You Can Now Take a ‘Stranger Things’ Inspired Bath With This Bath Bomb

1. William H. Macy

You may best know William H. Macy as drunken patriarch Frank Gallagher on Shameless or as the surprising voice of the narrator in Curious George. These two wildly different roles just go to show how diverse his talent is.

Still, you might not remember how William even made an early appearance on Law & Order in the very first episode of the series, playing Assistant US Attorney John McCormack in the pilot.

While this debut wasn't particularly memorable, he did get a second shot at redemption in Season 2. That time around, he played Jack Powell, the director of a teen shelter suspected of abuse.

2. Amanda Seyfried

Everyone knows Amanda Seyfried for her breakout role as ditzy Karen Smith in Mean Girls. More recently, you might've seen her viral rendition of "California" by Joni Mitchell on The Tonight Show going viral across social media platforms.

However, she also appeared in a Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode and played Tandi McCain, a teen girl who was found beaten and duct-taped under a bench in a new dormitory. This impactful performance couldn't have been a wider divergence from her Mean Girls character.

3. Stephen Colbert

Before Stephen Colbert became known for his sharp political commentary (and endless impersonations of Donald Trump), he also started off as an actor just trying to make it in Hollywood. One of his early TV roles came in 2004 when he appeared on Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Stephen portrayed James Bennett, a counterfeiter whose actions threaten to ruin a Catholic charity. This role was far removed from his typical comedic persona and offered a rare glimpse at Stephen's darker acting abilities.

4. Bradley Cooper

Prior to becoming the heartthrob we all know and love today, Bradley Cooper was already proving he had the chops to play some seriously twisted characters. During a Law & Order appearance, he portrayed Jason Whitaker, a psychotic lawyer whose dark past catches up with him.

What makes Bradley's guest spot even more interesting is that it was part of a crossover event between Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and the spin-off Law & Order: Trial By Jury. His storyline begins on SVU and continues in the latter.

5. John Krasinski

Before John Krasinski became a household name for his role as Jim Halpert on The Office, he showcased his darker side on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. He played Jace Gleesing, a troubled high school basketball player suspected of murdering a private investigator.

Viewers got to see John act as a wildly different character than the lovable and quirky paper salesman he's most known for today.

6. Robin Williams

Robin Williams is remembered for his iconic roles in both comedy and drama and his performance in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is no exception.

In the Season 9 episode "Authority," he portrayed Merritt Rook, a sound engineer turned anti-authoritarian criminal mastermind. Merritt is pushed to the edge after the tragic loss of his wife and unborn child, setting him on a path of revenge, and Robin's captivating performance even earned him an Emmy nomination.

7. Julia Roberts

During the ninth season of Law & Order, Julia Roberts also made a memorable guest appearance. When a millionaire investor died shortly after backing a new sports stadium, the investigation hones in on a construction entrepreneur as the prime suspect.

Julia plays Katrina Ludlow, a professional fundraiser who claims to have uncovered evidence implicating the killer. There's just one catch: she insists on delivering the evidence to Detective Rey Curtis under a set of complicated circumstances.

The star earned an Emmy for this performance, adding another achievement to her impressive resume.

8. Samuel L. Jackson

Finally, Samuel L. Jackson made an early appearance on Law & Order during its very first season. He played lawyer Louis Taggert in the episode "The Violence of Summer," which aired before his famous role as Ray Arnold in Jurassic Park.

Samuel flexed his acting muscles with some classic scenes in the interrogation room, adding even more intensity to an already dramatic show.

1. The Hogan Family

This sitcom had its fair share of drama, both on and off the screen. Originally titled Valerie, it starred Valerie Harper, who played a devoted mother raising three teenage boys while her husband, played by Josh Taylor, was frequently away for work.

However, after Valerie was fired over a contract dispute following the second season, her character was written off, and the show was rebranded as The Hogan Family, with Sandy Duncan stepping into the motherly role. It ran for a total of six seasons and starred a young Jason Bateman as one of the teen sons.

2. Kate & Allie

This sitcom was a refreshing take on family life in the 1980s. It followed two childhood friends who moved in together after getting divorced to raise their children under one roof.

Starring Susan Saint James and Jane Curtin, Kate & Allie balanced heartfelt moments with sharp humor and made for a compelling sitcom. It proved that family could be redefined in unconventional ways and became a success for CBS, running for six seasons.

3. She's the Sheriff

In this sitcom, a widowed mother of two named Hildy Granger, played by Suzanne Somers, unexpectedly finds herself taking over her late husband's job as sheriff despite having no background in law enforcement.

The show humorously followed Hildy as she stumbles through her new role for two seasons. Then, it was pulled from the air.

4. Mr. Belvedere

In Mr. Belvedere, the life of the Owens family is turned upside down after they hire a sharp-witted British butler named Mr. Belvedere, portrayed by Christopher Hewett. He brings a mix of sarcasm and sophistication to the household and forms a bond with the Owens family as he helps them navigate everyday dilemmas.

This sitcom had steady ratings and a dedicated audience, so it ran for five seasons on ABC from 1985 to 1990.

5. Eight Is Enough

This heartfelt family sitcom was based on the real-life experiences of columnist Tom Braden, who raised eight children. It served as a launching pad for several young actors and ran for 112 episodes, capturing the joys and challenges of having a big family.

However, rising production costs and declining ratings led the sitcom to have an abrupt end. It never returned for a sixth season.

6. Out Of This World

Even though it ran for four seasons and nearly 100 episodes, Out Of This World remains one of the more forgotten sitcoms of the '80s. It follows a teenage girl who learns that her father is an alien on her thirteenth birthday and is given superpowers.

While the premise had potential, the series never gained a lot of traction or reached the same level of recognition as other teen sitcoms. It faded away in 1991.

7. Empty Nest

Empty Nest debuted in 1988 as a spin-off of The Golden Girls and centered on Dr. Harry Weston, a widowed pediatrician adjusting to life without his wife. The idea was actually first introduced in a 1987 episode of The Golden Girls as a backdoor pilot, but the final version of Empty Nest looked quite different from its initial concept.

The show had trouble capturing the same interest as its predecessor and came under some scrutiny. Even so, it lasted for seven seasons and spawned its own spin-off, Nurses.

8. Designing Women

Airing from 1986 to 1993, Designing Women followed the lives of four women and one man as they ran an Atlanta-based interior design firm. The sitcom started off with solid ratings and had a loyal fan base, but frequent time slot changes by CBS caused a steady decline in viewership.

A fan campaign temporarily saved it from being canceled. Nonetheless, in 1992, it was moved to the infamous Friday night "death slot" and couldn't recover.

9. Too Close for Comfort

Too Close for Comfort has faded from pop culture memory even though it ran for six seasons. Inspired by the British series Keep It in the Family, the show starred Ted Knight as a work-from-home cartoonist navigating life in San Francisco with his wife and two adult daughters.

It mostly followed a lighthearted family sitcom formula, but it did stir controversy, most notably with an episode depicting Oakland's crime issues that sparked backlash from local politicians.

10. Square Pegs

Finally, before Sarah Jessica Parker became known for her romantic Manhattan escapades, she starred in Square Pegs. This show follows best friends Patty and Lauren, who are two socially awkward high schoolers struggling to fit in.

As they attempt to climb the social ladder, they encounter a variety of characters. Spoiler alert: they never truly fit in with any of them and continue to defy typical high schooler norms. Square Pegs only ran for a total of 20 episodes.

The Sun enters Aries on March 20, marking the start of the astrological New Year. The Spring Equinox is a time of hope and renewal, as flowers break through the frozen ground and the days grow progressively longer. Embrace the promise of spring and consciously uplift your spirit in the week ahead.

The Sun forms several beneficial aspects with other planets this week, encouraging us to explore deeply, appreciate beauty, and live with purpose and meaning.

On March 19, the Sun and Neptune align in the final degrees of Pisces, offering an opportunity to connect with our higher selves, recognize the unity of all things, and experience unconditional love. This ethereal energy is fleeting yet lingers for a few days. On March 22, the Sun conjoins Venus, the planet of earthly love, helping us rise above petty disagreements and focus on expressing and receiving love.

In the midst of the Sun’s movements, Venus forms a beneficial sextile to Pluto on March 21. This is the time to deepen connections with loved ones. Seek and share experiences that strengthen and make sacred your relationships.

Two days later, the Sun sextiles Pluto, bringing heightened focus, ambition, and determination to create meaningful change. Be mindful of obsessive tendencies and use this powerful energy to break bad habits and establish beneficial ones.
