Robot Chicken’s DC superhero special gives Green Lantern a new power ring (in his pants)

Robot Chicken is dedicating one entire stop-motion special to lampooning the superheroes and villains from DC Comics, so Adult Swim’s released the first-ever clip of one sad Green Lantern and his power (cock) ring. Yep, this isn’t for kids. The special episode is titled “RC/DC” — there’s no set date for its release yet, but…

Insane 1980s TV movie turned Tim Curry into an erotic Halloween wizard

Tim Curry may be more famous for his performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, but his musical turn as “The Grand Wizard” in the 1986 British TV movie The Worst Witch is equally incredible. Watch as he warbles “Anything Can Happen On Halloween,” a tune that will ignite the jack-o’-lantern in your loins. This song belongs in…

Once Upon A Time: Actually Cheesier Than True Blood!

Who knew the tears of our favorite fairytale characters would taste like sweet, sweet nacho cheese? Last night, ABC premiered Once Upon A Time, and it was everything we were hoping for — and more. Ginnifer Goodwin made copious cry-faces, plus there were lots of evil Witch turbans and talking bugs. Let us be clear,…

On The Walking Dead, everybody walks around everywhere

After last week’s chilling opening sequence with a zombie-clogged highway, The Walking Dead literally went off the beaten path for their own summer-stockalypse production of Into The Woods. Spoilers. https://gizmodo.com/on-the-season-premiere-of-the-walking-dead-the-survivo-5850328 Rick and Carl meet Hershel the homespun veterinarian, new guy Otis and Shane cruise on over to the local high school, and everyone else looks…

Supernatural gives good death – and major fan service

As if trying to top that death-by-melted-cheese from a few episodes ago, last night’s Supernatural gave us one of my favorite magic-enabled murders ever. But that was nothing compared to the hot, wet fanservice the show delivered by stunt casting former Buffy regulars James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter as a married couple in serious need…

A Gifted Man is like MacGyver with perverted ghosts

This week on A Gifted Man, people save lives with a few honest talks and perform heart surgeries with using a speculum as a rib-spreader. Also there’s a ghost for two minutes. She sees Mike naked. Weird episode. Eriq La Salle — the ass of a head surgeon on ER — is an very much…

Weirdly prescient 1987 sitcom predicted the death of Muammar Gaddafi

There was no shortage of crappy, short-lived genre shows in the 1980s, but only one of them accidentally predicted the death year of a newly deceased Libyan strongman. https://gizmodo.com/10-deranged-scifi-tv-shows-that-lasted-about-as-long-as-5774460 In this bizarre scene from the pilot of the 1987 “guy comes back from the afterlife to make amends” series Second Chance, St. Peter tosses Gaddafi…

Saturday Morning Cartoons bring you clips from this week’s episodes of Young Justice, Generator Rex, & more!

For some reason, good ‘ol cartoons like we grew up with in the 80s and 90s (and earlier) don’t come on during Saturday mornings anymore. Maybe it’s because anyone who is awake and would watch is sleeping. But it doesn’t matter, we’ve got you covered. In this week’s installment of Saturday Morning Cartoons, we’ll take…

Did Vampire Diaries really earn that Buffy reference?

The Vampire Diaries had the audacity to namecheck Buffy the Vampire Slayer, not to mention what might have been a nod to Xena Warrior Princess, in last night’s episode. Can we forgive such gall, from a show where the main female character is kind of a victim-y doormat? Yes. Yes we can. Spoilers ahead… Actually,…

On Person of Interest, it’s time to store Polish gangsters in the trunk of your car

I can’t decide whether it’s a good or bad development that Person of Interest seems to be leaving its dystopian premise behind in favor of goofy crime procedural nonsense. I know some of those ponderous speeches about surveillance and Big Brother could get a little tedious, but I liked them. Apparently people in the writers’…

Matt Smith Quitting Doctor Who Next Year?

Matt Smith has bowled over even the most conservative Doctor Who fans in his tenure as the show’s time-traveling wizard. So it’s dreadful news that we could be looking at a new Doctor a year from now — just in time for the show’s 50th anniversary in 2013. During an interview with VH1, Smith was…

Marvel’s The Punisher Becoming a Police Procedural TV Show?

Two Marvel Comics TV series, Incredible Hulk and AKA Jessica Jones, are both moving slowly through the television pipeline, but now a TV show about the Punisher could be on the fast track.
