'SNL' takes on the NFL and all its problems twice and rips off 'Key and Peele'

20 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

The NFL is going through, arguably, its most scandal plagued period of the 21st Century.  The separate Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice cases have dominated the media landscape over the past few weeks and "SNL" was not going to return without weighing in.  Not only was it the subject of the show's cold open, but a second skit appeared later on as the writers made it clear the league's reaction has not been acceptable. In the first skit, Chris Pratt portrays as a bumbling NFL Commissioner Roger  Goodell who thanks controversial Washington Redskin's owner Daniel Snyder, Michael Vick and Saints Coach Sean Payton "for not holding me to the same standard I held him. I appreciate it."  The best parts? Aidy Bryant's continuing spot-on impersonation of CNN's Candy Crowley and Jay Pharoah's just as great Shannon Sharpe. Check it out below. The second skit really feels like »

'The Simpsons'/'Family Guy' crossover is one of the most fascinatingly weird things to ever happen to television

49 minutes ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »

The first thing to remember when you watch the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover is that it is an episode of Family Guy. This is when you groan, because Family Guy is an unoriginal rip-off of The Simpsons that retells tired old gags with an ironic approach. Or maybe you cheer, because you’re over The Simpsons: It hasn’t even been good in 13 years. Those aren’t my opinions. Those are the implicit opinions of the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover–or at least, those explicit self-mocking assertions are how “The Simpsons Guy” portrays every possible critique you could have about the two shows. »

It certainly met mine. I found the Griffins’ visit to Springfield to be a bizarre-yet-perfect marriage, one that taught us all a valuable lesson: Despite their inherent similarities, it’s Ok to love both shows for (very) different reasons.

So, without further Apu, here are 10 moments that stuck out to me — for better or worse — from the premiere: »

1 hour ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »

Warning: This story contains spoilers from Once Upon a Time’s season four premiere. Read at your own risk.

Move over, Frozen: Once Upon a Time has introduced yet another Disney property into the mix.

When the ABC fairy tale drama returned for its fourth season, Rumple (Robert Carlyle) and Belle (Emilie de Ravin) missed out on the chaos of Elsa’s arrival in Storybrooke proper because they decided to take a small honeymoon in a mansion that conveniently appeared in town after the last curse. The identity of the previous owner is unclear, but Rumple definitely recognized an artifact in the dwelling, »

'Simpsons' producer talks character's death in premiere

2 hours ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »

[Spoiler Alert: Do not read until you have watched Sunday night's episode of The Simpsons, titled “Clown in the Dumps.”]

Say a prayer — Jewish, preferably—for Rabbi Hyman Krustofski, who passed away Sunday night on the season premiere of The Simpsons. The stern, principled father of Krusty the Clown (voiced by Jackie Mason, who won an Emmy in 1992  for the role), expired while telling his down-and-out son who was in the throes of a comedy career crisis, “If you want to know my honest opinion of you, you’ve always been… eh.” The poignant father-child story, which prompted Lisa to fret that Homer would be next to go, ended a yearlong mystery over which character would meet his/her demise. »

Gotham Exclusive: Carol Kane on Playing the Penguin's Mom and Loving a Monster

2 hours ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »

Anyone who watched the first episode of Fox's Gotham could make the argument that James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is actually responsible for turning low-level thug Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) into the man who will eventually become the Penguin. 

But did Oswald's descent into evil start before he was marched to the end of that Gotham City pier at gunpoint? On Monday's episode (8/7c, Fox) viewers will meet Oswald's mother, a European immigrant named Gertrude Kabelput — and in a brilliant bit of casting, she'll be played by Oscar nominee and two-time Emmy winner Carol Kane
