SUPERNATURAL writers and actors have been regular fixtures on the WGA and SAG-AFTRA picket lines—including a mini-reunion picket on August 10—but they made it official with a jam-packed reunion picket on Thursday, August 31 at the Warner Bros. lot.

“The first reunion picket, which I really appreciated, came a lot from the show THE WINCHESTERS,” SUPERNATURAL creator Eric Kripke tells Give Me My Remote. “And it actually got me off my ass, because I’ve been thinking for a while, ‘We should do the most epic SUPERNATURAL picket, and we should get everyone from all 15 years.’”

On Friday, September 10, 1993, Fox debuted THE X-FILES. Now, ahead of the show’s 30th anniversary, Give Me My Remote is looking back at all 11 seasons (and the two feature films) in a new daily series Take Two.

If you’ve read About Last Night, this will be formatted in a similar way: Each episode will get its own subsection/reaction, though in this case there may be slight spoilers or alluding to what comes ahead in the series. In the event a major spoiler is discussed, there will be a warning to be extra safe. Each Take Two will cover approximately 5 episodes and will wrap up the Friday before the show’s 30th birthday.

(I’ll also note how I’m watching the episodes, because some of the streaming platforms have utilized syndicated cuts of this show.)

Today, we’re continuing season 7! Read more

Fox’s new series SNAKE OIL has added Will Arnett, Brad Paisley, Ice-T, Bethenny Frankel, Adam DeVine, Christie Brinkley, Kandi Burruss, Dwight Howard, Natasha Leggero, Jay Pharoah, Rob Riggle, Darius Rucker, JB Smoove, and Michelle Williams to its first season.

In SNAKE OIL, hosted David Spade (and executive-produced by Arnett), “contestants are pitched unique products by convincing entrepreneurs – some of whom are showcasing real business ventures, while the others are “Snake Oil Salesmen,” whose products are fake. With the help of guest celebrity advisors, contestants must determine which products are real and which are a sham, for a chance to win life-changing money. In each round of SNAKE OIL, contestants choose a pair of entrepreneurs and learn about their extremely unique (and often bizarre) products through visuals, a custom-made infomercial exclusively produced for Snake Oil, and by quizzing the business representative themselves. With the help of their celebrity advisors, the contestants must then decide who is selling an authentic product and who is hawking a sham. Will they make the right choice or be duped by snake oil?!”
