This Walking Dead trailer for season three does it right. The trailer has it all – zombies, the prison, Michonne, the Governor, Rick and the survivors taking on the living and the dead and … wait. for. it. a special surprise at the end of the trailer.
October 14th cannot get her fast enough.
If you’re a fan of the Sons of Anarchy, then you’ll probably like the TVGuide.com interview with series creator, Kurt Sutter. Sutter gives us a hint at season five (and even more in the interview)…
There’s a Twilight Zone marathon going on over at the Syfy channel. There are a lot worse ways to spend a lazy 4th of July than watching Rod Serling’s presentations of some of the best sci-fi and horror ever shown on television.
However, if you only have a few of hours to spare, then I’d suggest you tune in (or set your dvr) from 7:30 to 10:30 tonight. Here’s what you”ll get:
7:30 “The Howling Man” – David Ellington while hiking in Europe after WWII stumbles across a remote abbey when a violent storm kicks up. Reluctantly given refuge for the night by the monks, Ellington hears howling and discovers a man being held prisoner by the monks. Before he can set the man free, Ellington is told the true nature of the prisoner. Ellington is left with a decision that may haunt him for the rest of his life…
8:00 “Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?” – On a dark, snowy night, two deputies respond to a call about a crashed spaceship. Tracks lead to a remote dinner where seven bus passengers and the diner’s owner are waiting out the storm. The funny thing is there were only supposed to be six passengers on the bus and strange things are starting to happen at the dinner. Coincidence or is there an alien among them?
8:30 “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street” – It’s just getting dark when a strange sound and flashing lights in the sky bring neighbors out of their houses. A child suggests it’s aliens from a flying saucer. The adults laugh it off until strange things begin to happen and their paranoia increases. Soon they are looking at each other — could aliens already be here?
9:00 “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” – A man, with a fear of flying and recently recovered from a nervous breakdown, is having a hard time making it through a stormy, late night flight. Then he sees a monster on the wing trying to damage the plane’s engine…
9:30 “Time Enough At Last” – When a meek book lover finds himself the sole survivor of a nuclear holocaust, he takes joy in that he will at last have time enough to read… or will he?
10:00 “To Serve Man” – Aliens come to earth promising peace and shared technology. They seem to be making good on their promise to turn earth into a paradise, yet some doubts linger…
Andy Griffith passed away this morning at the age of 86.
Most of us know Mr. Griffith from his role as Andy Taylor, the sheriff of the fictional town of Mayberry. The classic series was of course, “The Andy Griffith Show,” one of only three shows [along with “I Love Lucy” and “Seinfeld”] to ever end their run while on top.
I can’t tell you how many I hours I spent watching “The Andy Griffith Show” … my guess is that you can’t either. (Well, if you can, tell me, how many hours did I spend watching it?)
What was always refreshing to hear was that Andy Griffith was just as nice in real life as he was on tv. Mark Evanier wrote a great tribute which confirmed that Andy Griffith was just as caring and smart and nice as Andy Taylor. Seems fitting, doesn’t it?
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Andy Griffith’s family, friends and fans.
You’re looking at the cover for the first issue of a new quarterly magazine, officially sanctioned and dedicated to all things Walking Dead. Walking Dead: The Official Magazine will premiere on October 23rd and feature articles, interviews and behind-the-scenes looks at the comic and television series.
Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead had this to say:
“This magazine will be your one stop destination for all the news pertaining to the comic, TV show, video game, toys, games, and whatever else exists in the ever-expanding Walking Dead universe! If it’s happening, you’ll find out all about it right here!”
Thanks and a tip o’ Carl’s hat to CBR.com for their full report.
Breaking Bad is one of the best shows on television. This 15 second teaser sure hints at the tone of the new season. July 15th can’t get here fast enough.
I’ve never watched a show on the CW. This extended preview for Arrow makes me think that is about to change.
Normally one would think that it’s good to be king, but the way Walter White’s luck runs, my guess it will be: “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.”
If you’re not watching Breaking Bad on AMC, you’re missing out on one of the best shows currently airing.
AMC has announced that it will run a Walking Dead marathon of all 19 episodes on July 7th and 8th. The event will also feature the world premiere television broadcast of the first episode in black and white, as well as a sneak peak at season three.
Thanks and a full color tip o’ the sheriff’s hat to Spinnoff Online.
Keeping with our zombie theme of the last few days, here’s Entertainment Weekly’s first look at Michonne from The Walking Dead.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes teaser for The Walking Dead Season 3 that promises to top everything that’s gone before.
Have you seen this trailer for comic book character Green Arrow’s adaptation into a tv series called Arrow? It was a smart move to shorten the name to Arrow. Now let’s hope that they avoid the use of “trick” arrows and they might have something. I think it looks interesting enough to check it out.
Thanks and a pull of the quiver to CBR.
Have you seen the trailer for the new series, Revolution, coming from JJ Abrams on NBC? It looks interesting enough to draw me in, but I truly hope that it doesn’t become a series totally about the search for the lost brother who may have the key to getting the lights back on.
Although I enjoyed the first season of Falling Skies, I didn’t care for the final scene of the last show of the season. Still, I’m more than willing to come back for season two and see where the final scene leads.
Entertainment Weekly just posted some new teaser posters for Falling Skies season two. My favorite is shown above.
Falling Skies season two premieres on TNT on June 17 at 9pm.
