Stranger Things: Parks and Rec Connection ‘Confirmed’
Ben Schwartz, who stars as Jean-Ralphio Sapperstein in Parks and Recreation, has come forward to "confirm" that his character is indeed related to Joe Keery's Steve Harrington from Stranger Things.
A crossover theory emerged when fans noticed the striking similarity between Jean-Ralphio and Steve Harrington. As such, some began to speculate that Steve eventually becomes Jean-Ralphio's father. Schwartz has since "confirmed" the connection in a skit that aired during an episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden.
Stranger Things made its Netflix debut earlier this year to much critical acclaim. Series co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer already have a few ideas for the future of Stranger Things, and are even looking into creating a video game that leads into a second season.

You Can Now Stream Any Blizzard Game on Facebook
Blizzard Streaming, the developer's foray into the world of live streaming gameplay, launched today. The feature allows its PC users to broadcast any Blizzard game straight through the Battle.net client.
A new update to the client adds the feature and allows Facebook users to connect their accounts. There are a few settings to fiddle with, like stream title and webcam adjustments, but it's a short process before players can be up and running live. Facebook streamers have the ability to manage their audience on Facebook, too.
Blizzard Streaming is live now in the Americas, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Worldwide access is coming soon, the press release stated. Streaming is limited only to Blizzard's PC users right now, but the update will be available on Mac soon.
Marvel Teases Mystery Comic Called “MU”
Marvel just released a cryptic teaser image for a new comic book project called "MU." True to form, this teaser doesn't reveal much more than the title and creative team.
Whatever MU is, it'll feature Civil War artist Steve McNiven and current Uncanny X-Men writer Cullen Bunn. Interestingly, McNiven has top billing on the teaser, which could suggest he's co-writing the book with Bunn as well as drawing.
Destiny Community Raised $500K for Charity
A weeklong Destiny live stream amassed more than $500,000 for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
The Twitch stream, which as of publishing is in the middle of a bonus stream to continue raising funds, was broadcast ahead of the Destiny Community Convention being held in Tampa, Florida on August 27. All profits from the event will be donated to St. Jude's.
According to CNBC, the stream shatters the the record of previous donations provided to the hospital by gaming community fundraisers, the biggest of which before this stream's was a $250,000 donation.
Gotham Showrunner: Superheroes Don’t Work Well on TV
Gotham showrunner and executive producer Bruno Heller explained why James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is the main character in Fox's comic-inspired series, saying that superheroes don't translate all that well to television.
"I don’t think superheroes work very well on TV," Heller told The Hollywood Reporter at the Edinburgh Television Festival.
As for why he believes this to be the case, Heller said it's "probably because of the costume thing," adding that "TV is about real people and faces, and not so much about magic and the supernatural things."
Gotham: Season 3 premieres on Monday, September 19 at 8/7c. While you patiently wait for the return of FOX's Batman prequel series, take a look at these 9 things we learned about Season 3, as well as this first look at Benedict Samuel's Mad Hatter.
Fear the Walking Dead: Is Alicia becoming the Leader?
Given how many TV shows don’t actually film in the actual area they take place in, it was refreshing to visit set of Fear the Walking Dead where they were filming scenes set in Mexico that were being filmed... in Mexico!
It was an early morning on this spring day in Rosarito, Mexico as the cast and crew get to work on a scene you’ll see in this coming Sunday’s episode, “Los Muertos.” Having sat out the Nick-centric midseason premiere, “Los Muertos” catches us up with Madison (Kim Dickens), Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey), Ofelia (Mercedes Mason) and Strand (Colman Domingo), as we see what their next step is, now that they’ve lost track of everyone else they were traveling with – or as Mason joked, they’d been split into “The cool kids and the not-cool kids. Obviously we’re the not-cool kids!”
Fall TV Preview
While we're bombarded by new TV shows all year round at this point, nothing beats fall when it comes to an avalanche of offerings. With the likes of Netflix, Amazon and Hulu providing stiff competition for network and cable series, the landscape's more crowded than ever these days.
On the cable front, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story and Ash vs Evil Dead are all back this fall, while HBO debuts Westworld. Meanwhile, the networks go big on the reboot game as well, with FOX's Lethal Weapon and The Exorcist, CBS' MacGyver, and the CW's Frequency.
Oh, and we're not done with superheroes on TV yet by a long shot. Not only does Netflix's Luke Cage series debut, but Ghost Rider joins Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. Also, Supergirl makes the switch over to the CW, revving us up for a four-series mega crossover event that also includes Arrow, Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow.
