Nickelodeon Relaunches and Revamps TMNT

March 31, 2011 | | TV News

Hello 80’s child. No doubt you’ve arrived at this news article to see yet another charished memory destroyed by yet another relaunch/revamp. This time it’s by Nickelodeon and it’s the Ninja Turtles. In an attempt to win over the ‘hardcore’ fans of the franchise Nick is apparently tossing out preview images (as seen below) of the new series and even holding event days to display the good as well. What it really boils down to is that they need possitive hype behind this baby or it will fail to the waste side like so many other TMNT relaunches. I guess the big difference between those relaunches and this one, is that the new series will be CG and they’re touting their nicknames like some grand prize. Of course this is all coming from someone how’s Call of Duty clan tag is ‘FOOT’, so maybe I’m to close to this one. So what do you other 80’s kids/ TMNT fans think?

Fringe – Bloodline

March 26, 2011 | | TV Reviews

Fringe always seems to step its game up whenever they do an
episode outside of the standard formula – basically, whenever the opening
credits look different. There have been a couple episodes set in the 80s that
explore the origins of this whole crazy war between universes that have been
pretty amazing, and also a number of episodes this season set entirely on the
other side that have been very good at well. It’s like the change in setting
invigorates the writers and cast, and let them do new things. Last night’s
episode was another one set in the other universe, and while it seemed to
function mainly to move the plot along, it was still a very effective and
interesting hour of TV.

30 Rock – Plan B

March 26, 2011 | | TV Reviews

Alas, all of the intriguing subplots raised on last week’s reality spoof “Queen of Jordan” will have to go unanswered because this week 30 Rock jumped back to their usual format with “Plan B”. While the episode is consistently funny, and brings back some great characters from previous seasons, it never quite hits any highs, or delivers many laugh out loud moments.

The Office – Garage Sale

March 25, 2011 | | TV Reviews

Who the hell makes the schedules for NBC? This is an extremely
pivotal time for The Office, when the lead actor for the last seven
years is finally getting ready to leave and we need to see if the show
can exist without him, now that an eighth season has been confirmed. It
should be an important event within the show, and it would help to have
some momentum going. But this is the first episode in four weeks, and
there won’t be another for three more. It makes no sense.

You’re Getting 26 More Episodes of Futurama

March 24, 2011 | | TV News

Comedy Central is finalizing a deal for a 26-episode seventh season pickup of Futurama.
Comedy Central resurrected Matt Groening and David X. Cohen’s animated
sci-fi comedy in 2009, six years after it was cancelled by Fox, with a
26-episode sixth season order. The first batch of 13 episodes averaged
2.5 million viewers, with the remaining 13 airing this summer. The 26
newly ordered episodes will follow the same pattern, airing in two
installments of 13 episodes in 2012 and 2013. Futurama has been a big hit online, growing from 1 million Facebook fans at its launch on Comedy Central to 11 million.

The Cape – Canned?

March 23, 2011 | | TV News

It looks like NBC has cut the amount of episodes ordered for The Cape from 13 to 10 which is a pretty bad sign if you’re actually a Cape fan. The show has had less than stellar reviews and the viewer ship has dropped consistently since the first episode. Really it’s no surprise as even Heroes trailed off into nothingness. The final episode is released already so check out the review for Endgame if you’re jonesing to see how it “ends.” There’s also been rumors that show was going to be cut in favor of Wonder Woman and with the costume reveal last week its no surprise that the studio wants Wonder Woman over The Cape. Personally, I think there’s two types of shows that are instant fails on TV. The first being Superheros and the second being Spy shows… watch your back Chuck.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Padawan Lost

March 23, 2011 | | TV Reviews

The Clone Wars
begins the ending of season 3 with a two-parter. Ashoka and Anakin are
raiding a droid base with Master Plo (why he’s there at all is never
truly explained other than he’s just there to tell Anakin to give up
later) when Ashoka is abducted and taken to an island where Jedi
younglings are hunted for sport… gee, where have we heard that plot
before? Oh, yeah! The Running Man, The Man with the Golden Gun, Predator and Predators. The Clone Wars has done their own version of classic movie plots with a Star Wars
twist on them before, but this was the weakest one by far. But I will
say this, I was laughing at the sheer stupidity of some scenes. So it’s
not like it wasn’t entertaining, it’s just that I was really hoping for
more.
