DVD of the Week to Buy

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

You may or may not know this, but since FOX canned “Futurama” the creators have been releasing a series of movies that go strait to DVD. I think I originally posted there would be eight in all. So far the following are already out in stores. “Bender’s Big Score“, “The Beast with a Billion Backs“, and “Bender’s Game“. This Tuesday Feb 24th the 4th movie in the series comes out called “Into the Wild Green Yonder“. If you were a fan of the show or just never even heard of this series this movie is a great buy. What’s even better cartoons can get away with so much more in a movie without the constraint of a network behind it.

The Final Few

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Well even though it’s a new year around this time announcements come out about shows not making the cut (Ratings Wise), and the end of a series. I’m late to announce that ABC Family announced that this is the Final Season of “KyleXY”. I knew the show wouldn’t last even though I loved watching it. Surprising enough it had the same story as FOX’s “John Doe”, and lasted longer. Also the final remaining episodes of FOX’s “Prison Break” will air later this year. Hopefully the writers will some up the story for us. In my Opinion if they didn’t name the show Prison Break it would of lasted longer. Like I said before on a previous post there is the chance of a spin off involving a women’s prison. Unfortunately this will be the last season of FX’s “Nip/Tuck”, and not due to ratings. This show has been amazing to anyone that has followed it. Sometimes I guess you just have to let go of a good thing before it turns bad.

New Review (Still TV Realted)

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Normally I don’t talk about video games on this site, but there are instances where I believe it fits in. What I’m talking about is “Ready 2 Rumble Revolution” (Wii), which releases on March 17th. The game contains 18 caricatured boxers, all parodies of celebrities from sports, music, and movies. That is were the TV related part comes in. Who wouldn’t want to fight being a famous person. Its like celebrity death match came to Wii. Upon first look the graphics look amazing, and thank god the characters don’t look like Wii people. What I like about this game is that they say they have artificial intelligence allowing for more strategic fights. This isn’t new to the gaming world, but allot of games don’t offer that challenge level. Also there are Mini Games (see picture top left ) which I just love when the creators do that. I think this will be a big hit. If anyone is interested there are $10-off preorders available at Wal-Mart, GameStop, and Amazon.

Must Have DVD

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

People like me that grew up in the 80′s, and sat in front of the TV after school will love this DVD. Who can’t forget “Mr. Belvedere“. Season 1 & 2 will be out on DVD March 17th. This show was apart of many house holds which made us laugh growing up, and will now be on DVD. This DVD contains 29 episodes on 5 Discs along with a Special DVD bonus content which includes Saturday Night Live: Mr. Belvedere Fan club sketch & All new Interviews with the cast. For any TV fan this is a must have for any collection.

Fall TV Reminder

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

FOX has yet again Tempted fate with Friday night shows. Of course on of all days Friday the 13th “Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles” Returns which could mean doom for fox. Let me remind you of Friday nights on FOX. Remember Fastlane, John Doe, Dark Angel. Ya any show on Friday most likely gets killed off. The only thing I’m Hoping for is Joss Wedon’s “Dollhouse” to be a hit. As you may or may not know Joss is behind “Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and my Favorite Firefly. He will bring with him to this new show Eliza Dushku (Buffy,Angel, and my favorite FOX show that got canceled Tru Calling.)

Here is the Info about the show directly off of FOX’s Website.

Joss Whedon, creator of groundbreaking cult favorites “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Firefly,” returns to television and reunites with fellow “Buffy” alumna Eliza Dushku in DOLLHOUSE. Echo (Dushku) is an “Active,” a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don’t just perform their hired roles; they wholly become – with mind, personality and physiology – whomever the client wants or needs them to be. Whether imprinted to be a lover, an assassin, a corporate negotiator or a best friend, the Actives know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time. In the series premiere episode, Echo is hired by a businessman to be the ultimate kidnapping negotiator when his young daughter is abducted. Meanwhile, FBI Agent Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) risks his career in his search for the elusive Dollhouse in the “Ghost” Series Premiere episode of DOLLHOUSE airing Friday, Feb. 13 (9:01-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (DOL-102) (TV-14; D, L, S, V) CC-HDTV 720p-Dolby Digital 5.1
Cast: Eliza Dushku as Echo; Tahmoh Penikett as Paul Ballard; Olivia Williams as Adelle DeWitt; Fran Kranz as Topher Brink; Harry Lennix as Boyd Langton; Enver Gjokaj as Lubov; Dichen Lachman as Sierra.

This show will be very different which is good for FOX only if people watch it. If not its the same sob story with everyone writing a patiction or glim hope of another network picking it up.

Happy Veiwing

Fall Season is Upon us all

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

I know It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here. Let me catch up to bring you up to speed. First my new Favorite show is “Demons”. Demon’s Airs on ITV1 UK, sorry for some of us Americans some shows that are great just don’t air here like “HEX”. Anyways Fox’s new show “Lie to Me” has a good start with an original story like “Bones”. I hope the Show Does well. With a Sad new year Note I’m sorry to say this is the last season of “Kyle XY“. ABC Family decided to let it go not a shock considering the same type of story was already done on Fox’s “John Doe”. Ok enough wallowing time for the future. The CW has given the green light on “Vampire Diaries”. Vampire Diaries” will be based on Alloy’s novels that have been revived since “Twilight” has proven to be so popular with young women, which is CW’s target demo. In the novels, the beautiful Elena is known as the ice queen of her high school, but becomes the object of passion for two brothers — vampire brothers. The elder sibling Damon is charming but sadistic and had fought with his brother over a girl centuries ago. The (relatively) younger Stefan is the angsty, silent but earnest one who actually cares for Elena deeply. Around them swirl ex-boyfriends, vampires with vendettas and perhaps even a psychic.”Diaries” would also mark a resurrection of sorts for Kevin Williamson, creator of “Dawson’s Creek” and “Scream” film franchise. He’s worked with The CW before on the short-lived “Hidden Palms.” Williamson has written the pilot script with Julie Plec and will exec produce with her and Alloy’s Les Morgenstein and Bob Levy.

Also another of my last years pics is returning. the CW’s “The Reaper”.The second season of the supernatural drama will return March 3, a couple of weeks sooner than originally announced.

The best news I think is the Green Light from the SCI-FI channel with the go ahead for “Stargate Universe”. Universe will have a 2-hour premiere in 2009, and land in a regular time slot next summer. This Stargate Franchise has had such a huge fan base, and following. It was sad to find out about the end of Atlantis, but thats ok. The difference is the new season will be aimed at a younger crowd. We will just have to see how this plays out with exsisting fans, and potentially new ones. It’s been so long since I posted I have so much more to talk about, but this is it for now.
