For some pop culture collectors to watch Syfy’s “Collection Intervention,” it feels something like Googling your sore knee and concluding you have a brain tumor. But no matter what the size of your stash, “Collection Intervention” (premieres tonight) and the Travel Channel’s new “Toy Hunter” (premieres Wednesday) are interesting additions to the reality genre. “Collection … Continue Reading →
With less than a week to go before the season premiere of “Grimm,” Universal releases the first season on DVD and Blu-ray today. And as one of the bright spots of the season last year, it’s definitely worth a look-see. (For your chance to win a copy, see last Friday’s giveaway.) Of the two main … Continue Reading →
It may have started a little slow, but NBC’s “Grimm” quickly grew on me over the course of last TV season. And the same must have gone for a lot of viewers, as it grew into one of the network’s more popular shows and will be getting an early start this month with a post-Olympics … Continue Reading →
I didn’t expect to like the BBC’s “Misfits” much, but the DVD won me over. The first series (season) set is out today and contains the show’s first six episodes.

Well, tonight we do, along with the season premiere of “Alphas,” another good show. (“Lost Girl,” yet another fun Syfy show — they’re on a roll, has moved to Fridays.) Here’s a look: … Continue Reading →

Last week was “Warehouse 13,” and “Alphas” will be out this week. “Warehouse 13″ (Universal): Season 3 was probably “Warehouse 13′s” strongest, dramatically. It even got so dramatic, I have … Continue Reading →

It would appear I may be coining that term, at least when referring to male fans of the Disney Channel’s “Phineas and Ferb” and, especially, the character of Perry the Platypus. Since I’m not a Brony. As the breakout star of the show, Perry gets a dedicated … Continue Reading →
Following the trend of big events playing in movie theaters, Paramount is going big screen with an anniversary event for “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” The first season Blu-ray will be out July 24, and at 7 p.m. July 23, Fathom Events will present two episodes in move theaters, plus some behind-the-scenes interviews on the … Continue Reading →
On Friday, I looked at summer TV, so here’s a handy round-up for fall. Network TV looks like it will be a little geek-shy, as there will be fewer new shows with sci-fi/fantasy spins. Luckily, we’ll have the returns of NBC’s “Grimm” and ABC’s “Once Upon a Time,” and a series wrap-up for “Fringe” on … Continue Reading →
