We need to talk about the emotional climax in Tuesday's #WillTrent. Not the impromptu wedding, but an even more intimate scene that preceded it.

First, they replace him in the Good Will Hunting sitcom. Then the Patriots lose. A double whammy!

This year's Super Bowl has already given us singing toilets and singing pubic hair.

I'm torn. The fact that she has continued to defend the man is... a choice. But the show is also historic, and among the best ever made.

It really all does pay off, though. For the most part. The final season is a gift for your commitment to the preceding 14 seasons.

TVLine has already counted down the five best Super Bowl commercials of 2026 — because, for whatever reason, they're all released early.

Now it's time to look at the ads that, if they had to see the light of day, maybe should've remained under lock and key until America was a few beers deep.

There's a LOT of trauma from here on out. But I think once your brain sort of... recalibrates, it works. There are definitely moments of levity moving forward, but yes, it also leans into the soapiness going forward. I don't know if this helps, but I'd encourage you to stick with it.
