Since season finales are airing, it’s time to get those complete season DVD sets announced so viewers can plan to catch up, binge, or rewatch before the September debuts of the new seasons and shows. Warner has announced the following releases of their superhero quartet of series. (Black Lightning was announced last month.) In order of release: Arrow: The Complete Sixth Season Arrow: The Complete Sixth Season will be out August 14. The granddaddy of the pack as the CW’s […]

It’s the time of year when TV networks present their show schedules for the coming year to advertisers (called the “upfronts”), so there’s been lots of news regarding what’s coming back and what’s been cancelled. While iZombie got renewed at the last minute (for what will be its final season), and all of the CW’s DC shows are safe (given their sister company status, not terribly surprising), the DC shows on Fox aren’t doing quite as well. Lucifer, which I […]

We’ve been hearing about the proposed DC digital service since last year, but since it’s going to debut this year, promotion is slowly ramping up. There’s now a name, DC Universe, and more TV show news. DC Universe is a first-of-its kind, immersive digital experience designed just for DC fans. One of the many incredible things your membership will include is unlimited access to the following exclusive original series. That’s followed by these logo cards. We knew the cartoon Young […]

Available starting today on Amazon Prime Video are The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, 13 new episodes inspired by the classic early-60s show from Jay Ward Productions. Now it’s a serialized comedy about two goofball best friends who routinely find themselves thrust into harrowing situations but end up saving the day time and again. As Rocky and Bullwinkle’s innocent and silly ambitions to become rock stars or find lost treasure end up dovetailing with Fearless Leader’s sinister plans to take […]

I probably shouldn’t have used that headline, since the answer to headline questions is usually “no”, but I hope that’s not the case. However, last month, the CW renewed all of their comic book shows — Riverdale (for season 3), Arrow (season 7), Black Lightning (season 2), Legends of Tomorrow (season 4), The Flash (season 5), and Supergirl (season 4) — except for iZombie. The fun procedural is in its fourth season, and it’s doing some weird things, turning Seattle […]

Dear White People, the Netflix show based on the 2014 movie, drops all ten episodes of season two on May 4. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing review episodes, and I couldn’t stop watching this fascinating and addictive show, binging all the episodes today. Justin Simien wrote and directed the movie, and he is executive producer, director, writer and co-showrunner on this as well with Yvette Lee Bowser. As in the first season, most of the episodes center on one […]

I spent the weekend binging the first season of Black Lightning, and I loved it! It’s tough to combine superhero action with cultural commentary, but this CW show makes a valiant attempt, with the added benefit of my new favorite, Thunder (Nafessa Williams), the first black lesbian superhero on TV. Cress Williams anchors the show, whether he’s playing the title powers, the community-leading school principal Jefferson Pierce, or family man coping with his daughters’ discoveries of their abilities and potentially […]
