The Immortal Kevin Fitzpatrick was born and raised in New York City, and that doesn't make sense. Kevin wears many hats, including actor, editor, and writer, but never yellow. The best things in life are Back to the Future, beets, Firefly and The Venture Bros. When not picking apart the minutia of pop culture in film and TV, Kevin can usually be found RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

J.J. Abrams and ‘Fringe’ Producer’s Robot Cop Drama Is Coming to FOX
No, you're not dreaming. Though it might seem these days that J.J. Abrams has a little too much on his plate between directing the next 'Star Wars' and whatever will become of the re-booted 'Star Trek' franchise, the prolific producer is keeping his hands in TV as well. FOX has officially ordered to pilot a futuristic new drama from Abrams and former 'Fringe' producer/showrunner J.H. Wyman, but wi

Marvel’s ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ TV Series: Agent Coulson’s Return Revealed?
Earlier today 'The Avengers' director Joss Whedon spoke about ABC and Marvel's upcoming 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' TV series, specifically how the spectacle of its story would differ from the Marvel films, but one question about the pilot will likely boggle viewers right up until the 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' series premiere. Most importantly, how will Clark Gregg's Agent Phil Coulson headline the series, given the even
Marvel’s ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ TV Series Fast-Tracked at ABC, Will Be More Family-Friendly?
Even with the many buzz-worthy TV premieres and events that await in 2013, perhaps none are so hotly-anticipated as ABC and Marvel's Joss Whedon-directed 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' TV series, currently shooting its pilot episode. Apart from its cast, precious few details surrounding the show are available, but is ABC's fast-tracking of the pilot a good sign of it being picked up? And what demographic is the n

Bryan Singer Producing ‘Twilight Zone’ Reboot?
It has nothing to do with that other 'Twilight,' nor is it merely a series about a scary door, but 'The Twilight Zone' might be ready for a new generation. Sources are saying that acclaimed 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' director Bryan Singer has closed a deal to update the sci-fi/horror classic anthology series for the modern generation (again), likely to land on CBS.

Discovery Cancels ‘American Guns’ After Sandy Hook Massacre
Just days after the terrible tragedy of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, the country, and even the world at large, faces an undeniable need to re-examine the role of gun control on the world stage. As with numerous tragedies in the past, much of the focus shifts to violence in media as depicted across film and television, which today faces one of its first casualties. Discovery has opte
HBO’ Developing ‘Game Change’ Sequel ‘Double Down': Barack Obama Vs. Mitt Romney
The moment Alaska governor Sarah Palin first came to the world stage as John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential elections, we knew that her larger-than-life personality would become the stuff of parody and portrayal from years to come. Once we finished laughing at Tina Fey's dead-on impression, the tone turned serious as HBO's 'Game Change' garnered multiple Emmys with Julianne Moore i
‘Two and a Half Men’ Update: Angus T. Jones Not Quitting
As much as we'd love for the fallout from Angus T. Jones' religious rant against 'Two and Half Men' to continue on indefinitely, sooner or later an impass would have to be reached. Charlie Sheen can continue commenting on his former cast-mate's outburst, but given Jones' apology yesterday, there aren't likely to be many further developments. To that end, the actor is believed to stay at his 'Two
Charlie Sheen Talks Angus T. Jones Again, Calls ‘Men’ “Hive of Opression””
You'd think that with 'Two and a Half Men' star Angus T. Jones' major mea culpa yesterday over the hurtful nature of his religious rants against the series, there wouldn't be all that much more to say on the matter, but ours is a world where Charlie Sheen has tiger blood-fueled thougnts and a microphone at the ready. Indeed, the disgraced 'Men' star is at it again, offering personal thoughts on hi

‘The Walking Dead’ Fans Rejoice! AMC Finally Settles Beef With DISH Network
Finally! We confess that most of us weren't affected in the slightest by DISH's decision to drop AMC over its billion dollar lawsuit, though we were certainly tired of hearing every single AMC promo in existence punctuated by "Not Available On DISH." Seriously, we've had jilted relationships that didn't complain that much. But for now it seems that AMC and DISH's beef has been settled, m
Why Didn’t HBO or NBC Want ‘The Walking Dead’?
In the past, we've heard about networks passing up some great dramas now and again, like when 'Breaking Bad' almost went to FX, before landing on AMC as the Emmy-winning bad-ass drama we all know it to be. But did you know that before AMC scored even bigger with Robert Kirkman's 'The Walking Dead,' HBO and NBC were in the market for the zombie-thriller as well? What made them pass on something tha
