Despite glowing reviews, Brooklyn Nine-Nine never lived up to its rating potential during its run on Fox, but it’s getting a second chance now that it’s been picked up by NBC. For fans, it was a pretty tense few days last May while the show was in cancellation limbo, but for the show’s star, Andy Samberg, things weren’t quite as dire. The whole time, he felt pretty confident that the show would be back somehow, somewhere. (Click on the media bar below to hear Andy Samberg)

The world lost a legend this week with the passing of Stan Lee. In a career that lasted nearly 80 years, Lee created enough characters to populate an entire universe — the Marvel Universe, that is. Writing his first professional comic book story when he was just 18 years old, Lee honed his craft for more than 30 years before giving life to his most famous characters, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, and the X-Men. We spoke to Lee on many occasions, and he always found it difficult to believe that his creations have not only lasted, but grown even more popular, after all these decades.

Nobody expected Roseanne to come back after a 21-year break, but it did. It seemed just as unlikely that the show would continue after ABC dumped it following its star’s controversial Twitter rant. But it’s gotten yet another chance as The Conners, and Laurie Metcalf hopes the show’s viewers will stick with it, even after all of the changes, and she told us why she thinks they will.
