Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I’m surprised it took this long to make television series out of one of the most successful movie franchises in history. So far it has spawned three movies, several video games and a governor. Read the rest of this entry »

Cursed
The struggling CW network tries to reach the slacker audience with a series about parents who sell the son’s soul to the Devil who is now forced to recover escaped souyls from Hell. He also has a day job at a big box hardware store. The resemblance to NBC-TV’s Chuck does not inspire confidence. Not recommended.

Bionic Woman
A dark remake of the original spinoff from the Six Million Dollar Man. I like how protagonists in current TV shows have complicated personal lives with families and such. I think Alias with Jennifer Garner started this current trend, but you can see it as far back as La Femme Nikita.
It’s not funny enough for me.

Tin Man
When I heard the Sci-Fi channel was remaking the Wizard of Oz. I cringed. Sometimes they can put on some very cheap drivel. I think the monster flick with rubber pterodactyl puppet was a low point. This is better. I’ve seen versions on stage, silent film, cartoons and now TV. This is an inventive retelling of L. Frank Baum’s classic fable. Read the rest of this entry »

Chuck
A few years ago UPN had a series called Jake 2.0 which can occasionally be seen on the Sci-Fi Channel. It was about a computer nerd who had all sorts of top secret information jammed in his head. To me Chuck is Jake 3.0. Read the rest of this entry »

Heroes Second Season
There is a WGA writer’s strike in Hollywood right now which reminded that there are still people who write for television. Frankly I’ve been too busy too watch old fashioned broadcast television and had to catch up online or on Tivo. Read the rest of this entry »
