The Walking Dead Recap: 18 Miles From Nowhere

Thump, thump, tha-thump. Thump, thump, tha-thump. Yes, this is the way this episode opens, with the tenor of a heartbeat. We see both Rick and Shane scrambling to get away from another horde of zombies, but this time that Randall kid is with them. They’re where? At another school? Another deserted waylaid outpost? The zombies are catching up to Shane and he takes shelter in an abandoned school bus. Continue reading

The 2012 Television Pilot Season: John Stamos Refuses to Leave Television

Somebody really believes in the temple that is John Stamotopoulos, or as we know him, John Stamos, AKA Uncle Jesse. This Fall he will star in his now third television series since he last uttered the words “Have Mercy.” Good God. “Have Mercy?” This was a thing? Ok, yes, this was a thing. Somewhere a diehard fan with a trunk full of Tiger Beat magazines just marked Fall 2012 as the best television season ever. Continue reading

The Walking Dead Recap: Right Back Where We Started

Hi zombies! I mean readers! Now where did we leave off last week? Oh right. Ranger Rick just killed Random Guy One and Random Guy Two, who would’ve/could’ve/should’ve been the most interesting characters on the show, while Shane and Blondie had a zombie bonfire. There’s also some chick in sticker shock at the price of barn zombies, and Lori crashed her car so she may be dead and/or not pregnant. So. Are they finally going to get off of the farm? Let’s find out, shall we? Continue reading

Yes, discarded drifter, Ryan Phillippe, may have found a home this fall on the network Ashton Kutcher seduced with his talent for slovenly beach bum antics and nonsensical hair-flopping. These are the other things he does on that show about two guys co-habitating and walking around in their bathrobes for half the episode, right? Seriously, every time I flip past Two and a Half Men, somebody’s always in a bathrobe. Is the whole show shot from the perspective of a lazy boy recliner, or outside a bathroom shower? No matter, I’ve yet to meet an actual person who watches that show. Maybe it’s a long commercial for terry cloth and not an actual television program. Continue reading

The 2012 Television Pilot Season: ABC to Save Mandy Moore

What will you be watching this fall? Perhaps you’ll tune into the network that made Sofia Vergara a household name, and by household name we mean in every commercial released within the last year, or so it seems. Modern Family and its continued reign in comedy aside, with the release of the potential 2012-2013 pilot season, ABC is hoping to cash in on fish out of water themes, families, the 99%, and stories that take place in hotels and apartment buildings. Did Donald Trump make a move that we don’t know about? ABC has also undoubtedly decided that they’re more than a network full of irascible families and BFF’s, they’ve got Mandy Moore. Continue reading
