Fans of the vampire centric Moonlight series on CBS won’t get to follow the adventures of Mick St. John after this year’s season finale. Even with a growing fan base, the budget and sagging ratings forced CBS to not renew the series next year. It’s understood that Eye execs were not impressed with the show’s creative development, and there was much drama and turnover behind the scenes among producers and scribes and tussling between the network and studio over budgetary issues. The final straw was the show’s sagging ratings perf during the past few weeks after its post-strike return. It’s…
With characters and events moving full force on The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon series airing Saturday’s on the Kids’ WB! on the CW, it was only a matter of time before we see the likes of Black Cat and that space goo that eventually turns into Venom appear. The first hints happen this Saturday (May 17, 2008), and the CW has sent Major Spoilers the first few images from the show.
It went down to the wire, but the supernatural drama Reaper got its renewal notice yesterday during the CBS upfront presentation. The more I watch this series, the better it becomes, and I will say Reaper is on its way to becoming the male-centric version of Buffy by the time next season is over. Smart dialog, good acting, great special effects, just the right amount of humor, make this my must watch show of the week. Reaper will return for 13 episodes during the mid-season next year, more than likely appearing on Thursday night opposite Supernatural. And since I’ve mentioned…
Sounds like NBC is ripping the theme of Villains from DC’s Villains Win theme taking place over the next year. But, I’m a sucker for this series, and as long a my TiVo continues to capture the show on time and in HD, I’ll sit down once a month for my Heroes marathon.
It’s not the best copy, but it is a pretty cool theatrical trailer for television viewers. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfEntCLJ-eI[/youtube] It’s still going to be the best movie of the summer.
Earlier this week Major Spoilers mentioned “the Flash” was coming to NBC’s Heroes, now word from TV Guide is the Scarecrow (a.k.a. Bruce Boxleitner of Scarecrow and Ms. King fame) will be joining the show in a super secret recurring role. The article says the role was originally going to be modeled after Sen. John McCain, but those plans have been scrapped. Could Boxleitner’s character be a high profile politician dead set on eliminating the “mutant” threat? via TV Guide
Acclaimed animation writer Kevin Hopps offers his third script of the “The Spectacular Spider-Man” season in “The Uncertainty Principle,” an all-new episode premiering Saturday, May 10 at 10:00 a.m. ET/PT on Kids’ WB!/The CW.

Marvel has released the first official trailer for the upcoming Wolverine and the X-Men animated series.
There’s an all new episode of The Spectacular Spider-Man hitting the airwaves this weekend on the Kids’ WB! on the CW, and it’s Halloween time for the kids of NYC. You better bet Peter Parker is going as his alter ego and fooling everybody. Major Spoilers has a sneak peek of this weekend’s episode called The Uncertainty Principle, after the jump.
Okay, so TV Guide isn’t calling her the Flash, but the site is claiming Brea Grant (last seen on Friday Night Lights) will be speeding her way to the third season of Heroes as “The Speedster”. I doubt that will be the name used on the show (the part has her listed as Joy), but as the heroes move toward an organized group, having a speedster on the team is a smart move. Plus for the slobbering fan boys, she is a girl. via TV Guide
Writer Randy Jandt makes his “The Spectacular Spider-Man” debut with a tight, exciting, frequently funny script that offers Doctor Octopus entrée into the series this Saturday, May 3 in the all-new episode, “Reaction.” The episode, directed by Jennifer Coyle, premieres at 10:00 a.m. ET/PT on Kids’ WB! on The CW. In the episode, the nebbishy Dr. Otto Octavius is painfully transformed – by the meddling hands of the Green Goblin – into the menacing Doctor Octopus. The newest villain to hit town, Doc Ock releases his initial anger on Norman Osborne before turning his attention toward Spider-Man as the pair…
The next time you drop the “I’m too busy” excuse for some undone deed, consider the career of Peter MacNicol. Over the past year, MacNicol could be found pulling the unheard-of simultaneous double duty as a core cast member in two hit primetime television series – “24” and “Numb3rs” – and was still able to devote an afternoon every other week to creating the voice of Dr. Otto Octavius and his villainous flipside, Doctor Octopus (aka Doc Ock), for the breakout animated series, “The Spectacular Spider-Man.” Now THAT’S busy.
Doc Ock is coming to The Spectacular Spider-Man this weekend, and Major Spoilers has your first look!
