Deadline has an interview with Gale Anne Hurd, who is an executive producers of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” She speaks about the controversy over Glen Mazzara leaving the show, though (not surprisingly), says little that we don’t know already. I get the feeling that we haven’t heard the last about this matter.
Why is it that Hollywood, whenever it begins to run low on ideas, feels the need to plunder my dreams? Perhaps I shouldn’t take such things so personally, but after the upcoming (?) reboot of “Space: 1999,” and now “The Tomorrow People,” I am beginning to wonder. The original series of the “The Tomorrow People,” there was a […]
There’s a new trailer for the upcoming season of AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” the last with showrunner Glen Mazzara (who on some level I blame for Frank Darabont, the showrunner before him, leaving the show, despite the fact that I should know better). I remain a fan of the series–after all, they haven’t got rid […]
Part of being an adult is having the ability to know when not to say what’s on your mind, a skill lost on most children, whose nature lends itself to an almost brutal honesty. For instance, if you’re feeling vulnerable, don’t ask a child a question with an expectation that the answer will somehow buttress […]
I recently read, via the ever reliable Deadline, that “The Walking Dead” has a new showrunner, someone by the name of Scott Gimple. I don’t mean to disparage Gimple, after all, he may be an awesome showrunner, but it seems to me that if he does the least thing that runs afoul of AMC brass […]
I am not quite sure what it is about old television shows (particularly British though I am also a big fan of some Quinn Martin productions, such as “The Invaders,” “Barnaby Jones” and “The Streets Of San Francisco,” as well as shows like “The Night Stalker,” Hawaii Five-O,” among others) that make them so appealing. […]
I was drifting around the Internet, when I found this YouTube post from Jace Hall (the guy who’s spearheading the upcoming (?) “Space: 2099”). The recording isn’t the best, and Landau (Commander Koenig from the original series) doesn’t say all that anything that most fans of the original series don’t already know, but it’s good […]
I am really trying to like Hulu. I even posted a complementary post a day or so ago, though just when I am feeling good about them, they go and do something irritating (which may be part of someone’s master plan). And the funny thing, despite my griping, is that they must being doing something right, […]
I have never been a fan of reality TV, but I have to admit that the more I watch, the more interesting I find it. But that comes with a huge caveat: I tend to enjoy shows where people are doing things that are somewhat constructive, such as building things with their hands. For instance, […]
Like most people, it disturbs me to read about some of the terrible things that we do to each other, though what grows old fast is the way that we always seem to find something to blame our problems on–as opposed to ourselves, that is. For instance, things like video games, movies, music and television […]
