When Universal Studios Beijing opens next summer (god willing), it will be the fulfillment of a nearly ten-year journey for the entertainment giant, who first started looking at the area way back in 2011. (They were intent to beat Disney to mainland China but Shanghai Disneyland opened in 2016.)

It’s a masterpiece pure and simple, and given that we live in an age dominated by franchises, fans were understandably clamoring for moreFury Roadas soon as the movie was over....
The latest show in the recent parade of nostalgic revivals is CBS’Murphy Brown, which was a critically-acclaimed, groundbreaking comedy that aired from 1988 to 1998, earning starCandice Bergenfive Emmy Awards (and the show earned another 15 over its run).
