On this Thursday’s Parks and Recreation, Patton Oswalt plays a Pawnee resident who filibusters a city counsel vote. Producers asked him to ramble for about eight minutes of footage on whatever subject he wanted. He choose Star Wars and the producers decided to release the unedited footage ahead of this week’s episode. It’s called a [...]

I kind of forgot that NBC was moving forward with ‘Hannibal’. There’s been neery a peep of information about it since it was first announced with under-appreciated TV genius Bryan Fuller at the helm and a great cast in place with Hugh Dancy as FBI profiler Will Graham, Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, as [...]
A Hunger Games parody to start the new season? Hellz yeah. Community Season 4 premieres Thursday February 7th at 8PM on NBC. [via filmthrasher]
Chew on this: it’s been more than ten years (10!) since NBC abruptly cancelled the beloved 1999 dramedy ‘Freaks and Geeks‘ by creators Paul Feig and Judd Apatow.

The cast got together to film a humorous promo essentially sticking their middle fingers in the air towards NBC for that decision and [...]
I was really disappointed that NBC decided to not go ahead with their planned ‘Munsters’ reboot by Bryan Fuller, but I’m okay with the decision since the network will at least air the pilot as a TV special on Oct. 26. After watching this quick promo, it seems like a good decision. Fuller can do [...]
The central conceit of NBC’s Revolution is that electricity and electronic circuits stop working. Society collapses, militias are formed, and in the future pretty blonds who can wield a bow and arrow will save the United States. Foreign Policy imagines what would happen if such an event occurs in real life, through the prism of [...]
GQ Magazine sat down with just about everyone and anyone who helped make Cheers to ask them the secret to creating one of TV’s funniest and most endearing sitcoms of all-time.
Will Leitch takes the sane approach: There’s a good argument to be made that networks and corporations should pay utmost heed to what their diehard customers want, rather than just be blandly generalist. If you make your most loyal customers happy, they’ll stick with you during down periods, providing you a solid customer base. But [...]
