Poppa's House Season 1 is averaging shy of 4.1 million viewers (with delayed playback), delivering just 70% retention out of The Neighborhood whereas Bob Hearts Abishola last year enjoyed 94%. It stands as CBS' least-watched scripted program of the 2024-25 TV season.

The Eye Network has also cancelled reality competition series The Summit after just one season. The show follows a group of contestants as they attempt to climb a mountain, overcoming treacherous physical obstacles along the way, and navigating a mental and social game as well.
The Summit Season 1 averaged just 2.6 million total viewers — barely half of its Survivor lead-in. And out of all entertainment programming that CBS has aired during the 2024-25 season, only Raid the Cage has a smaller audience.
This news leaves Queen Latifah's The Equalizer as the only CBS series still awaiting its fate for the 2025-26 TV season.

What to watch for at the Tony Awards, Broadway's biggest night
NEW YORK — Twenty-nine shows on Broadway got Tony Award nominations this season, but not all will walk away with a trophy — and the box office attention they usually bring. Here are some key things to know as Broadway's biggest night approaches, including how to watch, who is poised to make history, what old favorite gets to take a victory lap and how you can see George Clooney on Broadway from the comfort of your couch. The Tonys will be broadcast to both coasts on Sunday, June 8, from 7 p.m.-10 p.m. central time, live from Radio City Music Hall. On CBS and streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S. Tony-, Emmy- and Grammy-winner and three-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo, the 'Wicked' star, will be making her debut hosting the Tonys. She won the lead actress in a musical Tony in 2016 for 'The Color Purple' and will have just released her new album, 'I Forgive You.' A pre-show will be broadcast on Pluto TV from 5:40 p.m.-7:00 p.m. central time, where some Tonys will be handed out. Darren Criss and Renée Elise Goldsberry will host that telecast. Viewers can access it on their smart TV, streaming device, mobile app or online by going to Pluto TV and clicking on the 'Live Music' channel, found within the Entertainment category on the service. A total of 26 competitive categories, from lead and featured actors to scenic, costume and lighting design. Some technical award handouts may be pre-taped and winners won't appear on the live show, only cut down into edited bits sandwiched into the telecast. There are three of them: 'Buena Vista Social Club,' which takes its inspiration from Wim Wenders' 1999 Oscar-nominated documentary; 'Death Becomes Her,' based on the 1992 cult classic film; and 'Maybe Happy Ending,' a rom-com musical about a pair of androids. Each have a leading 10 nominations. For new musicals, it's 'Buena Vista Social Club,' 'Dead Outlaw,' 'Death Becomes Her,' 'Maybe Happy Ending' and 'Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical.' For new plays, it's 'English,' 'The Hills of California,' 'John Proctor Is the Villain,' 'Oh, Mary!' and 'Purpose.' Many of the races are unusually tight this year, the product of a Broadway heaving with shows after having largely rebounded from the pandemic. 'I haven't seen one nominated show that I haven't been wowed by. Everything brings something,' says Lowe Cunningham, lead producer of 'Death Becomes Her' and also a Tony voter. 'How dare the Broadway community come together with such excellent work,' she jokes. 'I needed everything else to be much worse, and I don't appreciate it.' Audra McDonald, the most recognized performer in the theater awards' history, could possibly extending her Tony lead. Already the record holder for most acting wins with six Tonys, McDonald could add to that thanks to her leading turn in an acclaimed revival of 'Gypsy.' She will push the record for a performer to most wins with seven if she prevails on Tony night. And Kara Young — the first Black actress to be nominated for a Tony Award in four consecutive years — could become the first Black person to win two Tonys consecutively should she win for her role in the play 'Purpose.' Other possible firsts: — Daniel Dae Kim could becomes the first Asian winner in the category of best leading actor in a play for his work in a revival of 'Yellow Face.' And Marjan Neshat and her co-star Tala Ashe are vying to become the first female actors of Iranian descent to win a Tony. Normally, shows open for several years don't get any Tony telecast attention but 'Hamilton' is no normal show. The original cast will celebrate the show's 10th anniversary on Broadway with a performance featuring creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and actors Goldsberry, Ariana DeBose, Daveed Diggs, Jonathan Groff, Christopher Jackson, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Javier Muñoz, Leslie Odom, Jr., Okieriete Onaodowan and Phillipa Soo. Any repeat of last year, when Jay-Z's electrifying reunion with Alicia Keys on what appeared to be a live duet of 'Empire State of Mind' was actually pre-taped hours before the live show. The appearance by the rapper in support of Keys' musical 'Hell's Kitchen' turned out to be a piece of Hollywood trickery, undercutting the Broadway community's full-throated embrace of live singing and dancing. The health of Broadway — once very much in doubt during the pandemic lockdown — is now very good, at least in terms of box office. The 2024-2025 season took in $1.9 billion, the highest-grossing season in recorded history, overtaking the pre-pandemic previous high of $1.8 billion during the 2018-2019 season. In terms of attendance, Broadway welcomed nearly 14.7 million ticket buyers, the second best attended season on record, behind only 2018-2019. But sky-high ticket prices have led to fears that Broadway is getting financially out of touch. A revival of 'Othello' with Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal broke the record for top-grossing play in Broadway history with a gross of $2,818,297 for eight performances, fueled by some seats going for as high as $921. Even if you haven't been able to get to Broadway this season, you can still see one of the shows. The night before the Tonys, 'Good Night, and Good Luck' — starring and co-written by Clooney, a Tony acting nominee — will stream across CNN properties.

Jason Ritter Explained Why He Had 'This Weird Feeling Of Connection' To Beau Bridges Before Working With Him On Matlock, And It Involves Dad John Ritter
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After a season of legal twists and family strife, the relationship between Beau Bridges and Jason Ritter's Matlock father and son characters is at a crossroads in the 2025 TV schedule. In real life, though, the collaborators are actually quite friendly. Part of the reason for that is because of a strange way that the late great John Ritter and Bridges would be included in a lot of the same conversations. During a Paley Center event on behalf of Matlock's early campaign for the upcoming 2025 Emmys, Ritter admitted that his paternal figure on CBS' hit legal drama bore a striking resemblance to his actual father. Through a TikTok video clipped from this panel interview, Jason Ritter shared as much with this anecdote: You know, there's this strange thing, when Beau was cast, throughout my entire childhood in my life, my dad and Beau would get mistaken for each other all the time. And there is a bit of a physical similarity. I can kind of see where the man behind Matlock's treacherous yet tragic lawyer is coming from. Which is funny, because at first I was kind of resistant to the idea, as John Ritter and Beau Bridges both have their own trademark smiles. Paramount Plus: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearWhether it's the Essential plan at $7.99 a month, or the Showtime inclusive/ad-free Premium plan from $12.99 a month, a Paramount+ subscription is never a bad idea. With both classic and modern runs of Matlock ready for viewing, the courtroom drama fun doesn't have to end for some time. Though I hear those Yellowstone shows are also might fine, should you want to switch things up. View Deal But as if he was ready to fight off any challenges to that claim, Jason Ritter shared this next piece of the tale that cites a compelling piece of evidence you don't need a Paramount+ subscription to enjoy. He said: …my dad, one time, got a fan letter from someone who had listed all of these things that he had done and the performances that they loved and said, 'Could you please sign the enclosed picture?' It was Beau Bridges on the beach. So I already had this weird feeling of connection to him. Now if you pull up that very photo from decades earlier that Mr. Ritter mentioned, it shows the shaggy-haired smoke show that is Beau Bridges, smiling away on the beach. That particular mane of hair is what swayed me in the end, because between that and The Millers star's high-wattage smile, Beau absolutely looks like our beloved Three's Company icon. And now that scene where Bridges' Matlock character mourns his brother kind of hits harder for me, because John Ritter playing that role could have been spectacularly funny. (Which is, of course, no slight against Beau's actual brother, the equally legendary Jeff Bridges.) You watch all of Beau Bridges and Jason Ritter's Season 1 antics on Paramount+. Don't forget that CBS' 2025-2026 fall TV lineup is still waiting to provide a date for Matlock Season 2 to kick off and bring Kathy Bates back to the TV fold in grand fashion.
