There's an interesting show headed your way on H2, and I have a giveaway for you to help celebrate. America's Book of Secrets aims to dig deep into our nation's secrets, and reveal a host of mysteries. Check out more info below, including a preview video, and enter to win some cool H2 items here, and check out another giveaway H2 is running through Facebook. America’s Book of Secrets uncovers … [Read more...]
The second season of Being Human kicks off on Syfy on January 16th, and the show delivered well enough the first season to warrant some real excitement when it comes to how things will continue on. It's becoming increasingly rare that British translations work out, and this one has been a welcome surprise. To help kick things off, I have a couple of very cool clips, and an interview with the … [Read more...]
A couple of FOX's big shows, mainly Bones and Fringe, have outstayed their welcome really, but Bones is at least trying to provide some more entertainment for its fans, sort of. Billed to some extent as a spin-off, despite having no justifiable claim to the idea, The Finder may nevertheless turn into a hit based on some theory we might connect to the general idea of spin-offs. Generally … [Read more...]
In the realm of reality shows with questionable audience interest, Dance Moms lives in a special place that makes its popularity especially difficult to understand. Generally, the arena of reality television I like to refer to as the "negative viewership" branch is split into two groups - the screaming, and the odd. I say negative viewership, because by and large (one hopes) people aren't … [Read more...]
It has quickly become a holiday tradition, and this year Syfy pulls out all the stops for themed episodes of Warehouse 13, Haven, and the unfortunately already axed Eureka. This season, you're really in for a special treat, at least, if you can stomach a send off visit to the town with all the smartest people in the world, because the Eureka episode is animated. Haven also gets seriously decked … [Read more...]
I Hate My Teenage Daughter is a curious, but largely understandable, result of the trend in reality television and the absorption of that trend into the collective psyche. This is actually true of another new show this season, Suburgatory, and the two shows are largely cut from the same cloth. Those who are not overly familiar with reality television as viewers, but only insofar as they are … [Read more...]
MTV is full of fun today, and while you may think that has something to do with the clip of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt.1 that is being revealed tonight, it actually has a lot more to do with the info that Awkward. is coming to DVD on November 14th. That show blew me away from the first episode, and even though there were a few rough patches throughout the season, it's still a … [Read more...]
Burn Notice returns to USA this Thursday, and I have an awesome prize pack giveaway to celebrate. You've probably noticed that I try to capitalize on every opportunity to promote Burn Notice, and this time, I really have a cool package. The series is returning with some incredible action, and the next few episodes look to really shake things up. To kick things off, we're headed off to Puerto … [Read more...]
Grimm comes to NBC tonight, and while viewers probably feel they have all the information they need from the previews, there may be more here than most think... though I'm not sure what. Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) is a Portland detective, and as far as he's concerned, life is going along rather smoothly. There have been a few minor hiccups recently, like seeing people's faces turn into … [Read more...]
USA's hot property Covert Affairs is returning on November 1st, and I have a very special "Jet Setter Pack" giveaway to celebrate. The series left off in pretty tricky circumstances at the end of the summer, and we kick things of with "Wake Up Bomb," an episode that changes things up a bit for Annie. As I'm sure you know, Annie's hopes of having a normal life (and speaking to her sister) went … [Read more...]
It's hard to believe how long ago it was that I first interviewed James Roday, and even then he was hinting at wanting to do a vampire episode. It's finally here, and tonight's "This Episode Sucks," is everything PSYCH-O's could hope for. Tonight at 10pm on USA, not only do you get a vampire episode, which is cool enough on its own, but the episode features guest appearances by "retro vampires" … [Read more...]
The pre-mid-season efforts from the major networks are a wild affair at the best of times, and this season we're seeing just how far this unique mix of shows can go. With ABC's Once Upon a Time and NBC's Grimm kicking off rather near each other, we're about to find out if audiences are ready for the strangest of the strange to show their faces on network television. We saw a certain amount of … [Read more...]
We've entered that time of year that is a sort of television black hole, and I can hardly imagine something that better showcases this idea than ABC's Man Up!, a show that gives the impression that the writers are running out of material before the pilot ends. A kind of shtick series (think the pilot of Cougar Town), which one imagines will be forced to "level out" before, Man Up! centers around … [Read more...]
Nick Swardson's Pretend Time has already kicked off its second season, and I wanted to make sure you're all tuning in, and offer up some incentive. The completely wild sketch show which also features cuts of Swardson performing stand-up premiered the second season at the beginning of the month, and you can catch it Wednesdays at 10:30/9:30c. If you've missed out so far, Comedy Central is very good … [Read more...]
So, that may or may not have managed to get your attention. If you have absolutely no idea what the title may be referring to, Kurt Sutter is the writer/producer of Sons of Anarchy (he also worked on The Shield, and appears on Sons as Otto), and he apparently went off on TV Bloggers, especially those (I guess) who put out episodic recaps/opinions. I imagine some number of said TV Bloggers must … [Read more...]
It's that special time of year right now in the world of television. You know what it is. It's a few weeks after the big fall premieres, so it's time to start hearing about all the shows that are already done. It gets worse and worse every year, and with each new fall push, more and more people turn to cable networks, who at least stand behind their shows long enough to get more than four episodes … [Read more...]
