Yet another sad day looms in the world of adventurous, interesting TV. The final episode of Fringe airs this Friday US time (it also functions as the series’ 100th episode), and behold it makes this fanboy mighty sad. If one thing has become abundantly clear as you read my Continue Reading
Swede Jonas Oakland dazzles with new single “When the Music Dies”
We all know the feeling. You’re enjoying a luminously transcendant night out with someone special, enclosed in your own perfect bubble of a world and quite naturally enough, you don’t want it to come to an end. It’s an odd mixture of exhilaration and melancholy as you’re carried away Continue Reading
“Modern Family” promos itself in classic style
The people behind the promotion of one of the best sitcoms on TV at the moment have always had a flair for representing the cast in all manner of colourful, creative shots. It is one of those rare shows that has a consistent look and feel throughout all of Continue Reading
Some lighthearted “The Big Bang Theory” fun for the weekend
I discovered this gem on the web today, traced it back to its original home – made sense it was the official site the-big-bang-theory.com – and had to share it since (a) I love this show and (b) the “Soft Kitty” song rocks and this homage to it is wonderful Continue Reading
R’ha: the future of sci-fi greatness

As I suspected the Governor, who lost an eye and his zombie-fied daughter in a violent tussle with Michonne in his very own secret fishtanks-full-of-zombie-heads chamber o’ horrors – the perfect place to rest and relax after tending to your Stepford Wives-esque refuge from the apocalypse don’t you think?

Continue Reading
Wine up! “Cougar Town” returns
Ok here’s the insane thing (just the one dear?). I am in Australia, thousands of miles from the USA, with no hope of getting there in time to see it, but I am beyond excited that my beloved Cougar Town is back on air 10/9c Tuesday night US time Continue Reading
“The Big Bang Theory” boldly goes “Into Darkness”
Well not quite. In fact they go to Bakersfield in this week’s episode (entitled appropriately enough “The Bakersfield Expedition”) for a comic book convention, all dressed up in their finest Star Trek: The Next Generation regalia, and have to get some help from the townsfolk in a diner when Continue Reading
The possibly bright and shiny-ish future of “Community”
I am at heart an optimistic kind of guy. While I keep a watchful eye on the unpredictable vicissitudes of reality which have a habit of upending even the most Pollyanna-esque of apple carts, and acknowledge that all the Tony Robbins’ positivity in the world won’t protect me from Continue Reading
