I have a few TV news bits about Zero Hour, Two and a Half Men, Person of Interest, and a Comic-con like event being put on by Fox television!

Person of Interest Is A Solid Hit

Unlike most TV shows that premiere to good numbers, then slowly fade, Person of Interest (PoI) did the opposite. Sweet.

Unfortunately, the ratings could be seen as a validation of the distributor’s choice to not have the show available on any ‘On Demand’ service.  I can’t begin to say if the show’s numbers are being pumped up by their refusal to rebroadcast on any Demand service, but I will presume they think it is, and I suspect we won’t be seeing it in any On Demand presentation any time soon.

“This season, PERSON OF INTEREST is television’s fastest-growing drama, gaining +1.88 million viewers from last season. Among adults 18-49, PERSON OF INTEREST is averaging 3.5/10, up +3% from last year.

With an average audience of 16.15 million viewers, PERSON OF INTEREST places ahead of both editions of “American Idol” and “The Voice,” “Dancing with the Stars” and “Modern Family,” among others.”

'Iron Man 3' movie news

The various titles around the web being played up say it all, asking if Gwyneth Paltrow might get her own Iron Man like suit of armor in Iron Man 3?

Before you scoff at it, yes, in the print franchise of Iron Man, she infrequently did wear her own suit.  When she did, her moniker was Rescue, so it wasn’t like she was out there getting into super-powered slug-fests!  But then there are things said at Comic-Con, that I swear, are just said to ignite fan fires to keep them revving up or talking about a project.

'Iron Man 3' - first look at extremis armor 01

Case in point, during the Iron Man 3 panel at San Diego’s Comic-Con, a fan made note that Pepper Potts gets her own armor in the comic book.

The panelists jumped on that one with the reply from Marvel’s Kevin Feige, saying,

“Everyone at this table thinks it would be the coolest thing in the world to see Pepper get in the suit at some point.”

And let the firestorm of articles swirl!
