“Ghost Hunters” returns to Syfy tonight without one of its core members. Grant Wilson left the show a few months ago at the midseason finale to pursue other interests, among them the gaming company Rather Dashing Games. Grant was my favorite, and the show suffers a bit for his absence. The hunts are still fun … Continue Reading →
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 →
If winter felt a little colder than it actually was, that’s because we didn’t have new episodes of “Warehouse 13″ on Syfy. 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 →
With “Warehouse 13″ and “Alphas” set to have their season premieres July 23, it’s time for the DVDs of the previous seasons to come out. 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 →
After reading Mekeisha Madden Toby’s summer show guide, which included only one show with geek appeal, “True Blood,” a co-worker said I should write up the geek response. So for those of us who couldn’t care less about another dance show or incognito millionaires, here are more shows to keep you on the couch and, … Continue Reading →
SyFy’s “Eureka” returned this week for a final season of oddball sci-fi fun. Suprisingly, I’ve not been a regular watcher. Though it seems right up my alley, I was watching too much TV and never started. But I have enjoyed the odd episode now and then, especially the “Warehouse 13″ cross-over (great idea) and last … Continue Reading →
After several days of being a bit behind in my reviews, I’m looking ahead — to Syfy’s “Lost Girl,” which premieres at 10 p.m. Monday. In short, I like it. Syfy provided the first two episodes of the newly acquired show for review. While the show is obviously still finding its footing (it’s on its … Continue Reading →
Happy New Year, readers! And with the new year come new seasons of some of my favorite geeky TV shows, along with some new series to keep us busy. It starts Jan. 6 on Syfy with the fourth season of “Merlin,” one of my favorite light-hearted finds of the last few years. It’s the story … Continue Reading →
OK, this week’s give away isn’t particularly attuned to the holidays, but I wanted to get it in a luck reader’s hand. Syfy’s “Being Human” remake returns for a new season Jan. 16 (see teaser below), so you can get all caught up with season one if you win this week’s giveaway. I’ve got the … Continue Reading →
Every so often, something “Farscape” will pop up to remind me how awesome this series was on the old Sci-Fi Channel (now Syfy). Most recently, it’s been the comic book from Boom! Studios. Now, A&E Home Entertainment is releasing the main series on Blu-ray. They’re calling it the “Complete Series,” and while I supposed that’s … Continue Reading →
