I originally posted this on my personal Tumblr, almost word-for-word, last night. Paul was aghast (rightfully so?) that I didn’t use it for the blog. So here we are. During the Joss Whedon Reddit Q&A yesterday afternoon, one user asked, among other things, I would love to know anything about your personal motivations for being such [...]

Paul & AJ’s Top 10 TV Series of 2011
Posted in TV News on January 4, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
If you missed it last week, we rolled out our top 10 films of 2011. Now, here are our top 10 TV shows. PAUL: 10. SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE (FOX) I’ve been slightly more forgiving of reality TV than a lot of people I think, but just barely. For the most part, the [...]

Mad Men fans, rejoice! In recent weeks, the show’s future seemed up in the air as talks between network American Movie Classics and creator Matthew Weiner seemed on the brink of collapsing due to the kind of ordinary Hollywood bullshit negotiating that derails many a project. AMC wanted two cast members cut and more product [...]

Could there be any more exciting casting news?! Deadline is reporting that the role of Detective Christian Walker in the upcoming FX series Powers has been offered to Coach Taylor… er, I mean Kyle Chandler! Powers is the comic series by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Avon Oeming focusing on two homicide detectives that [...]
Wonder Wardrobe Update

Congratulations, Internets! You’ve successfully cyber-bullied the wardrobe department of the new Wonder Woman television series. On set images of the costume in action (draped over someone who may or may not be WW actress Adrianne Palicki) show red boots instead of blue, and leggings that look more Lycra, less shiny Bat-rubber. So relax, you won. [...]
Stephen King May Pen an Episode of ‘The Walking Dead’

The Walking Dead: great pilot, good show, could be better. And if you want your horror series to get better, who do you sign on to write an episode? Stephen King, of course. We here at Gobbledygeek (at least the half that’s me) are huge fans of King, and think this news couldn’t be much [...]
New Bits of Footage: ‘The Avengers,’ ‘Lost’
Posted in Movie News, TV News, tagged adaptation, comic books, comic-con, comics, dvd, film, joss whedon, lost, michael emerson, movie trailers, movies, samuel l jackson, superheroes, television, the avengers, trailers, tv, tv clips on August 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Two tantalizing bits of footage leaked online today: the Avengers teaser shown at Comic-Con, and a clip of the forthcoming DVD epilogue of Lost. Well, you can’t really call The Avengers bit “footage,” as it merely features Samuel L. Jackson’s commanding voice over a slowly revealed logo, but hey, it’s enough to get me excited. If [...]
‘Party Down’ Is Canceled; Comedy Fans Weep
Posted in TV News, tagged 30 rock, adam scott, cancellation, comedy, community, jane lynch, john enbom, modern family, parks and recreation, party down, rob thomas, ryan hansen, sitcom, spartacus, spartacus blood and sand, starz, television, the office, tv on June 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
You’ve probably never seen an episode of Party Down. It had dire ratings; this past Friday’s season finale, for example, only garnered 74,000 viewers. My rationale was that it was on premium cable channel Starz (which, we can agree, does not have the luster of HBO or Showtime) but with that channel’s relative hit Spartacus: Blood [...]

Ack! It’s late in the day, and I still haven’t wished my Dark Lord and Master, Joss Whedon, a happy birthday. To make up for it, and to show that the guy isn’t just all about breaking hearts and visiting death upon your puppy, here’s some examples of Joss Whedon’s great sense of humor: “You’re [...]
