Here’s the latest trailer for Walking Dead Season 4 starting Oct. 13.

I like the fact that the characters are used to killing zombies and not afraid of them anymore.  It looks like they’re still going to be in the prison for a while though.…

With the first episode of Book 2: Spirits of The Legend of Korra just a few days away from premiering at SDCC 2013, what better time than now to do a list of things I want to see happen in the upcoming season which will hopefully come to fruition and help improve this terrible show and elevate it to something that doesn’t make you want to shoot yourself in the head with a shotgun with cringe worthy characters, dialogue, pointless and poorly executed sub plots and the ugh…. romance….

1) CUT DOWN THE NUMBER OF SUB PLOTS AND FOCUS MORE ON …

We all knew this one was coming for a long time now. The new Avengers show that was given birth to once EMH was shoot in the head and left to bleed out in a dark alley. I was just as skeptical as anyone else, especially with the posters looking like amateur fan art or the promos looking like Ultimate Spider-Man. And now that the first two episodes of Avengers Assemble are out I have to say…. I kinda like it…. Now I know it has a very long way to go before it can reach the level of EMH, but …

Hard too believe it’s been nearly 5 whole years since Star Wars: The Clone Wars debut as a full feature film back in 2008. Upon its release, critics and fans blasted the film but it did manage to make about 68 million dollars at the box office with a budge of around 6.5 million, so it was at the very least a financial success. While the debut and the first two seasons may have been sub par but in the past few years, it has evolved into a great show and has become a worthy addition to the Star Wars Expanded …

Before WWE  and TNA, there was an all-female, cable TV, pro-wrestling show called GLOW: The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. On Tuesday March 19, a documentary about the show made its network TV debut on the Logo Channel.

The makers of The Story of GLOW: The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling decided they wanted to delve into the story behind a TV show that they grew up with. They didn’t tout themselves as huge fans necessarily, just producers making a documentary. Although the way the story was handled would hint that perhaps they did have a certain affinity for the show with …

Being a fan of animated series on TV these days is not an easy thing. In the last few years we have been forced to suffer through the cancellations of Spectacular Spider-Man, Green Lantern the Animated Series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes and now Young Justice. The show was created from the same guys behind Spectacular Spider-Man and it is arguably one of the finest shows based on the DC characters. The second season called Invasion, promised to expand the team and have one overarching story that would go through its entirety kind of like a big …

Sy Fy Channel’s take on Real Steel is an engaging and fun hour series. Robot Combat League started last night on Sy Fy and after a slow start, it was loads of mindless fun. Smarmy/likable WWE star Chris Jericho with his charismatic presence and amused smirk, is the perfect host for this fun bit of robot smashing action. The major problem with the series is that it took too long to get to the robot action. Introducing the contestants and setting up the premise took far too long, something that probably has to do with budget concerns, but it is something …
