Video: Sneak Peek At Glee!

The American television schedule is a curious thing. When a show starts showing in Autumn, there’s usually a break about mdiway through the season and then it returns in the Spring.

We just count ourselves lucky that we’re in the UK; we might have to wait a little longer for US imports but at least we didn’t have to go for months without any Glee action! UK viewers get Glee in a lovely big chunk whereas those suckers have been waiting like chumps for the rest of the episodes.

Due to the break in the schedule, there’s a sneak peek video that shows what’s coming up in the rest of the season and it looks delicious. Don’t want to be spoiled? Then bugger off, because this if for fans who just can’t wait!

What Would Have Been: Spaced US

I think it’s safe to say that team OTB died a bit inside the day it was announced that there would be an American remake of our beloved Spaced.

We were even more disheartened to hear that McG would be directing it. He’s not good enough to clean Edgar Wright’s shoes let along remake his cult hit show.

But today morbid curiosity won out and we watched in horror as Sara Rue and Josh Lawson took on the roles created by Jessica Hynes and Simon Pegg.

Obviously lacking the flair that the original series had, it’s also missing originality. The scene below is almost word for word recreation of the UK pilot. So, what the hell was the point?

We are so glad that the footage, found by Heyuguysblog, was from a pilot made back in 2008 and that this mess was never given a full season. Watch it and be thankful.

New Trailer For The Pacific

Thanks to the folks over at Sky Movies HD, we can show you the shiny new trailer for Steven Spielberg and Tom Hank’s new mini-series, The Pacific.

The World War II epic will follows three soldiers from their first encounter with the Japanese at Guadalcanal all the way up to bittersweet V-J celebrations. Leckie, Sledge and Basilone are the soldiers struggling to survive the horrors of war along with the rest of the marines.

The series isn’t exactly a sequel to Spielberg’s triumph Band of Brothers but could be considered a companion piece. The Pacific cost almost double what Brothers did with the bill coming in at around $200 million. Pretty hefty for a short series, let’s hope it wasn’t wasted.

Check out the new trailer and tell us what you think.

Video: So You Think You Can Dance

Unlike most British men, I am painfully aware of the fact that I can’t dance, but the same can not be said of the four hopefuls who will contest this Saturday’s So You Think You Can Dance final.

Here’s a quick reminder of what happened last week…

Video: Alex Reid Talks About His CCB Victory

Jug-headed people’s champion Alex Reid has again surpassed himself by becoming the new face of Alton Towers. Not content with his Celebrity Big Brother win, the cube-jawed prize fighter has exceeded all expectations by advertising its new rollercoaster, TH13TEEN.

“I’m Alex Reid, the ultimate fighter”. Is this the same Alex Reid who lost his last six fights and whose last opponent was the soft-faced ex-boyband wuss Dane Bowers?

Cue some tenuous links to the rollercoaster behind him: “My time in the house was challenging…and if you want to do anything you can do it. It’s going to be challenging, just like this ride”. If only life’s tribulations were as hard as sitting down for five minutes watching the world pass in a blur.

“I didn’t get where I was today by taking it easy” he mumbled. That’s correct. You got where you were now by shacking up with human-bobble head Jordan, dressing up like a woman for the tabloids, bashing Dane Bowers and winning the world’s most tedious CCTV challenge. Aspring youth - here is your role model.

Video: New Legend Of The Seeker

The Legend of The Seeker is back with a new series and after taking a few weeks to warm to the first helping, we can’t wait for another dose of sci-fi action from the Westlands (just make sure you steer clear of the Midlands).

Just to whet our appetites ahead of next weeks first episode, the producers let us have this excellent video of two beautiful women scrapping in the bath. Everyone’s a winner!

The Legend of the Seeker Series 2 starts 8pm on Monday 15th February.

V Remake Video: Exclusive Preview

When Elizabeth Mitchell left Lost, fans were outraged.

“She’d better have a good reason for leaving,” they grumbled.

Well, from the looks of this exclusive peek into Sci Fi’s much-lauded remake of 80s sci-fi classic V, she did.

Mitchell plays Erica Evans, an FBI agent who’s suspicious of the Visitors who have come to Earth spreading what seems to be a message of love, peace and very very attractive people.

We’ve already seen the first episode, and if you love your sci-fi, you’re going to be hooked.

You can also catch the first four minutes of the first episode on Sci Fi’s own website here.

Misfits Trailer

It’s fair to say that when it comes to troubled whippersnappers, Channel 4 knows good drama.

Skins, As If, Hollyoaks may have blazed the teenage trail until now, but we caught sight of an intriguing, darkly funny and excellently acted new show at E4’s Autumn Launch.

And now we have the shiny shiny trailer to share with you lovely people too.

In short, it follows a group of ASBO-licious yoofs as they go about their community service. And then they get struck my lightning. Which grants them superpowers.

Bonkers, maybe, but when it looks this good, who’s complaining?

Modern Family Trailer

On October 15, brand new comedy sitcom MODERN FAMILY will find its home on Sky1 HD and Sky1. From the Emmy® award-winning writers of Frasier, the mockumentary style series centres around three very different American family units who are being followed by a film crew. It quickly becomes apparent that they are anything but the husband + wife + 2.4 children.

The pilot episode has already garnered considerable critical acclaim in the US: USA Today called it “smart, funny and well-cast”, Variety named it “one of the best comedy pilots in a long time” and Time Magazine found it “the funniest new family comedy of the year…very, very funny”. Plus, it has already attracted a big name guest star in the shape of Edward Norton, who will play a band bassist in an episode later in the year.

Modern Family starts on October 15th at 8pm on Sky One and continues every Thursday hereafter.
