Patrick Dempsey to Lead Fox Drama Series Memory of a Killer About Hitman With Early Onset Alzheimer's
McDreamy is returning to network television — but this time, he's going to do a lot of harm. Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy) has been tapped to lead the new Fox drama series Memory of a Killer, the network announced during its Upfront presentation Monday. Set to premiere sometime during the 2025–2026 TV season, the series is inspired by the 2003 Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer (La Memoire Du Tueur). Dempsey stars as Angelo Ledda, 'a hitman leading a dangerous double life, while hiding an even deadlier personal secret,' according to Fox.

The Current Outlook for Cleaning Lady, Alert: MPU and 2 Others Spoiler alert: that 'personal secret' is that Angelo develops early onset Alzheimer's. This presents a number of complications for Angelo, especially as he juggles his two personas: 'fearsome NYC hitman and sleepy upstate Cooperstown photocopier salesman and father' 'Alzheimer's is a foe he can't outrun, and he knows too well how this ends, as his older brother is already lost to the condition,' reads the official logline. 'Angelo is exceptionally resourceful and talented, the best of the best. But he's about to be tested like never before — and now every minute counts. This is only made more difficult when he discovers that his wife's recent death may not have been an accident. So, when someone comes after his daughter — who is pregnant — it's clear the wall between his lives has been breached. Angelo must stop whoever's coming for his family by searching his past hits for clues, and the list is very long.' The logline continues: 'Now Angelo must hunt down his mortal enemy while continuing to carry out hits without giving away his diagnosis and still making it home in time to cook dinner for his daughter. Memory of a Killer is a redemptive story about a man who is losing his memory but gaining a conscience. Because Angelo knows he must stop history from repeating itself and save his family — before he forgets the past.' Memory of a Killer was developed by Ed Whitmore and Tracey Malone, who are executive-producing alongside Cathy Schulman, Arthur Sarkissian, Martin Campbell and Peter Bouckaert. 2025-26 TV Preview: Every New Comedy, Drama and Unscripted Show View List Best of TVLine Stars Who Almost Played Other TV Roles — on Grey's Anatomy, NCIS, Lost, Gilmore Girls, Friends and Other Shows TV Stars Almost Cast in Other Roles Fall TV Preview: Who's In?

Here Are 7 Long-Running TV Shows Still On Air—Are They Worth The Binge?
Ever feel like some TV shows have been on air since the dawn of time? Let's dive into 7 series that seem to have found the fountain of youth. Are they still binge-worthy, or just background noise at this point? 1. Grey's Anatomy – Still scrubbing in or time to pull the plug? ABC Network / Via Status: Still beating (barely). Remember when Grey's Anatomy first aired, and we all had a crush on McDreamy? Fast forward to today, and Meredith has seen more drama than a soap opera marathon. While the show has given us iconic moments, the never-ending cast changes and wild medical scenarios might have you wondering if it's time to call it. 2. The Simpsons – From yellow fever to feeling blue? Fox/ Global / Via Status: Immortal but inconsistent. With The Simpsons predicting everything from smartwatches to certain political events, you have to wonder if they have a crystal ball in the writer's room. While the golden years are untouchable, newer episodes can be hit or miss. Worth watching? Maybe for occasional chuckles, but longtime fans often stick to reruns. 3. Law & Order: SVU – Dun dun! Still delivering justice? NBC / Via Status: Holding steady. Mariska Hargitay's Olivia Benson is a TV icon, and SVU remains one of the more consistent long-runners. While some plots feel recycled, the show still tackles timely cases and keeps us hooked. If crime dramas are your thing, this one still delivers. Bonus: the Law & Order tune will never get old. 4. Family Guy – Is the Griffin Family still flying high? Fox / Via Status: Hit or miss. Seth MacFarlane's animated sitcom is either hilarious or completely off-putting, depending on who you ask. Earlier seasons were full of smart (if crude) humor, but later ones lean heavily on shock value. If you don't mind uneven quality, you'll find some laughs here and there—just don't expect peak Family Guy every episode. 5. NCIS – Naval crimes or navigating retirement? CBS / Via Status: Dad's favorite show is still chugging along. If you love formulaic crime procedurals, NCIS remains a comfort watch. It's not groundbreaking, but its steady mix of action, humor, and heartfelt moments keeps it afloat. That said, if you're not already a fan, it's unlikely to win you over now. But hey, your dad still loves it! 6. South Park – Still pushing buttons or pushing daisies? Comedy Central / Via Status: Still edgy, but hit or miss. Trey Parker and Matt Stone's animated satire has managed to stay relevant by tackling current events with no filter. Some episodes feel like instant classics, while others fall flat, making it a show you love or avoid. If you appreciate its no-holds-barred approach, it's still worth watching—just be prepared for some cringe along with the laughs. 7. The Walking Dead AMC - The Walking Dead / Via

Sun Home Luminar Sauna Review: No Steam
For the past few weeks, my 10-year-old daughter has had a little ritual. Once she gets home from school, she grabs her library book and disappears into the backyard. She turns on the backyard Sun Home Luminar sauna, sets the temperature to 120 degrees, and sits in the room reading, fully clothed. I once went outside to find five neighborhood kids sitting there, chatting and warming up. I live in Portland, Oregon, which has a healthy sauna culture—probably because in an area that's so gray and rainy, saunas have become an important tool to fight seasonal depression. Not only do I have a standing account at a local wellness center, I also joined a gym near my house to sit in the sauna. When I was offered the opportunity to test a widely available at-home sauna, I jumped at the chance. McDreamy, Not McSteamy There are a few things you need to keep in mind if you're looking at this particular sauna from Sun Home. The first is that this is an infrared sauna, not a traditional sauna with löyly—that is, the steam that comes when you pour water on the heating elements. Photograph: Adrienne So There are devotees of both traditional and infrared saunas, and they can argue back and forth basically forever (and do). Traditional saunas are more likely to catch on fire. Infrared saunas are drier and thus more sanitary and easier to maintain. The health benefits of traditional saunas have been far more widely studied, and so on. For my purposes, the two main differences are that traditional saunas tend to be more expensive (indeed, Sun Home offers one for a cool $15,000), and in an IR sauna, you need to be dry when you sit in it so you don't electrocute yourself on the heating panels.
