Fall Preview-Part 2

Time for Part Two of my Fall Preview! I think there might just be something for everyone in this batch. The only thing that's missing is the Reality TV. Sorry, can't help you there.

Almost Human-Monday 8/7c on FOX For those of you who loved Fringe(and JJ Abrams), this show might be right up your alley. Karl Urban (Star Trek, Judge Dredd) plays a LAPD detective 35 years in the future. While on duty, he loses his partner and his leg.  After two years he returns to work to learn his new partner is an android. Urban's character, John struggles with this new reality since he believes they are the reason for the loss of his former partner. I've watched a couple videos for this show and I'm starting to get really excited to see the Pilot!



The Blacklist-Monday 10/9c on NBC Being compared to Silence of the Lambs, this new drama on NBC stars James Spader as the convicted criminal who agrees to lead the FBI to "Blacklist" criminals only if he can work with the FBI's new female profiler...the question to be answered is "WHY?". TV Guide's Editors say to watch this one. 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine-Tuesday 8/7c on FOX One word. Or maybe two. Andy Samberg. Is that enough to make you watch? Ok, it's Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher and Terry Crews in a cop show. It's gotta be hilarious, right?
The Michael J. Fox Show-Thursday 9/8c on NBC Fox plays a TV News anchor who retires after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Five years later and his family wants him back to work. If his previous shows are any indication of the success of this show, I think he may have a winner in this one.

The Tomorrow People-Wednesday 9/8c on CW Anybody else heard of this one before? This is another one the Brits did first(in the 70s), but now it's The CW's turn. It's kind of an XMen-type show. Teens with special abilities and the people who are after them because they feel they are a threat. Stephen is the main character who is just now beginning to find out about his abilities and thinks he might be a bit crazy. He starts hearing voices and teleporting in his sleep, but eventually follows the voices in his head to meet the Tomorrow People, other individuals who also share similar powers.

Happy TV watching!

Avengers

This week's Throwback doesn't go back all that far. It takes us to the days when Avengers was filming in Cleveland. My sister was fortunate to spot Joss Whedon downtown one day, and shortly thereafter, we decided to head to Cleveland to see what we could see.   Most of the filming didn't start until evening, so we got there around 7 or 8pm. Everything was blocked off and there were so many people standing around trying to catch a glimpse of someone famous. Thankfully, most of those people weren't in it for the long haul. Graphics Girl and I ended up sitting there until everyone else had gone and all the drunkards came stumbling out of all the local bars. It was so much fun to see everything happening. We were watching the filming of everything happening outside of the opera house and biergarten. We were able to see a bit of Chris Evans (who was under heavy guard and had to wear a big cape until he was actually shooting), and LOTS of Tom Hiddleston and his body doub...

Thundercats, HOOOOOOO!

I miss Thundercats. That was a quality Saturday morning cartoon. It ran from 1985-1989. Yes, that hit me at ages 1-5, but I enjoyed watching it then and reruns later on. My brother had some pretty sweet Lion-o and Snarf figurines. The occupants of Thundera evacuate before the planet and all but one of the escape ships were destroyed. The Thundercats were all that remained and they set a course for Third Earth where they crash. With the help of his "Sword of Omens", Lion-o gives the Thundercats a chance against Mumm-Ra and the evil mutants. This cartoon was so freaking cool that it has been referenced in all sorts of pop culture avenues. The Band Reliant K has a song called I'm Lion-o , which is such a fun song to jam to. If you were a fan of Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Emails, Thundercats is referenced in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 5: 8 Bit Is Enough . The series was rebooted in 2011 and was a combination of anime and western ani...

Heroes in a Half Shell

A couple weeks ago, before stuff started showing up on the internet about the new Michael Bay movie, I decided to watch the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie with my boys. So, here's the jist of the story. Four tiny turtles begin a huge transformation after coming in contact with a mysterious green ooze. A rat who was once the pet of a great ninja master "adopts" them and teaches them the way of the ninja. While the turtles are studying in the sewers, there is a crime wave blanketing the city above. Robberies are on the rise and TV reporter April O'Neil finds herself a one of the latest victims. Unexpectedly, the streetlamp goes out....and when it goes back on, she's sitting next to a tied up pile of her attackers! Leave it to a reporter to get to the bottom of the story! April finds that behind this crime ring is the Foot Clan, led by the evil Shredder and he's not happy that she's onto him and he sends his henchmen to take care of ...
