Why would anyone pay for Hulu Plus? I don’t necessarily mean that in a disparaging way–because, while Netflix may have more films, they lag in the amount of television series available for viewing–but it’s less a question of content, than commercials. You see, if you were to get Hulu Plus–which is supposedly somehow better than […]
I can only assume that there’s a serious mad-on between MTV and the United Kingdom because they cannot seem to stop ruining edgy/funny British television series. Other networks have adapted British television hits, with varying degrees of success. For instance, NBC’s 2003 version of “Coupling,” which failed; and 2005’s “The Office,” which is still on […]
I am not a big fan of junk food, or junk TV, yet when I heard that the Season 7, the last, of “Weeds is on Netflix, I dived right in (I’m not kidding. I found out yesterday, and am already at episode seven, just about midway). There’s something about “Weeds” that just works. The […]
For quite a while now I was wondering what was going on with “Space: 2099,” the reboot of Gerry Anderson’s “Space: 1999,” because I haven’t heard any news on that front for four or five months. I was worried that it suffered the fate of the UFO reboot, which appears to be caught somewhere in […]
If you’ve caught Seasons One and Two of Channel 4 raunchy teen comedy, “The Inbetweeners” and can’t wait till they get Season Three, look no further. I originally checked out Channel 4’s web site, but for whatever reason it’s not available there due to some technical issues (I don’t know if they’re due to me […]
I have never been a fan of Facebook, though I have always had difficulty explaining why I feel that giving someone such complete control of everything that I post is (somehow) not a great idea. This reticience coupled with a company that is looking to monetize as much of its users experience as possible isn’t […]
After Shane (Jon Bernthal) left AMC’s zombie serial “The Walking Dead,” I assumed that the desire for other members of the cast to leave was over. It appears that I may have been wrong, because Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori) may be the next to depart. She doesn’t actually say that she is, but it’s relatively […]
After watching the pilot, it seems to definitely be heading that way. “Tron: Uprising,” currently airing on Disney XD, takes place before the events “Tron: Legacy,” though for some reason it feels somewhat more intimate that the feature film it’s based upon. Part of that is because TV tends to be that way generally, as […]
If you have been watching the news in the past few months, you might have stumbled upon Kirk Cameron airing his views about homosexuals. Now, whether or not you agree with him, it it’s nice to see some pushback from some other former child actors. The acronym that ‘Child Celebrities Opposing Kirk Cameron’ also fits […]
Netflix has done plenty of stupid things, but their latest decision isn’t among them. They have decided, in a burst of sanity, to not take on “Terra Nova” after it had been cancelled by Fox. Netflix doesn’t have the deep pockets of a Twentieth Century Fox–and “House of Cards, and the participation of David […]
