Under The Dome from CBS is a Stephen King daptation for Television. Its not scary in the usual Stephen King way, but more towards how people will panic when they are cut off. Looks like a very interesting summer with shows like these. Its a 13 part miniseries, and if it does well the they will extend it for another season, but it does look interesting, its science fiction so I know I will be watching it.
Airing June 24th 2013
Every season just keeps getting better, and from what some of the critics say, the show is getting even better then the book. I’m expecting it to last two more seasons, and for them to wrap up this insane show. I only read the first book, but I heard book 4 and 5 have too much information, but the show has brought some of these characters to life and in season 3 you either hate someone more or love them more. I don’t want to ruin the show for anyone, and I watched the show all one go, I didn’t watch episode as it was released, in a 24 hour period I watched all the episodes so after eating and breathing Game of Thrones I really wanted more, and episode 9 is EPIC, I love that the keep you on your toes in this show. You get invested with some of the characters and they throw an unexpected twist your way. The best two characters in this show by far are Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion is the only man standing up to the bastard King and he says exactly what you are thinking. Daenerys Targaryen has developed into something bigger and more fierce then I thought she could be, she takes the most decisions in the storyline that she literally makes you want to stand up and clap, she can have her own show the way she is going, I’m looking forward to seeing how they bring this all together.
24 is coming back, not the full series, but a short action packed series compressed into 12 episodes. People who have seen or were obsessed with 24 knew how it was as a show, hour to hour with tensions high. They are bring back Jon Cassar who is the original executive producer/director from the beginning of 24.
They always had this idea of someday doing a feature film, they talked about it so many times over the years. I think they all agreed that ’24’ compressed into two hours is not ’24.’ … What they’ll be able to do is go in chronological order of the day, but skip hours. Jack Bauer coming back to our screens and even he is excited for this show, I don’t know what to expect but I know its going to be good, and its slated for release on May 2014.
Star Kiefer Sutherland also expressed his enthusiasm for the new season in a statement from Fox back in May. “The response to ‘24’ is unlike anything I have ever experienced as an actor before. To have the chance to reunite with the character, Jack Bauer, is like finding a lost friend. The story ideas from Howard Gordon are exciting and fresh, and will not disappoint … Make no mistake, my goal is to knock your socks off. See you soon.â€
There are a lot of shows that have ended that have been around for a long time. Some of them came on the first few years I started working so it has been a constant for me to watch them, and now they have come to an end and this is what I have done the last two weeks is catch up on tv shows when I could and in this case finish the ones I knew have ended, and sometimes there are shows I just don’t finish for some reason.
30 Rocks – 7 Seasons
Liz lived happily and neurotically ever after. Jack got to sail off into the sunset and come right back. Kenneth’s immortal vessel got to run NBC well into the flying-car future. And Lutz — 51-year-old, bisexual, part-Inuit Lutz — got to pick the lunch place. One hell of a season finale.
Rules of Engagement – 7 Seasons
This is one of the few shows that I enjoyed David Spade in, and they wrapped it up a bit on the last episode because they knew the end was coming. And I love Patrick Warburton the guy is seriously a guy’s guy and every man thinks like he does but they don’t state, he just comes right out and says it. Too bad this show ended, was hoping for more.
The Office – 9 Seasons
A show that thrived on heartache, awkwardness, and cheekiness, things wrapped up very cheerily for the characters — and for the fans, who got one last Michael Scott “that’s what she said.” The Office came to an end with a hell of last episode and I loved it.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars – 5 Seasons
Lucas Ranch was sold Star Wars to Disney and a few shows got chopped off and this is one of them. Anakin and Ashoka were developed well into the series, the ending wasn’t what I was hoping for since there is always more you can get from the Star Wars Universe.
From Emmy Award-winning writer/producers of “Parks and Recreation” and starring Emmy Award winners Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” is a new single-camera workplace comedy about what happens when a hotshot detective (Samberg) gets a new Captain (Braugher) with a lot to prove.
It’s sort of like The Office meets Blue Bloods, Fox has the right line up starting with this show. I honestly I am a huge fan of Andre Braugher but wouldn’t have pictured him doing this, and Andy Samberg is hilarious so they are going to be an interesting mix. This is going to be a damn good show!
Green Lantern: Animated Series
For once a show that really explored the Green Lantern Universe, and the animation grew on me, I’m not usually too keen on CGI but this combination they got it right. The characters really filled their place with the right type of drama. Only to be suddenly cut off and now no more GL when there is still so much to explore and so many enemies to face. The thing about the Green Lantern Universe is that they have so much material to work with that they can literally keep this show going for decades with an excellent story line, but it is yet another show that met it’s end prematurely.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
For Five Years I have been following this show and craving every episode, I just love the way it was developed and now, I have to wait until the movie next year or the new animated series which is called Star Wars Rebels. I don’t know where its going to pick up but I loved the characters in this show, especially the bad guys, they really put a lot of depth into the characters, it doesn’t feel like some kid show. I’m almost done with season five, I just hope they didn’t leave us hanging, now that Disney bought it out I just hope they don’t turn it into a kiddy show and keep the dignity that the Star Wars animated franchise has.
Young Justice
They built an amazing storyline, which had a hell of an ending, I was honestly expecting more for next season only to find out that it has been cancelled. They sort of picked up where the original Justice League left off and that was an amazing show too, now I don’t know what they have planned but for something as serious and as well done as these animated shows, they have some big shoes to fill.
9 Seasons, a show that nobody thought could end, but when Michael Scott left I think a lot of people who were addicted to the, show such as myself, knew it was going to end at some point. The 75-minute episode capped nine seasons with laugh-out-loud moments and tender tributes. I for one wasn’t choked up while watching the season finale at all, no really I wasn’t, ok I was. I got really worked up about this show, it has had more of an effect then you realize. I got used to seeing The Office over the weekend, used to their episodes with Jim & Dwight getting into some crazy prank or something happening in the office and they end up not doing any work at all.
The season finale was probably one of the best season finale’s I have seen, it gave closure, it gives you a glimpse into the characters that you have loved and enjoyed for so long. I don’t want to ruin for anyone but if you enjoyed this show then you have to watch it. I want to thank my wife for getting me addicted to this show, I watch Season 1-5 one go a few years back and slowly kept watching episode to episode. They really put a huge amount of effort into the season finale, everyone cared so much, and you can genuinely tell that they were all emotional at the end, which made it even harder to watch. This show really ended on a high note, something very few shows have done in the history of television, I even remember the crappy season finale of Seinfeld, after so long you expected to end well but it didn’t but The Office, couldn’t have ended any better. You feel like you know these people, like you are saying good bye to friends that you won’t be seeing any time soon, now I want to get all The Office Bobble Heads, it was an emotional ending, lets just say that. What a show!
Now this show I want to watch, and based on Joss Whedon’s track record with Serenity & Firefly (For the SciFi Geeks), and Avengers I know he will do this show justice, to give S.H.I.E.L.D depth and meaning so that it will flourish next season and I’m liking this trailer.
A show that I enjoyed from the beginning and one of the most satisfying seasons I have watched yet. Ending on a very high note, and a big bang with the perfect type of build up. This show was so good that I thought of Sherlock Holmes as only this odd genius and nothing else from the movies or the original books. Surprisingly Lucy Liu played an excellent Watson, not the person you would expect to play the role which made it even better, and she was fantastic in the show, and not in her usual roles. This show is a must see with an excellent and well developed story line, it leaves you satisfied and I’m excited to see what they have planned for next season.

So many good shows went out the window, I’m seriously surprised that they cancelled so many when they were so entertaining, but a lot of good shows got renewed which I’m happy they made it. This doesn’t even include the new shows like JJ Abram’s “Believe” and the rest of the new line up.
