It’s been announced that The 4400, the show about a bunch of UFO abductee types returning to Earth with strange powers, has been renewed for a fourth season. I was sent the first couple of episodes on DVD and hated the shit out of them. It seemed like a… Continue reading
Peter Parker wouldn’t stand a chance on Who Wants to Be a Superhero?. The show, which airs on the SciFi Channel, is a “reality” program where a bunch of borderline personality types create their own superhero with a backstory and powers, dress up in that… Continue reading
[Same intro as last time] Once upon a time I was a Stephen King apologist. If he ran over someone’s cat, I’d drive to their house and say “I’m sorry Stephen King flattened your furry little Obnoxio”. Nowadays, people are running Mr. King down like it’s going… Continue reading
I love the Mayans. Love them to death. Thankfully they don't know me or sill roam the Earth or else they'd have me sliced and diced and on my way into the sacrifice dumpster faster than you can say "Cortes was a prick". I also love the really crazy things… Continue reading

This news is so good that I fear the universe will balance itself out with a major natural disaster. I just hope it waits until 2008 – that’s when new episodes of Futurama will begin airing on Comedy Central! You read that right – the network has ordered 13… Continue reading
Battlestar Galactica ended its second season on a stunning note: the ragtag fleet had found and colonized a planet they could live on, but the Cylons found them – and conquered them. The finale proved once again that Battlestar is a show that’s not afraid of… Continue reading
This may not be news to you, but it was news to me. Then again, I just write the TV news here, so why would I be up to date with what’s happening on the boob tube? At any rate, the Sundance Channel is going to premiere City of Men tonight at 9; it's the… Continue reading
I don’t really understand why America is afraid of British TV. It’s the same language, you know, and unlike the heyday of Dr. Who, modern British TV looks essentially as good as modern American TV. And like 300 percent better than anything on UPN. This fear… Continue reading
