When Alita (Rosa Salazar) awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not recognize, she is taken in by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate doctor who realizes that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past.

If she can stay out of their grasp, she could be the key to saving her friends, her family and the world she’s grown to love.

COOL KIDS Make Grade for FOX
October 6, 2018 in NEWS, TV/INTERNET
Starring legendary comedians David Alan Grier, Leslie Jordan, Vicki Lawrence and Martin Mull, THE COOL KIDS on FOX Television promises to take us comedy lovers on a joy ride of laughter and fun.
“The Cool Kids” is a comedy about a rowdy, rag-tag group of friends living in a retirement community who are willing to break every rule to have fun, because, at their age, what do they really have to lose?
Hank (David Alan Grier) a gruff, opinionated, 21st-century Archie Bunker who will go to any lengths to have a good time, is the leader of this motley crew. His loyal — but less than helpful — friends include Charlie (Martin Mull ), a bumbling storyteller who constantly goes off on tangents about some bizarre and barely believable episodes from his life; and Sid (Leslie Jordan), a nay-saying, pill-popping hypochondriac who shoots down every scheme but still gets roped in.
Complicating matters is Margaret (Vicki Lawrence), a brash, confident woman who forces her way into their group and refuses to leave because she’s not going to take crap from anyone — especially not these three. But what unites them all is their shared belief that they’re not done yet — not by a long shot. Growing old with dignity is for chumps.

More topical than ever before, Tracey Ullman satirizes today’s culture, including television’s latest obsession with strong but messy female characters, the future possibilities for smart-home devices, life in a post-Brexit world and the absurdity of the 24-hour news cycle.

Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is a good-natured, professional conflict negotiator. When his wife, Gemma (Beth Behrs), gets a job as a school principal in L.A., they move from Michigan with their young son, Grover (Hank Greenspan), unfazed that their new dream home is located in a community quite different from their small town. Their opinionated next-door neighbor, Calvin Butler (Cedric The Entertainer), is wary of the newcomers, certain that the Johnsons will disrupt the culture on the block.
However, Calvin’s gracious wife, Tina (Tichina Arnold), rolls out the welcome wagon; their chipper younger son, Marty (Marcel Spears), thinks the Johnsons could be good for the community; and their unemployed older son, Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney), finds Dave may finally be someone who understands him.
Dave realizes that fitting into their new community is more complex than he expected, but if he can find a way to connect with Calvin, they have an excellent chance of making their new neighborhood their home.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD will premiere Monday, October 1st (8:00-8:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Dirty-talking puppets are nothing new; a history of Vegas entertainments would turn up dozens if not hundreds, and the recent Broadway hit “Avenue Q” has proven that they WORK, or can work. “The Happytime Murders” is an indirect outgrowth of Henson’s “Puppet Up!”…
