Ah finally, angels are the new imaginary friends/ghosts/vampires/werewolves/witches. Which were the new angels. Eventually TV will give everyone what they really want and return to talking mules and martians.

What I liked most about the pilot was how unintentionally campy it was, especially the rear-screen projection boat sequence. This episode though, about the only camp element was how insanely overwrought the daughter acts.

The list and parallels with Mad Men go on and on, from the Joan/aging bunny putting her hand out for spit out gum from the secretary pool/bunny herd, to the part where everyone rushed out onto the dance floor to do the twist. Except it ends where slow pacing, subtlety, keen observations about relationships, and

Watching non-MST3k Manos — no one deserves that kind of punishment.

Hey there's a point-of-view monster headed right for them!

We're discussing the MST3K versions, not the originals.

Guess NBC are still looking for a sitcom to put in the time slot preceding Will & Grace.

Worse case scenario: The Dresden Files 2.0

I don't really see why there needed to be a reboot of Charmed.

Looks like a one-episode story from Dollhouse turned into a dull, predictable series, just pretty-looking enough for the teen set but without enough meat on its bones for former Buffy fans.

I too am glad that Minority Report: The Series is happening. I predict however that it will be too dull for the regular viewer and too edgy for CBS's geriatric crowd.

Won't somebody please think of the people with the burp fetish?

Or replacing Jar Jar with one Ewok standing on the shoulders of another Ewok.

Iron Horse is a name for a motorcycle.

If Deadwood, the best and probably most realistic TV western ever, couldn't make it past three seasons, I can't imagine any of these lasting past one. CSI: Tombstone anyone? Yeah, I didn't think so.

I liked it better when Annie Lennox dressed up as a man for the Grammys back in the 80s.

Someone somewhere in Hollywood is thinking, this is the perfect time to finally do that remake of The Lost Boys that no one is asking for.
