Seinfeld’s Loni Anderson Reference Explained: Who Is She?

Seinfeld season 1 makes a reference to actress Loni Anderson, but who is she? Despite originally signing off the air in 1998, the classic sitcom has gone on to earn a new generation of fans thanks to syndication. One of the reasons why Seinfeld has endured for so long is because for the most part, the humor and jokes are essentially timeless, putting the characters in situations that are relatable and funny regardless of when the episodes are watched. That's part of what makes Seinfeld such an influential TV show.

Of course, Seinfeld is still a product of the time it was made, meaning some of the pop culture references that landed with 1990s audiences may not resonate as much with younger viewers today. One such example took place early in Seinfeld season 1 in the episode "The Stake Out," during a scene where Jerry's parents are bemoaning his current relationship status. Advising their son to not be too particular, Jerry's father Morty jokingly asks if Jerry is waiting for Loni Anderson. It was a funny line when "The Stake Out" premiered, but may now go over modern viewers' heads.

Anderson is an actress who first rose to fame in the 1970s and 1980s, most notably thanks to her role as Jennifer Marlowe on the TV show WKRP in Cincinnati. She was widely compared to the likes of Jayne Mansfield, Marilyn Monroe, and others, making her a sex symbol of the era. Anderson also received critical acclaim for her performances, earning multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations throughout her career. She's accumulated a number of credits, most recently with the TV show My Sister is So Gay, which wrapped up its run in 2020.

When Seinfeld was produced, Anderson was considered an example of the "ideal" woman by media and pop culture, which is why she's referenced by Jerry's father. Morty is telling Jerry he can't sit around and wait for the "perfect" mate because nobody is truly perfect. Even without knowing the specifics of who Anderson was at the time "The Stake Out" aired, the context of the conversation implies she was a popular, attractive celebrity. This also explains why Jerry's mother mentions Italian actress Sophia Loren during the same sequence. However, knowing the background of Anderson's career and status helps new viewers discovering Seinfeld for the first time on Netflix understand an arguably more obscure reference (by today's standards) and elevates the gag.

Larry David's mantra for Seinfeld was "no hugging, no learning," meaning the show would aim to eschew usual tropes by having the characters never change or learn from their mistakes. The Loni Anderson conversation is actually one of the earliest examples of that approach in action. On the surface, it's sound dating advice from Jerry's parents, but Jerry (or anyone in the group, for that matter) never heeds it. Not only was his relationship with Vanessa (his love interest in "The Stake Out") short-lived, he cycled through a rotating cast of girlfriends over Seinfeld's nine-season run, sometimes finding the pettiest reason to break up with someone. If only he had listened to his parents, maybe his life would have turned out for the better.

Apple Watch Series 7 Pre-Orders: Where & When To Order One

Apple recently announced that its new Apple Watch Series 7 will be available to pre-order soon and there is reason to believe that it could sell out quickly, due to short supplies. The Apple Watch Series 7 features a bigger display than ever and, with a faster processor and swipe keyboard, it’s the best version of a smartwatch to come from the company to date.

Earlier rumors that Apple Watch orders might be delayed were proven true as Apple announced its new wearable nearly one a month ago, but only recently shared when it will become available to order. These same production delays could mean that there hasn’t been enough time for a full shipment. While leaks about a new flat-edged design were way off base, at least this year, the Series 7 does have a significant design change. The front crystal is rounder, which provides greater structural strength, in the same way that a domed roof in a stadium can span greater distances and support more weight.

Apple has confirmed that the Apple Watch Series 7 will soon be available to buy with pre-orders starting at 5 a.m. Pacific Time (8 a.m. Eastern) on Friday, October 8, 2021. The latest smartwatch from Apple will appear in stores one week later, October 15. The suggestion that quantities will be limited has been backed by a recent Tweet from Jon Prosser. Either way, Apple’s website should be the best place to check first thing in the morning. Prices start at $399 for the Wi-Fi model and cellular capability adds an extra $100 to the cost. However, Apple gives $100 back when activating with T-Mobile/Sprint or Verizon and ordering through Apple's website or an Apple retail store.

Since Apple Watch Series 7 is likely to sell out quickly, Apple will be the best place to check, but Best Buy and B&H Photo tend to get Apple products in stock and ship quickly as well, sometimes matching Apple’s own delivery date. Also, third-party websites sometimes provide extra incentives to buy with them. For example, Best Buy usually bundles a six-month Fitness+ subscription with the purchase of an Apple Watch and that appears to hold true this year. The Apple Watch Series 7 is already listed on the website, a 45 mm model with gold-tone stainless steel case and Milanese loop. Shown as coming soon, the page listing does highlight the six-month Fitness+ bundle.

If the Apple Watch does sell out online quickly, there will probably still be some available on eBay albeit with significant markups. Alternatively, visiting a retail store on October 15 will provide another opportunity to pick up the new, larger, and more durable Apple Watch Series 7.

Will Smith Is Venus & Serena Williams’ Loving Father In King Richard Poster

In a new poster for the upcoming biopic King Richard, Will Smith is in the spotlight as Richard Williams, the father of tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams. The Hollywood legend, 53, is set to play the loving father turned tennis coach who raised his two daughters to become World champions from a very young age. In a long and dedicated career, Richard Williams' daughters went on to win a combined 150 titles under his leadership, including Wimbledon, US Open, and even Olympic Gold Medals. King Richard is set to follow Mr. Williams as he aspires and succeeds in turning the two sisters from Compton-born novices to world-famous athletes.

The 2021 film will star Smith in the title role, with reports suggesting he was paid at least 40 million dollars, alongside supporting cast members including The Punisher star Jon Bernthal and American Horror Story's Dylan McDermott. Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, King Richard is set to have quite a bit of awards buzz around it, as many inspirational biopics often do. Green reunites with lead actor Will Smith, having directed the 2018 Netflix documentary series Amend: The Fight For America, which Smith hosted. As well as Amend, Green also directed three episodes of the popular British crime series Top Boy, and his feature film debut Monsters and Men starred John David Washington and was received well by critics in 2019.

In the Empire exclusive poster, seen below, Smith takes center stage as the lead role, closely embracing his two daughters Venus and Serena (played by young actresses Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton). The poster highlights both the loving-family dynamic and the importance of coaching, with Venus seen holding her tennis racket. The tagline reads "Venus, Serena and a plan for greatness," outlining the movie's focus on the Williams family's aspired, planned, and achieved success.

The film is set to be an accurate and personal account of the life of the tennis star sisters, with both Serena and Venus Williams listed as executive producers on the picture. Alongside them, Smith's wife and fellow acting star Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith himself, who also doubles up as a producer. The whole project, like the story it's telling, is a close-knit family affair. The emotionally charged plot is sure to be compelling viewing in this busy Fall season for cinema audiences, who will be eager to know the truth about the lesser-known hero that is Richard Williams.

Set to be released in cinemas across the world this November, as well as streaming on HBO Max in the US, King Richard is a much-anticipated drama, with award nominations almost certainly on the cards. For critics and enthusiasts, the film is set to premiere at festivals later this month, first opening at BFI London Film Festival in the UK on October 15th, then later at Chicago International Festival on October 24th.

90 Day Fiancé: Natalie & Big Ed Confirmed For The Single Life Season 2

Natalie Mordovtseva and Big Ed Brown will be starring in the 90 Day Fiancé spinoff 90 Day: The Single Life with other confirmed cast members Stephanie Matto, Debbie Johnson, and Syngin Colchester. Seven singles are supposed to be a part of the Discovery+ show, including the two unannounced names from different 90 Day Fiancé relationships that spark a romance after having broken up with their respective American exes. Meanwhile, the addition of Big Ed, now engaged to former girlfriend Liz Woods and Natalie, who's been spotted with a mystery man after separating from Mike Youngquist, isn’t really a surprise to fans following their recent antics.

YouTuber Stephanie was the first name that was officially revealed. Stephanie, often accused of faking her bisexuality, confessed she’ll be dating both men and women on The Single Life. Colt Johnson’s mother, Debbie, was perhaps the most shocking person on the list. The Las Vegas resident is back in the dating game 13 years after she lost Colt’s father to an apparent heart attack. South African man Syngin and his wife Tania Maduro kept going around in circles with their relationship status. However, fans have heard rumors of their breakup and him having a new girlfriend. But Syngin’s name was announced by 90 Day Fiancé not too long after Tania finally confirmed their split. The 90 Day Fiancé season 7 couple Tania and Syngin still appear to be good friends, but the same cannot be said about Natalie and Mike. Ukrainian actress Natalie has been accused of acting thirsty on social media after Mike went official with his girlfriend Marcia “Brazil” Alves.

According to Us Weekly, Natalie and Ed will be joining the show for season 2. Natalie is already busy looking for a new man in Florida, and it looks like fans of the show will possibly be able to watch that unfold in the upcoming season. Giving Natalie company is Big Ed, whose notorious relationship with Rosemarie “Rose” Vega on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 4 made him infamous worldwide as his problematic behavior came to the surface.

Following his messy relationship with Rose, Big Ed tried to woo another younger woman Liz on 90 Day: The Single Life season 1. Big Ed ended up treating Liz just as poorly, and a leaked phone call with the restaurant manager also showcased him calling her many nasty things. Fans wanted to see no more of Big Ed on their screens, and yet, his surprise engagement to Liz hinted at him getting a new 90 Day Fiancé stint. Us Weekly states that on 90 Day: The Single Life season 2, Big Ed tries new things and is ready to travel the world to find his soulmate.

Whether Big Ed stays engaged to Liz or continues his streak of toxic relationships is what fans will find out when 90 Day: The Single Life premieres on Friday, November 12 on Discovery+. Season 1 was a surprise hit that fans preferred watching over 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 6. It featured Big Ed, Colt, Danielle Mullins, Brittany Banks, Fernanda Flores, and Molly Hopkins. Apart from Big Ed, Colt and Molly are still with their partners from the show. Fans are now eagerly wanting to know if the likes of Natalie, Syngin, Debbie, and the two mystery singles happen to find true love or if they gift the 90 Day Fiancé franchise more trainwreck relationships.

Simpsons Fan Comic SPRINGFIGHT! is Manga-Style Fighting Tournament

Ever since The Simpsons first aired in 1989 it has stolen the hearts of families around the world, with years of adventures springing from its initial inception. Most new Simpsons storylines exist within the main canon of the television show, or offshoots from creator Matt Groening in some form or fashion such as movies or video games. However, The Simpsons has also inspired a number of fan-produced content, including a new manga-style fighting adventure in the form of a new webcomic that has taken Twitter by storm. 

SPRINGFIGHT! a Simpsons fan comic released by Joe Chouinard is a five-part webcomic posted on Twitter that brings the comedy fans have come to expect from The Simpsons and adds manga-style action. In the beginning, fans are told that Mr. Burns has died and his will states that his immense wealth will be left to the winner of a town-wide fighting tournament. All the regular Simpsons characters and side characters are participating, fighting each other much like characters in a Dragon Ball manga would, all for a chance at a grand fortune. As many familiar faces rise and fall on the panel, one man stands above the rest, and that man is none other than Homer Simpson. 


Homer uses the power of drunken hopelessness to win his way to the top of the tournament, and while that description may seem a bit heavy and sad for a Simpsons comic, that’s because it is and the story doesn’t shy away from that fact. The whole reason Homer is fighting in the tournament is because he and Marge got a divorce, and his family all but hates him. To prove to them he isn’t a loser, Homer has decided to win Burns’ tournament, using beer to numb the pain it takes to win. Homer only realizes his mistake after he faces his final challenger: his own son Bart. Halfway through their epic fight, Homer leaves the ring and forfeits the tournament and Bart takes home the gold, but in the end Homer’s the real winner. His family sees how hard he is trying to get back into their lives and once he vows to give up drinking he is given another chance to be the husband and father they all hoped he would be. 

SPRINGFIGHT! a Simpsons fan comic isn’t the only non-canonical Simpsons adventure that has sprung up in webcomic space. The fan made Those Springfield Kids by Mr. Spike R. Monster takes a similar approach to Simpsons character psychology as SPRINGFIGHT! but with a slight time jump and way less action. Those Springfield Kids explores the early high school life of Bart, Lisa, and the other younger characters present in the original Simpsons. While the series has its comedic moments, it certainly doesn’t hold any punches when tackling the traumatic drama present in the usually fantastical world in which The Simpsons takes place

While these Simpsons stories didn’t originate from the original creator Matt Groening and are therefore non-canon, they speak to how powerful The Simpsons is to fans even to this day. The Simpsons is one of the longest-running series on television, and even with the current competition in adult animation like Rick and Morty, Family Guy, and South Park, its characters and stories remain an inspiration to fans to create their own adventures with the characters they grew up with. Simpsons fan comic SPRINGFIGHT! is a manga-style fighting tournament with a deep dive into The Simpsons family dynamic that is a great tribute to the show that started it all.

Fortnite Season 8 Leak Suggests Mechs Are Returning |

Dataminers have seemingly uncovered plans by Epic Games to bring mechs back into Fortnite for the end of the currently running Season 8. Titanfall-style Mechs were first introduced to Fortnite more than two years ago, but their run in the online battle royale was short-lived due to many issues which eventually caused Epic to pull them from Fortnite altogether.

The B.R.U.T.E. was part of 2019's Fortnite Season 1,0 and it quickly developed a bad reputation among players due to how unbalanced it ended up being. Epic Games tried to keep the B.R.U.T.E. in Fortnite through a series of minor tweaks, however the developer's efforts proved to be not enough, as players went so far as to start a #RemoveTheMech trend on Twitter. Some even changed tactics in-game, deciding to work together to destroy the machines as soon they spawned. Mechs were removed the same month they were introduced and they have not been seen in Fortnite since... until now, it seems.


Dataminer Shiina recently discovered that Fortnite's mechs could make a return in Season 8, according to some of the text files they discovered. This was corroborated by HYPEX, who more concretely stated that Epic Games is planning to add funding for mechs at the end of the current season. It is unclear from these Fortnite leaks if the mechs will be some form of revamped B.R.U.T.E., but according to HYPEX there will certainly be some changes going forward. The full extent of those changes to Fortnite's mechs, however, is still currently unknown.

2019's end to Fortnite's B.R.U.T.E. came quickly and was met by relief throughout community. Epic Games has an uphill battle ahead of itself to combat the negative reputations Fortnite's mechs have cultivated. While it is extremely likely the new mechs mentioned in these Fortnite leaks will feel completely different after more than two-years of work, the question of proper balance remains unanswered, and will continue to be so until the return officially happens.

With Fortnite Season 8 now in full swing, all players can hope for is that Epic Games has learned from its past mistakes and has the intention to make up for them. Mechs are tricky to balance in a game like Fortnite, as their whole point is to be overpowering to some degree. Hopefully Epic can find the right balance to make the new mechs mentioned in these Fortnite leaks feel powerful without leaving those who do not have one feeling completely outgunned.


Fortnite is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

House Of The Dragon Is Fixing Game Of Thrones’ Iron Throne Mistake

The House of the Dragon trailer reveals that it is fixing Game of Thrones' Iron Throne mistake. The trailer shows a number of brief clips from the greatly-anticipated prequel series by HBO, one of which is a shot of the iconic metal seat — but looking quite different to the version audiences saw in the original show. The new throne is much wider, splaying out across the steps leading up to it, with sword points jutting out from the molten metal like the teeth of a dragon. Even the central chair is larger, more jagged, and far more imposing.

The Iron Throne is the central seat of power in Game of Thrones' Westeros. Created for Aegon Targaryen after conquering the six kingdoms, the metal throne is said to be forged with dragon fire from the thousand swords of his enemies. The books by George R. R. Martin describe the chair as being huge and unsightly with steep metal steps leading up to the seat that was so dangerous, rulers couldn't lean back against the sharp blades. The throne in HBO's Game of Thrones, however, is much smaller than described, a hunk of molten steel sitting atop a short stone pedestal, as many sword hilts as blades decorating the backrest.


The Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon is making an Iron Throne that is much truer to the books than the original show's version. Not only is the new throne more accurate to the source material, but it does a better job of serving as the intimidating symbol that it's supposed to represent. It's still not quite the monstrous structure described in the books, but it comes a lot closer than the comparatively casual-looking chair in HBO's Game of Thrones.

The Iron Throne is not merely a seat of power, but a symbol of the conquest it took to establish the Targaryen dynasty. The melted swords surrendered or taken from Aegon's foes serve as a reminder to all the members of the great houses of what happens to those who oppose the aptly named House of the Dragon. It also holds a message from Aegon to the Targaryen rulers to come, a deliberately sharp and dangerous chair to remind them that conquerors can never rest easy. The Game of Thrones version looks hard and severe but not very intimidating, and although its lack of comfort is mentioned on multiple occasions, numerous characters can be seen lounging nonchalantly in it. The House of the Dragon throne, however, looks genuinely dangerous, posing a serious threat to any who approach it — much less dare to sit upon it.

Although the Iron Throne in House of the Dragon is a lot more similar to the version in the books, it still is not quite the grotesque structure described in the source material. The pedestal is supposed to be steep and tall, allowing the rule to tower over the rest of the court. The danger of the chair still seems less extreme than the Iron Throne of the Game of Thrones books as well. The source material almost personifies the throne, recalling the countless rulers and members of the council it has cut. It's even rumored that a Targaryen king who was found dead on the seat had been murdered by the throne itself. While the version in the trailer is a vast improvement on the original show, the new Iron Throne still lacks the proper size and a certain sinister aspect.

There are reasons that Game of Thrones provides a somewhat lackluster seat: it may have been a deliberate creative decision to showcase the decline of House Targaryen, or the initial production budget just didn't room for a towering metal monolith. It also could have been a safety concern for the actors. Either way, the prequel series takes place during the prime years of the Targaryen dynasty, and it deserves the symbol of power and conquest that the books describe. Although it's imperfect, the Iron Throne in the House of the Dragon trailer is certainly a massive improvement on that of Game of Thrones.

Shameless: How Old The Characters Are At The Beginning And End Of The Show

With all the anarchy in the Gallagher household, it can be difficult to keep track of how old the characters in Shameless are from the beginning to the end of the show. When the comedy-drama series debuted on Showtime in 2011, all of the Gallagher kids (except for Fiona) were still minors. By the time the series wrapped up with the season 11 finale in the spring of 2021, all except Liam are adults with jobs and - in some cases - kids of their own.

Monica Gallagher had six children altogether before walking out on the family and leaving Fiona to take on the brunt of the parenting (even more so than she already had). In a rant in season 1, Frank helpfully spells out the age differences between the kids, saying that Monica left when Fiona was 14, Lip was 11, Ian was 10, Debbie was seven, Carl was five, and Liam was four months old. Of course, this being Frank, there's probably some room for error in his calculation of the kids' ages. Other clues in the show indicate that Fiona is actually around five years older than Lip, not three.


The Shameless timeline is notoriously riddled with continuity issues, which often makes it difficult to keep track of how much time passes between seasons and how old the various characters are. In an interview with EW, creator John Wells joked that the show is written on "Shameless time," with some characters' storylines taking place over a few days while others take place over several weeks. However, thanks to mentions of their age in dialogue it's possible to pin down their ages when the story begins, and how old they are when things wrap up in the Shameless season 11 finale.

In Shameless season 1, Fiona is 21 years old, Lip is 16, Ian is 15, Debbie is 11, Carl is nine, and Liam is around 18 months old. Debbie's daughter Franny, who was born when Debbie was 15, celebrates her fifth birthday in Shameless season 11, at which point Liam is about 11 years old. Putting these details together, it appears that around nine years pass between the start of Shameless season 1 and the end of season 11. By the time of the series finale, Fiona is 30, Lip is 25, Ian is 24, Debbie is 20, Carl is 18, and Liam is 11 years old. It should be noted that all of these ages are approximate, and could vary by a year or so. This is due to the show not only operating on its own time, but Shameless' status as a TV series means that the number of seasons doesn't always equate to the number of years that have passed since its debut. And because of the occasional continuity issues, it wasn't always clear how old the characters were at certain points. However, there were enough clues and information given so that the ages were clearer by the end of Shameless' run.

By the end of Shameless season 11 the Gallagher family got even bigger. Mickey Milkovich is around the same age as Lip Gallagher, which would make him around 25 years old when the story ends. As mentioned above, Debbie's daughter Franny is five years old, having been born on the Gallaghers' kitchen table in season 6. Lip's son, Freddie, was born in the first episode of season 10 and therefore must be at least a year old by the series finale, since Ian and Mickey are celebrating the one-year anniversary of their wedding from the end of season 10. Fred is probably about the same age in the finale as Liam was at the start of Shameless season 1. That essentially brings the Gallagher household full circle with regards to their ages, as another generation is born.

Moving next door, Kevin and Veronica's ages are never explicitly given at any point in the series, but they appear to be in their mid-to-late 20s in Shameless season 1. That puts them in their mid-to-late 30s by the time they pack up and get ready to move to Louisville in Shameless season 11. Their twin daughters, Amy and Jemma, were born in the season 4 finale, and Franny was conceived just a few episodes later, which means that Kevin and Veronica's twins are about 6 years old by the end of the series.

No Time To Die: Opening Credits Explained

Warning: Major spoilers ahead for No Time To Die

The No Time To Die signal the end of Daniel Craig's time as James Bond for one final adventure. The movie is the 25th official James Bond film and the 5th movie for Craig’s interpretation of the character over a 15 year period. Like every Bond movie to date, the new film features an elaborate and highly stylized opening sequence that foreshadows much of what's to follow. Just as with all its predecessors, No Time To Die's credits have a lot to unpack.

Dating back to Bond’s cinematic debut in 1962’s Dr. No (where there was a flurry of multi-colored dots flashing on the screen while the Bond theme played), the opening credits set the tone for the film. They are just as important fixtures for the James Bond franchise as the Gunbarrel or the title song that plays over them. Designer Maurice Binder was responsible for title sequences for 16 of the first 17 Bond films before Daniel Kleinman took over for Goldeneye onwards (with the exception of Quantum of Solace). Unsurprisingly, No Time To Die carries on the tradition.


Kleinman returns for his 8th James Bond opening credits title sequence with No Time To Die, once again stylishly designing the sequence to convey the mindset of Bond, as well as the plot of the film. The key themes displayed are betrayal, and time, with numerous images of hourglasses and clocks throughout. The film itself takes inspiration from fan-favorite On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, including the song “We Have All the Time in the World”, referring to Bond and Madeleine spending the rest of their lives together. Bond utters the phase at the start of No Time To Die before a heart-wrenching call back to it in the finale. The hourglasses represent all the time in the world, but when they are broken so is Bond’s heart thinking (wrongly) that Madeleine has betrayed him.

Images of Vesper Lynd from Casino Royale are included alongside Madeleine, in order to tie her in with Vesper in the audience’s mind as both deceiving James Bond. Madeleine’s secret however is vastly different than the one Vesper kept from him. Throughout the opening credits the lyrics in Billie Eilish’s title song “No Time To Die” echo the theme of betrayal. Furthermore, Bond’s Aston Martin sinking is representative of him leaving behind his former life. The famous gadget-laden car is instantly recognizable and iconic as anything in the pantheon of Bond. To have it sink into the depths is powerful imagery that Bond has given up his days of saving the world for Queen and country.

Another feature of the opening credits is the DNA sequences using guns and bullet trails to mimic the double-helix structure. It's impressive imagery and offers a hint at the importance of DNA in the film. The villain Safin uses a stolen nanobot bioweapon that spreads like a virus upon touch, and are coded to specific DNA strands so that they are only dangerous if programmed to an individual’s genetic code. On a deeper level, it could also represent Bond’s DNA, passed on through his and Madeleine’s daughter (the secret she kept from him).

Along with No Time To Die's opening pre-title sequence, the opening credits are often mini-works of art in their own right. Kleinman’s in particular are often filled with easter eggs that are impossible to all take in in a single viewing. No Time To Die’s opening credits are no different, with references to Dr. No (the dots return), On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (the hourglasses), and even Thunderball (a diver is seen at one point) sprinkled throughout the expertly crafted sequence.
