two legs during the prom, and is particularly mad at himself for putting Quinn's feelings first. Finn nearly gets into a brawl with Joe after aggressively demanding that Quinn come clean to all the people that voted for her, but ultimately storms off instead.
Finn sets out to bring Rachel and co. back to the prom, which is well timed since Rachel just so happens to be showing off her perfect prom dress at that very moment. It seems like everyone's happy, until Santana learns that Brittany won't win prom king and is bitter about the whole prom court situation. Quinn has earned the most votes anyway, but she takes no pleasure in the victory - and tells Principal Figgins that Rachel was a write-in winner. It's a very sappy, very Glee moment, but it's a refreshing change of pace after Kurt winning prom queen last year as a cruel joke. Rachel's genuinely shocked, and once she realizes she's not in her own version of Carrie, she enjoys her moment in the sun.
There are major strides for the rest of the kids as well: Becky finally gets her crown, Puck fulfills his lifelong dream of spiking the prom punch, and Blaine conquers his fear of going gel-free. Like I said, big accomplishments.

How did you feel about the second helping of prom - and which prom episode do you prefer?

Happy Birthday, Queen Elizabeth - A Royal Look Back

Tara Block — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 08:00:00 PDT

Today is Queen Elizabeth's 86th birthday! But try not to get confused if you hear it's her "actual" birthday as opposed to her "official" birthday. Thanks to Edward VII, who didn't want to celebrate his real birthday when the weather was poor, all kings and queens "officially" celebrate their birthdays in June. But today is the real deal, so let's take a look back at the queen from her days as Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth of York to her current title, Prince William's grandmother.

Buzz Blabber: The Jury Is Still Out on Dan vs. Chuck

BuzzSugar — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 03:05:00 PDT

Between season premieres and questionable casting news, there were quite a few topics on the community radar this week. Game of Thrones is officially back in action, and we're not the only ones who are stoked about its return. Meanwhile, the news that Ashton Kutcher will be playing Steve Jobs in an upcoming biopic got you talking and the debate over who is the best match for Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf continued.

The Dan vs. Chuck battle rages on

"I like Dan, just not with Blair. Well, I like them as friends anyways. Chuck and Blair are on the same level. He's the king of the Upper East Side and she is the queen. They have been through so much together, yet still love one another. And the fact that people are saying Dan loves her for her . . . last time I checked so did Chuck." - Leah2521728
"Chuck and Blair. They're the pairing most have loved and watched. No one's watching Blair and Dan because we're all grossed out by them. We want the real couple." - bonnieleighc
"That can't even be a question. Lol. Dan loves her for who she is, knows more about her than Chuck ever will and doesn't treat her like property. That's real mature love and what Blair deserves." - PinkViolet

See what else was a hot topic after the jump.

The Man Behind the Monarch: A Look at Charming Prince Philip Over the Years

Annie Scudder — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:45:04 PDT

Queen Elizabeth is marking her Diamond Jubilee, but she already celebrated her diamond wedding anniversary back in 2007. Before Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth in 1952, she married the handsome foreign prince from Greece who happened to also be her third cousin, now Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

According to Sally Bedell Smith's new biography, Elizabeth the Queen, Philip came from a tumultuous background despite his lineage. Born in 1921 on Corfu, he moved to Paris with his parents, Prince Andrew of Greece and his mother Alice, at age 1. By age 8, he went to England for boarding school. While there, his parents separated after his mother had a nervous breakdown. She later went back to Greece to start an order of nuns. His father took a different path, living as a socialite in Monte Carlo. As for Philip's four sisters, they married wealthy Germans, some of whom had Nazi ties. That meant Philip couldn't go back to visit as World War II approached.

With generous amounts of good looks and confidence, Philip was able to make his way in England with the help of royal relatives. He met his cousin Elizabeth first at a family wedding in 1934, and then again at the coronation of her father in 1937. He would later be invited to have lunch with the royal family, and that's when Elizabeth reportedly fell for him. During World War II, Philip and Elizabeth wrote letters. By 1946, he was back in London and making regular visits to Buckingham Palace. During that Summer, he spent a month at the royal family's Balmoral estate, where he proposed. At the king's request, they kept it a secret until after her 21st birthday. The wedding was held at Westminster Abbey on Nov. 20, 1947. While on their honeymoon, he wrote a letter to his new mother-in-law, explaining his "ambition to weld the two of us into a new combined existence that will not only be able to withstand the shocks directed at us but will also has a positive existence for good."

During the almost 65 years of their marriage, 60 of them with Elizabeth as the monarch, Prince Philip has been as constant as the queen herself, although he's a bit more controversial, making quite a few insensitive gaffes. But when he's not giving the press an unfortunate quote to run, he's either by the queen's side, working as a patron of 800 charities, or up until recently enjoying carriage racing. At age 90, he doesn't look like he's slowing down, despite a recent heart scare over Christmas. Let's look back at pictures of Prince Philip over the years now.
