For seven consecutive weeks, Max/HBO’s “The Penguin” has ruled the streaming chart, much in the way its titular character hopes to reign over the crime underworld of Gotham City. No one and nothing, ranging from diplomats to lawyers, from Halloween horrors to Martha Stewart, could unseat the show this week on Samba TV’s Weekly Wrap Report.
With one more episode to go, it’s highly likely “The Penguin” will make it a clean eight-week sweep atop the chart – and possibly extend its tenure beyond new episodes, as we saw with “House of the Dragon” over the summer.
Let’s look at the challengers who may hope to hold the crown once “The Penguin’s” season ends.
In second this week is “Don’t Move,” the Netflix horror film that likely got a Halloween-time bump in ratings. At No. 3 is another gangster story, albeit one a bit lighter in tone,...

After nearly two years, “Yellowstone” fans are finally about to receive the second half of Season 5 and potentially the conclusion of the beloved Dutton family saga, albeit with one giant piece of the series missing.
Following a very public disagreement between the lead of the show, Kevin Costner, and creator, Taylor Sheridan, over how writing and production on the show was being handled, Costner chose to forgo returning to “Yellowstone,” instead deciding to focus on his massive Western epic “Horizon: An American Saga.” Nonetheless, Sheridan moved forward with the second half of Season 5, sans Costner, taking a cue from “Succession” and choosing to put the show’s focus on John Dutton’s kids for what appears to be the final season. While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the show’s red carpet premiere, Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce Dutton, expressed sadness over Costner not coming back, but said it...

Judges on Dancing With the Stars hand out scores – they don’t receive them. Still, Mark Ballas earned a whole bunch of virtual “10’s” on social media for his performance as a guest judge on the dance reality competition series a few weeks ago. “Petition to have Mark as a permanent DWTS judge?” posted @thatgirljess96 on Instagram. Added @cheerfor_maysa: “He is the Len Goodman 2.0.” The three-time Mirrorball champion brought experience, passion, constructive criticism, and layman’s terms to his critiques on “Dedication Night.” Like former pro-turned-judge Derek Hough, Ballas knows what it’s like to stand before the panel after putting blood, sweat, and tears into a routine. “I’m aware after competing for 20 seasons that sometimes you get at the judges’ table great feedback that makes you feel good and sometimes, you get feedback that you’re bummed out about,” Ballas says.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a spectacular annual event marched by thousands and watched by millions — and a massive undertaking with countless moving parts. Inevitably, mistakes happen, Mother Nature intervenes, and balloons go off the prescribed path through New York City. After a series of scary mishaps involving wayward balloons, safety measures are now in place for the parade. Two months beforehand, employees of a half-dozen city agencies walk the parade route and note hundreds of hazards to balloons along the way, and then set about neutralizing those threats, according to The New York Times. City officials have also required Macy’s to anchor balloons to vehicles and to install anemometers along the route to monitor wind speed and direction. Pikachu Pokemon GIFfrom Pikachu GIFs Wind is “the one thing we watch closely,” Macy’s employee Kathy Kramer pilot told Vanity Fair in 2014, drawing upon her 15 years of piloting balloons during the parade.

Gold Rush star Parker Schnabel has mined more than 63,000 ounces and $98 million of gold in his career, as Discovery Channel touts in a press release for the docuseries’ new season. And yet Schnabel says trying to describe his life’s work makes dating difficult. “I try to explain it in a way that doesn’t sound like Mad Max,” Schnabel told People with a laugh. “It’s hard to explain that without it sounding like some dystopian, insane world. I’m in the woods, and you’re living in a f***ing bunker washing rocks, looking for little, shiny rocks. … Then it makes dating incredibly difficult. They’re like, ‘What do you do?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know.’” Schnabel added that he hopes to have a family and “a life outside of TV” eventually, adding that he’ll likely have kids after Gold Rush goes off air.

Jeopardy! viewers might still be feeling the adrenaline from the game that aired on Friday, November 8, which one fan called one of the most fun episodes they’d ever seen. In that match, one-day champion Susan Stumme, a journalist from Arlington, Virginia, faced off against Ross Dickson, a research consultant from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Rachel Marcus, a writer and consultant from New York City. Susan took an early lead and stayed far ahead of Ross and Rachel for most of the Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy rounds — even though she missed a Daily Double by identifying the opera Don Giovanni by the protagonist’s Spanish name, Don Juan. But after Ross’ big wager during the last Daily Double — he added $6,400 to his score by knowing that Charles de Gaulle presided over France’s Fifth Republic — he and Susan ended Double Jeopardy tied at $14,600, with Rachel trailing with $12,200.

Warning: The following post contains discussions of suicide. When Sister Wives first started, the TLC docuseries shared the story of Kody Brown and his first three sister wives, Meri, Janelle, and Christine, as they welcomed a fourth wife, Robyn, eventually swelling into a family with 18 kids. “Love should be multiplied, not divided,” Kody told viewers in the first episode as he introduced his plural, fundamentalist Mormon family. Now, though, that love has been divided… and divided… and divided. Hundreds of episodes later, Kody is divorced from Meri, Janelle, and Christine, and he’s struggling in his relationship with Robyn, by his own admission. He’s not speaking to several of his children, and off-screen, the family is dealing with a heartbreaking tragedy. So, should TLC’s cameras still be rolling? On one hand, Sister Wives remains compelling, perhaps even more so now that the Browns are candid about the tensions...

Editor’s Note: The following story contains major spoilers for the series finale of “Disclaimer.”
Like great opera, “Disclaimer” reaches a shattering — and unashamedly emotionally overwrought, and series-overturning — conclusion in its final seventh hour. And that’s even well before Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett), hyped up on a pitcher of homemade cold brew downed at a junkie’s pace to dilute the tranquilizers Stephen (Kevin Kline) put in her tea, falls to her knees in a hospital at the notion that Stephen may have just killed her son (Kodi Smit-McPhee).
We learn in Episode 7 that the tell-all book dropped on Catherine’s doorstep in the premiere was indeed an elaborate fiction written by Jonathan’s (Louis Partridge) mother (Lesley Manville). That that summer two decades ago in Italy wasn’t a seduction on the young Catherine’s (Leila George) part but instead a stalking that ended in her brutal rape...

The late Quincy Jones made memorable contributions to General Hospital in the early 1980s, providing songs that were used for not one but two of the show’s most popular pairings – Holly (Emma Samms) and Luke (Anthony Geary), and later, Robert (Tristan Rogers) and Holly. Jones produced the song “Baby Come to Me,” which only hit No. 73 on the Billboard charts when it was first released in April 1982. Later, Gh used it to introduce “widowed” Luke Spencer finding love again with the enigmatic Holly Sutton. The song, performed by singers James Ingram and Patti Austin, swept viewers into Luke’s romance with the English beauty. While viewers heard the tune up to a few times a week by watching Holly and Luke, the actors didn’t necessarily hear it all as songs are added to scenes after they’ve been shot. “Music isn’t always played at the time of taping a scene,...

Near the beginning of the episode, Frank (Tom Selleck) learns that the Irish Society pulled an invitation to honor Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) with a service award (before the detective even knew about it). It seems to be a first in the 100-odd years of honoring cops and firefighters. The determining factor is, ostensibly, Danny’s reputation and baggage. The mouthpiece is Grace Edwards (Lori Loughlin), with whom Frank previously crossed paths.

There’s a war brewing between Piltover and Zaun: While the utopian city of progress is breaking technological barriers, the people of the Undercity want more than to simply survive under the rule of a criminal empire built by their self-appointed leader.
