In 2012, England’s BBC4 and America’s PBS, via member station WNET New York Public Media, joined together to bring forth SHAKESPEARE UNCOVERED, a series of documentaries about Shakespeare’s plays, which aired on PBS in 2013. Each segment, hosted by someone famed for their connection to the Bard’s work, was full of insights into the source and inspiration of the plays and interviews with actors, directors and other experts who had insights into the material. This year, a second season of SHAKESPEARE UNCOVERED is airing on PBS. The first two segments, with Hugh Bonneville on A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM and Christopher […]Read On »

Original telecast: Feb. 3, 2015 “The Iron Ceiling” was a turning point for Peggy Carter on MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER for a number of reasons. First, Carter (the lovely Hayley Atwell) got to showcase her kick ass skills by killing a slew of nameless Soviet soldiers and leading the SSR and Howling Commandos into a facility to uncover why a typewriter is giving instructions in Russian to […]Read On »

Cast: Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, Jada Pinkett Smith, Robin Lord Taylor, David Mazouz, Camren Bicondova, Erin Richards, Sean Pertwee, Morena Baccarin, John Dorman, Cory Michael Smith, David Zayas Writer: Megan Mostyn-Brown Director: Wendey Stanzler Network: Airs on Fox, Mondays @ 9 p.m. Original Telecast: Feb. 2, 2015 The thing that I am enjoying about GOTHAM is even when we get an episode that is just a bridge to another (possibly more mythology driven) episode, it still does a great job in building the storylines we have seen so far in the season. That’s what we got with “The Fearsome Dr. […]Read On »

In Part 2 of our interview with ARROW and THE FLASH developer/executive producer/show runner Marc Guggenheim, he talks more about those series and CW Seed’s animated VIXEN. AX: Are you involved with the animated VIXEN series for CWSeed.com? MARC GUGGENHEIM: I am, actually, and it’s a great deal of fun, I have to say. I always love working in different mediums, and we’re going to do, basically, an animated spin-off [of ARROW and THE FLASH]. It’s going to center on Vixen, who I came to know as a former member of the Justice League. This is a six-part origin story, […]Read On »

Marc Guggenheim, an executive producer/show runner on the CW’s ARROW, Wednesdays at 9 PM, and its spin-off THE FLASH, Tuesdays at 8 PM, is very happy. Not only have both series been picked up for next season – it will be ARROW’s fourth and THE FLASH’s second – but the network has put together an impressive display of costumes from both D.C. Comics-derived series for the Television Critics Association. THE FLASH, a DC Comics title, was born for television in the generation within episodes of ARROW (itself derived from DC Comics’ GREEN ARROW), introducing super-fast Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) to […]Read On »

Cast: Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull, Kirk Acevedo, Noah Bean, Demore Barnes, Barbara Sukowa, Alisen Down Director: Jeffrey Reiner Network: Airs on SyFy, Fridays @ 9:00 P.M. Original Telecast: Jan. 17, 2015 The original 12 MONKEYS was a bit of an odd duck when it came to science fiction movies. Made in 1995, it involved a bleak view of the future where a virus of some sort had wiped out the human race and only a handful of people left remaining survive in terrible conditions barely getting by. Somehow, these few people managed to craft a way to send people back […]Read On »

Original telecast: Jan. 13, 2015 There is so much that I like about MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER that even some of the things I didn’t like about “Time & Tide” I can seem to look past. AGENT CARTER is the non-superhero, superhero show that we needed and should be airing rather than MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD that initially started as a non-superhero, superhero show when it should […]Read On »
