Doctor Who: A Post Mortem

It’s no secret that I’ve loved Doctor Who since I first discovered it back in 1980. The concept itself, the character of the Doctor, the TARDIS, the companions, the monsters and the villains. It truly is unlike anything else out there in the sci fi entertainment world. It had already been going for 17 yearsContinue reading “Doctor Who: A Post Mortem”

Let’s Go ALL IN on the Whoniverse…

Sometimes, I think certain Doctor Who showrunners feel they have to “one up” their predecessors. Bear with me— this leads somewhere. Russell T. Davies started the new era of Who, and oversaw two Doctors, four series, 52 regular episodes, and eight specials over five years. During this time, his two Doctors aged five years total.Continue reading “Let’s Go ALL IN on the Whoniverse…”

The Whoniverse Has Arrived

Beware, all science fiction and science fantasy franchises, there’s a new Universe in town. Several years ago, while addressing media at an event regarding the future of television, Russell T. Davies once again spoke of his love for Doctor Who. This time, he talked about the future possibilities of the show. He spoke of howContinue reading “The Whoniverse Has Arrived”

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 16. Still worth it?

A slumlord, a wild card, a bird, a serial killer and a body dysmorphic walk into a bar. Because they own it. I was going to go into a huge background dive into Sunny, talking about the characters, the show, etc., but no. If you’re a Sunny fan, you either know all those things, orContinue reading “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Season 16. Still worth it?”

The Doom Patrol

A couple years ago, the pilot episode of Doom Patrol was streamed for free. I watched it, and frankly, I wasn’t impressed for a number of reasons. I *might* have continued watching it, but only the first one was free, man, then you had to buy another streaming service to watch the rest of theContinue reading “The Doom Patrol”

SLIDERS

I can not believe I didn’t devote one of last year’s 366 blog posts to the mid 1990’s sci fi series, SLIDERS. Of all the tv shows, binging, you name it, why did I not slide this in? Created by Robert K. Weiss and Tracy Torme, SLIDERS follows four travelers as they travel from oneContinue reading “SLIDERS”

TV slow binge- Maverick

Talking about the always entertaining James Garner, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t check out his very first tv show at some point: Maverick. Running from 1957 to 1962, Garner plays Bret Maverick, a professional card player in the late 1800’s wild west, who quite often manages to find trouble as oftenContinue reading “TV slow binge- Maverick”
