Night Court will stay in session at NBC. The network announced on May 3 that the show, which stars Big Bang Theory alumna Melissa Rauch and original Night Court star John Larroquette, will return this fall.

Rauch co-executive produces the show and plays Judge Abby Stone, the daughter of Night Court's Judge Harry Stone, who was played by the late Harry Anderson. She told ABC Audio before the renewal news that fans seemed to spark to one key change to the show in the second season.

"Something that we learned from the first season is that everyone wanted more 'court' in Night Court, which I absolutely love." She added, "The nature of the original, and this revolving door comedy that could come in, when you have these left-of-center cases ... can really drive that comedic engine."

The show was NBC's top-ranked comedy in primetime.

Rauch also revealed playing Abby is a bit easier than playing Bernadette, her character on the long-running The Big Bang Theory, because she no longer has to affect that character's high-pitched, nasally voice all day.

"Yeah, it's definitely different," she says with a laugh.

"I've always sort of used my voice as a way into character. The voice, the pitch or the tenor is usually how I first start dissecting the role, and then sort of figure everything else else out from there. But with Abby, I knew that I wanted it to be as close to my normal voice as possible."

She does add she "watched a lot" of Anderson in the original series to try to pick up "a similar cadence and some of his mannerisms" to bridge between the father and daughter.

On Friday, May 3, the cast of Netflix's Emily In Paris teased the show's upcoming fourth season, as star Lily Collins revealed it will be split in two. 

Part one drops August 15, the actress explains. "Part two drops on September 12. You're welcome," she says as she blows a kiss to the camera.

The snippet also had Collins and her castmates trying to sum up the forthcoming fourth season in three words. Collins starts with "vulnerable." Other descriptors are "messy," "heartbreaking" and "l'amour," but Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays Sylvie, only needed one word: "revenge."

Ashley Park, who plays Mindy, used up her three words with "not finished yet." After stalling in French, Lucas Bravo, who plays Gabriel, spent his three on "Holy f****** s***!"

(NOTE LANGUAGE) After marathon movies like the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer and the nominated Killers of the Flower Moon, it seems Americans are longing for some shorter entertainment.

According to a new poll of 2,000 Americans that was conducted by Talker, the ideal length of a movie for our collective attention spans is 92 minutes.

For the record, movies that clock in at that length include 2004's Dodgeball, 1988's Beetlejuice and 1999's Toy Story 2.

Just 15% of those polled say movies should be more than 2 hours, the survey says.

Just 2% say a movie should be more than 2 and-a half hours long.

Incidentally, shortly after Pete Davidson rapped about his need for a short-a** movie on Saturday Night Live, Netflix posted a section dedicated to movies that get you in and out around 90 minutes.

Survey questions, methodology and results have not been verified or endorsed by ABC News or The Walt Disney Company.

We would say, ‘You know what, let’s put cameras down for four or five months and come back to them,'" Cohen said.

Kevin Spacey has gone on the attack regarding a new U.K. documentary called Spacey Unmasked that will feature interviews with men that purportedly had interactions with the embattled Oscar winner.

The documentary will air on the U.K.'s Channel 4 on May 6 and 7, but could come to our shores thanks to a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns Max.

In a post on X, Spacey expressed, "Over the last week, I have repeatedly requested that @Channel4
afford me more than 7 days to respond to allegations made against me dating back 48 years and provide me with sufficient details to investigate these matters."

He continued, "Channel 4 has refused on the basis that they feel that asking for a response in 7 days to new, anonymized and non-specific allegations is a 'fair opportunity' for me to refute any allegations made against me."

Spacey added, "I will not sit back and be attacked by a dying network's one-sided 'documentary' about me in their desperate attempt for ratings. There's a proper channel to handle allegations against me and it’s not Channel 4."

Spacey, who in 2023 was found not guilty in a U.K. court of multiple charges of sexual assault dating back decades, added, "Each time I have been given the time and a proper forum to defend myself, the allegations have failed under scrutiny and I have been exonerated."

He also implored fans to "tune in" to his social media "to see my response" to the two-part doc.

For its part, Channel 4 insisted to Variety that it gave Spacey "sufficient opportunity to respond" to the project.

Airbnb is already known for providing a home away from home for millions of travelers around the world, but its new Icons listings are for more than resting your head. 

After all, what fan wouldn't want to stay in the X-Men '97 mansion? Or stay in the home owned by Prince as seen in Purple Rain? 

Or maybe you'd like to sleep in that balloon-festooned floating house from Disney/Pixar's UP? 

All those and more will now be available to the public — along with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, like hanging with Kevin Hart or sitting in on a living room performance with Doja Cat.

"Icons take you inside worlds that only existed in your imagination — until now," Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky says. "As life becomes increasingly digital, we're focused on bringing more magic into the real world. With Icons, we've created the most extraordinary experiences on Earth."

The company just unveiled 11 Icons destinations, promising more to come. Listings range from geeky adventures like testing your mutant abilities at Marvel Animation's X-Mansion in Westchester, New York, to artsy bucket list stays at Paris' Musée d’Orsay, where you'll be waking up in the museum's iconic clock room, transformed into a luxurious bedroom by Mathieu Lehanneur, designer of the Paris 2024 Games torch and cauldron. "From the terrace, you’ll witness the historic Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games along the River Seine," Airbnb teases.

The company has put all of the new Icons experiences on its homepage.

Best of all, the Icons offered are either free or priced under $100 per guest; check each listing for details. A countdown displays the time until each Icon goes live, and guests can request to book through the app.

The Eye network is crying happy tears: CBS announced Thursday that it has been the most-watched network in primetime for the 16th straight season.

The network also touted Nielsen "live plus 7-day" ratings through April 21 that showed CBS averaged 5.59 million primetime viewers during the 2023-24 season — by comparison, second-place NBC averaged 5.01 million; ABC's primetime averaged 4.29 million; Fox's averaged 3.35 million.

CBS is also scoring in multiplatform — that is Paramount+, CBS.com and the CBS app — with its new hit Tracker, the sunsetting Young Sheldon and ratings stalwart NCIS, averaging 12 million or more viewers watching that way.
