Stars: Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Dorian Brown, Ed Helms, Fiona Gubelmann Writer: Jason Gann Director: Randall Einhorn Network: FX, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: July 14, 2011 Come with me in the Wayback Machine, Sherman. Remember when the original PLANET OF THE APES came out in 1968? No? Well, it was hailed at the time for, among other things, its social satire. Talking apes could say and do things that, had humans been depicted doing the same, could have really annoyed some folks. Later, ALIEN NATION grappled with some of these things in the same way, and STAR TREK gave […]Read On »

TV Review: FUTURAMA – Season 6B – “Silence of the Clamps”

FUTURAMA - Season 6B - "Silence of the Clamps" | Futurama TM and ©2011 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. All Rights Reserved

Voices: Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche Writer: Eric Rogers Director: Frank Marino Network: Comedy Central, airs Thursdays Original Telecast: July 14, 2011 Now that was pretty bad. FUTURAMA has been very good this year – particularly last week’s “Law & Oracle” episode, but this week, the show sunk to a surprising low. “Silence of the Clamps” is a complete mess, repeating many themes and story strands from the earlier part of the season and barely providing any actual jokes in the process. When Planet Express has to deliver a package (robot clamps) to a […]Read On »

Stars: Becki Newton, Greg Grunberg, Constance Zimmer Writer: Danielle Sanchez-witzel & Joe Lawson Director: Jamie Babbit Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: July 14, 2011 I’ve given up on trying to figure out what the hell is going on with LOVE BITES. One week it’s horrendously bad, the next week it’s quite good. The tone has varied, the stories are all of the place, yet, some times it gets everything right. This week, with “Boys to Men”, the series almost feels like the writers have finally broken completely out of their shells and found clever ways of truly connecting […]Read On »

Stars: Skyler Samuels, Amy Peitz, Grey Damon, Grace Phipps, Benjamin Stone, Alyssa Diaz, Ki Hong Lee Writer: Ron McGee based on the novels by Liz Braswell Director: Norman Buckley Network: ABC Family, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: July 12, 2011 It can be said that a lot of the ABC Family genre style shows have the same feel and texture to them. They have young casts and deal with all manner of problems from family drama to growing up to friend drama to those dreaded parental sex talks. Of course, all of that is taking place against a backdrop of […]Read On »

CD Review: THE X-FILES: VOLUME ONE soundtrack (3,000 limited edition)

THE X-FILES: VOLUME ONE Soundtrack | ©2011 La La Land Records

The term “whistling in the dark” took on a whole new meaning when Mark Snow’s cheerfully sinister main title theme first announced agents Mulder and Scully on the Fox channel in 1993. With its telltale vocalizations abetted by undulating, eerie percussion, Snow’s Emmy-nominated main title joined STAR TREK, LOST IN SPACE and THE BRADY BUNCH as one of the most instantly identifiable themes in television history. As the FILES’ premise upped the supernatural disbeliever premise of THE NIGHT STALKER (not to mention PROJECT U.F.O) by several, terrifying notches, Snow’s doom-ridden atmospheres was essential to making us believe over the course […]Read On »

TV Review: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT- Season 6 – Hollywood Quarter-Finals – “The First 12 Perform”

The real competition on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT began tonight with twelve of the top 48 performing. In this, the first quarter finals, only 4 of those 12 will go onto the semi-finals – eight will go home for good. The talent is good but the choice is actually not a difficult one to make. Most of the acts have overstayed their welcome and although cute and creative to see at first now they just have a “been there, done that” vibe to them. Judge Piers Morgan was fed up with quite a few of the acts. He actually buzzed four […]Read On »

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Writer: Jeff Vlaming Director: Tim Andrew Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: July 12, 2011 Now this is more like it. TEEN WOLF, after splashing around in the teen angst drama pool for awhile, has started to get its scary on. In “Night School,” the show goes for its most horror movie-like episode yet, with lots of good atmospheric tension and upping the stakes for our beleaguered, newly lycanthropic hero Scott (Tyler Posey). Beginning the instant the previous episode, “Heart Monitor,” ended, […]Read On »

THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING is a new genre series on ABC Family. The show has been compared to TV that has come before it such as BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER or THE VAMPIRE DIARES. Chloe King (Skyle Samuels) is a girl who finds out on her 16th birthday that she’s not entirely human, and is actually part of a race of catlike people called the My. One of Chloe’s defenders is her classmate Alk Petrov (Benjamin Stone) who is also a My, and has the same claws and superhuman abilities as Chloe. ASSIGNMENT X had the chance to […]Read On »

Stars: Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Joe Morton, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston, Niall Matter, Tembi Locke, Kavan Smith Writer: Bruce Miller, story by Jaime Paglia & Bruce Miller Director: Mike Rohl Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 8 PM Airdate: July 11, 2011 Welcome back, EUREKA. Despite the long time the show has been gone (barring the Christmas special), “Liftoff” is actually the beginning of the second half of Season Four, rather than the premiere of Season Five. As such, it begins on a cheery note, with just about all of the main characters in a state of reasonable contentment. The first note […]Read On »

Stars: Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Genelle Williams, Allison Scagliotti, Aaron Ashmore, Jaime Murray, Ashley Williams Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: July 11, 2011 When we last saw the WAREHOUSE 13 team (not counting the out-of-sequence Christmas episode), a somber Myka (Joanne Kelly) had decided to leave her Warehouse duties for fear of accidentally contributing to the destruction of the world, as she felt she’d almost done. In “The New Guy,” enter – at first reluctantly – ATF Special Agent Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore), who has the ability to detect when someone is lying. He’s pretty surprised […]Read On »
