Looks great!

I love Cat Grant because she is outrageous and an unqualified hoot. She got all the good lines last night. “Just tell me you’re still a Democrat,” taunting Rhea about the tiara, the bit about the pot brownies, critiquing the French Resistance vibe of the dive bar, etc.

Everybody else on the show is so sincere and

They’re getting there. Just in the last few days I’ve seen editorials and columns in the New York Times and USA Today basically stating that the President is an impulsive child with no self-control and no attention span, who is incapable of really understanding anything about policy or diplomacy.

Presenting . . . the Eighth Wonder of the World!

And this is where I shamelessly mention that there’s going to be a novelization as well:

The guy from THE BLOB, right?

(I kid, I kid.)

Exactly. The human race was nearly wiped out by the virus, causing the collapse of civilization, so the combined might of the human race isn’t what it used to be.

Abe Vigoda. Not “Vugota.”

Just to clear things up.

Heck, if you want to further back, there was one brief, glorious season when both THE NIGHT STALKER and PLANET OF THE APES aired on Friday. Alas, neither made it to a second season. (Teen Greg was crushed.)

And Friday night is, of course, where STAR TREK went to die . . ..

I clicked to see if ALPHAVILLE made the list . . . and was not disappointed.

Trivia: KISS ME DEADLY also features a shockingly young Cloris Leachman—as a nude hitchhiker, no less.

From KISS ME DEADLY to AMERICAN GODS . . . talk about a long career!

Trust me, it’s much more akin to BUFFY than THE WALKING DEAD. Liv even has her own Scooby gang of sorts, and her perpetual nemesis, Blaine, bears a distnct resemblance to Spike.

It’s not a gritty tale of survival after the zombie apocalypse. It’s about a smart, snarky zombie chick solving crimes in modern-day

No time travel yet, although iZombie is NOT your typical “zombie show.” It’s closer in tone to BUFFY than, say, THE WALKING DEAD. Funny characters, snarky dialogue, etc.

I like to describe it as “VERONICA MARS with brain-eating.”

What about time-traveling zombies?

Okay, that’s something at least.

Damn. I really liked TIMELESS, and thought it had a good chance of being renewed after getting front-page coverage in USA TODAY a few weeks ago, after winning the paper’s annual “Save Our Shows” poll by record numbers.

Any chance we can go back in time and fix this?

Do we know what the title of the movie is, as opposed to the book?

I suspect they won’t be able to use the word “Superman” in the title.

Ignore the headline. It’s not actually a Superman movie. It’s a docudrama about the making of the old “Superman” radio show—and the way it was used to combat the KKK back in the day.

Just to avoid confusion, that was not a TV series. That was a movie serial that played in theaters. “TV” was not really a thing back then.

And this should in no ways be confused with the actual BATMAN tv series that aired in the 1960s.

As I understand it, the movie is not going to have the fictional character, Superman, fighting the KKK. It’s going to be true story of how old “Superman” radio show took on the KKK.

That’s not trivializing the issue; that’s history.

I’m not sure “novelization” is even the right word here. Sounds more like a non-fiction book to me.
