'Lamb Chop' doc highlights Shari Lewis feminism, glass ceiling

Photo courtesy of Kino Lorber LOS ANGELES, July 16 (UPI) -- The documentary Shari & Lamb Chop, in theaters Friday, tells the story of ventriloquist Shari Lewis and her most famous character, the puppet Lamb Chop. Her daughter, Mallory Lewis, who has performed as Lamb Chop and other characters since her mother's death in 1998, appreciates filmmaker Lisa D'Apolito showing the woman behind the characters. When Shari first got into ventriloquism, she was shut out by the male-dominated industry. In a recent Zoom interview with UPI, Mallory said women remain the minority in ventriloquism, even decades after Shari. "There's always been a glass ceiling for women and there continues to be one," Mallory said. "Nina Conti is one of my favorites but she's a comic as well." Shari and Lamb Chop also raised awareness for political issues that remain relevant today. A black and white clip from 1953 shows Lamb Chop asking Shari why there hasn't been a female president. "It is telling that in 1953 Lamb Chop said, 'Why isn't there a woman president? 32 men have been president and they've done it all wrong,'" Mallory said. Shari performed live television shows with Lamb Chop and other characters like Charlie Horse, Hush Puppy and Wing Ding. Mallory said her mother's strength was distinguishing each of her characters. "You never felt that it was Mom putting on an affect," Mallory said. "Lamb Chop would not say the same thing Charlie would say. Lamb Chop would be horrified at injustice and Charlie Horse would be rooting for the bad guy. Hush Puppy would just want everyone to stop fighting. Then Mom would come in and explain the ethical issues and suggest a moral outcome." The documentary shows how live children's shows like Shari's got pushed off the air by animated series. The animated shows were designed to advertise the toys that inspired the series. Shari and Lamb Chop even testified before Congress in 1993 to advocate for moral children's television. "Mom, of course, sold Lamb Chop toys but the show was not about the toys," Mallory said. "The show was moral stories. They learned be nice, be inclusive, don't be mean. I don't know why those are now radical concepts." Lamb Chop did work blue in a Las Vegas act Shari performed. Shari & Lamp Chop includes clips of that show. "People have a very narrow image of Mom as a nice little lady who played with puppets," Mallory said. "Mom did not have a dark side, but she was a feminist. She was an activist. She was a businesswoman back when women weren't businesswomen. She was a wife. She was a mother. She was actually a fully formed human being." Shari also had many other endeavors that did not make it into Shari & Lamb Chop, such as her appearances on Hollywood Squares, or the Season 3 Star Trek episode she wrote with her second husband, Jeremy Tarcher. "Mom created this place called Memory Alpha which was the repository of all the knowledge in the universe," Mallory said. "They still use Memory Alpha as the Wikipedia name [for Star Trek]." In the documentary, Shari says she found herself in Lamb Chop. Mallory has a similar relationship with Lamb Chop, with one difference. "Mom was Lamb Chop's mom," Mallory said. "I am Lamb Chop's sister so we have a different relationship. She has a great deal less respect for me than she did for Shari but we are besties." Mallory said she is still using the same Lamb Chop puppet Shari used. "I never did the puppets until Mom died," Mallory said. "Mom was a major part of my world but the rest of that was Lamb Chop. I couldn't let it all go away. I put her on, I never had to learn how to not move my lips. I never had to learn her voice. She just continued." She even gives Lamb Chop a voice in interviews, as Lamb Chop weighed in on life after Shari. "I miss Shari every day but I'm so grateful that Mallory is here because she's my sister and my bestie," Lamb Chop said. Mallory, her husband, Lamb Chop and the gang moved to Portugal this year. They perform at political rallies and charity events, often held at the Cascais Jazz Club. "I am a firm believer in the power of Lamb Chop to raise money," Mallory said. "We have raised millions of dollars over the years together, she and I. So we are hosting charity events regularly in Cascais and the expats have been very kind and generous." Lamb Chop and Mallory also appear daily on TikTok and respond to fans. Charlie Horse has even made appearances by request. "TikTok is where the artists are," Mallory said. "You can just ignore all the ads to buy stuff. Just keep scrolling."

Rough times for broadcast networks illustrate changing media landscape
NEW YORK -- Two milestones revealed this week illustrate the diminishing power of broadcast television in the media world — one fueled by the habits of young people and the other by their elders. During June, viewers spent more time watching streaming services than they did for broadcast and cable television combined. That happened for the first time ever in May, by a fraction of a percentage point, but the Nielsen company said on Tuesday that gap widened considerably in June. Also, for the third straight week, Nielsen said that Fox News Channel had more viewers in prime-time on weeknights than any of the main the broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox entertainment. For years, the mantra of media executives was that streaming represented the future for in-home entertainment. Now, that future has clearly arrived. In June, 46% of Americans' TV time was spent on streaming services, led by YouTube and Netflix. Cable television networks represented 23.4% and broadcast was 18.5%, for a total of just under 42%, Nielsen said. It was the first time broadcast TV had ever slipped below 20% of total TV viewing. 'It kind of felt like the right time,' said Brian Fuhrer, Nielsen's senior vice president for product strategy and thought leadership. 'A lot of people thought it would happen more quickly.' The driving force in June was school ending for young people, meaning they had more time to watch TV, where Netflix series like 'Ginny & Georgia' and 'Squid Game' were big hits. Roughly two-thirds of people aged 6 to 17 watched streaming ahead of conventional TV, Nielsen said. In June 2024, the numbers were roughly reversed — 47.7% of people were watching conventional TV in an average minute, with 40.3% logged on to a streaming service. While the direction is clear, it's not a death knell for conventional TV. June and July are fallow months, and their viewing will increase when football season begins and original episodes of comedies and dramas return, Fuhrer said. It's also not a strict either-or situation; media companies are doing a better job spreading their content out on different platforms to give viewers a choice, he said. The growth of YouTube, which many consumers can access for free and is a portal for "traditional" TV, has also fueled streaming services. Fox News has occasionally eclipsed the broadcast networks in viewership before, but last week represented the seventh week it has done so in 2025, already more than 2024 and 2023 combined. It averaged 2.4 million viewers in prime time on weeknights last week, Nielsen said. Fox News is also taking advantage of what is traditionally the least-watched time of the year for broadcast networks, when summer nights and barbecues keep people outside. The difference this year is it has won a few weeks outside of the summer, during President Donald Trump's inauguration week in January, for example. Its audience — among the oldest of all television networks — tends to stay pretty steady throughout the year.

Netflix boss doesn't regret The Residence axing despite Emmy nominations
Netflix boss Bela Bajaria doesn't regret cancelling The Residence despite its Emmy nominations. The streaming giant's chief content officer has reflected on her decision to scrap the murder mystery comedy - which starred Uzo Abuda as police consultant Cordelia Cupp - after the show received a number of nominations for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards. Asked if she has second guessed the decision to pull the plug, Bela told The Hollywood Reporter: "No, because I always knew she'd be recognised." Uzo was shortlisted in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series category, while the show's first episode The Fall of the House of Usher has been nominated for Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Single Episode. The episode is also in the running for Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Contemporary Program (One Hour Or More). Bela insisted she "loves" the series, and has no regrets about the news of its cancellation dropping two weeks before the Emmy nominations. She said: "No, I don't really look at when the news or not the news… I think was is great is — we love The Residence. We championed it, we made it. "Uzo [Aduba] has been part of the Netflix family for a long time and has been recognized before for awards. So, she gave an incredible performance. "Not surprised at all by her nom. We thought that she would and should absolutely get it. So, to me, that's great, that work. That work was completed and people loved it, and she was amazing and then gets recognised for it." She claimed the focus is more on how "great" the programme and Uzo both were. Bela also claimed Netflix will back cancelled shows in award season just as much as those on air. She added: "We're gonna support— yeah! I mean for her and the show, like, we did — of course. "Here's the thing: I think what people forget is, like I said before, we developed it, we championed it, we really marketed — we did all of the things. "And they're all people involved who we work with and continue to work with and will continue to — so we're always going to support that, for sure."
