A young girl and three strange companions embark on a quest in a magical realm in this miniseries update of the classic L. Frank Baum tale.

Ask Matt | 1/21/2008
I know you may be sick of writing about Tin Man, since you really didn't care for it anyway. But I finally just finished watching my stuff on TiVo and I was wondering if there was any plan for this to go from a miniseries to a series. I know that The Lost Room was supposed to and didn't. And that The Starter Wife wasn't intended to but did. Of course, the WGA strike may put a serious hold on things. But I heard that the ratings were really good for Sci Fi, and I know I loved it. However, I'm... read more

I had to write in regarding your response to a reader's comments about Tin Man. You wrote: "Being edgy is fine, but just because something is edgy and dark doesn't necessarily make it better. And when did it become fashionable to slam things for being sweet?" You are kidding, right? Almost everyone in the media today criticizes things for being too sweet, even children's shows. I am the mother of two young children (ages 7 and 4), and it seems that everything produced for kids these days is ... read more

I watched Tin Man and loved it. The way they tied almost every aspect of it into the original Wizard of Oz made it really interesting. The budget must have been well above the average miniseries. How is it that a show like this didn't end up in theaters or at least on a major network? read more

Episode Recap: Part Three - The Conclusion | Tin Man Show Blog | 12/5/2007
“That’s the OZ I remember. I am so glad to be home.” ~ DGThat’s it? This is where the journey beyond the yellow brick road ends – one big happy family (and a few friends) smiling at the sunrise. For this darker re-imaging of the Wizard of Oz I expected a more satisfying ending then smiles and sunshine, especially after this final chapter full of action and homage’s to the Baum classic.It started off with DG and company finally reaching Finaqua, and DG skipping a... read more
Desperate Housewives Tornado Kills the Competition | Today's News: Our Take | 12/4/2007
OK, after watching Sunday's episode, I get it: Marc Cherry's plum is ripe for the watching again. So I don't blame Nielsen's families for tuning in in droves to learn that Tom Scavo (presumably) got swept away by a natural disaster. The dramedy was watched by 20.6 million 18- to 49-year-old viewers, giving it a 7.7 rating/17 share in the demo and its best overall numbers since November sweeps 2006. ABC kicked ass before and after the whirlwind, too, winning at 8 pm/ET with Extreme Makeover:... read more
Episode Recap: "Search for the Emerald" | Tin Man Show Blog | 12/4/2007
Hello my fellow Ozians, it’s good to hear from me isn’t it? Ok, don’t burst my bubble - I will admit this action packed chapter held my attention more, and really wasn’t too shabby.I took pause in the opening scene tonight trying to think how Tin Man could send Dorothy (I mean DG) back to Kansas already. Maybe that would have been a more exciting twist having DG trying to find her way back into the O.Z., but alas we should have know it was all the evil trickery of Azkadellia... read more
Episode Recap: "Into the Storm" | Tin Man Show Blog | 12/3/2007
"This isn't a nightmare. This is the O.Z. — Outer Zone." — GlitchI don't think we are in Kansas anymore…or at least not the Kansas we all know and love. The Sci-Fi Channel has definitely taken us on a journey far beyond the yellow brick road we are used to with the dark mini-series Tin Man.The series opens up on a young woman having bad dreams (that could mirror the boat-ride scene in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory mind you), which feature a lady with lavender eyes... read more
Snoop's Ode to Pimps Past, A Tornado Hits Wisteria Lane & More! | Today's Top Videos | 11/30/2007
Snoop's Music Video PremiereThe D.O. Double G is back with a hot new music video, "Sensual Seduction," but we can assure you that you've never seen him like this before. In his ode to pimps past, the Doggfather suits up in what is quite possibly the most absurdly retro video of all time. We're talkin' the whole nine here — sequins, disco balls, even Snoop rockin' full-on chops. Classic.Watch it now!A Twister Hits Wisteria Lane! Watch out, ladies, there's a tornado a-brewin' and it's headed... read more
Tin Man Preview: Take a Trip to a Dark New Oz | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/30/2007
The four travelers seem so familiar. One lacks courage, one has no brain, one lost his heart, and the other was brought here by a tornado. But as these ragtag pals traipse through the forest in search of their destinies, they don't break into song or meet sweet, helium-voiced witches in big, poufy ball gowns. They are in the O.Z. ? aka the Outer Zone ? a dictator state where bullets fly, people are horridly tortured and prostitutes peddle instant gratification on the roadside for "reasonable... read more
Neal McDonough: Sci Fi's Tin Man Is a Family Man | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/29/2007
Actor Neal McDonough (Traveler) based his decision to take on the lead in Sci Fi's anticipated Oz-take, Tin Man (premiering Dec. 2 at 9 pm/ET), on atypical reasons: "For me, having two babies now and the most beautiful wife in the world ? wonderful wife, best friend, everything ? I had to think about that," he told TV Guide at the media premiere. "Every decision I make now is 100 percent about my family, for (Tin Man) Wyatt Cain it was the same thing and he had it taken away from him." ... read more
A Mixed TV-Movie Bag: Oz to Awwws | Roush Review | 11/28/2007
A warning to all friends of Dorothy?by which I mean all fans of the MGM classic "The Wizard of Oz": Forget the rainbow. Sci Fi Channel's trippy Tin Man goes over the top and over the edge in an audaciously bizarre, altogether curious reimagining of the L. Frank Baum fantasy. I admire its nerve (to quote the lovable Cowardly Lion, here transformed into a human-wolverine-psychic hybrid named Raw), and there's no question Tin Man is ambitious. But replacing "Oz"'s joyfully timeless charm with ... read more
