TV Guide Online DVR… Worth It?
Posted by Mark O. Estes on November 11th, 2009

Today, TV Guide Online announced a DVR service that will allow you to collect all your favorite shows in one spot. Instead of buying a show off iTunes here and watching another show on Hulu.com for free, you can watch almost just about anything in the same setting and even catch up on old shows that have either ended a long time ago or last season. Current shows include Gossip Girl, Dollhouse, Grey's Anatomy, and nip/tuck to name a…

Recap – V 1.02 – There is No Normal Anymore
Posted by Featherlite on November 11th, 2009

Erica and Father Jack are still on the rooftop trying to process what happened (see last week's recap).  Father Jack thinks that they are the only ones who got away but Erica believes there are others.  They watch a shuttle launch from the Mothership and arrive nearby.  Father Jack wants to call the cops on his cell phone but Erica says they should do it anonymously.  She calls 911 from a payphone to report a slaughter.  The 911 operator keeps…

From Twitter to TV: S***MyDadSays optioned by CBS
Posted by Sam McPherson on November 10th, 2009

Don't say you didn't see this coming. It was only a matter of time before the crossover was made. It's not surprising. In fact, you should be wondering why it took so long. That's right — we're getting a Twitter TV show.

Before you start gasping in horror and gnashing your teeth, let me assure you — it's not nearly as bad as it sounds. In fact, it actually sounds like a pretty funny concept, if it can be done…

Breaking News: The Craft is Up For "Eastwick" Witches…
Posted by Mark O. Estes on November 10th, 2009

Sniff, sniff, sniff…

Another show has bitten the dust for the 2009-2010 TV season.

According to HitFix.com, "Eastwick" has been canceled effective immediately. ABC opted not to pick up the back nine for the show, which has been finishing last in its Wednesday night time slot, something that I didn't know anything about. According to TV by the Numbers, despite "Eastwick" being called the "least watched show on ABC" or "a ratings failure", it still beat NBC's "The Jay Leno Show" for…

Smallville Casting News: Pam Grier is Agent Amanda Waller
Posted by Mark O. Estes on November 9th, 2009

EW's Michael Ausiello has broke that Pam Grier, fresh off her six year stint as Kit Porter on Showtime's The L Word (one of my guilty, guilty, GUILTY pleasures), will step into the world of Smallville as DC Comic's ruthless villain with a badge, Agent Amanda Waller. Grier's stint will be for multiple episodes and will start with a two-parter called "Legends", which is a befitting title and introduction since the Waller character was introduced in the 1986 six issue DC crossover comic…

The Librarian TV Movies to Move to Theaters
Posted by Clarissa on November 8th, 2009

Does anyone out there watch The Librarian series with Noah Wylie on TNT?  They're my guilty little pleasure.

The first Librarian TV movie appeared in 2004 and was called "Quest for the Spear".  The second was in 2006 and was called "Return to King Solomon's Mine" and the final one (or so we thought) aired in 2008 and was called "Curse of the Judas Chalice".  My favorite was the second one, but I always like sitting down to watch the…

Posted by Clarissa on November 5th, 2009

Anyone out there read The Onion, the satire news website?  Sometimes it's kind of ridiculous, but most of the time it's snicker-worthy and really funny.  Like today's headline: New York Marathon Winner Tests Positive For Performance-Enhancing Horse.  Check out the photo.  Hee.

Comedy Central is partnering with The Onion to create a 30 minute scripted comedy show focusing on Onion sports coverage.
