"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
said. That was enough to make Nielsen's top 10 for the week, and CBS says "Extant" picks up significant time-shifted viewership. But it's not the big splash that TV's most popular network was expecting for its highest-profile new drama of the summer, which was beaten last week by reruns of two "NCIS" dramas. Struggling Fox must shudder to think where it would be this summer without Gordon Ramsey. The season debut of "Hotel Hell," in which the cranky chef takes on the hospitality industry, was behind only "Master Chef" and "Hell's Kitchen" as the network's most popular show last week. CBS won the week with an average of 5.4 million viewers. Led by two airings of "America's Got Talent," easily the week's most popular program, NBC averaged 5.2 million viewers. ABC had 3.9 million, Univision had 3.2 million, Fox had 2.8 million, Telemundo had 1.3 million and ION Television had 1.2 million. TNT was the week's most popular cable network, averaging 2.24 million viewers in prime time. USA had 2.15 million, the Disney Channel had 2.08 million, Fox News Channel had 1.78 million and History had 1.62 million. NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 7.8 million viewers.

NEW YORK (AP) Jacquie Whitt's trip to the Galapagos with a group of teenagers was memorable not just for the scenery and wildlife, but also for the way the kids preserved their memories. It was, said Whitt, a "selfie fest." For this generation, "digital devices are now part of the interpretive experience," said Whitt, co-founder of Adios Adventure Travel. Indeed, many parents love seeing their kids taking selfies and posting to social media when they travel. It shows "they are engaged and excited about where they are and what they are doing," said Susan Austin, a photographer and Iowa mom. "To some, it might be bragging, but I think it's more about a way today's teens connect with and feel part of a group." But some adults think there's a downside to vacation selfies. They see them as narcissistic distractions that can detract from the travel experience.

He didnt disparage anyones credentials. His reaction was very calm, Samini said. He didnt see this as the final battleground. This is one stage of a long war. This is one battle. We had hoped for a different result, but this is not the end. Samini insists these arent the words of a battered boxer stumbling out for Round 12. Donald Sterling and his lawyers still have a plan, and while winning in court Monday would have been nice, it was never necessary. This is not the front that gets them to a sale, Samini said. They had to win this in order to get anywhere. Donald Sterling and his lawyers have three real ways they can stop the sale of the Clippers to Steve Ballmer and get what they have wanted for some time NBA intercession. First, Levanas ruling will be written and filed with the court Tuesday afternoon, giving Donald Sterlings team 10 days to object to Levanas decision.

"wanted to quit" acting after working with Kiefer Sutherland Getty Images More + Freddie Prinze Jr. says he had such a bad experience acting opposite Kiefer Sutherland that it made him want to give up acting altogether. The "She's All That" actor co-starred alongside Sutherland on "24" in 2010, and now reveals he "hated every moment of it." Celebrities converge in San Diego for the annual convention celebrating all things TV, movies, comics and video games "I did '24,' it was terrible. I hated every moment of it," Prinze told ABC News at Comic-Con in San Diego. "Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to his face, I think everyone that's worked with him has said that." "I just wanted to quit the business after that. So, I just sort of stopped," the 38-year-old father of two added. "I went and worked for Vince McMahon at the WWE for Christ's sake and it was a crazier job than working with Kiefer," Prize said. "But, at least he was cool and tall. I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do.

progressed from teen hits like She's All That and I Know What You Did Last Summer in the 1990s to a role in the TV thriller 24 in 2010, apparently he couldn't leave the high school-style drama behind. According to Prinze, working with Kiefer Sutherland on the popular show nearly led him to quit acting altogether. "I did 24, it was terrible. I hated every moment of it," Prinze, 38, told ABC News while at Comic-Con promoting his new Disney XD series Star Wars Rebels. "I just wanted to quit the business after that. So, I just sort of stopped." "Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world," Prinze continued. "That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to his face. I think everyone that's worked with him has said that." Prinze's scorched-earth comments continued: "I went and worked for Vince McMahon at the WWE, for Christ's sake but, at least he was cool and tall. I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do [at 24].

The first issue opens with our main cast of characters staging a daring raid on an Imperial Weapons Factory. As you might imagine, things don't quite go exactly as planned. For Waids Princess Leia, the aftermath of the Death Star battle gives the heroine time to reflect on all she's lost, the writer explained. Rather than choose to remain the princess of nothing, she resolves to find a way to preserve the memory and culture of her race, and that's our story. (Waid said that his aim with the series was to demonstrate that Carrie Fishers character is easily the most layered, most complex and multifaceted character in the entire Star Wars mythos.) That same destruction of the Death Star has united states an entirely different impact on Darth Vader, turning him into what Gillen described as the sole survivor of the greatest military disaster of all time inside the Galactic Empire. I see my run continuing to the start of Empire, he explained. It bridges the gap, and explores all the real emotional meat in there. To state the obvious, we never see Darth realize that X-wing pilot who was strong in the force is actually his son. That's a huge thing. That Darth actually starts Empire seemingly in a stronger position in the Empire than in [the first movie] is also telling. Although the series will interrelate to some degree If you read all the books, you'll be able to see how they interact, where they cross paths and whatnot. But at the same time, I think you could read any one of them by itself and get a complete story, Aaron said each of the three titles will have a different tone and ambition. Cassaday likens the core title to the original movie: Im not looking at this as an addition to the core stories of Star Wars and Empire, rather my approach is that this is gospel as if this was an in-between movie, he said. Were connecting the dots that are the first two films.

The show was a spin-off from The Avengers and has also added Agent Carter recently, which will be screened on the U.S network, ABC. Agent Carter will have Hayley Atwell who will replay her role from Captain America. Though Agents of SHIELD faced many hurdles in the first season, Marvel intends to build on this new development as it recently penned an agreement with Netflix, Inc. ( NFLX ) for online streaming of four of Marvel's TV series along with a miniseries. Starting with "Daredevil," which is scheduled to premiere at least after a year, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage will follow, with an expectation of enhancing Marvel's business. While last year Marvel reacquired Daredevil from Twentieth Century Fox, Jessica Jones was earlier scheduled to be an ABC series. Apart from these four series, the deal with Netflix also includes a miniseries TV event, primarily based on The Defenders to be streamed. Moreover, maintaining its trend in the film business, Marvel's TV shows will also work within the same universe. Hence, all the Netflix shows will have interconnections with Agents of SHIELD and The Avengers. Both Disney and Netflix are positive about this partnership, which in turn is dependent upon the audience response to these releases. Though Agents of SHIELD had to struggle its way, as per media reports, Daredevil is likely to be a hit in the world of television as relentless effort is being invested in its making, since it is to set the theme of the "Defenders" universe.

Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. Union officials said Walt Disney World has reached a tentative labor agreement with its largest union group that raises starting hourly pay from a little over $8 to $9 this year. The agreement announced Friday raises starting hourly pay to $9.50 next year and $10 in 2016. Union members will vote whether to approve the proposed contract on Aug. 1. The contract covers 21,000 full-time workers at the Florida-based theme park resort, which has around 45,000 full-time and 25,000 part-time employees. Union officials said the contract freezes employee health care costs in 2015. Disney World and union officials have been negotiating since March, when the previous contract expired. Comments that violate the rules are subject to removal.

(AP) - A report says a 12-year-old boy suffered cuts to four fingers on Walt Disney World's Pirates of the Caribbean ride, three months before a British tourist had a similar accident. The report made public Monday by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services shows the boy lacerated his fingers in mid-April. No other details were released. The British tourist lost two fingertips on his right hand almost two weeks ago while on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler says as a precaution, guests are no longer being loaded in the back row where the two people were when they were injured. She says the ride has been inspected and is deemed safe. Copyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Lets presume for a moment that the studios behind the presentations set for this week arent merely doing it as a gift to the fans and a chance to whip up excitement among the faithful. From a marketing/advertising point-of-view, what is really gained from a Comic Con presentation? Whatever news comes out of next weekends big panels will be shared and dissected in much the same fashion as if it came from an online interview or initial theatrical teaser. Is there a single living soul who isnt already excited forAvengers: Age of Ultronthat might be swayed by whatever show Marvel has in store on Saturday night? Itll be fun and it will give us entertainment writers click-friendly material to write about over the weekend and into the next week. But like all-too-much of the marketing that occurs this far in advance, it will be merely about selling to the already sold. Will films like Fanastic Four,Jurassic Worldor Star Wars Episode VII suffer one iota at the box office because 20th Century Fox, Universal (a division of Comcast Comcast ) and Walt Disney Walt Disney chose to (apparently) not bring a panel to this years convention?The very biggest geek-centric films will live or die at the box office based on the interest of general moviegoers who have an at-best passing knowledge of what occurs at these annual conventions.Guardians of the Galaxy arguablygot far more promotional oomph via the cast interview on last MondaysJimmy Kimmel Liveshow after the official premiere earlier that evening than it will from anything unspooled at Comic Con. The success of films likeThe Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,Ant Man, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will depend on the interest of general audiences who have at-best a passing knowledge of what goes down in San Diego every year in late July. We have all too many instances of geek-centric films bringing the house down at the convention (Snakes on a Plane, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World , Dredd 3D , etc.) only to fail to break out with the masses.

In 2013, theme parks generated revenues of $11.58 billion and EBITDA of close to $3.3 billion, representing margins of around 29%. We expect the attendance as well as per capita guest spending growth to continue in the coming years, primarily due to higher consumer spending and continued increases in ticket prices. Moreover, the company has made continuous efforts to bring in new rides, which attracts first time as well as repeat visitors. How are Disney's U.S. Theme Parks and Resort Operations Trending? Higher Attendance and Guest Spending Boost Theme Parks Revenues Disney is the largest theme park operator in the world, attracting over 132 million visitors in 2013. The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida remains the most visited theme park in the world with 18.6 million visits in 2013, representing year-over-year growth of 6%. Disney's U.S. theme parks witnessed stable growth in attendance as well as per capita guest spending over the past few years. Per capita guest spending has increased from $95 in 2009 to an estimated $124 in 2013. This can be primarily attributed to higher ticket prices and a growth in domestic consumer spending.

Kacy Catanzaro is saying she would love to be the new female Thor in a movie if Disney ever gets around to introducing the latest Lady Thor twist in the comics. But what other career options is the amazing gymnast considering now that shes become famous as the twitter first woman to make it all the way through American Ninja Warrior? In a related report by The Inquisitr, Kacy revealed her training secrets for how she prepared with her boyfriend to tackle the daunting task of toppling that wall. When it was announced that a woman who was five foot tall and only 100 pounds managed to beat American Ninja Warrior, there seemed to be a lot of shock, and even skepticism, that this amazing feat could be pulled off with someone with those physical parameters. Personally, I did not find it shocking at all as a rock climber. Women in that same range of height and build often pull off crazy routes, including the best of the best professionals. For example, I recently attended a college level national championship and the only woman to complete the final route was about the same height and weight, and she went up the inverted wall like it was nothing (I could not finish even a fourth of the route without falling once). So Kacy Catanzaro is definitely mighty, and #mightykacy was even trending on Twitter at one point, but does she have enough to be Marvels Mighty Thor? Kacy told ABC that people are already telling her she would make the perfect woman Thor: Ive gotten a lot of tweets, Oh theres a new Thor, a woman, it should be you. Im like, OK, sign me up. In the short term, we definitely know Thor 3 will have Chris Hemsworth reprising his role, not a female Thor. So far, all the rumors indicate that we will see the Ragnarok storyline play out in movie theaters, but that does not mean we wont see something drastically different for Thor 4, which would be a good number of years down the road. Marvel has been making monumental changes lately, including introducing a superior Iron Man which reinvents Tony Stark , and the idea of a female Thor has been very controversial in some circles.

Skating sessions are available on a first come, first serve basis each day from park opening to 8 p.m. You might not think about needing to warm up in Florida in summer, but you just might need a cup of hot cocoa after spending some time on the ice or in the snowy play area. Other options available at the trading post include cupcakes featuring those royal sisters Anna and Elsa. You can really keep cool with a Frozen blue raspberry slush as well. Make sure you time your visit to the winter wonderland for the live skating show as well. And, both inside the sound stage, and at the entrance is some fun for the technically-minded.

A deal would bring him college basketball's "March Madness" championship tournament, prime time National Basketball Association (NBA) games, and Major League Baseball (MLB) games. Fox's sports rights include National Football League games, professional baseball games and NASCAR racing. In 2015 it gets the rights to women's World Cup soccer and in 2018 the men's World Cup. Disney's ESPN, with Monday Night Football, Major League Baseball games, NBA games and college football, will still be the team to beat, but for once there might be a match. "You start to put it all together and you create a significant competitor to ESPN for ratings and advertising dollars, said Marc Ganis, a sports TV consultant. In an age of DVRs and on demand viewing, sports stands out for its ability to draw television audiences which are large and watch live, two traits crucial for selling advertising, says Ed Desser, a former president of NBA Television and New Media Ventures, who advises teams and league's on their TV contracts. "It's TV's growth engine," he says. "It drives subscriber fees and keeps people watching." Ganis speculates that some key Time Warner sports, such as its professional basketball doubleheaders, could move from TNT to Fox Sports 1. Fox Sports 1 already visit their website airs major league baseball, motor sports, mixed marital arts and college football and basketball games from the larger conferences. The additions could allow Fox Sports 1, now in about 90 million homes, to add subscribers and raise the affiliate fees from cable and satellite operators that make up the majority of its revenues.
