All the studios, producers, and platforms have now created so many hours of content that it will be hard to fit in just one life.
While that may be disappointing to some, it also means that you will always have something new to watch. So if you are looking for the next hidden gem to check out, you can start with something from the list below.
Revolution (2012-2014)
Revolution is a sci-fi show that could have done much better in the 2020s than it did in the 2010s.

John Beasley, the actor best known for his work in the TV shows “The Soul Man” and “Everwood”, as well as a long string of memorable film roles, has died. He was 79.
The veteran character actor’s son, Mike Beasley, confirmed the news on Tuesday with a heartbreaking post on Facebook, paying tribute to his late father.
“Man…you know this is a part of life…but that doesn’t make it any easier,” Mike wrote. “I lost my best friend today. They say you shouldn’t ever meet your heroes because they don’t turn out to be who you thought they were. That is so wrong. My hero was my father.”
“Thank you for everything. I hope I made you proud. Love you more,” he added, alongside a photo of himself with his arm around his smiling father’s shoulders.

The top honorees at the 2023 Laurence Olivier Awards were plays that focused on cultures outside of London. “My Neighbour Totoro,” which is based on the beloved Japanese film of the same name from Studio Ghibli, won six trophies, the most of the night, including Best New Comedy, Director, and four craft categories. A revival of the American classic “A Streetcar Named Desire” by Tennessee Williams claimed three: Best Play Revival and for lead Paul Mescal and featured player Anjana Vasan. Meanwhile, the British-based “Prima Facie,” which is set to bow on Broadway this month and will thus compete at the Tony Awards, took home two prizes for Best Play and for star Jodie Comer.
The only other productions to win more than one trophy were all musicals. “Standing at the Sky’s Edge” won two of the top prizes: Best Musical and Best Original Score or New Orchestrations. “Tammy Faye,...

Order a strong coffee and pairs of quality running shoes for Rainn Wilson (Weird: The Al Yankovic Story) and Lil Rel Howery (Get Out) because the duo is getting behind the wheel of an unpredictable ambulance. The team inked a deal to executive produce and star in Code 3, an action-comedy about paramedics at the end of their rope. The project hails from Wayfarer Studios and Circle of Confusion, with production putting rubber to the road in Los Angeles in February.
Christopher Leone directs from a script by former paramedic Patrick Pianezza. According to Deadline, Code 3 focuses on a day in the life of two overworked, underpaid, and exhausted paramedics. One Emt, wasted from the job, forces himself to resign, though he must complete one more 24-hour shift before calling it quits. As you can imagine, everything that can go wrong does, leading the tired Emt and his replacement to a hellish shift of epic proportions.

As we approach the 10th anniversary of The Lost Room, we reminisce about the series with co-creator Christopher Leone...
Many people pine for the one that got away. For a swathe of science fiction fans, their great lost love is Joss Whedon’s space western show Firefly, but for a few of us there was also another sci-fi show cruelly cut off in its prime after just a few great episodes in the 00s – and that show is The Lost Room.

Comedian and actor Kevin Pollak, from such films as The Usual Suspects and the SyFy Channel miniseries The Lost Room, will be directing a documentary about the dark side of comedy with his new film Misery Loves Comedy. The film will be Pollak's directorial debut.
The film is going to explore the "pain behind the humor" that Pollak believes so many comedians endure. Suicide, depression and dissatisfaction are common factors among many comedians, independent of their level of success, and Misery Loves Comedy will "uncover more about the minds and hearts of comedians than any of us think we know," Pollak said in a statement.
Pics: Role Call - Who Got Hired In Hollywood?
Initially, to fund the project, Pollak set up a Kickstarter campaign, hoping to crowd-source the funds for the film, in the same way that Zach Braff recently raised the capital to shoot his next film.

"House" regular Peter Jacobson won't have a lot of downtime between the end of his current series and his possible next series role.
Jacobson, who's joined "House" in its fourth season, has taken a role in the Showtime drama pilot "Ray Donovan," according to Deadline. He's the first "House" cast member to line up pilot work since the announcement of the show's end date.

A week ago, I wrote an article called Looking Back at The Lost Room, where I did just that – took a look back at the fantastic 2006 SyFy series. Little did I know, the timing couldn't have been any better. While there were lots of exciting news that came out of Comic-Con, the one I'm personally most excited about is that The Lost Room will live on – in comic form! Just yesterday, I spoke with creators Christopher Leone and Laura Harkcom to get the details. They were both asked multiple times at Comic-Con if they had anything to do with the article I wrote as a way to lead up to their announcement of the comic, but they didn't. I just happened to write and publish it when I did.

Back in 2006, the Sci-Fi Channel aired an excellent miniseries that was largely overlooked. I personally hadn't heard about it until recently. As a die-hard Lost fan, reading the synopsis for The Lost Room and seeing the words "The Event" was enough to really pique my interest. There was no doubt at that point that I had to check it out, and I'm glad I did.
Peter Krause stars as Detective Joe Miller, who learns about the existence of the Room and comes into possession of the Key. The Room was just a typical room in a typical motel along Route 66 – until "the Event" occurred, anyway. The Objects appear to be your average, everyday items that you might find in a typical room in a typical motel. However, they all have a unique power and are indestructible outside the Room.

It's a fascinating premise and the show is terrific ... until the conclusion, which is disappointing to say the least -- especially after six damn hours of viewing time (The Sci Fi Channel, 10 Am to 4 Pm).

Remember the super cool mini-series “The Lost Room”? Joe Miller (Peter Krause) went around trying to round up missing items that had the ability to gift the person that possessed them with supernatural abilities? Well, a lot of fans wanted that to go to series and it never happened. On the other hand, we can look forward to Warehouse 13. Recently announced as a series, Warehouse 13 was developed by Rockne O’Bannon (Farscape) and Jane Espenson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and D. Brent Mote. The plot, stop me if this sounds familiar, is about a couple of cops – FBI agents to be more precise - rounding up strange items that posses seemingly supernatural capabilities. Whoa. The difference here, is that the objects don’t belong to a secret society as in The Lost Room, they belong to the United States Government. I’ll admit that even though I would...

ABC Family received good tidings Sunday with the premiere of the original movie Santa Baby.
The Jenny McCarthy starrer pulled in 4.7 million total viewers, making it the most-watched basic cable telecast of the day. Santa Baby, which aired from 8-10 p.m., stands as the most-watched original movie developed under the ABC Family banner. Compared with the time period a year ago, Santa Baby was up 81% in total viewers.
Santa also ranked as the No. 2 movie on all basic cable for the week ending Dec. 10, second only to an encore showing of theatrical The Polar Express (5.1 million), also on ABC Family. That movie, which aired 7-9:30 p.m. Saturday, now stands as the network's most-watched non-original telecast of all time.
Sci Fi Channel's The Lost Room got off to a modest start Monday night. The six-hour miniseries, starring Peter Krause and Julianna Margulies, averaged 2.1 million total viewers in its 9-11 p.m. premiere.
That figure represents a significant dropoff from the performance of two other Sci Fi minis that also debuted during the month of December: The Triangle, which drew 4.3 million in its premiere Dec.

Santa also ranked as the No. 2 movie on all basic cable for the week ending Dec. 10, second only to an encore showing of theatrical The Polar Express (5.1 million), also on ABC Family. That movie, which aired 7-9:30 p.m. Saturday, now stands as the network's most-watched non-original telecast of all time.
Sci Fi Channel's The Lost Room got off to a modest start Monday night. The six-hour miniseries, starring Peter Krause and Julianna Margulies, averaged 2.1 million total viewers in its 9-11 p.m. premiere.
That figure represents a significant dropoff from the performance of two other Sci Fi minis that also debuted during the month of December: The Triangle, which drew 4.3 million in its premiere Dec.
