NCIS: Tony & Ziva is a Paramount+ action-drama and the latest spinoff in the long-running NCIS franchise, reuniting two of the mothership series' most beloved characters. Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo reprise their roles as Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David, the will-they-won't-they fan favorites whose romance was one of the original show's defining threads. Created by John McNamara, the series finally reunites the pair years after each departed the flagship show.
The story finds Tony raising the couple's daughter, Tali, while running a security company in Paris. When he comes under attack, Tony and Ziva are thrown back together and forced to go on the run across Europe, trying to uncover who is targeting them while navigating their complicated history as parents and partners. The result blends globe-trotting, espionage-tinged action with the character-driven banter that made the duo so popular.
Premiering on Paramount+ in September 2025, the series capitalized on years of fan demand for a Tony and Ziva reunion and extended the NCIS brand into serialized, internationally set storytelling. Filmed in Europe, it leans on the star chemistry of Weatherly and de Pablo to carry a fresh chapter in one of television's most durable franchises. NCIS: Tony & Ziva streams on Paramount+.
Long before the advent of The Glass House on TV screens CBS has warned ABC not to air this reality show, which was too similar to Big Brother, in their point of view. Notwithstanding this fact, ABC has released The Glass House on primetime and CBS filed the long-promised lawsuit against them. Fortunately, while the monsters of big TV are fighting, we have a chance to compare these TV shows and make our own mind on whether they are similar or not. At the first glance they are: same cameras-wired houses, same teams of contestants performing very stupid and not so much tasks, sometimes squabbling, wrangling bullying and sparring with each other to the audience sweetest delight. However, when you take a closer look on this so-called Big Brother rip-off you will probably notice some differences. First of all, all the contestants going to be eliminated from the show go to Limbo, where they wait for America's decision whether they will stay or abandon the game. The second difference is more significant and literally determinative: almost all the things contestants do in the show is determines by voting of the audience. To underline this, all means all: audience decides what the participants have to eat and wear today, what they have to do and how they should act to win the viewers' gratitude. The third difference is, there are no players deciding whether to eliminate somebody or no, everything depends of audience decision. It's a weird thing but the absence of need to eliminate your "fiends" does not have any positive impact on contestants' virtues. We see the same "douchbaggery" and painful "obnoxiousty" of the people are blooming, and maybe this is the most principal similarity between The Glass House and Big Brother. Evidently the CBS lawyers could use this fact to file their suit.
One of the funniest talk shows released in 2012, Comedy Bang! Bang! owes its success a long history of weekly comedy audio podcast, which began in 2009 and was originated from Comedy Death-Ray stage talk show performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Hollywood. The person which is standing behind this success is an American writer and comedian Scott Aukerman, who started in 1990s in HBO's sketch comedy Mr. Show with Bob and David. Apperently, te seeds of great headway were laid in the fertile ground in these fabulous times and now we have one of the must-watched comedy shows on IFC which gone far away in success from its pursuer Bunk, which seems to be much less entertaining though has lots similar of similarities with Comedy Bang! Bang! Nevertheless Scott Aukerman continues to amuse the audience with uncommon tricks like strange persons falling out from the blue and talking to host and his guest before going nowhere. Aukerman's guests deserves some special attention: at the first look they are common Hollywood celebrities, like Amy Poehler or Zach Galifianakis but something in the way the host introduces them and is talking to them makes whole performance incredibly ludicrous. That's maybe a secret of a true master comedian.
If you have missed a chance to be hooked up with Gilmore Gilrs, the new ABC's dramedy Bunheads is exactly what you need. The first episode of Bunheads has left such a feeling that if there were a little bit more of GG-like moments in Bunheads, the CW lawyers would inevitably file the suit against ABC. And that is not surprisingly taking into consideration the fact that the TV show was created by the same Amy Sherman-Palladino who created splendid Gilmore Gilrs. It is felt throughout the sharp dialogs, giddy repartees, deeply portrayed personalities and perfectly constructed dance scenes. The astonishing dancing ingredient of the Bunheads, is of course not only the personal merit of Sherman-Palladino, but Sutton Foster and Kelly Bishop. Both of them have quite serious dancing background. Another Sutton's and Kelly's merit is drollery atmosphere which these two awesome women create around themselves. Kelly plays Fanny Flowers, a small town dance studio owner, while Sutton portrays Michelle Simms, a cute dancer being caught in the lower point of the career, when series of questionable decisions had led her out of Las Vegas dancing scenes to small rural town Paradise, California where she met Fanny. There are more pry personalities in the series like talented and perfectly shaped Sasha (Julia Goldani Telles) and purposeful Bettina, aka Boo (Kaitlyn Jenkins). All the characters feature inexpressible chemistry between each other, and the spirit of the show is sweet, pleasurable and cuddlesome.
Would you mind speed-dating in the jungle on self-made rafts sailing down the crocodile-infested river? If you like these adrenaline-stuffed romantic adventures you will probably be hooked by Love in the Wild. However, to say the truth, you will have to sufficiently lower the acceptable level of stupidity, ridiculousness and affectedness. Otherwise you will be a little bit surprised by how this TV show was made. The anticipated symbiosis of The Amazing Race and The Bachelor Pad turned out to be just a bunch of meaningless quests on pseudo-romantic substrate. The only thing that saves this show is the fact that producers seem to be not taking the entire stuff too seriously. For instance, who will take seriously somebody whining about person whining about ants? As for series rules there are lots of advantages to form a loyal couple. Even if you are finishing last, there is a good chance to stay in the game in case if some partners in other couple will broke up and will not find any other contestant to partner with. In this situation they will end up in the Single Area from where they, most likely, will be eliminated. Such breaking ups are happening from time to time just because betrayal could be advantageous too: not because you are falling in love with somebody from the other couple, but on case if last-place couple member will accept a switch request in order to secure staying in the game. In opposite to the actions taking in the show, the rules are only intriguing elements in Love in the Wild. But do not forget the surrounding nature -it's beautiful and, furthermore, it's filmed magnificently. And maybe it's only the advantage saving this dating reality TV show for the next seasons.
Those who ever watched Idioracy (2006) are aware of the future of television and the appearance of IFC's Bunk will not be in surprise for them. Rest of the people should know this kind of comedy reality series will be dominating till times when everyone would think it's normal to invent a new family-friendly look of David's genital on Michelangelo's masterpiece. Yes it was one of the idiotic contest of second episode of Bunk where two "professional" "comedians" (it's not a coincidence nor mistype that two of words are quoted) fight for ambiguous prizes like "Super Powers", "Universal Alibi" etc. performing silly tasks like "to shame a baby". The series was produced by Kurt Braunohler, an American comedian which is known to us by his roles in Delocated, The Heart, She Holler, Comedy at the Fringe, Jon Benjamin Has a Van and Comedy Lab.
Alcohol, sex and partying, partying and more partying" this is the main appeal of The Catalina, a CW television reality show about work days and nights of same name Miami party-hotel. Concerning the level of vulgar jokes, demeaning situations, offensive remarks and drunken people talks this show seems to be on the hair's width above the another remarkable sex&alcohol reality series Jersey Shore produced by MTV. From this point of view The Catalina looks like CW marketing answer to MTV's domination in the humanity moronizing niche. Dramatis Personae of The Catalina could be characterized as "one is better than another". Let's start with the pool bartender couple Kris and Nancy. The first one calls himself as "a big ball of horny energy" and the second one, his ex-girlfriend is always jealous about his penis. As we moving further, we see Morgan a Polish restaurant manager. She hates everyone in the mile radius and describes the rest of the staff as ""¦they are all very stupid." She regularly yells at Eyal, her bartender an Israeli bisexual, who seems to be happy with this "relationships." His sobriquet Gayal, was given to him by their boss, Nathan, who represents the top of this Sodom and Gomorrah. His most remarkable singularity lies in the spraying the fountains of champagne over the guests and staff.
If you ever thought that there are enough dating-related TV game-shows, the brand new-fresh-UK-imported Take Me Out has to discourage you. This another "The Bachelor-like" television show has shown a great success in Australia and UK. Now Take Me Out has approached USA. The show is hosted by George Lopez who often looks like a little bit embarrassed by stupid around-the-sex jokes and idiotic commentaries of participants. Nevertheless he tries to keep in line, sometimes playing up with some jests like "Let the hot dog see his buns!" Tremendously popular among the teenagers (guess why) Take Me Out features strict, simple and ingenuous scenario: 30 women vote for guys by turning off the lights (if they don't like him) and leaving the lights on. In short "no lighty, no likey." While women are voting the guy is trying the expose himself in favorable light dancing to the music of his own selection. In which connection, it looks as silly as sounds. If this act of self-exposing will not divert all the women, the next stage will surely will do. After the "dance", guys undergo the question asking where their true nature has more chances to climb out. This is where the fun begins "“ you should definitely hear these passages. Even if you absolutely hating that kind of series, you have to hold back yourself from turning the TV off "“ only just to hear what they are saying at the end of their misfortunate way.
Loveable yet entertaining Dogs in the City, shows how the issues with bad behaving pets could be solved when both dogs and owners are involved in the process. Justin Silver is the dog expert living in the New York City trains and retrains stubborn and sometimes aggressive dogs and what is the most important brings the relationships within "pet & owners" system in the order. It's not as easy as it could be imagined: sometimes the real root of the problem lies not in the dog bad behavior but in owners misunderstanding of animal psychology. This issue often leads to troubles which could be characterized as "who is in charge?" problem. However, besides these serious aspects of pet upbringing there are lots of funny situations especially when Justin starts to talk with dogs in somewhat tet-a-tet style. These dialogs will chiefly entertain you even if you are not ardent dog lover at all.
Another one in a row of glamorous reality TV shows from BRAVO, Pregnant in Hills is revolving around quite enthusiastic and somewhat aesthetic self-made business-woman running her own business, a super-fashionable boutique for multi-millionaire mother-to-be, which is located in the Upper East Side. Her name is Rosie Pope, she is 32 and expecting her third baby. A poetess, writer, linguist, and social media expert, now she hosts her own TV show despite his American-British accents with a light lisp, which was mocked and spoofed in the latest SNL, to say the true this fact made her even more popular. The question is what kind of popularity it was. But, nevertheless, Rosie continues to teach pregnant women of all kinds (while they rich, of course) how to manage their fears about babies breaking the rules of their jet-setting life. If you are not pregnant, and not a woman at all, do not hurry to put an end on Pregnant in Hills. By and large, it's very funny to watch Pope trying to help in choosing that kind of name for the son of deep-pocketed New-Yorkers, which do not obscure his chances to become a politician. For those who are not pregnant and cannot brag enough sense of humor to find some amusement in this kind of scenes, watching this reality series is strictly forbidden.
The second in row franchise of Housewives, The Real Housewives of New York City is a spin-off of The Real Housewives of Orange County stared in 2008. In the nutshell of this reality TV series lays on simple idea: to show real live of rich women in some way everybody wants to see it. They are rich; some of them own their business, as Ramona Singer who runs clothes wholesale company RMS Fashions and skin care brand TruRenewal. Unlike the others wives both current and former, she and Heather Thomson are the only real businesswomen in series. The rest of them are musicians (as LuAnn de Lesseps), writers (Sonja Morgan), journalists (Carole Radziwill) and just rich woman (Aviva Drescher). You can hardly find the differences between "New York City" housewives and other spin-offs like "New Jersey", "Beverly Hills" and "Orange County". However, if you like this kind of reality television you will definitely find The Real Housewives of New York City notably entertaining.
