From ‘Curb’ to ‘The Comeback,’ HBO knows comedy.
Writing a list of the top HBO comedy TV shows of all time is hard because it’s subjective. What I think is funny and what you think is funny is different – and we’re both right (except I’m more right). Still, it’s fun to do and I can use the release of the new HBO comedy TV series “The Franchise” as an excuse to do it.
With new episodes dropping on Sunday nights, “The Franchise” follows the crew of an unloved franchise movie as they showcase the secret chaos inside the world of superhero moviemaking. Sam Mendes is co-creator, so he’s bound to bring the realism having spent years and years of his life making franchise movies. More importantly – as this list will exemplify - HBO knows comedy.

Solar Opposites has always felt like the little brother to Rick & Morty, considering their similar style, humor, and (once) creative teams, but now it’s starting to feel like a carbon copy of the elder statesman of adult animation. Season 5 of Solar Opposites has a few funny moments but largely lacks the creativity that has made the show a fan favorite.
Solar Opposites Review
This season follows the Shlorpians as they attempt to figure out a family dynamic, made even more tumultuous by the fact that Korvo and Terry are now married (a development from the Valentine’s Day special released earlier this year). Considering the new plot points, it should come as no surprise that Solar Opposites season 5 leans more heavily into the sitcom side of the show. While this leads to a few really funny jokes and satirical moments about domesticity, those looking forward to more weird sci-fi antics will likely be disappointed.

“After a bruising year, Marvel is returning to the very things that worked in the past. That means reuniting with franchise crown jewel Robert Downey Jr. as well as the Russo brothers, who directed the two most successful movies for the studio with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Alleged serial sex pest and Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland may have a third hit animated sci-fi comedy series on his hands — hopefully it’ll keep them off his underaged fans.
In December 2022, Roiland’s video game studio Squanch Games released their biggest and most ambitious project to date, a comedic first-person shooter called High on Life that took the colorfully crass brand of comedy that made Rick and Morty a massive hit and incorporated it into arguably the most creatively absurd video game of the year. Despite middling reviews from critics who found the Roiland-created game’s incessant, irreverent meta-humor grating, High on Life quickly hit the top of the sales charts on both Xbox and Steam.
Then, in January 2023, Roiland’s career and reputation hit an all-time low when news that Roiland faced felony domestic abuse charges opened the floodgates on a series of allegations against the...

Exclusive: Emmy winner Jb Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm) is set to produce a comedic animated series based on the video game High On Life.
The actor, who launched his production outfit Alternate Side Productions last year, hasn’t officially been cast in the development project but we hear there’s a good chance he will.

While, Hulu is not as flashy as some of the other streaming services like Netflix, Max, and Disney+, it has a solid library of shows that are both originals and licensed through various studios. Regarding sci-fi shows, Hulu doesn’t have any big names like 3 Body Problem or Westworld, but it makes up for that by carrying some great new and old shows like Devs and The X-Files, which were loved by millions of people. So, we thought of making a list of the best sci-fi TV shows you can find on Hulu right now.

"Say Anything" marked America's transition into the 1990s by sealing off the heyday of feel-good high-school rom-coms and goth rock in the '80s. It was a major and much-needed send-off that is probably still an all-time favorite among many a Gen-x-er today.
The coming-of-age hit from 20th Century Fox featured breakout stars like John Cusack and Ione Skye. Even the supporting roles were played by soon-to-be major players like Pamela Adlon or the children of mega-famous stars like Jason Gould.
But not every actor featured in the 1989 romance movie survived into 2024. Unfortunately, John Mahoney, who played Diane's hypercritical (and hypocritical) father, James Court, passed away back in 2018. The late actor was the oldest major cast member by quite a few years and was in his late 70s when he passed.

This post contains spoilers for "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" episode 4, "Parallels and Interiors."
The Monsterverse is coming up on a decade now, dating back to director Gareth Edwards' "Godzilla" in 2014. But in all of those years, the human characters in the franchise have often left much to be desired. Fortunately, the Monsterverse has finally figured out this piece of the puzzle. The key? Kurt Russell. "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" is currently in the midst of its first season on Apple TV+ and Russell's character Lee Shaw is easily the best human character we've had against the backdrop of this world of monsters.
In nine years of the Monsterverse, we've had some extremely memorable monster action, including one heck of a showdown between Godzilla and King Kong in 2021's aptly named "Godzilla vs. Kong." The humans? That's a different story. Oftentimes, these characters feel like vehicles that are just driving us toward the next monster showdown.

In the cold open to Solar Opposites's fourth season, the Solar Opposites get themselves into one of their usual jams. In this case, Terry (Thomas Middleditch) throws an errant dart at the official dartboard from Cheers that he splurged on and accidentally hits husband/mission commander Korvo in the throat. Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) fetches the "voice-fixing ray," and with a quick zap, Korvo is good as new. Better, even, because now he's voiced by actor Dan Stevens, complete with posh-as-heck English accent. Everyone acknowledges that this is weird, but Terry is turned on by the new voice (who wouldn't be?), so the voice will stay this way. The subsequent opening credits reiterate that this is how Korvo sounds now, including in any flashback scenes, because that's just how science works. No more questions!

Hulu‘s Solar Opposites is set to return for Season 4 on August 14, and in TV Insider’s exclusive clip, we see Korvo and Terry (Thomas Middleditch) in a troubling situation as the computer system of their ship Aisha (Tiffany Haddish) is set to shut down unexpectedly. The clip begins with Korvo proudly watching Terry “take the initiative” as he updates Aisha. However, things worsened when Aisha announced the update will take 21 days and 14 hours to complete. Korvo, in shock, says they can’t survive that long without her: “She scrubs the air, monitors all the neutrino levels!” In a very casual tone, Aisha tells them the update will commence in “uhhh, pshh, I dunno, like 40 seconds? That’s good enough.” As Korvo tries to bypass this, he directs Terry towards the array of rays, specifically, one that’ll help buy them some time. However, that’s when things take a turn,...

As many recent storylines of movies and TV shows explore the concept of the “multiverse”, a new exclusive clip from the Hulu original sci-fi comedy, Solar Opposites, explores what is called “the stockiverse.” The stockiverse is revealed to be a universe in which people get placed into a universe of stock photos. Korvo accidentally traps Jesse in the stockiverse and must enter the posed-photo world to retrieve her.
The official synopsis for the Hulu original reads,
A team of four aliens escape their exploding home world only to crash land into a move-in ready home in suburban America. They are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome. Korvo and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) only see the pollution, crass consumerism, and human frailty while Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Jesse (Mary Mack) love humans and all their TV, junk food and fun stuff.

Losing a lead actor is a nightmare scenario for any series, especially when the circumstances are as fraught and the voice work is as recognizable as Justin Roiland’s. Season four of Solar Opposites opens with Korvo getting shot in the throat by a voice-changing ray. It’s initially jarring to hear the stumbling, extremely Roiland-esque narration read by Dan Stevens, but the actor’s plummy English tones are actually a perfect fit for the uptight alien. And while a “voice-changing ray” might sound like a laughably perfunctory solution to the problem, it’s likewise a perfect fit for a show that never takes itself too seriously.
The new season begins with Korvo suggesting that his family rein in their zany antics to prevent their young Pupa (Sagan McMahan) from going berserk again. With this in mind, Korvo and Terry (Thomas Middelditch)—the parental figures in this odd alien household...

Hulu has released the official Solar Opposites season 4 trailer. The animated sci-fi comedy was created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan, and if I’m being honest with myself… I might love it more than Rick and Morty.
You might have noticed that Korvo is sounding a little different in the Solar Opposites season 4 trailer, and that’s because Hulu replaced previous voice actor Justin Roiland with Dan Stevens. The streaming service axed Roiland after he had been charged with felony domestic abuse, but those charges were dismissed in March. “This case was dismissed as a result of insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt,” said Orange County District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Kimberly Edds.
Justin Roiland took to social media to comment on the charges against him being dismissed. “I have always known that these claims were false — and I never had any doubt that this day would come,...

“Solar Opposites” may feature a new voice in its core lineup, but it’s just as ridiculous as ever. The Season 4 trailer teases more of the shenanigans the series is known for, this time with Dan Stevens replacing Justin Roiland as the voice of Korvo. The animated comedy returns Aug. 14.
After briefly addressing Korvo being hit with a “voice fixing ray,” the trailer skips along to business as usual for Hulu’s animated comedy. Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Korvo (Stevens) almost kill their baby-like charge, the Pupa, by leaving him in a hot car. Jesse (Mary Mack) adds more shrunken humans to her wall collection. Terry turns into a human, complete with a butthole. If all of this sounds insane, that’s the vibe.
In January, 20th Century Animation and Hulu Originals confirmed Justin Roiland would be removed from “Solar Opposites” and “Koala Man” and that both series would continue without his involvement.

Hulu’s Solar Opposites will sound different when it returns for its fourth season. Solar Opposites co-creator Justin Roiland, who voiced Korvo for three seasons, is out. The new season finds the grumpy alien has adopted a distinctly British accent, thanks to Dan Stevens stepping in and taking over the voice role. And the just-released trailer provides our first real look at/listen to the major shift.
In addition to Dan Stevens, season four features Thomas Middleditch back as Terry, Sean Giambrone reprising his role as Yumyulack, and Mary Mack returning as Jesse. Mike McMahan and Josh Bycel serve as executive producers.
The upcoming season will consist of 11 episodes and is set to premiere on August 14, 2023. Hulu’s aiming at a 2024 premiere for a Valentine’s Day special.
The Plot, Courtesy of Hulu:
Solar Opposites centers around a team of four aliens who are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome.

Despite the shake-up behind the scenes following worrisome allegations of inappropriate behavior from co-creator and star Justin Roiland, the adult animated comedy "Solar Opposites" returns to Hulu in August for a fourth season.
Not too long ago, we learned exactly how Justin Roiland would be replaced by Dan Stevens ("Downton Abbey") as Korvo, the curmudgeonly paternal figure of the makeshift alien family that also includes excitable pop culture enthusiast Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and the younglings, Jesse (Mary Mack) and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone), who have their own bizarre adventures, not to mention keeping track of a collection of tiny humans, who have their own story unfolding inside a wall-sized terrarium in their bedroom. Today, a new "Solar Opposites" season 4 trailer shows off more of the wild adventures that the Schlorpians will embark on, and it looks sufficiently wacky and raunchy.

Earlier this year, animation superstar Justin Roiland was fired by the animated Hulu series “Solar Opposites” that he co-created after he faced a series of allegations of domestic violence and disturbing workplace and online actions. Roiland denied the allegations and the domestic violence charges were later dropped.
While Roiland co-wrote the “Solar Opposites” pilot with showrunner Mike McMahan, he did not have a writing credit since, but served the very recognizable voice of Korvo, the perennially ticked-off lead character. The series announced that they would find a way forward, and, given the goofy science fiction premise of the series, they have done so in a way that is in sync with the vibe of the series.
Dan Stevens and his crisp British accent will voice the exiled, sociopathic schlorpian in the show’s fourth season, which debuts in August.

When Solar Opposites returns to Hulu, Korvo will have a new voice.
Legion and Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens has been tapped to replace co-creator and Korvo actor Justin Roiland.
And, if you're worried about how the series will explain the change in voice, we already know how this will play out.
In a new promo for Solar Opposites Season 4, Terry (Thomas Middleditch), Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone), and Jesse (Mary Mack) are talking about a set of darts Terry shows off in the house.
Tragedy strikes when he throws one, and it accidentally lands directly in Korvo's throat, thus, altering his vocals forever.
Thanks to some technology, there is a plan to help change the voice, but as the trailer teases, it doesn't amount to much.

Dan Stevens has joined the cast of Hulu’s ‘Solar Opposites’ as the new voice of Korvo for seasons four and five.
Korvo is a grouchy alien who always wears ceremonial robes and professes to hate Earth. He desperately wants to fix their spaceship so he can escape to a new planet.
Season four centres around a team of four aliens who are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome. Korvo (Dan Stevens) and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) only see the pollution, crass consumerism, and human frailty while Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Jesse (Mary Mack) love TV, junk food and fun stuff.

Korvo is sounding a little different in a first look at Solar Opposites‘ fourth season, which Hulu has unveiled timed to the casting announcement of Dan Stevens. The actor known for his roles in shows like Legion and Downton Abbey is bringing a little English flare to the alien character previously voiced by since-ousted voice star Justin Roiland. In order to help welcome Stevens to the fold, there needed to be an explanation for the drastic voice change, and thankfully animators have fans covered. In a tease for the fourth season, which arrives Monday, August 14 with all 11 episodes on Hulu, Terry (Thomas Middleditch), Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone), and Jesse (Mary Mack) are talking about a set of darts Terry begins to set up in their house. When he throws one and it accidentally lands directly in Korvo’s throat, they have to use a voice-fixing ray which alters the character’s vocals.

When it was revealed that Hulu would be recasting the voice of Korvo on Solar Opposites after firing Justin Roiland, I think fans assumed that the replacement might sound similar… but Hulu is going in a very different direction. THR announced today that Dan Stevens, yes, that Dan Stevens, has been tapped to voice Korvo on Solar Opposites.
Hulu also released a Solar Opposites first-look video of Dan Stevens in the role, which includes a rather simple explanation of why Korvo’s voice is so different.
Solar Opposites was created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan and centers around a group of aliens who crash land in suburban America after fleeing their exploding home world.

Solar Opposites Recast: Dan Stevens Replacing Fired Justin Roiland as Korvo in Season 4 — First Look
Five months after Hulu cut ties with Solar Opposites co-creator Justin Roiland, the streamer has tapped Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Legion) to take his place as the voice of Korvo.
Roiland was dropped by Hulu earlier this year after being charged with one count of domestic battery with corporal injury and one count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud or deceit — all connected to an incident that allegedly occurred in 2020 with an unidentified woman. Despite being cleared of those charges in March, Roiland will not return to the show.

He is taking on the role from series creator Justin Roiland who exited in January when Hulu Originals and Solar Opposites studio 20th Television Animation severed ties with the writer-producer-performer after he had been accused of domestic violence.
Korvo is a grouchy alien who always wears ceremonial robes and professes to hate Earth. He desperately wants to fix their spaceship so he can escape to a new planet.
In the cast, Stevens joins Thomas Middleditch, Sean Giambrone and Mary Mack.
Season 4 of Solar Opposites will premiere on August 14, 2023 on Hulu with 11 episodes followed by a Valentine’s Day special coming in 2024. Watch a first-look video below. The series already has been renewed through Season 5.
Solar Opposites centers on a team of four aliens who are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome.
