Syfy Channel Season Premieres: Merlin, Being Human, Face Off & More

by on October 12, 2011

in Entertainment, television

Syfy channel LogoWe have some great news about Syfy series premieres for Merlin, Being Human, Face Off, Ghost Hunters, Lost Girl and more.

Merlin

First up…  Syfy‘s Merlin season 4 will be premiering on Friday, January 6th, 2012.

Colin Morgan plays Merlin, Bradley James is the young Prince Arthur, Angel Coulby is Gwen and Katie McGrath plays the evil, and outcast Morgana. Anthony Head returns as King Uther and Richard Wilson as Gaius.

Merlin is a great little entertaining piece that takes an old tale and spins a great new angle that’s pretty entertaining to follow.  It’s like a prequel of sorts.  And it grows on you from episode to episode!

-

Being Human

Being Human will be returning to Syfy for its second season premiere on January 16th, 2012.

Being Human stars Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath and Sam Huntington as a vampire, ghost and werewolf, as this series, based on an idea from Toby Whithouse.  And so far, the series has pretty much followed the original series outline, so there’s been no real surprises, but it’s still a great sci-fi drama on Syfy.  I think it’s one of their bests shows they have to offer.

‘Haven’ Has Improved Immensely, Series Finale Tonight

by on September 30, 2011

in Entertainment, television

Cinema Static - TV News, Movie News and other Entertainment OpinionWhen Haven first came out, I watched the first half of the first season. I liked it but it wasn’t snagging my attention enough and I faded away from Haven.

Today the Syfy channel had been airing a marathon of episodes building up tonight’s season 2 season finale.

Haven stars Emily Rose, Lucas Bryant, and Eric Balfour about some characters in a town called Haven, Maine. It started out loosely based on a Stephen King novella called “The Colorado Kid.” Characters were swapped around and changed up a bit, and went from there.

In the first season the stories were interesting but they weren’t too complicated and the simple plots didn’t keep me riveted.

OK, sure, I bailed. There, I said it.

But today about mid-day I tuned into the Syfy channel. If anything, it’s great background noise for anything you’re doing. Well, except if there’s wrestling on. But then I started watching the Haven marathon and it looks like we now have a fascinating challenge.

Cable & Network 2010/2011 Midseason Premiere/Return Dates

by on December 22, 2010

in Entertainment, television

Cinema Static on Brusimm logo

We’re all wondering what’s up with some of our favorite shows from some of our favorite networks…  so I dug up all my press releases and scoured the web and my arms are tired…  oh, wrong joke.  I’ve pulled together the 2010/2011 season return/premiere dates for A&E, ABC, AMC, BBC America, Cartoon Network, CBS, The CW, DirecTV, FOX, FX, HBO, NBC, Showtime, STARZ, The Syfy Channel, TNT & USA networks.

Some dates are generic as in Spring or Summer of 2011, while others are still to be determined (TBD).

Where show titles start with ‘the’, I’ve put it at the end of the title for sorting purposes.  The Cape will look like Cape, The;  Apprentice, The; Walking Dead, The; and so forth.  I did that because sometimes I don’t remember that there’s a ‘the’ at the beginning of a show’s name so what the heck.

Don’t Be Confused by one particular show in the list, Being Human.  It’s been on BBC America for a few years and while it is still actively in production and airing on BBC, the Syfy Channel has done their own re-imagined version.  Yep, I don’t get it either.  The date for Caprica is a marathon date…  all remaining episodes will air on January 4th.

Speaking of Caprica, there are four shows we’re saying farewell to for this 2010/2011 midseason schedule:  Caprica, Friday Night Lights,  Life Unexpected, Medium & Undercovers.

There are a lot of shows that I don’t cover on the site but since I was pulling the info together I thought I’d include it all.  Below are several lists.  Don’t be fooled.  It’s the same list sorted a million ways because I don’t know how to put one listing in a post with sortable headers.  Besides, being the Excel guru that I think I am, it was just easier to sort and sort and sort.

Tables are sorted thus:

  • 1st chart by TV Series name,
  • 2nd chart by date,
  • 3rd chart by network.

At least that’s the plan, here under the Cinema Static column on Brusimm.com!  I’ve highlighted in the alphabetical list which shows we watch and I suddenly get why I’m so dang tired these days!!!

UPDATED with new premiere date for Smallville and Supernatural.

TV Ratings For Oct 6 to 12th 2010 [DWTS, NCIS, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds]

by on October 13, 2010

in Entertainment, television

TV & Movie news & Opinion, weeding out the static

I used to track TV ratings for another organization and had let it by the wayside, but I thought I’d give it a swing and see what kind of list I could come up with because I was curious about a few shows that I watch…  And with that, I compiled a list and sorted it from most popular on down.  Wow, were there some surprises?  Not really.

Sunday Night Football on CBS takes the cake for the week of Wednesday, October 6th to Tuesday, October 12th with almost 21 million viewers.  (I’m not too focused on any specific demographic, just overall.)  Behind football is the reality TV show, Dancing With The Stars, which barely eeked out NCIS as they both pulled in 19 million viewers.  Later on down the list we have The Mentalist and Criminal Minds and such.

I’m a bit worried about CSI: Miami.  Stuffed behind football, it’s going to be a tough sell on a “school night” if it’s going to get jostled around from tentatively unstable football times.  Alex O’Loughlin’s medical drama, Three Rivers, never had a chance sitting behind football.  But CSIM has a strong following already.  Maybe it will do OK.  As far as I’m concerned, anything with over 6 million viewers is doing OK.  But the shows that I like are worrying me to some degree.

Fringe is sitting in the 60′s, sadly, it’s barely outperforming Chase.  OMG, despite Fringe actually having a pretty interesting story line going on this season, it feels fresher then it did last season.  Are we tired of X-Files-like shows?  The Vampire Diaries, though sitting in the 70′s, is kicking butt for The CW amongst that network’s shows. Smallville, in it’s tenth season, pulled in more than 2 million viewers.  But near the very bottom of the barrel of numbers, sits Stargate Universe and Caprica.

Syfy Renews Haven for a Second Season

Syfy’s Haven Renewed

-

Haven on the Syfy Channel

If you found yourself engaged in the Stephen King based series on the Syfy Channel, Haven, rest assured you will be able to follow more of Audrey Parker’s indefinite leave from her FBI job or the local cop, Nathan Wuornos, as these two continually deal with the odd circumstances that take place around the town of Haven, ME.  (Though it’s filmed in Nova Scotia.)  Haven has been renewed for a second season.

For me Haven has lost it’s traction and I couldn’t seem to get back into it.  I’m not compelled to turn the channel to it unless I was watching its usual lead-in, Eureka.  Then maybe I would stick around.

Syfy Channel Announces 7 New Scripted Shows – But Not Sure About Them

by on August 1, 2010

in Entertainment, imdb, television

The SYFY CHANNEL

The Syfy Channel has announced 7 new scripted shows recently. I didn’t catch any air dates but I’m sure they’ll be coming within the year. Before this annoucement, I had all but given up on any new non-reality shows from the net.

At first when I saw the press release, I was building a head of anticipation but the quick descriptors of the shows are going off like warning bells for me. When a show describes itself as a show that is like “this show” meets “that show,” pinging off of uber popular TV series, I worry that they feel like they need to that to generate interest in a show. It’s an early-warning sign for me!

Regardless, check out my quick take on the different shows, but prepare yourself… some have already told me it doesn’t look pretty:
