the sarah connor chronicles

The CW Network LogoThe CW has come out with their 2011/2012 Fall TV season schedule.  We have some new and some old, much like the other networks.  With The CW, the returning series that interest Cinema Static includes The Vampire Diaries and SupernaturalNikita is returning, but has moved to the time slot that Smallville vacated on Fridays.

The new shows popping up on The CW‘s 2011-12 TV season include Hart of Dixie, Ringer, & The Secret Circle.

Ringer is the Sarah Michelle Gellar show where she runs from some questionable ilk.  She assumes the identity of her sister, but as luck would have it, her sister is in some kind of trouble herself.  Zoinks!

Other cast includes Nestor Carbonell, Kristoffer Polaha, Tara Summers, Mike Colter and Ioan Gruffudd.

The Secret Circle is based on another book series from the author of The Vampire Diaries and is the story of a girl who discovers she’s a witch and that she’s a central figure to a battle of good and bad.  The Sarah Connor Chronicles star, Thomas Dekker co-stars.  I hope the fans are too witched-out from The Vampire Diaries!

H8R is a reality series of a sorts.

Joss Whedon's DOLLHOUSE

Just thought I’d pass along the reminder that the series-finale of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse takes place on January 22nd, 2010.  The final episodes leading up to this last day will be

  • January 8th: “Getting Closer.”
  • January 15th: “The Hollow Men.”
  • The series finale on January 22nd: “Epitath Two: Return.”  Felicia Day and Adair Tishler guest star.

It will be the end of a much tormented science fiction, fantasy TV series run that never quite caught on with the general viewing public.

I even had a feeling that despite the hard-core fan-base wanting Joss’s latest television effort to succeed, even some of us were hard pressed to really enjoy Dollhouse at times.  Sometimes the show just dragged for me and at other times it hit on all 10 cylinders of its 8-cylinder engine.  It just didn’t revv up enough to catch a foothold.

It didn’t help when viewers called it things like a show about trafficking.

TV: Wanna Help Save The Sarah Connor Chronicles?

November 3, 2009

I’m not sure anyone behind a managerial desk is actually tuned in to the pulse of the viewing public.  How could you be when you drop a show that had a massive fan appeal like Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, over a show that had maybe 15% of that same support? Regardless of the past, [...]
