Awww!! If our hearts were any warmer, they'd melt polar icecaps!

NBC gave us a first glimpse of The Michael J. Fox Show and it looks AH-Mazing!!!

The Teen Wolf star teams with Breaking Bad's Betsy Brandt and The Wire's Wendell Pierce in this sitcom about a retired TV personality courageously returning to work after a Parkinson's disease diagnosis.

Ch-ch-check out the trailer (above)!

Whoa! Talk about hitting close to home!!

Since the early '90s, Michael J. Fox has done sooo much to raise awareness for the debilitating disease that affects so many.

We're continually inspired by his awesome ability to bring humor to such a delicate issue!

We can't wait to watch the show this Fall!

We've known since the day Oasis formed that Liam Gallagher CANNOT get along with his bandmate and brother Noel!

But apparently, the rocker, who now fronts The Beady Eye, simply has difficulty playing nice with just about anyone!

EVEN bad-ass actors like Idris Elba, whom you may recognize from Luther and/or Prometheus!

According to reports, the pair got into a bit of pissing match with each other while attending the NME Awards after-party held at the Ivy Club in London, which almost resulted in a physical confrontation!

According to witnesses:

"Liam was in full rock 'n' roll swagger mode. He bowled up to the party after midnight and made his presence felt pretty quickly. He had a row with a Scottish actor called Martin Compston, mocking his accent. Then he had a few words with Idris, poking fun at his bobble hat among other things. Idris looked like he was going to flatten him - they were on completely different wavelengths. They were toe-to-toe at one point. Neither of them backed down. Idris was in a good mood, so left it, which was probably for the best. Liam left soon after."

Obviously, Liam has never seen Idris on The Wire, or we doubt he would have acted so foolishly!

But thankfully, there was one member of this party who was mature enough to step back before anything really escalated to a level of ugliness we think everyone can agree was better to be avoided!

What do U think?? Team Liam or Team Idris?!

Oh no, such a sad, sad thing to have to report.

The Wire is heralded as one of the best shows of all time, and we're sad to say that Robert F. Chew, who played Proposition Joe, has been found dead in his Baltimore apartment.

Jamie Hector, who played Marlo on the show, had this to say about his fallen friend:

Yay!!! We like it when TV shows can tie their stories together in a nice bow!

Treme creator David Simon has announced that his show will return for a fourth and final season.

Much like Simon's last creation, The Wire, critics LOVE Treme but audiences don't; season two averaged only 500,000 viewers per episode.

Actress Khadi Alexander says the following on her show's conclusion:

David [Simon] has made it clear that he wants a conclusion, and it is my understanding that, as of today, we're very close to being able to have a conclusion — and I'm looking forward to that.

Season three of Treme premieres tonight after the Emmys at 9 pm EST.

The Wire was must-see TV, no doubt — but a certain element was always missing.

Levity? Optimism? Hmmm… No.

HBO’s critically-adored drama lacked CHOREOGRAPHED MUSICAL NUMBERS!!

Thankfully, Funny Or Die presents The Wire: The Musical, a HIGHlariously brilliant remedy!

This is terrible.

Stuart Chaifetz is the father of a autistic 10-year-old boy named Akian who goes to school in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

Akian's teacher told Stuart that his son was being violent in class, something that made no sense to Stuart since his son wasn't violent at all while at home.

Stuart did what any parent would do when their child has a problem - He

Seems like this is all working out pretty well!

To recap, back in March, The Wire actress Felicia "Snoop" Pearson was arrested in a drug raid that resulted in more than sixty people being brought in.

As we said before, she had previously been convicted of second-degree murder in a slaying committed when she was 14, for which she served five years of an eight-year sentence and was released in 2000….and she was ALSO arrested on a minor drug charge in 2008.
