  • Black Lightning crashes Superman’s Funeral

    SNL did this skit back when Superman died fighting Doomsday I interviewed Black Lightning’s creator about 15 years ago and he said that he’d kiss Sinbad for the job he did on this one.

  • My First Time with Buffy

    I’ve just started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a 19-year-old show I never saw before. I’m 8 episodes in and it’s already getting annoying how there is no accumulated history in that Smallville/Murder, She Wrote/X-Files way. The death toll for this small school is already catastrophic, the principal has been eaten, one girl had her…

  • Man of Steel Animated Series

    What’s the one thing everyone is going to remember about Man of Steel in five years?*SNAP!*

  • Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary

    Maybe my math is off, but a show that debuted at the tail end of 1963 should be two years away from an anniversary. Still, I always loved Doctor Who when I was growing up, and I don’t mind it getting some hype. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm7aE4xUjwQ&feature=player_embedded I suppose it’s “hipster” of me to be a little resentful…

  • My Father’s Day Gifts to Myself

    Amazon package arrived today.  Guess what’s inside? The animated Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 1-3, which is now packaged together for $17 instead of sold individually for $15 each.  (I don’t know why they won’t do season sets anymore.  Obviously, they want to shake us down for more cash per individual disk, but I’m not buying…

  • “Wonder Woman” TV Revamp Not Happenin’

    The Wonder Woman relaunch will not be launched.

  • Hate Star Trek: TNG? Only for the holodecks.

    If there’s anything truly, fundamentally wrong with Star Trek: The Next Generation, it’s the holodecks. The rest I can stomach. Holodecks were a terrible idea.  They eliminated the need for shore leave on a real planet, where a cabin fever-ish crew can get off the ship and provide the plot with whatever they encounter on…

  • My SKULLLLL!

    Here’s the first movie that should be in the next MST3K boxed set. My votes for the other three: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF9oBFFW9Qw And for the box set after that one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awC3Bb-uPMg Here’s one of my favorite moments:

  • Family Guy: Easily Summarized

    Family Guy: Then and Now.

  • Scenes from the lost Babylon 5 Combat Simulator

    Check out these videos of a Babylon 5 space combat simulator video game that, sadly, was canceled only a month or two before it was set to be released in 1999/2000. The special effects still look great. Rats. Since no official video game has ever been made, you can make do with an unofficial free…
