Why haven’t we gotten a musical “Doctor Who” episode yet?

The music men at AVbyte have released a number of Broadway-inspired pop culture parodies, including The Walking Dead: The Musical and a medley of hipster Disney princesses. In their latest installment, a freshly regenerated Doctor sings about his adventures in Times Square. It begs the question: when do we get to hear Matt Smith’s pipes?…

On Arrow, everything hits the fan all at once

You know the part of the cartoon where Wile E Coyote is running on thin air, doing fine, and then he looks down and notices nothing is beneath him and falls? Most of the characters on the show just looked down. Also, there’s a new cast member so cool that I was alerted to it…

This Pointy, Swivelling TV Was the 84-Inch 4K Flatscreen of Its Day

You’re looking at the height of TV technology from the 1950s. Perhaps the most kitsch, retro object you’ve seen in a long time, the Kuba Komet was the 84-inch 4K flatscreen of its day – and just as expensive. Manufactured in Germany between 1957 to 1962, this thing’s giant, pointy, swivelling case conceals 8 speakers…

We visited Rick Grimes’ Bizarro World on The Walking Dead

Last week’s episode of The Walking Dead saw team leader Rick Grimes rely on some particularly extreme measures. And Sunday’s episode,”Walk With Me,” focused solely on the adventures of Andrea and her taciturn samurai traveling companion, Michonne. But the women aren’t alone on their journey across post-apocalyptic Georgia. No, they made some tremendously dangerous new…

Matt Smith is keen to expand Doctor Who’s universe — by crossing over with some of America’s best television programs. Talking to Den of Geek, he explains which TV shows he’d like to see Who cross over with, and how it could happen: I want the Doctor to meet Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. It’s amazing,…

On The Venture Bros., Halloween is a time to summon toast demons

Two years and one music video later, The Venture Bros. made their return to basic cable with “A Very Venture Halloween,” a special the show’s masterminds proclaimed would hearken back to the heartwarming Halloween specials of yesteryear. Was it a veritable It’s The Great Mecha Shiva, Charlie Brown? Not exactly, but it was a frequently…

This Week’s Must-Watch Television Event: a Monty Python Spectacular!

This week’s episode of American Horror Story: Asylum is all about a massive storm devastating the Northeastern United States… coincidence, or demonic inspiration?

Clone Wars‘ Onderon arc isn’t about terrorism after all—it’s about Anakin’s slide toward darkness

On its face, it looks like yesterday’s Clone Wars episode took the easy way out. After setting up a very risky proxy war and having the Onderon rebels practice terrorist tacts, the rebellion gets away with a clean martyrdom, and the Jedi once again function as pawns of the Republic. But none of it could…

Russell T. Davies pitched a Doctor Who graphic novel, was turned down

Mind-bogglingly preposterous news of the day: Russell T. Davies, the man who brought Doctor Who back from the dead and created the template for 21st century Who, says he recently approached BBC Books about writing a Doctor Who graphic novel… and they rejected him. In an interview to promote his new show Wizards Vs. Aliens,…

Haven finally identifies the Colorado Kid—and takes a page from the Buffy playbook

Dr. Claire spent most of this episode of Haven dressed as the Kristy Swanson version of Buffy Summers. It’s quite appropriate since our Troubleshooters were trapped in a very Buffy-esque situation, stuck inside a sentient haunted house. This claustrophobic tale is served up with a side of Game of Thrones’ Jorah Mormont. Plus, Audrey finally…

Once again on Fringe, everything bad that happens is Walter’s fault

The moral of last night’s episode of Fringe was probably expressed in the opening minute, when the Rastafarian shopkeeper offers Peter Bishop an embroidered pillow that says, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plan.” Except if you really want to make God bust a gut, hide your plan on inaccessible video…

Yes, Mockingbird Lane is utterly charming, but its death isn’t a tragedy

Last night, NBC aired the pilot of Mockingbird Lane, Bryan Fuller’s reinvention of the classic sitcom The Munsters. We got to meet the beautifully spooky and witty Munster clan and witness vampire Eddie Izzard in his full, naked glory, but unlike Herman’s well worn ticker, our hearts aren’t broken that Mockingbird Lane won’t become a…

Is Finch starting to lose it on Person of Interest?

Last night’s Person of Interest was the ultimate comic book episode, complete with mobster caricatures and goofy tough talk — fun, but a little fluffy. Still there was one dark note struck, when Finch slipped up and revealed his evil, crazy side just a bit. Spoilers ahead! So the number of the week was a…
