Dark Skies is one of those programs that reached for the skies [literally] but didn’t quite catch the public’s attention in spite of being a very high quality production. An intelligent, frequently thrilling alien invasion show, Dark Skies is but one of many one-season wonders that I wish had been given the time to tell […]

History As We Know It Is A Lie! Dark Skies: The Declassified Complete Series Explores Our Planet’s ‘Real’ History On DVD!
I’ve watched a lot of TV over the years – and become a fan of many quality series that lasted only one season [or less]. One of the best of these is Dark Skies, a sci-fi series that suggested that the Earth’s history was not what we read in history books. Rather, it was manipulated […]

DVD REVIEW: The Middleman: The Complete Series – True Blue Hero and Sardonic Sidekick Save The World From Comic Book Villains! Who Knew?
One last season’s summer shows, ABC Family’s The Middleman, had me at the tentacle monster and reeled me in at the gorilla gangster. Javier [call him Javi] Grillo-Marxuach’s series – adapted from the graphic novel that was adapted from an unsold TV script [still with me?] achieved something that no other comics-to-movies/TV has ever done […]

Bueller lasted one season [with its finale held back ‘til just over a year after its premiere] and Parker […]
DVD REVIEW: Transformers – The Complete First Season – 25 Years
Considering that the Transformers were created by taking a bunch of disparate Japanese toys with no connection – but kinda looked like they might belong together – and given unique identities and a backstory by a group of guys at Hasbro®, they’ve certainly managed to hold the public’s interest. With the second Transformers movie about […]
