Black Books - A Retrospective

3/17/2014

St Patrick’s Day is one of the biggest drinking days on the calendar, and no show on television has ever combined Ireland and drinking as well as Black Books, the Dylan Moran sitcom that ran for three seasons. Co-written in the first season by Graham Linehan (with the following two written by Moran, Kevin Cecil and Andy Riley), it firmly stakes its claim as one of Ireland’s great contributions to comedy, despite being set in London and Moran being the only Irish person in the cast.

Ugly Betty - A Retrospective

2/9/2014

This show at the time was considered pioneering. Why? Because it centred on an ugly duckling story where a robust but plucky young women navigates the unusual (for her) world of a high-end fashion magazine. I know what you are thinking; “isn’t that offensive?” Actually, no. Not because the television wasn’t constantly about her looks conflicting with the beautiful. 

It was about her personality conflicting with them and how her lifestyle is dramatically altered by the vicious and sometimes realistic world of glossy magazine Mode.

At last count, the Stargate franchise consisted of one theatrical film, two TV films, and three TV series consisting of 17 seasons. And although it all started with Roland Emmerich’s film in 1994, it was Stargate SG:1 that earned its place among the most important science fiction shows of a generation.

Veronica Mars was a relatively short-lived series that first aired in 2004 and lasted three seasons before being summarily cancelled in 2007. Despite high praise and very loyal fanbase, the show left the airwaves, never to be heard of again… That is until last year when creator Rob Thomas and the series’ cast launched a Kickstarter to fund a film project to carry on the story. Setting a $2million goal, the project shattered every record, ending with a final tally of $5,702,153, making it the most successful Kickstarter campaign ever. 

Told you, very loyal fanbase.

In 1993, Haim Saban and Fox Kids introduced a six person team of “teenagers with attitude” known as the Power Rangers. to the world.

It's been twenty years since they stepped out of their infamous costumes, and each member has gone on to create unique and successful careers. They maintain a link to the show that started it all by making appearances at many major and minor conventions.  What have they been up to since handing over their morphers?

By Matthew Battles

Fourteen years ago, an Australian TV show boldly went where few program's had before; through a wormhole and into a distant part of the universe. Exploding into the midst of an all-out space battle, John Crichton - played by Ben Browder - instantly made enemies by accidentally killing the brother of a fleet commander. Chased across the galaxy, Crichton - who's brain has secretly been filled with the dangerous secret of wormhole control - must quickly adapt to this new way of life on the run, taking refuge on Moya, a living ship full of escaped criminals.

Jericho - Retrospective

The good die young, that’s what they always say. Some of the best TV shows that have ever graced our screens only lasted for a short amount of time, even though the stories inside of them could have lasted forever (well, potentially). Jericho happened to be one of those shows. Set in the titular fictional town, Jericho tells a remarkable story about survival, human instinct, relationships, and how far some people will go to protect the ones they love against anybody that puts them in harm’s way.

Firefly - Retrospective

4/5/2013

 
Picture
By Helen Fulton

With its odd but brilliant combination of space and western, Firefly was one of those series with everything you could ask for. It's funny, romantic, adventurous, scary, heart-warming and full of fantasy. I have never met a person who has seen the series and hasn't loved it!
