AMC has been doing some big things in the cable realm over the last couple of years. The Mad Men series took off like wildfire, and now it looks like AMC is looking to adapt Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead for the small screen as well.

I’m glad a cable network picked up the rights to this property instead of a movie studio, which really couldn’t do justice to the comic…

Those that listen to the Major Spoilers Podcast, and hang on our every word, know I’m a huge Rockford Files fan. It’s probably one of the best television series to come out of the 70s and early 80s. Variety is reporting that it has asked House creator and executive producer David Shore to revive the series from the bins and update it for a new age of audiences. Garner’s Emmy-winning portrayal of the ex-con private eye who lived in a trailer in Malibu (and usually worked as hard to get his clients to pay up as he did on solving…

Well, duh, we already know Clark Kent is Superman and has been on the Smallville television series for the last 9 years, but one has to remember the Superman costume, and powers like flying have been kept strictly on the down-low to avoid mixing the Smallville universe with the DC in-continuity one. That might all change come Sunday when it MIGHT be announced that Superman’s outfit will make an appearance in the season premiere of season 9 – aptly titled “Superman”. Does this mean we might see Tom Welling take over the film franchise down the road? Another rumor has…
