The season finale of time-traveling adventure show Doctor Who will be much, much longer than a usual episode – 65 minutes instead of the show’s usual 45 to 50 minute range. In England, at least. But how long will the episode “Journey’s End” be when it airs on the Sci Fi Channel? Probably about 42…

Jericho Ads Appear More Often On TV Than Jericho

How many times does the world have to end for people to accept it? If you’re talking about fans of CBS’ failed apocalypse drama Jericho, the answer would appear to be “at least three.” Apparently the cancellation, fan-outcry-inspired resurrection and subsequent re-cancellation of the show haven’t dulled their appetites to make Skeet Ulrich America’s favorite…

Time for a Max Headroom Movie

I’m feeling that wave of Max Headroom nostalgia again. Those British commercials with an aged Max Headroom in them just didn’t quench my thirst for a full revival of the cult TV series that popularized the faux-virtual British icon in the U.S. What I love about the mid-1980s U.S. show Max Headroom: 20 Minutes Into…

Bet On Who The New Doctor Will Be

David Tennant hasn’t definitively said whether he’s going to stay in the Tardis beyond the guest-startastic end of this season’s Doctor Who, but a little thing like reality isn’t enough to stop the UK’s bookies.
