Countdown to Futurama

The long-awaited sixth season of Futurama premieres Thursday, June 24 at 10pm / 9c. Awesome, right? Right. But that's in like fifty days. How are you supposed to not suffocate under the weight of your own anticipation?

Well, bad news, everyone! Every weekday from now until the premiere (Which is an hour, did I mention that? Yeah, the premiere is an hour!), we'll be posting stills, storyboards, videos and other never-before-seen junk from the new episodes to help make the waiting a little easier.

Justified

If you haven't seen the new Elmore Leonard crime drama Justified yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. I absolutely loved the first episode. Everyone in the cast was top notch, the production values were stellar, and both the hero and his first adversary were riveting. In wanted the villain dead and hoped he'd be around for future episodes in equal measure. Great new show.

Caprica (Battlestar Galactica Prequel)

I loved the first two seasons of the new BSG (hereafter jst BSG), even more than I detested the original. It was some of the best TV I've ever seen, not quite rivaling my beloved Firefly. The space battles were just incredible, the characters were compelling, the acting, directing, and writing first rate. Then the wheels started to come off and I lost interest most of the way through the third season. As you can imagine, I was not all that enthused at news of a new prequel series. When the the reviews were luke warm and my friends who have seen it had mixed feelings, I pretty much decided to skip the whole thing. Last night, not feeling like watching anything else, I decided to watch it with my family.

Here's a link to the intro by the Dr. Horrible cast.  Haven't found the musical thing yet, post it if anyone else spots it up before I do.

Futurama got picked up again.  Guess those straight to DVD movies did ok after all.

Reaper

Posted in

I watch about 4-5 hours of TV a week, max.  I favor Sci-Fi, comedies, dramas, and cartoons.  In general, I only like well written shows and favor the quirky and offbeat.  I *HATE* reality television.  IMO, there's probably more good TV on right now than at any time I can remember, and I don't watch most of it.  Now that you have a general idea of where I'm coming from, I have a show to recommend.  Most of the time, my favorite shows get canceled quickly, as did my last favorite, Joss Whedon's fantastic Firefly.

My favorite TV show currently running is Reaper.  It's alternately funny, creepy, and bizarre, combining the best aspects of Buffy, the X-Files, and any of Kevin Smith's excellent movies, minus the raunch.  If you don't know who Kevin Smith is, he wrote and directed Clerks, Chasing Amy, Mall Rats, Dogma, et. al.  He oversees or writes all the scripts for Reaper, as well as directs.
