Dr. Who

For an American sci-fi fan, these are dark times. Ron Moore and Joss Whedon aren’t producing television series, Star Trek lives on only as a rebooted film series and Star Wars: The Clone Wars is still on the air. But somewhere beyond the horizon lies a strange organization still producing quality television. As alien as it appears, the BBC’s... Read More »

‘Bob’s Burgers’:...

In one of the best acts of recent satire, CNN called Fox’s newest addition to Animation Domination, Bob’s Burgers, “wickedly funny.” This is why this author does not get his news from CNN. Bob’s Burgers is an absolute travesty of a show, which couldn’t even maintain a shelf life of twenty two minutes in its pilot episode. This rotting... Read More »

Did South Park “Jump the...

To most people who grew up in the 90’s and 00’s, one show has always defined the cutting edge of comedy and slashed its way past any lines of good taste: South Park. If the Simpsons is the father of adult themed cartoons, South Park is the foul mouthed, hard drinking, cool uncle of the genre. Crude, irreverent, offensive... Read More »

‘Caprica’ Pilot Review

Viewers were stunned back in 2003 when Ronald Moore and David Eick’s “Battlestar Galactica” exploded on to Syfy. Taking their concept from the admittedly campy 1978 series created by Glen Larson, Moore and Eick put together an epic sci-fi saga. That series left audiences with one phrase in their mouth at the end of its four seasons: “Fraking amazing.”... Read More »

The Ricky Gervais Show, Ep. 1 Review

Ricky Gervais’ new show is all about his comedy podcast that enjoyed an enormous following. Sitting down with his good friend and colleague Stephen Merchant and the absent-minded Karl Pilkington, they basically talk about nothing. The show has a unorganized format because Gervais and Merchant react to the idiotic ramblings of Pilkington. His ideas are random and absurd, but... Read More »
