Don't worry because it's just the hilarious and whimsical Ghosts of the Woodstone B&b.
This charming remake of a British series features an amazing cast of characters from different decades and centuries who mingle in the afterlife.
Married couple Sam and Jay think all their problems are solved when Sam's great aunt passes away, leaving her a beautiful country mansion.

Where does the time go? It feels like only yesterday that Taskmaster’s series 17 contestants first appeared in the studio, shakily establishing their pecking order, testing out their rudeness vs sucking-up strategy when it came to Lord Greg Davies, and shifting nervously in their seats as they wondered which of their psychological breakdowns had made the edit. Now, they’ve all grown-up and left home, leaving five empty chairs waiting for the next set of bums to warm them.
Those bums, and the comedians attached to them, have now been officially announced. Competing for the head of the Taskmaster in series 18 will be: Andy Zaltzman, Babatunde Aléshé, Emma Sidi, Jack Dee and Rosie Jones.
Here’s a little bit of info about each of them.

This past season of hit shows was heavily dominated by the CBS network, with multiple series like Tracker and Elsbeth making headlines across the television airways.
Ghosts is definitely in good company. There are so many great shows to watch back to back, especially with so many series on hiatus now that we're entering the summer months.
Season 3 of this whimsically funny show has come and gone, and viewers are likely already chomping at the bit for the next season—and we don't blame them after that epic cliffhanger in the finale.
What is Ghosts about?
The series revolves around Sam and Jay, a married couple from NYC who learn that Sam's late great-aunt recently passed away. Since Sam is the last living heir, she inherits her aunt's big countryside mansion.
Filled with hope for a new life, the couple moves in to renovate the home into a B&b business.

Though the sitcom genre had its renaissance back in the 2000s, when people were glued to their screens to watch another episode of Friends or The Office, there are still a few shows that rival them.
From the supernatural comedy Ghosts to the recently completed Big Bang Theory prequel Young Sheldon, there are enough shows to keep everyone entertained. However, if you tend to dislike the newer shows and think the humor is mostly lost these days, Netflix has a great surprise for you. Just watch out for the ending of this series.
How Did How I Met Your Mother End?
The CBS sitcom hit premiered in 2005 and ran for 9 seasons, ending in 2014. The show followed the main character, Ted Mosby, as he told his children a long and twisted story about how he met their mother in his youth. Though the answer may have seemed obvious throughout the show,...

Quarterly losses shrank at Lionsgate and revenues climbed as the company’s television business rebounded from the twin strikes that had shut down production for much of 2023.
Revenue at the company behind “The Hunger Games” and “John Wick” franchises topped out at $1.12 billion for the three-month period ending in March, up from $1.08 billion in the prior-year quarter. Lionsgate also reported a net loss attributable to shareholder of $39.5 million, which compared favorably to the prior-year quarterly losses of $96.8 million. It recorded a loss of 22 cent per-share for the period. In the year-ago quarter, Lionsgate had per-share losses of 42 cents. Lionsgate’s revenues beat Wall Street estimates of $1.11 billion.
The earnings report comes after Lionsgate Studios debuted as a standalone public entity on May 14, trading as a single class of stock under the Nasdaq ticker symbol Lion — a step toward the full separation of its studio business and Starz. Through the merger...

The Call of Duty franchise has thrived on intense first-person, action-packed gameplay for years. However, one entry dared to stray from the norm, introducing an experimental gameplay perspective that somewhat divided the fanbase.
Call of Duty: Ghosts is, of course, the game in question. The game put players in control of Riley, a German Shepherd dog, for one level in the campaign. Here’s why the upcoming Black Ops 6 could benefit from a similarly wacky mechanic.
Some Players Didn’t Like Playing As Riley Initially Riley’s inclusion as a playable character was met with some hesitation | Activision
While the “play as a dog” level in Ghosts was met with criticism from some, it garnered largely positive reception from the majority of players. Looking ahead, though, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 presents an opportunity to revisit the concept of non-human playable characters, building upon the foundation laid by Ghosts.

Julio Torres is stepping into a very literal and gender-swapped “Girl With a Pearl Earring” rendition for HBO.
The “Los Espookys” creator is back at the network with new surreal series “Fantasmas,” which he created, directed, and stars in. The series debuted at the Atx TV Festival earlier this year.
Torres plays a fictionalized version of himself as he tries to uncover a lost gold oyster earring. In his search to find the precious object, Torres’ character Julio reflects on the offbeat folks he encounters in introspective, eerie, and comedic vignettes set in a dreamy, alternate version of New York City. The surreal series is billed as a “fantastical six-part tale” that is a “kaleidoscope of color” to “weave together stories of people looking for meaning, purpose, and connection in an increasingly isolating world.”
In addition to Torres, the cast includes Martine Gutierrez, Tomas Matos, and Joe Rumrill as the voice of Bibo.

Comedy producers have been told to locate their “funny bones” when pitching shows to the BBC by the most powerful person in British comedy commissioning.
Jon Petrie, who runs BBC comedy, set out his “firmly sitcoms first” stall in a speech this morning in Glasgow.
He urged producers to “send us less shows that are ‘an exploration’ of something and more that know where their funny bones are,” citing the likes of Ghosts, Motherland and Two Doors Down as examples of the “comedy first proposals” he is after.
Petrie has not held back on his desire for sitcoms since taking on the job a couple of years ago and announced a raft of new and returning shows this morning at the BBC Comedy Festival.
But he said his team is “not getting pitched enough of the comedy we need to keep people happy” and is instead over-stocked with dramedies, which...

Concluding its inaugural season on Sunday, May 19, CBS’ “Tracker” has formally emerged as the #1 non-sports program on all of television for the 2023-2024 season, Nielsen reported on Wednesday.
Averaging 11.58 million viewers when factoring in Live+7 days of viewing, “Tracker” now ranks as the first new series since the 2000 launch of “Survivor” to rank as the #1 non-sports show.

On average, the show is adding +3.4 million viewers over its Live+Same Day average, attracting more DVR playback than any other primetime series.
In addition to being the #1 non-sports show of the season, “Tracker” is also the most-watched new series launch among Total Viewers to claim the title since the debut of “Desperate Housewives” during the 2004-2005 television season – the ABC series averaged 23.7 million viewers.

Season 2 of Ghosts ended with a big cliffhanger (the question of which character got “sucked off,” which is the supernatural comedy’s term for heading off into the afterlife), so when showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman set their sights on Season 3, they knew they’d have to focus a lot of time crafting the details around the previous finale while leaving space to move the rest of the story forward within a compressed season. “We have 10 regulars, so we wanted to make sure that everyone was highlighted in at least one episode,” Wiseman said in a recent THR Presents panel, powered by Vision Media. Adds Port: “It’s a good problem to have that we have such a talented cast.”

From one 1999 horror remake to another. After rewatching The Haunting with eyes that were both more critical and 25 years older, it got me thinking about the other remake that came out that year. One that was a remake of a far sillier movie and that was the first effort from a new studio, namely Dark Castle Entertainment. The original was from a far less dark castle in that of schlock and gimmick purveyor William Castle and it starred Vincent Price as a man offering strangers money to stay in an allegedly haunted house for a night. While The Haunting failed on multiple levels to improve with age, how does House on Haunted Hill (watch it Here) look after a quarter of a century? Does its cheesy yet graphic tone feel at home in the time of A24 and elevated horror or should it forfeit its 1 million dollar check and leave the cursed grounds forever.

There’s no doubt that Call of Duty has prevailed at the forefront of the Fps Genre since its release in 2003. Activision has created an impressive list of titles in the past two decades, but the franchise’s current state is quite questionable. The release of Modern Warfare (MW3) was a frustrating experience for many fans. Despite the good combat system, the lack of a good campaign and post-launch content has left the CoD franchise needing a big jump start.
Rumors are circulating about the future of the Call of Duty franchise, as the next major release, which is reported to be Black Ops: Gulf War, might be announced much sooner than expected. Whatever the next game becomes, it surely needs this one multiplayer feature from an 11-year-old canceled CoD game to get the franchise back on track.

Not Dead Yet was canceled after the second season, and this network's decision probably resonates with the impressions of most fans. While the first season drew viewers to their screens thanks to a successful mix of personal stories of the characters and a supernatural aspect with ghosts from obituaries, the second season disappointed many fans – it became a workplace sitcom and lost almost all of its charm.
But for Not Dead Yet fans, it's not time to get upset yet – because there is another sitcom about spirits that, let's face it, is superior to the series with Gina Rodriguez in every way. And this series is Ghosts.

The plot of Ghosts revolves around an old mansion that is unexpectedly inherited by the main characters – a couple from New York. The initial joy at the sudden gift of fate is replaced by an unexpected circumstance – the house...

Jackson had an unfulfilled dream of being an actor. But his acting ability wasn’t completely untested.

Comedy has also long been a haven for ghosts. Not Dead Yet gained popularity thanks to its premise – the woman starts working as an obituary writer and begins to see the ghosts of the people she writes about.
Not Dead Yet Season 1 Was a Perfect Mix of Supernatural with Personal Stories…
Not Dead Yet followed the successful formula in its first season, which is why fans loved it – the characters were well thought out, their motivations were reasonable, and the ghosts were not just an enticing element for fans of supernatural projects, but actually enriched the story and moved it forward.
The result? 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and unconditional love from fans.
…But Season 2 Ditched That Formula

…But Season 2 Ditched That Formula

Looking at the crop of new scripted series selected by the broadcast networks for 2024-25, one cannot help but reminisce about the 20th anniversary of what may have been broadcast television’s greatest season ever.
The 2004-05 season introduced several genre-defying series — all but one based on original ideas — whose impact on TV storytelling is still being felt: Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, House, The Office and Veronica Mars. Remarkably, one of them, Grey’s Anatomy is still around, having just been renewed by ABC for Season 21, along with another show that premiered that same season, animated comedy American Dad!.
Aside from the fact that the current economic realities of the TV business will likely never support another drama going to 21 seasons, broadcast networks will also likely never take chances on so many unconventional ideas: a sci-fi drama on a deserted island that set the tone for modern genre fare, a...

The season 3 finale left fans wondering whether they’ll ever see Isaac Higgintoot again and whether or not they’ll finally meet Patience.
