Josh Zyber — Wed, 30 Sep 2015 12:00:41 +0000

As far as new TV shows go, this fall has been pretty much a bust so far. This may be the worst pilot season in recent memory. Thankfully, we still have lots of returning favorites to watch instead. Which series are you happy to see come back? We voted last week for the new shows...

Spike’s Idiot Box: Every Doc Has Its Day

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 20:00:22 +0000

‘Doctor Who’ celebrated its 50th anniversary on November 23rd. Leading up to the occasion, the BBC has been airing tons of ‘Doctor Who’ episodes and specials in preparation for this television milestone. I’m a huge fan of ‘Who’, especially after its revival several years ago. I remember seeing old episodes on PBS when I was...

Spike’s Idiot Box: There’s No Place Like ‘Homeland’

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:00:28 +0000

My DVR has been working overtime lately. It seems like just about every current show is pumping out new episodes. I’m almost looking forward to the holidays and reruns, just so that I can ease up a little. I keep threatening to cut a lot of shows out of my watch list, but somehow that...

Spike’s Idiot Box: Charlie Parker, Lance Armstrong and the Loneliest Monk

Michael Spike Steinbacher — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 19:00:51 +0000

What’s obsessing me in TV this week? Let’s fire up the old Idiot Box to find out. HBO’s ‘Boardwalk Empire‘ is still one of the finest dramas on television. This season, Eli’s son Willie dropped out of college after his involvement in a tragic killing. Nucky and Eli are at odds over the best course...

‘Sunny’ 9.01 & ‘The League’ 5.01 Recaps: “The Joke’s on Me”

Josh Zyber — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 17:00:49 +0000

In case you hadn’t been paying attention, the FX cable network launched a new sister network called FXX this month. As far as I can tell, FXX is aimed at the exact same demographics and features most of the same type of programming as the original FX, so I’m not really sure what the point...

Blu-ray Highlights for October 9th, 2012 – Phone Home

Josh Zyber — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:00:24 +0000

This week’s Blu-ray releases are headlined by two major sci-fi movies that both feature space aliens with heads shaped like male genitalia. That’s weird, right? Alien Nation E.T.’s face looks like a scrotum. Don’t be mad at me for pointing this out; you’ve always known it to be true. I have no idea what Steven...
