Oh, glee, how I love you. Why did you stay away for so long? I take no shame in my unabashed love for this show. From the very first moment of the pilot, I was enthralled, and my love grew and grew, right up to the big sectionals episode. Then, in their infinite wisdom, Fox took glee away from the adoring throngs, and made us wait. A not uncommon move by a network these days, but annoying nonetheless. Anyhoo, as much as I love, I was fully...
To admit liking these shows, well, it kinda blows my cover. I take pride in being a big fan of action adventure and sci fi shows. The cool shows, like Battlestar and Lost and boy shows like 24 and Human Target. A procedural bores me to tears (CSI or Law & Order? Ugh). I find shows about suburban families inconsequential (Desperate Housewives or Parenthood? Stab me in the eye with a fork, please). But somehow, these two shows have won my...
Tonight’s start to the two-night, four-hour season premiere is a bit different from the usual: It’s two hours, but it doesn’t start until 9 p.m. As my buddy Adam over at The Jack Sack commented, there are some little old ladies who are in for a nasty surprise tonight when they turn on Channel 5 (New York) and discover that, instead of that nice Ernie Anastos (or whoever they have on Sundays), Jack’s throttling some...
I was quite happy to hear Fringe would be back this week and intrigued, to say the least, that the second episode, airing on Monday, Jan. 11, is an unaired one from Season 1. Thursday’s episode is called “Unearthed.” (Note: Some blogs, including some linked to below, have said Fringe isn’t back until Jan. 11, Monday, but the Fox site itself says it’s this Thursday. I’m going with Fox.) And to make things even...
As it is with every year, a whole bunch of science fiction-y shows were canceled at the end of the season, but I have to give it to the networks for trying a bunch of new ones next year. It was so hard to keep track of the comings and goings during the upfronts, but SciFi Wire thankfully charted it all in a very understandable fashion. The clear winner, IMHO, is Fox. Sure, Fox canceled Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, better known as...
