Seriously, if you are not watching this show, then you are missing out on one of the most suspenseful, bizzare, horrific, frightening, and awesome television shows on the air right now.

I like to think that Glee is suffering because its creators are putting all their focus here. I’m sure that’s not true - but after watching four episodes (and catching up on number five tonight) I’m craving for more.

That’s when I know I’m hooked.

Already renewed for a second season, check out American Horror Story if you haven’t yet. If you have - tell me what you think!

This was a fun little video put together for Comic-Con 2011 - Peter Bishop auditions. But, the last one…Is it just there as a joke for the fans or could it be a clue?

Returning October 16th!

Well, John Noble (Fringe) got screwed again - as did Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy) but here are the nominations - my hopefuls are in bold.

Watching Chuck!

It’s about 20 minutes since I finished tonight’s all new True Blood Season 4 premiere. When I look at the image above that I chose for this post it feels really busy to me. That’s pretty much how I feel about tonight’s premiere.

I am sure that most of your are familiar with the television show MASH. It’s one of the most popular shows in television history, and I am fairly certain that most of you know that this show was based on a movie. And of course with success comes copying. Of course if MASH can make it big, other shows based on hit movies are a lock to make it big as well. Right?

Thing again.

I am starting a new post theme at Geek Mentality called “These Were Shows?” where I search through YouTube to find clips from television shows that either you don’t remember or you never knew existed. In this first edition I look into the realm of “Movie Adaptations” to discover that the MASH blueprint does not necessarily guarantee a winner.

As you can see from this video, I loved it - and from everything I’ve read and seen a majority of you people loved it to. Then my brother sends me this article this morning:

This guy didn’t seem to like it very much - and I assume he’s barely a fan. But my favorite part is that all the comments (including mine if they add it) are totally against this guy’s opinion, and that - I love.
