TUTV has a new show on our programming schedule, this time a spoof of every college girl’s favorite guilty pleasure TV show. Dream Man is a sitcom about the production of a show similar to The Bachelor, except that all of the girls hate the man for whom they’re supposed to be competing.
Created by Temple students Holly Guepfel and Sam Berit, Dream Man works as a show-within-a-show, depicting both the dating reality show and the behind the scenes reality of the production. Watch the trailer above, and tune in to TUTV on Wednesday, February 7 at 1 and 9 p.m. to see the premiere.

#YearOfGrog is a year-long series of new sketches by the creators of Grog Show featuring their unique brand of off-beat humor and surreal shenanigans. Starting now, we’ll have a new set of Grog sketches for you to watch each month of this year.
The first installment appears below and includes the sketches “Billboard,” “Where Has Grog Been?” and “Will You Be in Our Movie?” Watch now:
Also, a lot of rumors have been swirling around about what happened to the Grog Show cast and creators since leaving Temple and ceasing Grogperations. This should clear all of that up.
The release date of the fourth adaptation of A Star is Born is set for this year, directed by none other than Philly’s own Bradley Cooper, and this time starring Lady Gaga as the titular star. Since the prototypical Hollywood fable is coming (back) soon to a theater near you, it seems high time to go all the way back to the beginning, to a 1937 Technicolor picture produced by David O. Selznick. The original stars Janet Gaynor as an idealistic aspiring actress who finds success, but at what cost? Tune in to TUTV Sunday, February 4 at 1 and 9 p.m. to find out.
A new semester brings us a whole new season of TUTV’s sports news show OwlSports Update. Tune in to TUTV on Thursday, January 25 at noon to see the live premiere and get caught up on everything Temple sports.
