Stars (voices): Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, Phil LaMarr, Lauren Tom, Dave Herman Writer: Josh Weinstein Director: Raymie Muzquiz Network: Comedy Central, Wednesday nights Airdate: June 21, 2012 The second half of the FUTURAMA Season 7A premiere is even better and funnier than “The Bots and the Bees.” Taking its cues from big disaster and end-of-the-world type of movies, the film parodies all the tropes that come with those types of films. The episode begins with weird weather patterns and results in Fry inadvertently discovering an ancient “Mayan” temple underneath the earth. What they […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: Tim Kring on the DAYBREAK web series

DAYBREAK poster | ©2012 AT&T

DAYBREAK begins with a wild vehicle chase – not too surprising, as it’s directed by 24 veteran Jon Cassar – then flashes back to show us how Ben (Ryan Eggold), living in a mobile home park after turning his back on conventional success, gets entangled in a web that involves his late father, a twelve-sided dodecahedron and a secret society. The far-reaching themes are a hallmark of DAYBREAK’s co-creator/executive producer Tim Kring (TOUCH, HEROES). What is most unusual about DAYBREAK, with its high production values and pedigree on both sides of the camera – besides Eggold (ENTOURAGE, 90210), stars include […]Read On »

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Writer: Christian Taylor Director Tim Andrew Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: June 17, 2012 I hate to say this, because I love TEEN WOLF so much, but the latest episode “Abomination” was about as frustrating as you can get. Yes, it has some great effects, yes, the humor is there, yes I like the characters, but the pacing and the ultimate reveal of what the Shapeshifter looks like was kind of, well, anti-climactic. We still don’t know who the Shapeshifter  is, […]Read On »

When Planet Express installs a new beverage vending machine named Bev (voiced by Wanda Sykes), a love/hate relationship develops between her and Bender which results in some rough mechanical sex. Very quickly, a little hybrid robot […]Read On »

Robin Network: TNT, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: June 20th, 2012 It takes no time at all for all the power playing and scheming to begin on DALLAS, just like where it left off 20 years ago. Quickly things become apparent that although nearly two decades have passed, very little has changed. There are a few new faces but the game is the same and oh what a game to be played. J.R.

Breaking News: CBS announces DANCING ON THE STARS show in fake press release

If it were April 1st, we’d think this was a pretty funny April Fool’s joke on behalf of CBS, but it’s June 20, and frankly it’s still funny. CBS has just put out a press release touting  their “supposedly” new shows DANCING ON THE STARS where celebrities dance on the grave of dead celebrities and a comedy called POST-MODERN FAMILY (which are plays on the ABC series DANCING WITH THE STARS and MODERN FAMILY. A CBS spokesman has confirmed that both of these shows are fake and this press release is the network’s tongue-in-cheek response to losing their legal battle […]Read On »
