Win a Fairy JobMother Prize Pack!!
We don’t get behind many reality TV Shows here at Eclipse, but I have to say the folks at Lifetime are really pushing their new show The Fairy Job Mother. They have given us a fabulous Prize Package to give away. Based on the popular British format and produced by Studio Lambert (Undercover Boss), […]
Online Scavenger Hunt Leads To Sneak Peek of Pretty Little Liars’ Winter Premiere!
In my estimation, ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars is the best teen soap currently being aired on North American Television – and I’m not alone. Now, ABC Family has introduced an online scavenger hunt – Pretty Little Liars’ Secret Seekers. – whereby the show’s fans will have the opportunity to win a private premiere screening […]
Shaken, Stirred & Obsessed –Syfy Goes Nuts With Marathons For Thanksgiving Weekend!
What do James Bond [in all his various incarnations from Connery to Craig], Ghost Hunters and Hollywood Treasure have in common? They are all being marathoned [is that even a word?] for the Thanksgiving weekend. Then, to add to the multi-faceted fun, there’s an airing of Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park and the premiere of Triassic […]

AMC’s The Walking Dead Takes Zombie Genre to New Heights! Michelle’s Review!
Wow, Sunday night Television is getting packed. We have Football (usually the week’s marquee game), HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and now AMC joins the party with their amazing new dense series The Walking Dead. I’m not a fan of Zombies, always found them really boring, so it’s a good thing AMC’s new series is about how […]
Zombies Aren’t Smart – The Walking Dead Is!
A police car pulls into what seems to be an encampment of some sort and a man in uniform gets out, holding a gas can. He walks through the encampment until he spots a young girl [from behind]. When he calls to her, she turns to face him – and he sees that she is […]
Red: Werewolf Hunter – Surprisingly Earnest B-Movie With Series Potential!
Most of Syfy’s Saturday night original movies are fun in that cheesy, ‘50s sci-fi/horror, B-movie kind of way. Some are brilliantly campy and others are just plain awful. This Saturday’s Red: Werewolf Hunter [9/8C] is one of their best. Part of the reason is that the writing is smarter; part of it is that it […]
Television: Thoughts on Supernatural S6.05 Live Free or Twi-Hard & A Sneak Peek Look at S6.06 You Can’t Handle the Truth
Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) got ‘vamped’ and his brother Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) stood by and allowed it to happen. That has got to be the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen on Supernatural. But, it’s also the first time in a long while that an episode of this hit action series has put me on […]
Looks Like The Apple Was Poisoned – Syfy Cancels Caprica!
Syfy has announced the cancelation of the Battlestar Galactica prequel series, Caprica. The series has been pulled from Syfy’s schedule effective immediately. Caprica, which was conceived to tell the story of how the Cylons were created – the stories of two key families whose destinies were intertwined – started with an exposition-heavy pilot and early […]
Syfy’s Hollywood Treasure Auction Series Focused on Hollywood Memorabilia!
May be if Antiques Roadshow actually auctioned stuff off like Syfy’s new reality series, Hollywood Treasure [Wednesdays, 10/9C], I’d watch it. That’s part of the unexpected charm of HT – not only do we get to see the folks at Joe Maddalena’s Profiles in History track down such cool collectible items as a Jupiter II […]
