So great news for all you Jericho fans out there. Showtime has just announced that they have picked up the former CBS show for two full seasons. They also made the statement that ” being an elective cable channel we can allow the true Jericho story to be shown without the sanitizing necessary for network television”. Could you ask for more? Not only are they continuing the series, but from the sound of it, they’re looking to make it edgier and more kick ass than before.
The cable channel says you can expect to get your fix again in late summer ‘08. Read the full story here.
HUGE, huge, huge, huge fan of BSG (to the uninitiated, that’s Battlestar Galactica). For those of you who remember the 80’s SciFi show, this has the same basic premise, but ups the ante 100-fold to create one of the best dramas on television. Top-notch acting, blockbuster SFX, and exceptional writing make this show a must-see. If you have not gotten into BSG, do it now! This is the final season of the show and it starts on April 4th on the SciFi channel (check your local listings). The first 3 seasons are available on DVD so go pick ‘em up and get sucked in.
To help ease the transition, I’ve posted the “What the Frak” recap above. enjoy.
Chris Carter and other members involved in the production of the new X-files movie announced some details about the upcoming film. Apparently the movie will not involve the main X-files story about alien abduction/etc but will take place in modern day and will take into account the established lineage of the show. Meaning that the shows events will be relevant to where Mulder and Scully are at this point and time.
Although the film is coming out this July 25th, Carter and Fox Television have not yet come to an agreement on what the title should be. Personally I propose one of the following:
The X-Files: Pretend like seasons 7 and 8 never happened
