Joe Otterson TV Reporter A “Golden Axe” animated series has been greenlit at Comedy Central, Variety has learned. Based on the beloved Sega games of the same name, the show hails from co-creators Mike McMahan and Joe Chandler.

“General Hospital” by my mother’s side in the ’80s — it was all about Cliff (Peter Bergman) and Nina (Taylor Miller) on “AMC,” Vicki (Erika Slezak) and Clint (Clint Ritchie) on “OLTL” and, of course, Luke (Anthony Geary) and Laura (Genie Francis) on “GH.”But when Jessie (Darnell Williams) and Angie (Debbi Morgan) came along on “AMC,” it was the first time I ever saw a black supercouple sudsing up our TV screen — likely in VHS recordings that my mom would make so I could watch after school.While I would forever stay loyal to my ABC soaps — although when we went down Grandma’s house, it was all about “The Young and the Restless,” “Guiding Light” and “As the World Turns” on CBS — I couldn’t help but feel like progress had been made when the groundbreaking soap “Generations” premiered on NBC in March 1989 with a predominantly black cast.Flash forward 35 years — and 33 years after “Generations” was canceled in 1991 — and there is a new black soap coming to daytime just when the genre had seemed to be on its last suds.On Monday, CBS announced a series order for “The Gates” — which “follows the lives of a wealth Black family in a posh, gated community”— that is set to premiere in January 2025.The new soap on the block — which will have Michele Val Jean (“The Bold & the Beautiful,” “General Hospital”), a black multiple Daytime Emmy winner, as writer, showrunner and executive producer — was developed in a joint venture between CBS and the NAACP.Look how far we’ve come, Jessie and Angie.But in addition to seeing black folks go through all that drama that makes us escape our own lives for just a bit, “The Gates” also marks the return of daytime soaps that were all but obliterated from network TV in the bloodbath of the late ’00s

As he belted out, “New York State of Mind,” he changed the lyrics to include a shout-out to The Post.The TV concert special taped in March but aired Sunday night on CBS. During the verse where the song traditionally invokes the New York Times and the Daily News, Joel instead sang, “Out of touch with the rhythm and blues/ But now I need a little give and take / Who, oh, oh whoa, who / The New York Post / Newsday too.” The song still mentioned the Times and Daily News in an earlier verse.
