Three Posters for TNT’s Alien Invasion Show Falling Skies

Fear the New Doctor Who Season 6 Trailer
“Doctor Who’s” latest trailer has him meeting old friends, encountering new enemies, and heading off to America. Or, at least, one part of America. It’s a big country, you know.
What if Star Wars was a TV Show from the ’80s? Here’s What it Would Look Like
Oh, YouTube, how I love you. Of all the major Internet destinations, YouTube has got to be the most useful and most entertaining time-waster of them all. You gotta admit, there’s a reason why most companies have the site on their banned list. Can you imagine an employee wasting hundreds of hours on this thing a day? Hell, it beats Twitter or Facebook, that’s for sure.
Fox Renews Fringe for a Full Fourth Season
Ratings schmatings. Who needs a lot of viewers? FOX certainly doesn’t, which may come as a surprise to a heck of a lot of people. Or maybe FOX realizes “Fringe” is already three seasons in, and with another full season, it could hike up its number of episodes toward that magical 100 episodes that most shows need to clean up in syndication. Regardless of the reasons, it’s official: FOX has renewed “Fringe” for the a full fourth season pick-up.
Adrianne Palicki is Wonder Woman
Not exactly sci-fi, but it’s got Adrianne Palicki all dressed up as a modern version of Wonder Woman, and that definitely qualifies as “fantasy” in my book. The show is from David E. Kelley, the man behind all those lawyer shows, and stars Palicki as Wonder Woman, aka Diana Prince, here re-envisioned as a business tycoon by day, crimefighter by night, though apparently everyone in the show’s world knows this, which means WW actually has a THIRD identity. Wow, talk about split personalities.
New Action-Packed, Alien-Heavy TV Spot for Falling Skies
Man, am I ever glad that Noah Wyle’s “Falling Skies” is on TNT. This is the kind of genre show that I just KNOW I’m going to love, and to have it appear on a network like Fox, or ABC, or NBC would have just doomed it to a struggling first year. On TNT, meanwhile, it’ll get EVERY CHANCE to grow and succeed. Man, I’m glad it’s on TNT! Anyways, here’s a new TV spot for the show via Vulture.
The American Version of Being Human Renewed for Second Season
The SyFy Channel has renewed their version of the BBC hit show “Being Human” for a second season. I guess you can say the American version of the show is a hit, too.
Press release ahoy:
TV Review: Doctor Who – A Christmas Carol
It’s been announced that new episodes of the fave Time Lord will be hitting screens April 23rd, an eternity for fans who’ve been facing withdrawal symptoms that rival those endured by heroin addicts. At least they have the latest Christmas special to ease their suffering, released in BBC logic shortly after Valentine’s Day. It’s not a perfect offering, but it is an entertaining spectacle to while away an hour or so.
Supernatural’s Eric Kripke Writing Season 6 Finale, Season 7 Looks Likely
If “Supernatural” didn’t jump the shark two episodes ago when stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles were playing, well, themselves, then it’s never gonna. At this point, I don’t see the show as a “must-see” anymore, though it’s still somewhat entertaining. Then again, I’m a sucker for shows with this kind of premise, so that’s not a surprise.
Trouble in Terra Nova? May Preview Canceled
Despite the fact that those previews we’ve seen for the show looks pretty finished in terms of CGI, it appears the show itself is anything but. Or at least, that’s the excuse FOX is going with.
Smallville Alum Kristin Kreuk Joins 17th Precinct
You can add “Smallville” alum Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang herself) to the growing cast of Ron Moore’s “17th Precinct”, his magic/fantasy/cop procedural gestating over at NBC.
Ron Moore Should Just Change the Title of 17th Precinct to Battlestar Galactica 2.0
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Especially if you’re a big ol fan of Ron Moore’s “Battlestar Galactica” TV show, which I hear tell, a lot of you are, though apparently not so many that you turned in to his ill-fated “Caprica” TV show, natch.
