Stars: Christian Slater, Bret Harrison, Odette Annable, Alphonso McAuley Writer: Adam F. Goldberg Director: Seth Gordon Network: Fox, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: April 6, 2011 Bret Harrison has been a star in need of an excellent vehicle for his everyman charms and comedic timing. While he was great in the two-season REAPER cult series, it didn’t propel him the way it should have. Throw in a strange stint on the second season of V that was trying to make him the comic relief in a show that was in more need of action, drama and actual sci-fi than comedy, […]Read On »

When History Channel greenlit the ambitious THE KENNEDYS mini-series, controversy was expected, but nothing like the kind that stirred up when that cable network decided to drop the project entirely earlier this year. After being shopped to various networks, Reelz Channel ultimately acquired the eight-episode mini-series. Episode Three airs tonight on Reelz and the remaining episodes air nightly throughout the rest of the week. Written by Stephen Kronish, executive produced by former 24 co-creator Joel Surnow and directed by longtime 24 director Jon Cassar, the project follows the life of the Kennedys throughout the 1960s and features Greg Kinnear as […]Read On »

Stars: Jamie Campbell Bower, Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, Claire Forlani, James Purefoy Writer: Chris Chibnall Director: Ciaran Donnelly Network: Starz, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 1st, 2010 I’m still thoroughly enjoying one of the more original series on TV, with the second episode of CAMELOT entitled “The Sword and the Crown.” This series moves incredibly fast, in fact a lot faster than most period television. I don’t know if it’s due to budget or number of episodes ordered, but this show is MOVING. Arthur (Jamie Campbell Bower) just found out in the pilot that he was the only make […]Read On »

During the press event for HUMAN TARGET at WonderCon 2011 in San Francisco, Mark Valley, who plays Chance on the Fox show, gave us his opinion on where he would like to see his character go if the series gets picked up for Season 3. “In terms of Chance’s overall arc, in the first episode he was closed down to the world and focused on doing his job and having some confusion about it and coming out of it,” Valley says. “The second season he started to open up a little bit. He had to in order to communicate with […]Read On »

If there is a Season 3 of V, where does Elizabeth Mitchell see her FBI character of Erica going? Will she be a kick-ass, take no prisoners type of character given that everyone she has loved is now gone? Talking with us at WonderCon 2011 in San Francisco, this is what she had to say. “Yes, I would like her to be a nothing to lose, incredibly strong, incredibly intelligent character,” Mitchell says. “I feel that maybe we can out think them [the aliens\. We are talking about the reptilian brain, which is mostly just instinct. So with a combination […]Read On »

During the BREAKING IN press event at WonderCon 2011 in San Francisco, executive producer  Doug Robinson thinks that debuting the series in April is actually a positive rather than a negative. “I think it is a huge advantage, especially when you have AMERICAN IDOL as a lead-in,” Robinson says about the series which focuses on a high-tech security firm of misfits. “You know that at least you are going to get a lot of people that aren’t going to watch anything at 9:30 p.m. because the families are done watching TV. I would take seven episodes to watch a show […]Read On »

During the press event for the new Fox comedy BREAKING IN at WonderCon 2011 in San Francisco, Odette Annable (who is the female lead in the series) gave us a little peak about what the show is like. “We haven’t really seen anything like this for a while,” Annable says of the series about a high-tech security firm of misfits. “It is a little like THE OFFICE meets THE A-TEAM or GONE IN 60 SECONDS when you have that great dynamic and everyone works in the office and there is that offbeat comedy that comes from there. We are also […]Read On »
