Joss, Ichabod and Dracula Walk Into a Bar...

By graphics_girl
So, I guess summer is officially over. :(  It's now September...the kids are back in school, football has begun and along with that, the new fall TV season. YAY! I have some shows that I'm really excited for, but I decided that I'd better do some research to see what else is coming. I went right to EW.com and TVGuide.com to do my reading. Keep in mind, this is not ALL the new shows...just shows that I'll be trying out. And it looks like I better get my DVR ready!


NEW SHOWS
  • Marvel's Agents of SHIELD- Tuesday 8/7c on ABC  I think it's fair to say that fans of Joss Whedon have been waiting very impatiently for this show. While we've had some great movies to satisfy our appetite, there's nothing quite like Joss on a TV Series. This man has a knack for telling a story in such a unique way with a snarky voice, I can't wait to see what he does with these characters, the Marvel Universe, and we get to see J. August Richards and Clark Gregg AGAIN! Huzzah!  Good news for those of you who can never watch shows when they are ON, ABC has an app that you can watch on your mobile device or you can watch online on watchabc.go.com If you're anything like me, you'll wish all the networks would get on board with this! Here's a preview from ABC. If you don't get excited by this promo, you're dead inside. ;)
  • The Crazy Ones- Thursday 9/8c on CBS  I, for one, will be watching this hoping it sticks for Sarah Michele Gellar. She's acting alongside ROBIN WILLIAMS this time. Please, TV gods, let this be a great show. A father/daughter run Ad Agency created by David E. Kelly with Williams playing the "kooky" one (TV Guide word). TV Guide's Editors pick this as a show to watch. 
  • Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-Thursday 8/7c on ABC As a fan of Once Upon a Time, I don't even have to watch this to love it. Quick synopsis, Alice is in an asylum after people learn about her "trip" to Wonderland. But, wait for it, there's a love story in there too. ABC has a few teasers up including this one that will give you a bit more background. 
  • Sleepy Hollow-Monday 9/8c on FOX I don't know...maybe it's weird, but I'm going to watch this and see what happens. It has me intrigued. Doesn't hurt that the createors, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci; who, with JJ Abrams, were the creators of Fringe and writers of Transformers and Star Trek. Icabod Crane has woken up after 250 years to chase after the Headless Horseman in the present! And for my lady friends... Tom Mison(Ichabod) is British and pretty handsome. 
  • Dracula-Friday 10/9c on NBC This girl is a sucker for Vampire shows, so I'm in on this one. Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Dracula in Victorian London?! Nuff said. Oh, and it's from the producers of Downton Abbey. Have you been convinced? I'm looking forward to see how they retell his story. It sounds like NBC is having a "Friday Fright Night" with Dracula showing right after their "veteran" show, Grimm. Good news folks! Looks like NBC has full episodes online as well.
Other shows that I can't NOT mention....Almost Human-FOX, The Blacklist-NBC, Brooklyn Nine-Nine-FOX, Michael J. Fox Show-NBC. Keep watching for a quick write-up on those before we go over what's COMING BACK this fall!

Avengers

By graphics_girl
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

Maybe a Matthew Broderick Throwback Series?

By graphics_girl
Last Friday night while scanning Netflix for a throwback from my list to rewatch, I found a great 80s classic with Matthew Broderick.  BEFORE his memorable role as Ferris Bueller, he starred as a computer genius named David in War Games. War Games takes place in the 80s during the Cold War. After a failed launch exercise (featuring Mr. Blonde, Michael Madsen ) the US government is convinced that they should give control of the nuclear program to a computer. That is, until it's hacked by a high school kid. When David (Broderick) successfully accesses this super-computer, he's trying to get into the computer of a software company to play their latest game before it's released. He unknowingly begins a showdown between the US and Russia that could lead to World War III if he doesn't help stop it.  I am not going to go into what happens....just in case you haven't seen it or it's been a while for you. (I'd like to know what you guys think....in the futu

As You Wish

By
I’ve been feeling kind of crappy lately and I thought to myself, “There’s only one movie that can pick me up right now.”   Though I didn’t have a grandfather to take care of me and read me stories when I was sick, there’s still something about watching The Princess Bride when you’re not feeling up to par.   That combined with the fact that the interwebs are buzzing about The Princess Bride heading to Broadway made this a perfect Throwback for this week. I remember when I was in the fifth grade we would, on occasion, have a “movie day” on Friday.   I convinced everyone that there was this great movie we NEEDED to watch.   I knew it line for line.   (Sadly, I forgot about the “I want my father back you SOB” line until it was right upon us and had to jump up to fast-forward it…oops.)   I don’t know if any of my friends remember watching it then.   It seems like it has a much bigger following these days, but that could just be because I was 9 and didn’t know any b
