Sonny Liston: The Champ Nobody Wanted
He was the most feared man in boxing—a glowering, unstoppable force with a criminal past and ties to the mob. But Sonny Liston’s reign as heavyweight champion was as brief as it was controversial. This episode of Biography explores the life of the man who rose from a prison boxing program to the pinnacle of the sport, only to be dethroned by a young Cassius Clay. From the 'phantom punch' to his mysterious and lonely death in Las Vegas, we look behind the scowl of the champion that America refused to love.
If you’re on the hunt for a TV series that combines historical charm with family drama and a touch of humor, look no further than "The Little History of France." This French show has quickly gained popularity for its unique premise: it explores the lives and relationships of famous historical figures' cousins. With five seasons and an impressive 517 episodes, this series promises to keep viewers entertained while imparting bits of history in an engaging format.
At the heart of "The Little History of France" are its vibrant characters, each expertly portrayed by a talented cast. Alban Ivanov shines as François d'Arc, effortlessly bringing humor to his role while also highlighting the complexities that come with being part of a notable family. Alongside him is David Salles as Jean Plancher, whose previous roles have shown his versatility as an actor. The ensemble cast also features Ophélia Kolb as Ysabeau, Karina Marimon as Renata Plancher, and François Levantal playing Comte Philippe Honoré de Roche Saint-Pierre—a character sure to intrigue fans with his aristocratic flair.
One aspect that sets "The Little History of France" apart from other shows is its clever blending of comedy with historical narratives. Much like other popular shows such as "Relatively Nat & Liv" or "Cousins for Life," it dives deep into familial ties but does so through a humorous lens that keeps audiences laughing while they learn. The creators Frank Cimière, Jamel Debbouze, and Laurent Tiphaine skillfully craft episodes filled with witty dialogues and unexpected twists that make even history buffs chuckle.
