Kiefer Sutherland’s New Series is West Wing Meets Homeland
24's Kiefer Sutherland returns to TV thriller territory in ABC's upcoming Designated Survivor, playing a lower Cabinet member, Tom Kirkman, who gets sworn in as president after an explosion claims the lives of the acting president and everyone above him in the chain of succession.
Sutherland, along with co-stars and creators, appeared at the Television Critics Association summer press tour to answer a few questions about the new series. "I think there are a few tones at play in the show," revealed executive producer Jon Harmon Feldman (Blood & Oil). "I do think there is a West Wing component of a man governing and his team governing our nation at this critical time. There's also the, if you will, Homeland aspect of an investigation into the conspiracy. And it's also got a House of Cards component, which is the characters and the business of government through the eyes of these characters and the political dealings and dealmakers."
The Top 10 Curb Your Enthusiasm Episodes
In its early days, Curb Your Enthusiasm was better known as "Seinfeld with cursing," but as it grew in popularity, Larry David's vehicle series went from being a spiritual continuation of its predecessor to one of the great sitcoms of all time. (Some might even say it rivals Seinfeld at this point.)
Now, with a brand new season (finally!) on the way next year, we're taking a look back at the HBO series and giving you our Top 10 Episodes of the show so far. Although, to be frank, this was a tough one to narrow down to just 10. Not unlike Seinfeld, there are tons of installments that could easily make the cut: "The Car Pool Lane," "Krazee-Eyes Killa," "The Corpse-Sniffing Dog" -- heck, even the worst episodes are still enjoyable. So be sure to give us your favorites in the comments below!

This morning at QuakeCon 2016, Bethesda and Arkane Studios revealed the first look at gameplay for the upcoming Prey game.

Pokemon Go Companies Sued Over Trespassing Issues
A lawsuit has been filed against Nintendo, Niantic Labs and the Pokemon Company, after a number of individuals trespassed on a the property of a man from New Jersey.
According to Polygon, the lawsuit states that "at least five individuals knocked on plaintiff’s door and asked for access to plaintiff’s backyard in order to 'catch' Pokémon that the game had placed in plaintiff’s residence in West Orange, New Jersey — without plaintiff’s permission."
The plaintiff, whose name is Jeffrey Marder, is claiming that developer Niantic Labs set Pokemon Gyms and Pokestops on his property without first getting his consent. According to Marder, the people playing Pokemon Go on his property are interfering with his quality of life, and the companies behind the title are profiting off a game that causes players to trespass on private property.
