Remembering Patrick Swayze, A ‘Ghost’ Prom, LeAnn Rimes Harmonizes, ‘Kardashians’ Now Streaming

10/9c

One of the biggest box-office draws of the late 1980s and 1990s, Patrick Swayze is profiled in the latest edition of Superstar, which celebrates his biggest hits (Ghost, Dirty Dancing) and cult favorites (Roadhouse and Point Break) with clips and interview footage from the ABC News archives. Among those reminiscing about the star who passed away in 2009 at 57 of cancer: Demi Moore, Tony Goldwyn, Liam Neeson, and family friends Debbie Allen and Jaclyn Smith.

With only one more episode left in the hit supernatural comedy’s first season, a new ghost enters the scene: Stephanie (Odessa A’Zion), a mean-girl teen from the 1980s who met a bloody end on her Prom Night after an encounter with the Hudson Valley Chainsaw Killer. Like most teens, she’d rather sleep the day (or decades) away, but now that she’s awake, she decides to organize a “Ghost Prom.” With one catch: no ”livings” allowed, which triggers unhappy memories for Sam (Rose McIver) of her own unfortunate prom experience. Best running gag: Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) sets up an Alexa in anticipation of their first B&B guests, and how the ghosts do marvel at this truly disembodied voice.
