We’re just a few weeks from the return of Battlestar Galactica for its third season, and anticipation is high. Finally, I’ll have an almost reasonable excuse for being home on Friday nights! In the next few weeks we’ll be having some continuing coverage of the run-up to the premiere, including an exclusive interview with Ron … Continue reading →
The liberal media is at it again, as ABC prepares to air The Path to 9/11, a miniseries “docudrama” about the events leading up to the attack on America five years ago. This time the pinkos are taking aim at… Bill Clinton? Yup, the miniseries is being called a blatantly partisan and completely factually incorrect … Continue reading →
Earlier today I got on the phone with Black Dahlia screenwriter Josh Friedman*, and one of the topics of conversation ended up being The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the newly greenlit Terminator TV show he is executive producing and writing.

It’s been announced that The 4400, the show about a bunch of UFO abductee types returning to Earth with strange powers, has been renewed for a fourth season. I was sent the first couple of episodes on DVD and hated the shit out of them. It seemed like a wannabe X-Files with cheesy superheroes. But … Continue reading →
Peter Parker wouldn’t stand a chance on Who Wants to Be a Superhero?. The show, which airs on the SciFi Channel, is a “reality” program where a bunch of borderline personality types create their own superhero with a backstory and powers, dress up in that character’s costume and live in a secret lair while Stan … Continue reading →
[Same intro as last time] Once upon a time I was a Stephen King apologist. If he ran over someone’s cat, I’d drive to their house and say “I’m sorry Stephen King flattened your furry little Obnoxio”.
