  • Boo! Supernatural Scares and the Night Stalker Stalks Again! | Today's News: Our Take | 10/3/2007
    Before we get started, lemme just say that I got a new tattoo last night and it’s quite fetching. Red circle with a star in the center on the inside left forearm. Even the artist dug it. My buddy Jake got an anchor on his bicep…little jealous, not gonna lie. Hurt like a mofo, though. Kids, don’t try this at home.OK, now that we got that out of the way, it’s time for a little more sharing: I love the scary. Horror movies. Haunted houses. Hell, I yelped like a girl at those Burger King commercials with the wooden-faced whatever-that-is. And to anyone who was sitting near me during Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake, I apologize. Welbutrin make me all better now.Honestly, I have willingly chosen to have the bejebus freaked out of me for like, the last 7 years, spending almost every night in October watching some scream gem or another (ask me about The Boogens, please!). So, in honor of my inner scaredy-cat and the glorious approach of my personal High Holy Day of... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • I just read in TV Guide's ... | Matt Roush | 12/2/2005
    Question: I just read in TV Guide's Entertainment News that Reunion was canceled! I'm really disappointed by this news because I really enjoyed this (underwatched) show. In my opinion the whole concept and idea behind it was really well done and had been carried out nicely. Obviously, though, it was on at a horrible time and I sensed impending doom when I read that the American Idol-results show might be airing on Thursdays in 2006. I totally wasn't expecting a Season 2 of Reunion due to its low ratings, but I was at least hopeful for one full season. What happens now? Did they already shoot the 13 episodes Fox has ordered? Will Fox at least be airing all of the filmed episodes? Will we ever find out what happens? Answer: As of this moment, it's just too early to know how it will play out. It looks as if Fox will air the remaining episodes, with the finale set for Feb. 2, but the show hasn't even finished production yet (this week I was told they were still filming Episode 12), so... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • I just heard that Night ... | Matt Roush | 11/18/2005
    Question: I just heard that Night Stalker is being canceled, and they are not going to be showing the second part of the two-parter. They are just giving it the ax. Yet crap like Stacked and Wife Swap are still on the air. What gives? Is the American viewing audience really getting that dumbed down that they watch crap, and shows like Night Stalker and Arrested Development are shut out? Answer: 'Fraid so, but you'd have to be asleep not to have known that Night Stalker succeeding in the long term was improbable to impossible, even if you were a fan (which I wasn't, not because of the concept but because of the casting and the show's ponderous-to-pretentious tone). I wasn't surprised Night Stalker didn't make it, but I was annoyed for all the fans' sake that ABC yanked it in the middle of a two-parter. That's just wrong. Taking the long view, there will always be "crap" on the air, and there will always be people who would rather watch mindlessly grating swill (someone... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • I've checked out all the ... | Matt Roush | 11/7/2005
    Question: I've checked out all the spooky-ooky shows this season (Surface, Supernatural, Invasion, Night Stalker, Ghost Whisperer and Threshold) and all of them have been beaten hands down by a little six-episode British series I just happened across on Showtime called Strange. It was the only one that I could not watch at night alone! Have you caught this show? It had a great ongoing story arc that hasn't been resolved in the six episodes that I saw, as well as very surprising stand-alone stories within each episode. Please tell me that there is more Strange to come! Answer: It doesn't surprise me that the British do this sort of thing better than anyone, but this series was news to me, so thanks! I searched the listings and discovered the episodes are being played now exclusively on the Showtime multiplex channel Showtime Beyond. You got my attention, so I've set my DVR and one of these days I hope to find time to watch it. I love this sort of thing. As for future episodes, I... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • Am I the only one not ... | Matt Roush | 10/31/2005
    Question: Am I the only one not lamenting Everwood's move to Thursdays? I've just discovered it this season, and already it seems everyone (including Ausiello) wants it back on Mondays. On Monday, for me, it was buried under the CBS comedy block, Las Vegas and Monday Night Football. On Thursday, I've never gotten into The Apprentice, I've never felt any inclination to watch Night Stalker, and I'm willing to record CSI in favor of watching Everwood in prime time. I for one want it to stay right where it is. Thanks, Matt, and keep up the good work. Answer: You're in luck. I'm reasonably sure it's staying put on Thursday. WB is thrilled with how well Smallville is doing on Thursdays, and Everwood is doing better in the 9 pm/ET slot than anything the network has put there before. Our main concern here at TV Guide was that this move would kill the show, and that doesn't appear to be the case at all. Wherever Everwood airs would be inconvenient for me (I used to watch it at least a day... read more be the first to leave a comment
