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 […]

Felicia Day Serves Up Dish On Gaming, The Guild, Eureka And A Little Syfy Movie Called Red: Werewolf Hunter!
You probably know her as Slayer-in-Training Vi from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Mag from Dollhouse, or, if you’re a gamer, Codex from the long-running web series, The Guild. She’s a fine violinist and has a Bachelor’s Degree in Science for Mathematics. Plus, she was Billy’s crush, Penny, in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog – where […]
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 […]
Hollywood Treasure’s Joe Maddalen Talks Syfy’s Newest Unscripted Series!
Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to take part in a teleconference Q&A session with Joe Maddalena, owner of Profiles in History, an auction house that deals in Hollywood memorabilia and is the subject of Syfy’s new unscripted series, Hollywood Treasure [Wednesdays, 10/9C]. The series of twelve half-hour episodes, run in two-ep blocks, has a […]
SyFy’s New Series Hunts Hollywood Treasure
Jeanie’s bottle. We all wanted one at some point in time. All the girls wanted to be that pretty genie with the magical powers, and all the boys dreamed of having a hot genie like Barbara Eden to command. For those growing up with I Dream of Jeanie, or who watched the syndicated show many […]
The Return of the Original Toasters – Syfy Greenlights Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome!
If all goes well, Battlestar Galactica fans will be able to see the original Toasters in action. Syfy has greenlighted a two-hour pilot called Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome – to be set during the tenth year of the first Cylon War. Its entry point will be the assignment of the young William Adama to […]
Monsterwolf Chews ‘Em Up!
Syfy’s Monsterwolf [tonight, 9/8C] is a vast improvement over most of the movies that the network originals that run on the “most dangerous night of the week.” The story is pretty simple – workers for Holter Oil blast away instead of respecting a Native American artifact and loose a dark guardian spirit, called the Kachinawaya,that […]
What Took Them So Long? Syfy Renews Warehouse 13!
Syfy’s Warehouse 13 had a second season that both entertained like crazy and pulled in strong ratings, so it’s hard to understand why the series didn’t have a third season pick-up by the time the second season ended. Finally, the logical/inevitable decision was made and the snappy series about two Secret Service agents who snag, […]
Caprica’s Real and Virtual Worlds Engross As Series Returns For Season 1.5!
It’s been a hair over six months since Amanda Greystone stepped off a bridge in the mid-season finale of Caprica [Syfy, Tuesdays, 10/9C]. In the meantime, things have changed considerably.
Stargate Universe: Just Another Day in Outer Space!
Stargate Universe [Syfy, Tuesdays, 9/8C] makes its second season premiere on a new night – and that’s the only thing that’s changed. Intervention finds the inhabitants of the ancient Ancient starship Destiny in as precarious a position as the one in which they were when last we saw them – but we don’t actually find […]
