@TVGMMattRoush I know people complain about the “dirty mouths” on Yellow stone, but I thought you might be amused with my complaint about its prequel, 1883. The costuming and makeup departments have done such a great job making everyone look historically accurate, grimy and unwashed that it is distracting to see almost everyone’s gleaming white teeth in contrast. Isn’t there something the actors could swish around their mouths to at least give the illusion of bad teeth? —Dan MATT ROUSH: You’re right. I am amused. I can’t remember the last time I fielded a request for poorer oral hygiene. But you have a point. Most pioneers probably couldn’t navigate by the sheen from their smile. I’ll probably think about this every time I watch the show going forward, so thanks for that. Like…

Who goes there?! In the supersized opener of time-travel romance Outlander, a familiar face returns to the Ridge to confront Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan, foreground) and his family, including daughter Bree and her husband, Roger (Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin, on steps). That mystery is just the start of the trouble in the Starz drama’s sixth season (premiering Sunday, March 6, 9/8c). Says executive producer Matthew B. Roberts, the Frasers face “a war, lingering bad guys that weren’t taken care of in Season 5 and the [newly arrived] Christie family that are kind of a new cool villain.” The Show We’re Talking About in the Office Mix equal parts Lord of the Flies, TV show Lost and 1993 film Alive, sprinkle in some mean girls, and you have the delicious stew Yellowjackets,…

@TVGMMattRoush The Gilded Age Social climbing in 1880s NYC Mondays, 9/8c, HBO THERE GOES THE neighborhood. That’s how haughty widow Agnes van Rhijn (the marvelous Christine Baranski), ensconced in her Fifth Avenue mausoleum of a mansion, regards the unwelcome arrival across the street of the nouveau riche Russells in their spectacular new palace. George (Morgan Spector) is a ruthless railroad magnate, and wife Bertha (The Leftovers’ crisp Carrie Coon) doesn’t even try to hide her desire to enter the highest ranks of elite society: “Why shouldn’t we be members? I’m tired of letting all those dull and stupid women dictate the way we live our lives.” In HBO’s glorious The Gilded Age, those are fighting words for the likes of Agnes and her snobbish circle of calcified hypocrites in 1882 New York. It’s no accident…

“The world got kind of sad. I’m going to cheer it up”—SAGET, IN A 2019 INTERVIEW WITH TV INSIDER THE HEARTBREAKING NEWS broke Sunday afternoon, January 9. Bob Saget—actor, comedian, beloved husband, dad and friend, plus a television father figure to generations of Americans—had passed away earlier that day in Florida at 65. The night prior, Saget was onstage, happily playing the second date of his newly launched I Don’t Do Negative standup comedy tour. After his act, he tweeted out a typically gracious thank-you that summed up his joy for living and performing: “Loved tonight’s show…. I had no idea I did a 2 hr set tonight. I’m happily addicted again to this….” We know the feeling: We were just as addicted to him. Saget had been brightening viewers’ lives for 35…

Full House (1987–95) All eight seasons of the classic family sitcom are available to stream on HBO Max. Episodes are also available for purchase on Prime Video. Fuller House (2016–20) The Netflix original sequel series focused on two of the grown-up Tanner sisters, D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure) and Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin). Saget had a recurring role as their dad—now a grandfather! Entourage (2005–10) Saget played a hilariously exaggerated version of himself in the HBO dramedy, which now streams on HBO Max. In Seasons 2, 6 and 7, Saget was a neighbor of movie star Vince (Adrian Grenier). Dirty Daddy Saget’s 2014 memoir is a candid and hilarious reflection on his life, from painful lows to awesome highs. Scleroderma Research Foundation (srfcure.org) Saget hosted the charity’s annual Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine benefit over 30 times, raising funds to defeat the…
