Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Writer: Ned Vizzini & Nick Antosca Director Tim Andrew Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: June 25, 2012 It’s about time TEEN WOLF started revealing some things, and finally it does with “Venomous”, an appropriately titled episode since it reveals a snake (i.e. a new form of shapeshifter) hiding in our core group. After several episodes of teasing, “Venomous” finally offers up the big reveal about half-way through the episode, and while it’s not altogether surprising, I’m just relieved it’s a major […]Read On »

Host: Rich Eisen Network: TNT, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: June 24, 2012 Just when you think every reality show concept has been done to death, along comes something refreshing like THE GREAT ESCAPE, TNT’s uber-successful attempt to get in the reality game. With executive producer Ron Howard and Brian Grazer behind-the-scenes (alongside THE AMAZING RACE executive producers Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri), they’re off to a, well, great, start. Mixing in elements of THE AMAZING RACE and FEAR FACTOR, the series is pretty simple in concept, but elaborate and expansive in execution. Three teams of two are taken […]Read On »

Cast: Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton, Connor Jessup, Drew Roy, Maxim Knight, Sarah Carter Writer: Robert Rodat Director: Michael Katleman Network: TNT, airs Sundays @ 9 p.m. Original Telecast: June 24, 2012 As Admiral Akbar sowed the seeds of pop culture in STAR WARS: EPISODE VI – RETURN OF THE JEDI, I couldn’t help thinking “It’s a trap!” when the pilot just happened to find 2nd Mass and inform them about the sanctuary city of Charleston. Now, it could all be true and they are preparing viewers for what would be a larger, more intense fight against the aliens […]Read On »

Actress Cassidy Freeman has another hit series on her hands. The talented and beautiful young woman can currently be found on A&E’s top rated cable series LONGMIRE. In this series, Cassidy plays Walt Longmire’s (Robert Taylor) daughter Cady, who is a lawyer in a small town in Wyoming. Once the LONGMIRE pilot was shot, the actress had about a year in between that and the second episode to fill. During that time she did a guest star run on the popular CW show THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. ASSIGNMENT X chatted with Freeman about LONGMIRE, but also got the chance to see […]Read On »

Stars: Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Fiona Gubelmann, Robin Williams, Steven Weber, Chris Klein Writer: David Zuckerman, series created by Jason Gann & Adam Zwar, adapted for American television by David Zuckerman Director: Randall Einhorn Network: FX, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: June 21, 2011 Expecting answers out of WILFRED is becoming like expecting Lucy to hold the football for Charlie Brown. By the end of “Progress,” which is billed not as the start of Season 2 but as a special episode, we are as or more bewildered than Ryan (Elijah Wood). This is saying something, considering that the poor guy […]Read On »

Stars: Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Joe Morton, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston, Niall Matter, Felicia Day, Dondre Whitfield, Kavan Smith, Christopher Gauthier, Trevor Jackson, Wil Wheaton Writers: Paula Yoo & Ed Fowler, series created by Andrew Cosby & Jaime Paglia Director: Alexandra de la Roche Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Original Telecast: June 18, 2012 EUREKA is usually reliably funny no matter what, but in “Smarter Carter,” between characters who have unpleasant personality transformations, characters who are worried and characters who are just plain mad at each other, there aren’t a lot of laughs to go around. When Allison’s (Salli […]Read On »

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 »

TV Review: TEEN WOLF – Season 2 – “Abomination”

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 »
