The Master (ninja show)

Facts Of Life

Air Wolfe

There was some show about some kids that gained super powers and went off being heroes... (not the Heroes that was on couple years ago). Can't remember too much about it but on of the kids was a guy that had electricity powers. Couldn't get wet though. It was like the Breakfast Club with super powers.

The Misfits of Science.

It didn't last long, but I did enjoy it while it was on.

No, but they do get a lot of cameos and share a lot of in jokes from the whole Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez film universe. And there are a lot of good looking women in it, along with lots of campy violence. Here is the episode that started this season -

.

It's a bit hard to describe last season, but at the start of this one, the Gecko Brothers have escaped, and are forced to separate, with Ritchie, now a vampire, wanting to marry Satanico(Selma Hayek's character from the film). Seth goes with the preacher's daughter from the movie, who wants to make it back to the Titty Twister to save her brother from the whole vampire cult that is based there.

Selma and Richie are being chased by the rest of the Titty Twister vampires due to a bunch of infighting between rival clans, and they all are also being chased by a young lawman, who's partner was killed at the start of the series.

It's a bit complicated, but it meshes together decently if you can watch the whole series.

Just started Sons of Anarchy. Not sure how I missed it when it came out. So far, it's really good.

Great show... Another great one is "The Shield"...

The Shield - you'll love it.

The difference between The Shield and SOA is that The Shield remained great through seven seasons and had a fantastic conclusion. SOA got ridiculous and had too many huge events that happened that should have resulted in the elimination of characters much sooner in the series. There was no way that some of them could continue to co-exist for years after what transpired.

The Shield / SOA tie in on SOA was awesome though, especially at the end of the series. Even though the end was stupid.

I'm hoping great things for a new series starting Oct 10, on BBCAmerica
it's called "The Last Kingdom" based on the Saxon series books by Bernard Cornwell.

Black Mirror is pretty awesome
Increasingly Poor decisions of Todd Margaret, the first season. The follow up season sucked.

My 2016 round up so far -

11-22-63 with James Franco, based on the Stephen King book, has been my favorite series of 2016. Quality production, and they didn't stretch it out too long -

.

Hap and Leonard turned out to be pretty good, although a bit too sitcomy in spots, but pretty close to the book(s). This channel has all of them up, with a few music related glitches -

videos .

I liked Vinyl, and think it will be a slow grower. One of the shows critics will look back on, and say "hey, that was a good show". I can see why some folks find it uneven, it just isn't super actiony the way that many of the more current HBO series were/are. It's also a music period piece, so you've got to be in the mood for that too.
