Trailers for Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" and J.J. Abrams' "Fringe" Make Fanboys Drool

I'm not sure how Fox managed it, but they've secured a very strong lineup next season with two new television series by Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams. It's somewhat shocking that Whedon is back with Fox at all, but I'm assuming he's still under contract and had no choice. Since the idiot executives who cancelled Firefly seem to be gone, he may have better luck this time as well. Fox was also wise to grab Abrams, who has crafted two insanely popular ... Read more

"It's Always Sunny..." Creators Get the Greenlight for New Fox Show

In what can only be described as "a gut punch of awesomeness," the three creators/stars behind the hilarious and politically incorrect It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton) have just gotten the greenlight on their new future-based sci-fi comedy, Boldly Going Nowhere.

"Evil Dead" and "Spider-Man" Director Sam Raimi Heads to Television

Upon hearing the news that cult horror legend Sam Raimi would be working on a new horror-based reality show for the CW (tentatively titled 13), my initial reaction was surprise and intrigue. And then I snapped back to the real world: life is a giant void of suck, and reality television only widens it. Regardless of who's involved, the odds of having a decent reality show are about par with Paris Hilton making it a week without ending up in the ... Read more
