Sunday Links for September 18

Another week of fun and flights of fancy!  Here are the highlights...


They caught the sleazebag that stole part of a Superman collection from Mike Meyer.  Meyer has gotten his collection back but since this story has broken, his collection has doubled.  He plans on donating the items he has received in order to spread the wealth.  Mr. Meyer, we salute you!

Fox announced that they are developing a pilot for the DC character The Spectre.  I'm not feeling too hopeful, especially since they canceled their last comic property.

With all of the fall premieres starting up, I wrote a plea to TV executives everywhere to not cancel shows too quickly.  Hopefully someone heard me but I'm doubtful....

The DC 52 isn't just reworking storylines, they seem to be reworking their staff too.  This week marked the resignation of John Rozum from Static Shock.

Open letter to TV Executives for the Upcoming Season

Dear TV Executives,


We are almost there. It's the Fall Premiere season. I always get a mix of emotions when this yearly ritual approaches. Excitement, anticipation, fear and sadness really stand out for me.


Excitement and anticipation make sense. I am anticipating the great new shows, and I am excited to see familiar faces of current shows. Who doesn't get excited for this?


However, with the happy fun of the premiere season, I also get fear and sadness. This is because I'm afraid to fall in love with a show. I have a strong fear because of that "show love," I'll be devastated that a show I love will get canceled way too early. Don't tell me I'm irrational because it happens every year.

Thanks for keeping Chuck around!

Every year, you study the numbers and decide the fate of countless shows. Now, I understand that this is your job and some shows just won't make it. It's life at its harshest but we just have to deal. However, I think you judge too quickly.


Now, please don't think that I only wrote this to make you feel bad or mad or sad or another *ad that I forgot. I do want to thank you as well, for all of the times you do think of the fans. For every chance of closure you let us have. But this kindness only makes the cancellations harder.


Some shows, while critically acclaimed, get canceled on the spot just for lack of viewers. This is after 1-3 episodes! Perhaps you failed in promoting these shows. All of these tv critics can't be wrong.

Remember me?  Maybe not because I was only around for 2 episodes!

Please, give the fans a chance to show you that they care. Keep in mind that Nielsen doesn't represent most of the country. I cast my vote online, by watching shows on Hulu or studio websites, by talking about shows in forums, and by following shows on facebook and twitter. Please give your writers, producers and actors a chance to prove themselves to us fans and, please be careful with my heart.


Unendingly your biggest fan & foe,
Wilderowens

Sunday Links for August 14

This past week, Nancy Wake passed away. She was one of the top resistance fighters in WWII and a true hero. Nancy Wake was a strong and proud woman that we all aspire to be. Make sure you read about her amazing heroics.

Marvel is halting production on some graphic novel titles. See the list for the ones you may want to pick up asap.  I'm thinking it may be time for me to finally read Runaways.  Are you getting any?

It's time to start getting ready for the fall premieres! TVLine has a handy dandy calendar of the September premieres.  Start planning your fall!  What show are you looking forward to the most?

In reboot news, there is a chance of a Munsters reboot. Bryan Fuller, of Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies fame, is trying to bring a darker, edgier version to our TVs. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but if it's anything like Fuller's other work, it will be critically acclaimed and canceled way too soon.

Finally, iFanboy's Mike Romo muses on how the world would really handle having a Superhero. My guess: not well.
