Monster Factory: Puppet-filled Fun
What do you get when you put a few little green monsters in a high school? Well, in the real world you’d probably get mass hysteria. In animated form, probably something akin of Invader Zim. But if those monsters are puppets and the rest of the student population isn’t, then you get Monster Factory. Here, […]

Soul Fire Rising
The more one bounces around online, the more little interesting things one comes across. This bit of new online series came my way via Kelly Stables Twitter account, most recently recognizable as part of the cast of Romantically Challenged, the very hastily (and unfortunately) canceled sitcom headlined by Alyssa Milano. Stables is a producer on […]

Trenches: Worth the Wait
Trenches hit the web today. So far, it’s looking like it was worth the wait. First three episodes are up at Crackle. Here’s the first one: From Crackle: 1: Fubar My friend Kelley doesn’t show up just yet, but the production value is pretty high and the space battle and ground conflict are intense.

Trenches Finally Sees the Light of Day
A few years ago, my friend Kelley was involved in the production of a sci-fi series called Trenches that really piqued my interest. It was an online series with some pretty hefty backing (Disney/ABC) about a bunch of space marines shooting it out on an alien planet when things go from bad to worse. Unfortunately, […]

NBC-Comcast Merger: Bad for Us?
It looks like Comcast is well on its way to becoming part-owner of NBC-Universal. According to a post at the New York Time DealBook blog: General Electric has reached a tentative agreement to buy Vivendi’s 20 percent stake in NBC Universal for about $5.8 billion, helping clear the path to a sale of the television […]

Marble Hornets: A Virtual Mystery
Perhaps my favorite type of storytelling on the Internet. This one is only about three weeks and eight posts in. It’s suitably creepy and engaging enough to keep me wondering where it’s going… at least for now. More to come… (when I finally have time to write about things again…)

Dr. Horrible Arrives Soon!
Just a quick reminder that Dr. Horrible’s Sing A Long Blog “opens” in a handful of hours. Am I still excited? Yes I am. 🙂 Of course, I won’t be watching it until I’m home from work Tuesday night, so I’m expecting to be scooped on everything. But I’m still going to enjoy it. No […]

Everyone! Sing along!
If you’re even a passing fan of anything Joss Whedon has done (Buffy, Firefly, the upcoming Dollhouse series, etc.), you’ve probably already heard of his latest project. It’s a little ditty called Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. And it looks like it’s going to be a tremendous amount of fun. Of course, it’s a musical. Even […]

From the Web to the Network
This Tuesday at 10 p.m., Quarterlife (which I mentioned a while back) makes the leap from the computer screen to the TV screen when it debuts on NBC after the next episode of The Biggest Loser. If you haven’t checked out this show online already, catch it when it hits the main stream. From the […]

Quarterlife
I’m apparently a little behind the times. There’s a new show that should be hitting the NBC airwaves next year and I just found out about it. Normally, that’s not too disconcerting of a thing. After all, I live in the DC area and not LA or NY. What’s disturbing here is that the show […]
