Farrelly and Livingston in 2017 - Rick Kern/Getty Images for Entertainment WeeklyJust as it did last year with Suits, Netflix has breathed new life into a forgotten TV property.
In this case it s Loudermilk, the 2017 comedy series from Green Book Oscar winner Peter Farrelly that faded into the sunset after its streaming home, the now-defunct AT&T Audience Network, went offline for good in 2020.
More than six years later, however, the show starring Office Space s Ron Livingston as a curmudgeonly recovering alcoholic-turned-substance abuse counselor Sam Loudermilk has become a global hit shortly after debuting on Netflix.
According to Deadline, Loudermilk season 1 became one of Netflix s top 10 most-viewed shows in the U.S. after debuting in mid-January and stayed on that chart for four weeks, through February 4.
It even made the top four during the week of January 15-21, the trade reports.
The comedy also ranked on the top 10 in Canada, Australia, the U.K. and other territories.
Thirty Knots / Virgin MusicInto every life a little rain must fall even if you re the guy who sings about having your "Sunroof" open all the time.
Nicky Youre is back with a new track called "S.A.D.," which he calls his "most vulnerable song yet." He says the song comes from "a place of being overwhelmed with my own thoughts and feelings."
He adds, "This song is different for me, because it was the first time in my life that I d ever felt the way that I did when writing it. It came to me at a time when I was supposed to be the happiest I d ever been, but somehow, I felt smaller than ever. Thankfully this song and this moment in time was the start of rediscovering who I was."
In the video for the anthemic song, Nicky walks through a field with sunflowers, but when the chorus kicks in, the sky turns dark and suddenly he s singing in the pouring rain.
He sings, "I just wanna be OK alone/ I don t wanna be miserable/ I don t wanna
ABC/Eric McCandlessMusic manager Martin Kirkup died February 4 at age 75, and one of his clients, Katy Perry, has now taken to Instagram to pay tribute to him and to reveal that he approved of her new music.
"It’s taken me a little while to make this post…something about posting it makes it all feel, final," she writes. "I must respectfully take a moment and speak on how special he was and is to me."
Noting that Kirkup was one of her managers for nearly 20 years, Katy describes him as "one of my protectors," who was "vigilant about getting me what I deserved and celebrated the headstrong female I am."
"Martin and I got to climb so many wonderful professional mountains and have thoroughly enjoyed the views together - traveling, tasting, learning, celebrating, leaning into the fullness and beauty of life," she adds. "Martin left this dimension with no stones unturned!"

Matthew Peyton/Getty ImagesEveryone s favorite purple dinosaur made his grand return to wish everybody a happy Valentine’s Day.
Barney the Dinosaur shared a video to social media on Wednesday, his first message since 2010, wishing his friends a happy day filled with love.
“Hi friends. It’s me, Barney. I haven’t seen some of you in a long time. But I always make sure to check on my friends,” he said. “It seems like we could all use a little reminder right now. A reminder of the super dee duper ability we all have to love one another.”
The video seems to be aimed toward adults, those who grew up watching the character on Barney & Friends, which ran for 14 seasons and ended in 2010.
Perhaps Barney was inspired by Sesame Street’s Elmo, who started a conversation about mental health last month after a post shared on X, formerly Twitter, went viral. “Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?” the Muppet wrote.
Barney finished his video by making sure
