Dolly Parton’s upcoming special Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas will help ring in the holiday season on Thursday, December 1, 2022. The movie musical airs at 8pm ET/PT on NBC and will feature special guests Willie Nelson, Billy Ray Cyrus, Jimmie Allen, Zach Williams, and Miley Cyrus, joining the iconic superstar for some lighthearted fun.

The film’s cast includes Tom Everett Scott, Angel Parker, Ana Gasteyer, Mary Lane Haskell, Bryan Batt, and Brendan Bradley. John Newberg, Rachel Parton George, Cassie Parton Griffith, Rhoda Griffis, Liam Rauhoff, and Steve Summers also star.

Joe Lazarov directed from a screenplay by David Rambo. Lazarov, Rambo, Dolly Parton, Sam Haskell, and Hudson Hickman executive produced, and Billy Levin and Steve Summers served as producers. Emmy winner Kathryn Burns provided the choreography along with assistant choreographer David Hull.

NBC offered this official description of the plot:

“A modern-day movie musical about the making of a network TV special, Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas is the frenetic backstage story and delightful on-camera results of Dolly’s desire to uplift an exhausted world’s spirits by sharing the unique mountain magic she has always found in and around Dollywood at Christmas. Throughout the movie’s production numbers and rehearsal chaos, Dolly finds herself taking a private journey into her past, guided by the mysterious appearances of her personal Three Wise Mountain Men.

When it’s time for her big special to air, a renewed and inspired Dolly goes rogue and shows the world that the real magic of Christmas lies in the hearts of the children we all once were, the realization that Christmas is about the people we share it with, and how her faith remains the common thread between Christmases past, present, and future.

The film will include a pair of Dolly’s iconic songs (‘9 to 5’ and ‘I Will Always Love You’) as well as a new holiday melody. In all, there are numerous songs that capture the spirit of Christmas and the importance of gathering with family during the holidays.”

The wait for the next BTS member to release a solo project is over! It was announced on October 19, 2022 via Weverse that Jin from the Grammy-nominated group BTS was about to release the solo song “The Astronaut.” The single dropped at midnight Eastern time today and was accompanied by a music video.

“The Astronaut” is described by Big Hit Music as a pop-rock genre song co-written by Coldplay, with the GRAMMY award-winning band also playing on the recording. On October 27, Coldplay gave a sneak peek of the song via their official social media channels, raising the anticipation level of its release among BTS’s fans.

“The Astronaut” music video stars Jin as an alien who resides on Earth after his ship crash lands. One day, he spots a mysterious beam guiding him back to his crashed spaceship and beckoning him home. Jin becomes determined to return to his home planet and makes his way through the city and into a rural area where horses are more common than cars.

On his way to the spaceship, fond memories of his time on Earth flash through his mind. The video ends on a heartwarming note, with Jin deciding to remain on Earth and stay with his loved ones, eventually finding his “true” home.

Coldplay’s Chris Martin appears briefly in the music video as a news reporter delivering breaking news.

Margaret turns to a podcaster for help on CBS’s So Help Me Todd season one episode six, “So Help Me Pod.” Directed by Randy Zisk from a script by April Fitzsimmons, episode six is set to air on Thursday, November 3, 2022 at 9pm ET/PT.

Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden stars as Margaret Wright, Skylar Astin plays Todd Wright, and Tristen J. Winger is Lyle. Madeline Wise plays Allison, Inga Schlingmann is Susan, and Rosa Arredondo stars as Francey.

Vella Lovell, Thomas Cadrot, Milagros Vidal, Ava Colorado, and Darren Dolynski guest star.

The Plot:

Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin star as razor-sharp, meticulous attorney Margaret Wright (Harden) and Todd (Astin), her talented but scruffy, aimless son whom she hires as her law firm’s in-house investigator. As the black sheep of the well-heeled Wright family, Todd is a laidback, quick-thinking, excellent former private detective who fell on hard times after his flexible interpretation of the law got his license revoked. Margaret’s penchant for excellence and strict adherence to the law is at complete odds with Todd’s scrappy methods of finding his way through sticky situations: by the seat of his wrinkled pants.

When Todd inadvertently teams with his mother on a case, she’s surprised to find herself duly impressed by – and proud of – his crafty ability to sleuth out information with his charm and his wide-ranging tech savvy. At last, Margaret sees a way to put her son on a “suitable” path to living an adult, financially solvent life she approves of, and she asks him to join her firm. Todd agrees since it means getting his license back and once again doing the job he excels at and loves.

Mother and son working together is a big first step toward mending their fragile, dysfunctional relationship, and they may even come away with a better understanding of each other at this pivotal point in their lives. But whether Todd and Margaret will be able to accept each other for who they are is another case entirely.

Ghosts Season 2 Episode 6 — Roman Zaragoza as Sasappis, Richie Moriarty as Pete and Rebecca Wisocky as Hetty in ‘Ghosts’ season 2 episode 6 (Photo: Bertrand Calmeau © 2022 CBS Broadcasting, Inc.)

The Plot:

Ghosts is a single-camera comedy about Samantha and Jay, a cheerful freelance journalist and up-and-coming chef from the city, respectively, who threw both caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a huge rundown country estate they inherited into a bed & breakfast – only to find it was inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home. The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer (Pinnock); a pompous 18th-century militiaman (Jones); a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens (Carrasco); an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader (Moriarty); a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009 (Devon Chandler Long); a slick ‘90s finance bro (Grodman); a sarcastic and witty native from the 16th-century (Zaragoza); and a society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron who is Samantha’s ancestor (isocky), to name a few.

The opening of the B&B is a source of intrigue, anxiety, and curiosity among the spirits, but they’ll gladly put up with the commotion as long as they can continue to interact with a living inhabitant – Samantha.
