You guys, we are loving Political Animals so much! It makes us wish there was a presidential race to watch right now! Oh, right…We meant a presidential race where the plot actually moves forward. Catch up on the first four episodes on Hulu today!
All the world’s a stage for Shakespeare, who was born on this day 450 years ago. References to the Great Bard pop up all over television — here are just 10 of our favorites. What did we miss?
Still can’t get enough? Check out Complete Works on Hulu. It’s the tale of the cutthroat world of Shakespeare acting competitions. (Spoiler: They’ll do anything for the part.)

The Dundies is the most important awards ceremony of our times.
There. We said it. And it felt good.
You can have your Oscars and your Tonys and your Westminster Dog Shows. Dunder-Mifflin’s annual award ceremony honoring excellence in showing up to your job is the most relatable awards show you will ever see on television. Oh, sure, it may seem like just another cheesy event that everyone attends because it’s a big deal to Michael Scott. They’ll share some tasty Chili’s apps and a couple of drinks (and maybe even a few “second drinks.”) and then go home, but the Dundies ended up representing so much more than that.
Whereas, at first glance, the awards seemed to be insulting toward the employees (except for six time “Hottest in the Office”-winner Ryan Howard), they ended up allowing the staff to not take themselves so seriously. When outsiders mocked Michael trying to conduct the Dundies, his staff took that as an attack upon their work family, rallying them to complete the ceremony with honor.
By the time we saw the Dundies a second time, Michael was in the process of passing the torch to Deangelo Vickers, and the ceremony had evolved so much since we had last seen it… fancy restaurant, everyone dressed up… It even had a pre-filmed opening ceremony. Michael treated it as special because he was celebrating his employees (and living out his Hollywood dreams, but at least it was for staff morale), who by then cherished (or increasingly tolerated) the annual event. They were feting the very family they had become at the office. But Deangelo couldn’t handle the pressure of the annual employee appreciation ceremony, which strongly foreshadowed his fate. Ultimately, however, it was demonstrative of how much Michael loved Dunder-Mifflin and all of his employees, and they him.
So with that we give this special Dundie to the, um, Dundies, for celebrating us, the common office worker. We raise our second drink to you, after which we will no doubt be thrown out for being belligerent and drunk, but loved.
We got some burning questions answered today at ABC’s Once Upon a Time in Wonderland panel, a show that asks: “What happened to that girl when she grew up? How did those adventures affect her?” According to the trailer, stuck in an insane asylum and in love with a genie. Oof.
Here’s what we learned:
- Once Upon a Time in Wonderland will exist concurrently with the Once Upon a Time (OUAT) universe but will stand alone with its own mythology. Barbara Hershey will be back in flashbacks as the Red Queen.
- Alice’s home isn’t in real Victorian England - that’d be impossible, since she’s living concurrently with modern-day Storybrooke from OUAT. She’s from a fictional Victorian England that’s a land of story - much like the other lands visited on OUAT.
- Sebastian Stan fans should be bummed: He has an open door to reprise his OUAT role as the Mad Hatter, but his schedule (Captain America, anybody?) will probably not allow him to return. Everybody’s just as disappointed as you are. However, “We’re never going to have a Mad Hatter that’s not played by Sebastian,” says EP Edward Kitsis (the self-proclaimed President of the Sebastian Stan Fan Club.) “We’d move heaven and earth to let him come back.”
- John Lithgow will play the white rabbit. Yep. An Roger Daltrey will be back as the hookah-smoking caterpillar.
- Alice had a terrible childhood and was often ignored, which is why “she’s trying to prove to her father that this is real to win his love.”
- This version of Alice is kind of a badass. “She’s tough, mentally and physically. She can kick ass and look after herself,” says star Sophie Lowe. “We never meant for her to be a damsel in distress,” say the EPs. “We like the idea that she’s going back down the rabbit hole, sword in hand, to find her man.” Sound Snow White-ish to you?
He can’t be really mean because, you know, we’re kids.
Sarah from Masterchef Junior, which is a show that’s about to happen on television in America in a few weeks. She’s talking about Gordon Ramsay, who’s hosting it. He’ll also be hosting Adult Legends of the Hidden Temple, where the Shrine of the Silver Monkey is made of knives and every contestant goes deep into unshakable debt then dies in a Motel 6.
Very occasionally someone’s on the show who I haven’t met before, and it’s a revelation. She is vulnerable, fearless. She’s absolutely one of the most likeable performers I’ve seen in a long career in television.
