Geek the Tube - Premiers

Prepare to be Terminated....

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:44:00 -0400

Sorry, I know, it's a way over-dramatic blog title. Tonight Terminator returns to Fox. I was "kinda" into this series last year. I thought it kinda drifted a bit towards the middle, but some of the imagery/concepts were rather well done I think, and the ending - with Johnny Cash playing the background. Awesome. Anyway, the premier is tonight!

New season of Prison Break tonight

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 09:32:00 -0400

Ok, so Prison Break has been kind of sucky ever since they - well, broke out of prison, but like any other series I spent time watching, it is hard to say good bye. I want to break up with the show, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Tonight marks the series return with a two hour episode. If it doesn't hold me, I'm giving up.

Dr. Who Returns

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 10:34:00 -0400

For those of us in the states, Dr. Who returns for season 4 tonight. It's the Christmas special, so technically it may not be the first episode of the new season, but who cares. My eldest loves Dr. Who and I can't wait to watch it with him tonight.

Star Wars: Clone Wars in Theaters in August

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 09:12:00 -0400

LucasArts has recently announced that on August 15th, the latest installment of the Star Wars saga will be released in theaters. This time in the form of an animated movie titled, The Clone Wars. In the fall, a television series of the same title will premiere on the Cartoon Network.

Check out this link for more details.

I enjoyed the Clone Wars cartoon shorts on the Cartoon Network and hope this movie and resulting TV series are as enjoyable.

Jericho Returns This Tuesday

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:57:00 -0400

Jericho, which in my opinion was one of the best shows on TV last year is set to return to the air Tuesday Feb 12 10:PM ET/PT.

Check out this link for more information about the upcoming season.

Did you know Lost was on tonight?

Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:41:00 -0400

Well, ok, not on TV, but as online episodes of 2-3 minutes each. 13 of these episodes will launch - a new one each Monday. Apparently you can watch the first episode now, but I can't get their darn site to work right. Edit: So as soon as I hit "save" the darn site works.

Premiers Tonight - Super Non Geek Night

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 10:23:00 -0400

Ok, so there are a lot of good shows starting tonight - none of which really qualify for "Geek-ness", but I absolutely love Thursdays. We've got: My Name is Earl
The Office
CSI
ER
CSI is especially good - although all the weepy-emotional promos for the season opener are kind of turning me off. My wife and I just started watching ER two seasons ago, but really enjoy. The plane crash episode was one of my favorites. The special effects of the crash were subtle - yet creepy as heck. (Which is fodder for a whole other blog post - why creepy is better then gore.)

Bionic Woman Tonight

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 10:08:00 -0400

Don't forget that Bionic Woman starts tonight on NBC, at 8PM CST. A - um - "friend" of mine downloaded the show. This "friend" thinks the show may have potential. He wasn't blown away by it - but will watch a few episodes. And it has Katee Sackhoff, AKA Starbuck on BSG. Nuff said.

Prison Break, and K-Ville

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 17:46:00 -0400

Tonight marks the beginning (as far as I know) of new TV shows. At 7 CST we have Prison Break, currently on season 3, which is kind of bad when you consider it should have ended at season 1. I really liked this show when it came out - but frankly - they are just pushing this show too far. I'll watch it - but most likely with quite a bit of fast forwarding. After Prison Break comes K-Ville. This show doesn't look that great, but as it is set in New Orleans (I live in Lafayette, LA), I'm curious to see how well they pull off the 'real' feel of the city. Normally Louisiana is not very well represented in the media. We are either all drunk off our asses at Mardi Gras, or shown as being voodoo worshipers.
