Stars: Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Genelle Williams, Allison Scagliotti, Aaron Ashmore, Jaime Murray, Ashley Williams Writer: Ian Stokes Director: Chris Fisher Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: August 15, 2011 Well, from last weeks’ more serious WAREHOUSE 13 that spanned centuries with one artifact, we move to a somewhat sillier episode this week, “Don’t Hate the Player.” The basic premise is one we’ve seen before on most science-fiction series’, sooner or later, the video game that is some form of immersive virtual reality that is so real it kills. This version for WAREHOUSE is a somewhat lighter […]Read On »

Judge Piers Morgan couldn’t be smugger tonight on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT. Three out of the four acts picked to move on to the AGT semi-finals were his Wild Card picks. Only one was Sharon Osbourne’s and that leaves none for Howie Mandel. Morgan gained massive bragging rights while four more acts won the chance to compete next week for the title of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT season six champ. First to make it to the semi finals was West Springfield Dance Team which took out Shevonne and Yellow Designs Stunt Team. Les Miserable performed for the audience while we waited for […]Read On »

TV Review and Recap: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – “Wild Card Round”

Twelve acts saved by the three judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT get a second shot at the semi-finals this week. Each judge brought back three acts  they felt deserved another chance to woo audiences. Ultimately, four of them will join the others in the semi finals. Although, it’s not clear if Mandel just brought back the acts that most irritated Morgan (Those Funny Little People in particular) or not, certainly the judges have differing opinions about who should get a do over and who should have never been invited back. Still, all seemed […]Read On »

Stars: David Strathairn, Ryan Cartwright, Warren Christie, Azita Ghanizada, Laura Mennell, Malik Yoba, Alaina Huffman, Peter Wingfield, Melissa Hood Writer: Adam Levy, series created by Zak Penn & Michael Karnow Director: Leslie Bibman Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 10 PM Airdate: August 15, 2011 It’s good for most shows to break from their internal formulas once in awhile, and on ALPHAS, an episode that involves solving an ordinary – that is, non-Alpha – crime is an agreeable change. On the upside, it’s fun and it lets us take a longer look at how the characters deal with issues besides what it […]Read On »

Cast: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Writer: Jeff Davis Director: Russell Mulcahy Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: August 15, 2011 When TEEN WOLF began this year on MTV, there were many naysayers who were skeptical that a 1980s teen comedy featuring Michael J. Fox as basketball-playing werewolf could be turned into a scary, darkly humored television series. AX knew better, having seen the pilot and the potential the series had, and now as the show concludes its first season, it stands tall as one of TV’s best […]Read On »

We start off with Leela (voiced by Katey Sagal), Fry (voiced by Billy West) and Bender (voiced by John DiMaggio) taking […]Read On »

Stars: Miranda Cosgrove, Jennette McCurdy, Nathan Kress, Jerry Trainor, Noah Munck Writers: Dan Schneider, Matt Fleckenstein Director: Steve Hoefer Network: Nickelodeon Original Telecast: August 13, 2011 You have to hand it to iCARLY for continuing to be the strangest and most satisfying series on Tween television. As it enters the second half of its fourth season on Nickelodeon, it continues to push and prod the humorous boundaries with its likable characters, silly situations and broad physical comedy. The new episode pays off the Season 4 cliffhanger where Sam (Jennette McCurdy) realized she had feelings for her object of hate Freddie […]Read On »

Stars: David Strathairn, Ryan Cartwright, Warren Christie, Warren Christie, Azita Ghanizada, Laura Mennell, Malik Yoba, Valerie Cruz, Lianne Balaban Writer: Zak Penn, series created by Zak Penn & Michael Karnow Director: Karen Gaviola Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 10 PM Airdate: August 1, 2011 Credit ALPHAS with using science fiction to good and controversial allegorical purpose, although this episode has a pivotal plot twist we can see coming. It’s hard to blame writer Zak Penn for this – there’s a moment where we realize that the story can go down one of two paths, and he naturally picks the more interesting […]Read On »
