Originally called Wizard's First Rule, this TV series is also an epic and it is also based on a novel: (Wizard's First Rule Sword of Truth, Book 1) much like the post before this (Crusoe). Only unlike Crusoe, which NBC is gambling with a prime time slot, Legend of the Seeker will not be running as a regular series on the prime time block. Instead, ABC network is bringing it into syndication directly. The film is produced by Sam Raimi, who might be more familiar to most people as the guy who... Read Full Story
Iam asking this question because Crusoe is a period piece. An epic. And those kinds usually air as specials or on cable, not as a regular series. Will it have a hard time gaining an audience? Crusoe is an adaptation of Daniel Defoe's classic novel, Robinson Crusoe. You do remember this story in high school, don't you? Guy stuck in an undiscovered island for nearly 30 years? Wikipedia calls it: Equal parts MacGyver, Castaway and Pirates of the Caribbean, this series is an inspirational tale... Read Full Story

Aside from Fringe, I've been waiting for Joss Whedon's Dollhouse with so much anticipation. There doesn't seem to be too many stories and updates going around about it. Except for that one time last month, when Joss Whedon announced he was rewriting the pilot episode --- why am I getting too much news on the 90210 (whose hype started around February I think) and barely nothing for Dollhouse (which will air in January)? Anyway, here's a preview to Dollhouse: DOLLHOUSE focuses on a secret... Read Full Story
When I first began watching Grey's Anatomy in 2005, I had read of reactions from fans of Friends saying how much it reminded them of their former favorite; that this show about doctors is the new Friends. I guess one can chalk it up to missing Friends too much, but I really didn't see what they were talking about. Especially since, every new show debuting after 2004 was called the new Friends! I forgot all about that until TV Filter brought it up again. Meredith is Rachel. Whiny? Check... Read Full Story
Some two or three years ago, a young 21-year old man and his 40-something dad pitched a TV idea for BBC network. It had a story that was quite different by any standards; a teen show with a real edge. And as most teens only have a couple of things on their mind --- i.e. rebelling, getting into mischiefs, flirting, having sex, trying out drugs --- all these were to become the backbone to what would be a TV show called Skins. Yes, it featured kids barely 18 years old doing everything their... Read Full Story
Last season's How I Met Your Mother left us with a cliffhanger. Was Stella gonna say "Yes"? Is Ted and her getting married? Have they really found Mother? Was this even the plan? Sources say a wedding is going to take place as soon as the show returns, that it is set sometime in October. And Sarah Chalke (Stella) is expected to appear in at least six episodes. But let's not forget the blossoming love between Barney and Robin. Is it possible, they're the ones getting married?

Did you spot how many times more Kelly appeared on this clip than Brenda? Somewhere in California, Shannen Doherty is probably pissed Jennie Garth got more airtime than her.

Well CBS did listen to those clamoring for Moonlight's return to TV. Somewhat. Alex O' Loughlin, Moonlight's lead actor, is coming back. Only not as a vampire. That show remains dead.

Under the one-year pact, O'Loughlin will star in a new series project for CBS that will be developed by top TV producer Mark Gordon... Read Full Story
