GCB’s Finale: Got (Cheesily) Better

by TV Show Warehouse on May 7, 2012

GCB S01E10: “Revelation” Brace yourselves: I liked the GCB season finale quite a bit! Maybe it’s because the episode was a little more focused—it stumbled along with some of the comedy bits, but put a lot more emphasis on the drama and plotting. Sure, the ladies were still squabbling like vapid cartoons for the entire hour, but at least there was the added edge that the finale might end things by killing them all off in the middle of the desert. (And then pick up in Season 2 with them squabbling for…

by TV Show Warehouse on April 14, 2012

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) – Sorry, Seth MacFarlane fans: when it comes to his planned “Flintstones” reboot, the operative phrase is now, “Yabba Dabba Don’t.” The revamp of the classic cartoon about a prehistoric working schlub and his family, which was to air on Fox, has been put on ice indefinitely, due to schedule concerns on MacFarlane’s part. Fox announced the series last May with a plan to premiere the new “Flintstones” in 2013. Though the news may disappoint, it’s hardly surprising that MacFarlane should find his plate too full. …

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama appears in an upcoming Cartoon Network documentary aimed at encouraging bullied children and others to speak up, and says that as the father of two young girls he is deeply concerned about the issue. In an introduction to the 30-minute film, the president appeals to students, parents and teachers to take a stand on bullying. “It’s wrong, it’s disruptive and we can all prevent it,” said Obama, who hosted the first White House conference on bullying last year. He said that he was speaking not only as the president but as a father.

CABLE CHANNEL MISNOMER NEWS … Though it’s not as bad as MTV not playing music, Cartoon Network airing live-action programming, and Syfy greenlighting a cooking show, History Channel, once television’s home for grainy war footage and Hitler, is entering the scripted drama field. The network has ordered the series Vikings , a historical drama about those horned-helmet-wearing pillagers. It comes from Michael Hirst, the creator of Showtime’s The Tudors . The press release says it won’t include “mindless, graphic slaughter,” as though that’s a good…

by TV Show Warehouse on January 20, 2012

If you tuned into FX at 10pm last night looking for a solid hour of animated comedy, you probably left half satisfied. The third season of Archer , which is arguably TV’s funniest show, premiered and didn’t miss a step. It was half-an-hour of rapid-fire zingers, cartoon danger, and Burt Reynolds . That was followed by the premiere of Unsupervised , arguably TV’s worst new show. It was half-an-hour of zero jokes, annoying characters, and…

What’s Your Favorite Community End Tag?

by TV Show Warehouse on January 20, 2012

Schedules be damned! We’re covering our favorite comedy, Community, every week until NBC puts it back on the air. Back when Community was on the air (*sniff*), 8:29pm on Thursday night didn’t mean the show was over. The NBC comedy always saved some of its best material its end tags, the 45 seconds or so at the end of an episode while the credits run.
