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...

Thundercats, HOOOOOOO!

By
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

By graphics_girl
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 ...
