Can Spielberg Bring Back Pinky and the Brain, too?

January 28th, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

So, let’s take a quick glimpse into the past, shall we? Indiana Jones 1 through 4, The Lovely Bones, Transformers 1 through 3, Catch Me if You Can, Band of Brothers, Hook, AI, Empire of the Sun, The Mask of Zorro, Deep Impact, MIB, Harry and the Hendersons, what an inconsistent list! Seriously, SS is […]

The Blogs are Alive, With the Sounds of TORCHWOOD

January 20th, 2010 | Posted in BBC, Daily Rants, TV

An Open Letter to Russell T Davies: Perhaps one of the ugliest rumors currently floating on the net is that you are bringing Torchwood to America, in fact to Fox TV. Such reputable sites as the Hollywood Reporter have more than just speculative articles about an American production. As a responsible blogger and dedicated fanboy, […]

3 Hours of Chuck in 24 Hours = AWESOME!

January 12th, 2010 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

Let’s face the reality that NBC is having a rough ratings time, what with the 10pm fiasco and most of the new series tanking so badly. Keeping all that in mind, the network made a really good decision, bringing back Chuck a bit earlier than they wanted to, and using it as an anchor on […]

The Tao of Who

January 2nd, 2010 | Posted in BBC, Daily Rants, TV

David Tennant gives us a wonderful farewell in The End of Time as well as a key to the future of the series. Timothy Dalton as The Time Lord and Narrator is simply wonderful. Both in substance and texture,  this holiday send-off is a fitting and beautiful ending to the Tennant era as Doctor. “It’s […]

When is a Remake Just Another Stupid Idea?

December 3rd, 2009 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies, TV

When Vampires are hot, that when! And, let’s face it, the vegetarian Vamps in Twilight are hot, if not even vaguely vampy. So, who is the idiot who came up with a reboot movie of the television series, Buffy, The Vampire Slayer? Not Joss Whedon.  This idea is being pushed by the people and studio […]

V – 4 Down, None To Go

November 30th, 2009 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

So, Last night was the last of the “Premiere Event” launching of V and all I have to say is, “yawn.” After 4 episodes, the world is supposed to wait until March for new stuff and my question is, for what. After a month, here is what we know:

Closing the Dollhouse Door

November 14th, 2009 | Posted in TV

Yes, it’s true, Fox has axed yet another of Joss Whedon’s wonderful and groundbreaking shows. While the first season’s low ratings were overlooked by the company, the second season was not so lucky. The November sweeps numbers dropped even further, and Fox decided that it was not a worthwhile investment to continue the show through […]

The Joke’s on Your DVR & V/4400

November 11th, 2009 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

Today, Twin Topics.  First, let’s talk about the joke of ratings. In these modern times, there are many ways to ”watch” a TV show. So, when ratings come out that ONLY reflect who was watching a show during its “broadcast”, it is a disingenuous number at best. At worst, it is a hatchet, used to […]

V & November Sweeps

November 4th, 2009 | Posted in Daily Rants, Literature, TV, Websites

What can I say? If you were a fan of the original series, you were waiting for this reboot. With no World Series game on last night, and very light competition, the ratings were “good”, BUT you have only 4 episodes and then you wait until March or April to see the rest.  On the […]

Thanks Jay. While NBC Tanks, Perhaps Chuck Will Get Back Sooner!

October 12th, 2009 | Posted in Daily Rants, TV

According to a number of blogs and media writers, NBC is in free fall and grasping at straws for ways to fix their ratings. Let’s face it, the debacle that is the Jay Leno Show and its ramifications has cost the network millions. At least that’s the whining being heard virtually everywhere, and it’s a […]
