Star World to air third season of ‘Yes Dear’
MUMBAI: Come 23 May, and Star World will be bringing the third season of the sitcom Yes Dear.
The sitcom will be aired on Mondays at 9 pm and revolves around two young parents and their outrageously contrasting views on parenting. The two young couple teeter-totters between setting certain things good and certain things bad.
At present, the third season is on air in the US on CBS.
The show charts around Greg (Anthony Clark) and Kim Warner (Jean Louisa Kelly) who struggle on a daily basis to become perfect at the job.
Kim is a neurotic stay-at-home mother. Her husband Greg is a success in his career, but his more difficult job is keeping his wife calm as they raise two young children.
While Kim is determined to be the perfect mother and perfect wife and to raise the perfect children, her sister Christine Hughes (Liza Snyder), a very down-to-earth mother of two, continually reminds her that life will never be perfect.
And Christine’s husband, Jimmy (Mike O’Malley), often feels compelled to share his philosophy about being a husband and a parent while still remaining a man – whether Greg wants to hear it or not.
In the first episode of the season three – Spanks – when Christine catches Dominic lying again, she goes to Jimmy, who decides that he has to put his foot down. But when Jimmy’s tough talk doesn’t stop Dominic from lying, he plans to give Dominic his first spanking, against Kim’s advice.

Ellison takes his Paramount-Warner Bros case straight to theater owners
The Skydance chief goes to CinemaCon with promises and a skeptical crowd waiting
CALIFORNIA: David Ellison strode into a room packed with thousands of cinema owners and executives at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Thursday and did something rather bold: he looked them in the eye and asked them to trust him.
The chief executive of Paramount Skydance vowed that his company would release a minimum of 30 films a year if regulators greenlight its proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery, a deal that has made theater owners deeply, and loudly, nervous.
“I wanted to look every single one of you in the eye and give you my word,” Ellison told the crowd. “Once we combine with Warner Bros, we are going to make a minimum of 30 films annually across both studios.”
It was a confident pitch. Whether it landed is another matter. Cinema operators have already called on regulators to block the deal, and scepticism in the room was hardly concealed.
Ellison pushed back by pointing to recent form. Paramount, born from the merger of Paramount Global and Skydance Media last August, plans to release 15 films this year, nearly double the eight it put out in 2025. Progress, he argued, was already underway.
He also threw theater owners a bone they have long been chasing: all films, he pledged, would run exclusively in cinemas for a minimum of 45 days, drawing applause from a crowd that has spent years fighting for exactly that commitment across the industry.
“People can speculate all they want,” Ellison said, “but I am standing here today telling you personally that you can count on our complete commitment. And we’ll show you we mean it.”
Fine words. The regulators, however, will have the last one.
