Though Rickety Cricket, The Waitress and The Lawyer are the most common targets for the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia gang’s horrifying antics, they aren’t afraid to branch out, terrorizing any character — or celebrity guest star — that dares to step foot inside Paddy’s Pub.

On Friday, user takenolsolatunji headed to the show’s subreddit with a question for fans of the long-running series: Which celebrity endured the most bullshit from Dennis, Dee, Charlie, Mac and Frank?

Despite including a screengrab of White Lotus star Alexandra Daddario during her stint as Ruby Taft, Charlie’s wealthy one-time girlfriend, fans were divided on who actually got it the worst during their time with the gang.

“Scott Bakula had his career mocked and then didn’t even get to leap,” argued jsilv0, referencing the Quantum Leap actor’s self-deprecating song in the first episode of Season 12.

Fans of 1980s and 90s sci-fi are in for a treat, as the Terminator franchise time travels to unexpected inspiration. Writer Declan Shalvey revealed to Dynamite Entertainment his upcoming comic series draws from the beloved TV show Quantum Leap.

Shalvey’s love of Quantum Leap is no secret – the writer envisioned pitching the property before this opportunity arose. “It’s Quantum Leap from hell,” he muses, blending the premise of involuntarily body-hopping through time with Terminator’s dystopian future war storyline.

Both franchises made meaningful marks exploring temporal mechanics. Quantum Leap saw protagonist Sam Beckett leaping into uncertain situations each week, striving to “put right what once went wrong.” Meanwhile, the Terminator films established a dynamic loop of fate and resistance across multiple timelines.

In the new series, malevolent AI SkyNet targets key figures throughout history. Mirroring Quantum Leap, Terminators will inhabit human forms while eliminating resistance ancestors. Readers can...

A new Terminator series from Dynamite Entertainment will see Skynet deploying Terminators across time to target resistance members' ancestors all across history. Writer Declan Shalvey drew inspiration from Quantum Leap for the Terminator series, creating a "Quantum Leap from hell" with time-traveling Terminators. Each issue of the new Terminator series will follow a different Terminator, promising unique stories of people facing relentless killing machines.

s a new era of Terminator begins, fans of '80s and '90s sci-fi have reason to hope that Quantum Leap might also get a new lease on life. In October, an ambitious new Terminator series from Dynamite Entertainment will unleash Skynet's most ambitious plan yet. Unable to stop John Connor before he forms the human resistance, Skynet is deploying Terminators across time, targeting not just future resistance members but their ancestors in a desperate Blitzkrieg of history.

Things are moving fast for Jenn Tran and some of her suitors. Sam Nejad chose to “bear his soul” during the last episode and confess his love for the Bachelorette lead, sparking some of the other men to make fun of him. Even Jenn Tran admitted that it felt “early” for him to make such a declaration.

However, promos for next week’s episode show her making a similar declaration to one of her suitors as another confesses he’s falling in love with her. Keep reading for more. It may surprise you to find out who Jenn Tran is falling for.

Elliana Walmsley, Kendall Vertes, Brynn Rumfallo, Camryn Bridges, Asia Monet, and Cheryl Burke are all former Dance Moms cast members, and they've all gone off on their own. They have pursued various careers in dance, acting, and other fields after leaving the show. Examples of their careers include dance instruction, Broadway, podcast co-hosting, social media influencing, and podcast hosting.

Dance Moms first premiered in 2011, and followed the lives of young dancers and their mothers while they competed and trained with coach Abby Lee Miller. Anyone who ever tuned in would know that it was not only about dancing but also drama. So much drama. But the reality TV series also enjoyed immense popularity. So much so that fans are still interested in what the stars of the show are up to these days.

A lot has changed in recent years for Abby Lee's dancers from Dance Moms. For starters,...

Exclusive: Boxing mother-and-son drama Undercard, starring comedian Wanda Sykes in her first big dramatic film role, has begun principal photography in Puerto Rico for Catalyst Studios.

Emmy Award-winning Sykes plays Cheryl “No Mercy” Stewart, a two-time former boxing champion and recovering alcoholic.

The movie follows her attempts to reconnect with 20-year-old son Keith, a talented but troubled young man, played by rising star Bentley Green (Heist 88), who has followed his mother’s footsteps into the boxing ring.

When Keith finds himself alone in his corner, because of his gambling-addicted trainer, he is forced to turn to his mother. Determined to right past wrongs, she embarks on a mission to train her son for glory in a World Championship title fight.

They are joined in the cast by William Stanford Davis (Abbott Elementary), Xavier Mills, Estella Kahiha, Berto Colon and Puerto Rican star Roselyn Sanchez.

Undercard marks the sixth production in two years for Catalyst Studios.

It is directed by Tamika Miller and co-written by Miller and Anita M. Cal.

The movie is billed as following in the tradition of Raging Bull, Million Dollar Baby and Creed, but with the story told through the eyes of the trainer.

“It is about the struggle and survival of the human spirit. Getting up when life does its best to knock you down. This powerful, moving story is a metaphor for our own challenges. And it shows Wanda like we have never seen her before,” said Catalyst Studios Chairperson Holly Anderson Levow.

“I’m thrilled to have this amazing cast bring Undercard to life, with Wanda leading the way in what I know will be a breathtaking performance,” said Miller.

Veteran producer Anne Clements along with local producers Frances Lausell and Andres Ramirez are overseeing production in Puerto Rico. Kim Coleman is Co-Producer. Sykes also serves as an executive producer.

The rock icon has been a long-time supporter of the work of the Good Shepherd, but has now stepped up his backing to become a patron, including supporting the creation of a new trainee scheme offering two paid trainee roles within the organisation for people with lived experience of homelessness and other issues.

These trainees have both been participants on the Good Shepherd’s Leap programme and these roles – embedded to support service users accessing the charity – form a key part of their recovery journey.

Robert has taken a keen interest in the long-standing Wolverhampton charity for many years, and invited representatives to have a presence at his concert at The Halls last December to raise awareness of their work, providing food...

“(Sam) awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better.”

With music!

Of all the ways Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) would leap into others lives to put right what once went wrong on Quantum Leap, the most stories were always ones that involved music. Scott Bakula can do pretty much anything but that man can Sing. The people behind Quantum Leap took great advantage of this and across five seasons they gave him (and other actors) the chance to belt out many incredible songs – some originally written for the show itself and some flawless covers.

Now we’re going through the best of the best of these performances. We’ll be looking at the original series, the 2022 continuation, and an extra gem along the way. To help narrow this list down,...

In a perfect world, Leap Day would entail some celebrations. Not to worry, though. This 30 Rock episode, starring an iconic Jim Carrey and Andie MacDowell cameo, has your back. Gear up for blue and yellow-themed festivities and, of course, a fictional movie that can give even Groundhog Day a run for its money! Be careful about getting your eyes poked, though.

The titular ninth episode of the sixth season of the Tina Fey-starring satirical sitcom series honors this fake holiday, concocting a blend of tropes seen in most films centered around such celebratory occasions.

This article contains spoilers for Quantum Leap season 2 episode 11 “The Outsider.”

Fate. The main narrative thrust of the original and new Quantum Leap is changing fate. To put right what once went wrong. That doesn’t mean that Leapers like Sam (Scott Bakula) and Ben (Raymond Lee) can just change anything they want however. When Leapers are given their missions they’re often small, helping individual lives instead of making changes on a global scale. Why? Why can’t a Leaper, who’s supposed to make the world better, change bigger parts of the fate of history?

Season 2 episode 11 of the new Quantum Leap, “The Outsider” brings this question to the forefront. In the two previous episodes, Ben had learned current love interest Hannah’s husband was going to die of heart disease. In a full Back to the Future moment, Ben writes a letter to Hannah before that happens so she can prevent it.

The final episodes of the season will address how Ben and Hannah can be together and may have long-term developments for their satisfying conclusion.

During season 2, episode 8, the time-crossed lovers met once more, this time confessing their feelings for one another. This sets the stage for the rest of the season, which will no doubt explore how their relationship can unfold despite Ben leaping through time.

Speaking with NBC, Gero confirmed Quantum Leap season...

Quantum Leap cast members discuss the possibility of Ben's return in season 2, acknowledging that it would drastically change the show's format. They express their trust in the writers and their excitement about the direction the show will take. If Ben does return, the focus of Quantum Leap would shift, no longer revolving around time jumps and experiencing strangers' lives. The cliffhanger ending of episode 8 leaves viewers with unanswered questions about what comes next.

After that huge Ben twist, cast members from Quantum Leap are teasing the rest of season 2. The NBC series, built around the disappearance of Dr. Sam Beckett, follows Ben Song (Raymond Lee) and a group of researchers who attempt to resume the Quantum Leap project.

If there’s one question that dominates discussion around the new Quantum Leap, especially with those who aren’t die-hard fans, it’s a simple one. “Is Scott Bakula gonna show up?” Even two seasons in there’s still a hope among original series fans that original series star Bakula will somehow make a return appearance as Dr. Sam Beckett.

It’s not as if Bakula has avoided more modern throwbacks to the original series. He made a comedic return as Sam in a sketch on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2016 and a self-deprecating appearance on a Quantum Leap-referencing episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia in 2017. Bakula clearly has affection for the role, so why hasn’t he appeared in the new series?

It’s not for lack of trying. In 2022 the script for the original version of the pilot of the new Quantum Leap leaked online,...

“Quantum Leap” is traveling back to the 1992 LA riots in Wednesday’s new episode.

In an exclusive clip shared with TheWrap, Ben (Raymond Lee) lands in the body of 18-year-old Daniel Park, a first generation Korean American teenager working at his father’s shoe store in Los Angeles’ Koreatown. Jumping to 1992 alongside Magic (Ernie Hudson), the pair learn they have been transported to the day when all four officers involved in the beating of Rodney King were acquitted of assault, with three of the four acquitted of using excessive force.

“I remember watching the riots on TV — how unfair that verdict was to the Black community and how angry people were over it,” Ben told Magic as he realizes his new surroundings. “I remember the rooftop Koreans trying to protect their businesses … I can’t possibility be here to stop all that right?”

Instead, Magic informs Ben that amid the riots prompted Daniel’s father,...

Despite facing challenges and memory loss, Ben manages to save lives and stop a missile from causing destruction in the season 2 premiere of Quantum Leap.

The fan-favorite time-traveling team is getting a new member in an exclusive Quantum Leap season 2 clip. Based on Donald P.

The next episode of the show, entitled "The Lonely Hearts Club", will see Ben leap into the body of an ambitious Hollywood assistant...

This article contains spoilers for Quantum Leap season 2 episode 3.

The original Quantum Leap, despite being a show centered on time travel, was fairly grounded. Besides Sam (Scott Bakula) being able to leap into other people’s lives, the show kept its stories pretty down to Earth. Sam would help someone with a problem viewers could easily relate to. It’s part of what makes the show so beloved to this day. It was sci-fi but not Too sci-fi.

Which is why it was more than a little strange when, in season 5 episode 6 “Star Light, Star Bright,” Sam encountered aliens. No, it wasn’t a fake out to generate interest in the episode. Sam really proves aliens are real. The story follows Sam’s leap into an old man in 1966 who’s in danger of being put in a home for believing in aliens. Despite seeing a UFO at the beginning of the story,...

The episode follows the enigmatic protagonist, Ben, who continues his unique journey through time, leaping into the body of an ambitious Hollywood assistant. Ben’s new mission is intertwined with the life of his famous client, Neal Russell, who finds himself in a perilous situation.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Quantum Leap season 2, episode 2!

Ben and Addison's relationship will be tested in new ways throughout season 2 of Quantum Leap due to Ben's absence and Addison now being in a relationship with Tom. The circumstances of the new season will challenge Ben and Addison's desire to be in the relationship they initially wanted, forcing them to adapt and find a way to work together. The love triangle between Ben, Addison, and Tom will make things difficult for Addison, and the three-year gap will make it uncertain if Ben and Addison can reconnect or if their new lives will keep them apart.

Quantum Leap showrunner Dean Georgaris has opened up about how Ben and Addision's relationship will be tested in new ways throughout season 2. In season 2, episode 1, it was revealed that Ben had been missing for three years following his inability to return home at the end of Quantum Leap season 1. Since then,...

In late June, NBC “opted not to order additional episodes” beyond the Season 5 it greenlit after CBS said aloha to Magnum after four seasons.

This article contains spoilers for Quantum Leap season 1 and the premiere of season 2.

Does a Leaper control their leaps? It’s a question that Quantum Leap, both old and new series, seemingly have answers for. In the original show, Sam (Scott Bakula) was leaping because he was conducting a time travel experiment that went, to quote the original narration for the series, “a little caca.” He couldn’t control his leaps and hoped his next leap would be the one that would finally bring him home.

In the first season of the new series, Ben (Raymond Lee) had somewhat planned his leaps in order to get to a place in time where he could save the love of his life, Addison (Caitlin Bassett.) Now though in season 2 Ben is lost in time much like Sam was in the original series… Or was he? And is Ben really lost as well?...

Oh boy.

After a miraculously short hiatus thanks to the forethought of the showrunners and hard work of the production team, NBC's hit sci-fi series, Quantum Leap, returns this week on a new night and at a new time with all-new adventures for Dr. Ben Song and the Ql team.

Quantum Leap Season 2 premieres at 8/7c on Wednesday, October 4, and it's immediately apparent that Ben does not make it home. So what's a time-traveling physicist to do?

The premiere quickly immerses viewers in an action-packed and comedically brilliant A-Team-gone-wrong-esque operation when the top-secret cargo aboard Ben's plane attracts Russian missiles, and they are shot down.

It's 1978, and with a superb supporting guest cast consisting of Melissa Roxburgh, P.J. Byrne, Aaron Abrams, and Francois Arnaud, Ben must trust his gut and skills to see them through the ordeal.

The Ql team is Mia. Ben isn't able to connect with Addison,...

Viewing is more fragmented than ever, but the numbers are still a good indicator of how shows are performing.

The Irrational may have had little buzz, but it managed to outperform every Quantum Leap Season 1 episode in the 10 p.m. slot among total viewers.

The Jesse L. Martin procedural kicked off on Monday with 4.1 million total viewers and a 0.4 rating.

NBC will be happy with the show improving on the sci-fi drama, which will unspool its second season on Wednesdays, beginning October 4, 2023.

The big test for The Irrational will be how it holds up in the coming weeks, but the numbers are respectable out of The Voice.

The Faith-Leap Trial is one of three major challenges posed in the Gauntlet of Shar dungeon of Baldur's Gate 3, asking your player to cross a dangerous abyss to reach an Umbral Gem. Almost acting like a platforming section, the path across the chasm here is shrouded in darkness. While it may be tricky to find the way forward, there are some clues that could help your party make it across.

The characters in your party have to make a blood sacrifice before entering the room with the Faith-Leap Trial. Although this will cause everyone to have a few less Hit Points, there are no enemies in this challenge that will attack your group. Unlike the other challenges you are tasked with in order to complete the Gauntlet of Shar in Baldur's Gate 3, this trial is the only one that doesn't put you into turned-based combat.

The 2022 revival of the popular 1980s Scott Bakula-anchored time travel series came in like a quantum accelerator, throwing everything and everyone into the mix.

While maintaining some temporal continuity with the original series, the new Quantum Leap introduced viewers to the team behind the project rather than just the leaper and his guide.

What is Quantum Leap about?

The initial twelve-episode order was quickly upped to a full eighteen-episode season, and the leaps got wilder as Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) slowly regained his memories of why he took his unauthorized leap in the first place.
