Apple announced this morning that its new streaming TV service is slated to launch this fall in more than 100 countries, but it didn't reveal an exact release date or whether the service would cost any money. Apple's upfronts-like presentation featured many of the big names it had signed, from Steven Spielberg to Oprah Winfrey to Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. Apple TV+ will be part of Apple's new Apple TV app, which will allow viewers to bring together cable channels and streaming services like HBO, Hulu, Cinemax and Showtime and cable service providers like Spectrum and DirecTV all in one place. “TV is more than just entertainment, it’s cultural,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said Monday at a presentation at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. “TV at its best enriches our lives and we can share it with people we love.”

On Sunday, Bloomberg reported that YouTube was bowing out of the "Hollywood Arms Race" for high-quality scripted shows for its YouTube Premium service. The report, citing YouTube dropping sci-fi drama Origin, echoed The Hollywood Reporter's story last November that YouTube was pulling back on scripted programming. A YouTube rep, however, denied the report, pointing out that the video service had several drama and comedy scripted shows in the works.

Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin managed to earn their Netflix series the most headlines out of the Kids' Choice Awards while having the "plausible deniability" of never having mentioned Loughlin's name or her college cheating scandal, says Emily Yahir. They also didn't have to take follow-up questions. Meanwhile, they "look like kind and supportive people," says Yahr. "That kind of goodwill can’t be underestimated."

They seemed like mortal enemies -- especially after a 10-minute fight over the Iraq War in 2007 -- but O'Donnell says "I loved her" of Hasselbeck in Ramin Setoodeh's upcoming book Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View: "Here’s what I said, ‘I’m the senior. She’s the freshman. I’ve got a really good player on the freshman team, but I have to teach her how to loosen up,'" says O'Donnell. O'Donnell also admits she had a crush on Hasselbeck. “I think there were underlying lesbian undertones on both parts,” O’Donnell says about her working relationship with Hasselbeck, adding: “There was a little bit of a crush. But not that I wanted to kiss her. I wanted to support, raise, elevate her, like she was the freshman star shortstop and I was the captain of the team.”

“I just feel like I’m too old for that travel,” said the 35-year-old Bella, who joined the WWE in 2007 along with her twin sister Brie Bella. “So I realized like, why am I doing this — I don’t feel good. I really am ready to hang up the jersey. Like, I can say it fully.”

Sunday's episode was shocking, savage and utterly spectacular, says Rob Bricken. "Guys, I haven’t been this stunned by an episode of The Walking Dead in so long," says Bricken. "I mean, I was pleasantly surprised when a zombie knifed Jesus, I’ve enjoyed the wackiness of the Whisperers and the Highwaymen, and I’ve loved the bizarre way Rick was taken off the show. But last night’s episode was just fantastic—and it had an ending so shocking my jaw literally dropped."

The Bears-Packers game will open the NFL season on Thursday, Sept. 5 at Soldier Field in Chicago. The defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, meanwhile, will play on the first Sunday night of the season on NBC.

Alex Kurtzman, who oversees CBS All Access' Star Trek universe, said at Paleyfest Sunday the Jean-Luc Picard series will be a very different show from Star Trek: Discovery, with a "very thoughtful, psychological portrait" of Stewart's iconic character. “Here’s what I will tell you,” Kurtzman said in front of a crowd at the Dolby Theatre. “I had an amazing experience yesterday. I sat at Patrick’s kitchen table and I heard him read the first episode and I almost cried. It was quite something. He’s at an amazing place in his life. He’s so excited. It’s going to be a very different show from Discovery. The only way this universe, I think, works correctly is if each show is really different and speaks to a different part of Star Trek.” Kurtzman added: “This is going to be a very thoughtful, psychological portrait in a lot of ways. We all know what Picard means to the world and why he, like so many legendary characters on Star Trek, has endured and what he’s represented. He in some ways has to go through a gauntlet to find that again. Things have changed for him and changed him in some ways, and yet he is so deeply and fundamentally still Picard. We’re thrilled at what we’re going to deliver. I know Patrick is really excited. The cast is coming together beautifully. And I will give you nothing else.”

It was previously expected that Apple's new TV shows would be made available for free to all Apple users, but The Wall Street Journal reports that the company plans to charge a fee for its new Apple TV service that is being described as a "Netflix killer." Apple is also expected to offer cheaper subscription prices for HBO, Showtime and Starz, charging $9.99 for each of the premium cable channels.

In advance of the 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT announcement, Apple has been looping a playful video stylized to look like a CRT television set on its livestream page.

CBS News had to find a way to cover the findings of special prosecutor Robert Mueller's long-awaited report amid CBS Sports' March Madness coverage, while ABC News and NBC News disrupted a video-game contest and a golf tournament, respectively. NBC was the first to break into live programming at 3:36 p.m. ET, followed by ABC News at 3:42 p.m. ET. "CBS waited until 3:51 to cut into its coverage of the annual men’s college basketball tournament with a 90-second report by Paula Reid, a correspondent covering the Justice Department and the White House," reports Jim Windolf. "When a full gamut of panelists appeared on CBS, they were not news reporters, but sports commentators, and they were offering halftime analysis." ALSO: Rachel Maddow had to disrupt her Tennessee fishing trip Friday to find a nearby studio to cover the Mueller Report for MSNBC.

“This is what’s on my heart this morning,” Ross tweeted Saturday morning. “I believe and trust that Michael Jackson was and is A magnificent incredible force to me and to many others. STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE.” Her tweet arrived as another legendary performer, Barbra Streisand, backtracked on her comments dismissing the severity of sexual molestation allegations from the Leaving Neverland documentary.

Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber didn't mention Loughlin's name while picking up the award for Favorite Funny TV Show on Saturday, but they sure implied their support for her. “Family sticks together no matter what,” Cameron Bure said from the awards stage. “They stick together through the hard times. They support each other, they encourage one another, they pray for each other and they stand by their side no matter how tough it gets. And a loving family that sticks together also celebrates the really good times together.” Sweetin added: “Yes, and this is one of those good times." While an earlier report suggested that Loughlin isn't expected to return for Fuller House's final season, Deadline reports that Netflix hasn't made a final decision on whether she'll return following her indictment. ALSO: Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy's daughter' high school is reeling from the college cheating scandal.

“Our world is going to expand a little bit in a really interesting way,” creator Dan Fogelman teased at Paleyfest. “Where we’re starting the season (next year) is as ambitious as we’ve been in a storytelling way.”

The HBO series is doing what the books that form its source material could never do: come to an end, says Zack Handlen. "Game Of Thrones isn’t just telling the rest of Martin’s story before he can finish it himself; the show is doing it better than he could," says Handlen. "Whether or not that proves to be true, most of the apparent changes are things that were inherent in the text from the start." Handlen says the TV series and Martin's book series can only end in one of two ways: Either The White Walkers win or the humans win. But it's hard to imagine the White Walkers winning after all these years focused on the humans. "Really, Game Of Thrones hasn’t ruined A Song Of Ice And Fire so much as it has brought the series to its inevitable conclusion," says Handlen. "It remains to be seen if that conclusion will make everyone happy or not (spoiler: probably not), but regardless, it will be an ending. If Martin ever finishes books six and seven, it will be in a world that has largely moved on from that version of his tale. And while that seems a bit sad, it might also be for the best for the writer. If the reason Martin has been struggling so long to finish his work is because of his concerns over living up to expectations, it’s possible that being rid of those expectations might allow him the creative freedom he needs to see things through. It might also rob him of whatever impetus to finish he has left. Only time will tell. Fans will at least get an ending, even if it’s not necessarily the ending they wanted. Given how things so often go in the Seven Kingdoms, that’s not entirely inappropriate."

TV news anchors and pundits spent much of Friday speculating on the Mueller report. "After all the buildup, the anchors had one new development to gnaw on: the fact that, according to a Justice Department official, the Mueller report recommended no new charges," says John Koblin, adding: "And before you knew it, television was populated, as it had been earlier in the day, with talking heads spinning out various possibilities that could fill the news maw in the days to come."

Streisand is taking flak for a new Times of London interview, where she says she "absolutely" believes James Safechuck's and Wade Robson's accusations that Jackson sexually molested them. “You can say ‘molested,’” said Streisand. “But those children, as you heard them say (the grown-up Robson and Safechck), they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didn’t kill them.” She adds of Jackson: "His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has.” UPDATE: Streisand has walked back her comments.

Apple will officially become a major rival for Netflix's content business when it debuts its star-studded TV slate on Monday. While Apple isn't paying anywhere near the $10 billion Netflix is shelling out this year on original content, Apple has the power of its more than 1 billion devices around the world (compared to Netflix's 139 million subscribers). Apple and Netflix's relationship has already been fraying for a while now, says Edmund Lee. As Lee explains, "Netflix is a service, or a pipe, that would sit on another service, or pipe, if it agreed to be included in the Apple bundle. And if it had joined forces with Apple, Netflix also would have received little to no data about who is subscribing or watching its stuff. Further muddying the company’s identity, from the Netflix point of view, would be the fact that Apple users who spooled up Stranger Things or Orange Is the New Black may not be aware that they’re watching a Netflix show. Retaining the brand is as important as owning the data." ALSO: What we know and don't know about Apple's Monday announcement.

"One could argue that Oliver was holding Leno 'accountable' for jokes he told in the 1990s that now seem cruel and unfunny," says Conor Friedersdorf of Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment earlier this week on public shaming, which focused on Leno slut-shaming Monica Lewinsky on The Tonight Show. "But Oliver could’ve criticized the old jokes while still treating Leno as he treats himself: as an imperfect but not malign comic who told jokes that are regrettable in hindsight. Surely Leno ranks low on any list of evil forces in American society. He doesn’t warrant a 'Go f*ck yourself,' delivered here for the supposed hypocrisy of making uncivil jokes on a subject and then, a quarter century later, in a polarized moment, yearning for more civility. And whether one feels love, disdain, or indifference toward The Tonight Show under Leno, it was arguably more civil on average than Last Week Tonight. Indeed, Oliver regularly goes the 'Go f*ck yourself' route, and it isn’t because profane shaming does 'a lot of good' for society—it’s because it’s popular...Last Week Tonight depends on a formula that includes a villain, a punching bag, someone to 'destroy,' so that audience members can feel that they’re part of a morally and cognitively superior in-group, perennially exasperated by malign idiots in the out-group."

"The Explainer Show fulfills more or less the same purpose as a specialized news report or a PBS special, and as such is targeted at the demographic least likely to consume said show as part of their media diets: millennials," says Alison Herman of shows like Last Week Tonight, Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj and even Kal Penn's This Giant Beast That Is the Global Economy. Herman adds: "In recent years, this distinct category has grown an even narrower subgroup. The core idea remains in place: wrapping factoids in punch lines can make them more palatable, while giving them a more explicit point of view can make their biases more transparent. But rather than responding to a given news cycle’s headlines, these series prefer to choose their battles. They want to start a conversation, not join one. And because they’re deliberately choosing subjects that aren’t already on viewers’ minds, they take on the initial burden of introducing them to their audience. Call it the Explainer Show."

The legendary "My Heart Will Go On" singer filmed a "Carpool Karaoke" segment on Friday, but a Late Late Show airdate has yet to be revealed.

It only takes about half a season to recognize the the David Fincher-produced Netflix adult anthology series offers a "conventional boys-club approach to catharsis," says Tirhakah Love. "From the first episode on, there’s that all-too-tingling question of whether this show actually hates women." Love adds: "Later episodes are even more worrisome as women and girls are cursed for promiscuity, or dismembered and rendered sacrificial lambs in a vague demon-awakening ritual. Seldom does one of its many stories actually respect its characters. Part of it is functional: Love, Death & Robots conveys a sense that none of its characters are necessarily protected. It’s a big, bad world out there. But even the episodes led by women appear to be full of disdain."

She'll play an "independent, formidable and, occasionally, wildly impulsive" deputy district attorney on the CBS legal drama pilot.

The 63-year-old host of the PBS travel show Travel with Rick Steves is "absolutely American," Sam Anderson writes in a New York Times Magazine profile. "He wears jeans every single day. He drinks frozen orange juice from a can. He likes his hash browns burned, his coffee extra hot. He dislikes most fancy restaurants; when he’s on the road, he prefers to buy a foot-long Subway sandwich and split it between lunch and dinner. He has a great spontaneous honk of a laugh — it bursts out of him, when he is truly delighted, with the sharpness of a firecracker on the Fourth of July. Steves is so completely American that when you stop to really look at his name, you realize it’s just the name Rick followed by the plural of Steve — that he is a one-man crowd of absolutely regular everyday American guys: one Rick, many Steves. Although Steves spends nearly half his life traveling, he insists, passionately, that he would never live anywhere but the United States — and you know when he says it that this is absolutely true."

"Here’s the thing about being on set: We eat all the time, so three hours after breakfast is served, there’s a 'snack' that’s put out, and I say that with quotes, because it’s not really a snack — it’s a meal," says Santos. "Like, yesterday, our snack was dim sum, and it was amazing."

“The scoring approach to Leaving Neverland was to imagine a walk through a beautiful and magical forest,” says composer Chad Hobson, who scored the HBO documentary. “But as you travel deeper into the forest it becomes darker, more distorted, the limbs of the trees becoming more twisted and sinister. … It needed to sound rich and filmic, fairy-tale like.” Surviving R. Kelly composer Nathan Matthew David, meanwhile, says he opted to focus his music on the women accusers, “something that could be melancholic and dark, for the tragedy they went through, but also could be uplifting and sometimes triumphant.”

Fieri's Food Network series has evolved to show off the kind of places that are rarely seen on the cable channel, says Lewis Beale. "I love the fact that Fieri doesn’t really visit diners, drive-ins or dives anymore, but instead he roams America’s big cities, small towns, and strip malls, looking for the local curry joints, taco houses and noodle palaces," says Beale, adding: "The fact is, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is actually a show about two things that have truly made America great: individual entrepreneurship and immigration. The people Fieri features have come to these shores from other countries and have totally enriched our lives. Not that Donald Trump, who thinks a taco bowl is authentic Mexican cuisine, would understand this. But that doesn’t matter, because Triple D is the real America, and Guy Fieri, whether you like him or not, is putting it out there for everyone to see."

Brett Chamberlin was in high school in August 2009 when he decided to hold up his Arrested Development sign amid an anti-Obamacare protest. Chamberlin's sign would become a meme. But now that Arrested Development has been resurrected for two disappointing seasons, what does Chamberlin think? "No regrets,” he says. “I suspect that whether or not I had held that sign, Arrested Development would still hold the cultural cachet that it does, it would still have the cult following.”

“I might be remembering this wrong but I think I was gonna be one of Phoebe’s triplets,” Elle tells Net-A-Porter. “I auditioned for it but I didn’t get it and I was like, ‘I’m boycotting the show, I’m never watching this again.'" She adds: "Then my sister was on it and I refused to watch the episode. I was like, ‘I am not watching this!’”

Makeup designer Louie Zakarian, who's Saturday Night Live's head of makeup, takes us inside his hectic schedule in creating "TV magic."

The longest episode of the David Fincher-produced Netflix adult animated anthology series is 17 minutes, while other episodes run less than eight minutes. Love, Death & Robots especially stands out when even half-hour sitcoms like Arrested Development are turning out bloated episodes that run about 50 minutes. "Love, Death & Robots' bite-sized programming tactic is a good one, never lingering too long on any one universe, on any one animation style," says Tom Philip. "Some of the short stories are very good...It's a binge-watch show, but in a new sense of the word. Puttering about, cleaning my room with the show playing on my TV, I got through three episodes. Imagine cleaning your room for the length of three rounds of House of Cards. I'd be living like Howard Hughes."

Carlson's primetime show's "house ads" for Fox News programs has soared from 1.33 per show to 6.2 per show after losing 26 major advertisers.

The Netflix mystery drama from creators Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling, starring Marling, returns as a beautiful, batsh*t puzzle box, says Tom Philip. "There were moments of levity in Part I, but often too few and far between," he says. "Part II is, charitably, bonkers, aided no doubt by an obviously expanded budget for the follow-up season." He adds: "Not entirely ready to do away with the sins of the past, The OA still has some ways to go in pacing some of its episodes. The horror house installment is immediately followed by a 45-minute road trip undertaken by OA's previous disciples in universe 1.0 which, despite Phyllis Smith's charms, doesn't justify an entire episode. But that's a small price to pay for what has now revealed itself as one of the most ridiculously fun and earnest shows in recent memory. The OA Part II takes big swings wherever it can, and connects frequently. I've never been happier to be proven wrong about a show I'd written off. If Netflix has the sense to let Marling and Batmanglij tell the full story they've obviously mapped out for a few more years to come, this could be the beginning of something seriously special."

The long-running CW/WB series, which surpassed 300 episodes last month, will call it quits next season, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins announced via a video posted to Twitter this afternoon. Supernatural, the last remaining The WB series on The CW, was renewed for Season 15 in January. The final season will consist of 20 episodes. "Hey #SPNFamily here’s a little message from @JensenAckles @mishacollins and me," Padalecki tweeted. "I’m so grateful for the family that’s been built because of the show. Excuse me while i go cry." Ackles added: "Well, it’s official. One more round for the Winchester brothers. Though nothing ever really ends in Supernatural...does it?" In a statement, executive producers Robert Singer and Andrew Dabb said of ending the series: “Firstly, we would like to thank all the people who have been involved with the show both in front of and behind the camera. For us, it has been an experience of a lifetime. The support we have had from both Warner Bros Television and The CW has been incredible.  We’d like to give special thanks to Jensen, Jared and Misha for making this journey so special. It is now most important to us to give these characters that we love the send off they deserve.” ALSO: Supernatural creator Eric Kripke and others react to the news: "#SPNFamily please remember: shows end. But family is forever," tweeted Kripke. "That never changes & that's what you've created here."

A YouTuber and Redditor, who has leaked plotlines of the show before, reportedly posted details of the Season 8 premiere in a YouTube video. According to Newsweek, "while no clips from the series were posted, the user allegedly shared a video on YouTube, describing in great detail the chain of events in the Season 8 premiere episode. The video was quickly removed, and in a post on the Reddit community 'Free Folk,' the user wrote he was facing a 'copyright infringement claim' from the network. Nonetheless, he still wrote out details he initially shared in the YouTube video." HBO reps told Newsweek the network “does not publicly discuss our anti-piracy efforts."
