Couch Madness Final Round: ‘Bound’

In honor of what should have been NCAA tournament season, Give Me My Remote is running our own kind of bracket, pitting similarly titled episodes against each other: Couch Madness! (Credit for the excellent name goes fellow reporter Chris Hayner.)

The seeding is simple: rather than quality, we’re going by air date (with the oldest episode getting the #1 slot and the newest getting #8). With Peak TV, this will not include every single show that has used this title; rather, we picked a selection from what was available.

It’s now up for the final round, which will run from Monday, April 6 through Friday, April 10.

The final title in this last match-up? “Bound.” Keep reading for the bracket, episode descriptions (from IMDB), and the poll. (For the other episodes competing, check out all the brackets here!) Read more

SLEEPY HOLLOW: John Noble Previews the ‘Astonishingly Good’ Season Finale

It’s only appropriate that after a season of absolute insanity, SLEEPY HOLLOW would conclude with an absolutely crazy-good season finale…and it does. At the risk of sounding like I’m overselling it, this is absolutely something you’re going to want to watch tonight and not have spoiled for you.

But in the meantime, we still have a little bit of time before the SLEEPY HOLLOW finale airs. So to get a proper tease of what’s going down, I spoke with John Noble (Henry) about his time on the show so far, the very big season finale, and more…

Top 13 TV Episodes of 2013

It’s no secret I watch a lot of TV. Heck, I watch more TV than I should probably ever admit. But there is a lot, lot, lot of good stuff on television — and now, increasingly, through other mediums like Netflix, Amazon, etc. It’s a good time to love quality programming.

As we approach the end of the year, I wanted to note a few of the shows that stood out to me over the past 12 months. First up, we have the top episodes. For me, they were the most enjoyable as a television fan. You may agree with some, all, or none. You may be like me and have your top episodes change 20 times. (Only a slight exaggeration, but I easily could have singled out 25 great episodes this season. Or 50.)

So, these are the 13 hours of television that stuck out to me the most this past year, in alphabetical order of series…

(And yes, I’ll have a top shows post coming up shortly.)

ALMOST HUMAN: J.H. Wyman on Taking a Hopeful Look at the Future

ALMOST HUMAN premieres tonight, and the series takes us 35 years in the future — crime has skyrocketed, and to help combat it, humans have mandatory orders to work with android partners.

And yet, ALMOST HUMAN creator J.H. Wyman (who also showran FRINGE for multiple seasons) is hopeful about the future.

When I spoke with Wyman about his new show, I was curious about his thoughts about what set it apart from the other procedurals or pieces of futuristic fiction out there…and he had a very thoughtful answer for me:

J.J. Abrams on What Sets ALMOST HUMAN Apart from the Other Bad Robot Shows

J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot production company has been behind some of the best (and nerdiest) shows of the past decade and a half (FELICITY, ALIAS, LOST, FRINGE are a few of the former shows, while PERSON OF INTEREST and REVOLUTION are currently on the air), and on Sunday, November 17th, Fox will debut the Bad Robot latest show: ALMOST HUMAN, a futuristic cop drama created by former FRINGE boss Joel Wyman.

Given the wide array of shows Bad Robot has produced, I asked Abrams during a conference call to promote ALMOST HUMAN what he felt set this show apart from all the other ones he’s had a hand in before.

SLEEPY HOLLOW: John Noble Previews His New Character, Henry Parrish

Since FRINGE went off the air earlier this year, John Noble has been largely MIA from our television screens (aside from a brief THE GOOD WIFE guest spot), but that will soon change: his first SLEEPY HOLLOW episode airs this Monday!

“I remember talking talking with [SLEEPY HOLLOW/FRINGE co-creators] Alex [Kurtzman] and Roberto [Orci] about [SLEEPY HOLLOW] last year: they came up [to Vancouver] for the 100th episode party for FRINGE,” Noble told reporters on a conference call earlier today. “And they actually said to me, ‘Would you come and do a guest role in the pilot?’ And we talked it through, but nothing happened. But as a result, I had an interest in the show and that they were doing it…[and when it came time for this role] I got a call through my management first, and then Alex contacted me, and we took it from there.”

In Monday’s episode, “The Sin Eater,” Noble’s character, Henry Parrish — who will appear in four episodes in the show’s first season and Noble said he expects to back for “quite a lot” of the already-ordered second season — enters the SLEEPY HOLLOW world reluctantly.

SLEEPY HOLLOW: Orlando Jones on the Insanity to Come, John Noble, and What it Might Take for Irving to Believe Ichabod’s Tale

There’s a lot of crazy things going down on SLEEPY HOLLOW…and as our luck would have it, things might be getting even more insane.

SLEEPY HOLLOW: FRINGE’s John Noble to Recur

Is it too early to call this the guest casting of the season? Fox has announced that former FRINGE star John Noble has landed a recurring role on the freshman drama SLEEPY HOLLOW.

According to the network, Noble will play Henry Parrish, “a kind and reclusive man who possesses supernatural powers that have the potential to help the series’ protagonist, Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison).”

The role marks a reunion between Noble and SLEEPY HOLLOW/FRINGE co-creators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

I mean, is this the best news or what?!

SLEEPY HOLLOW airs Mondays at 9 PM on Fox.

ALMOST HUMAN: J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman on Finding the Right Balance for Mythology Versus Procedural Elements

When you see the names of former FRINGE showrunner J.H. Wyman and J.J. Abrams (the man behind ALIAS, FRINGE, and LOST…not to mention the director of the recent STAR TREK reboots and the upcoming STAR WARS sequels) associated with the new Fox series, ALMOST HUMAN (a crime-drama set 35 years in the future where human cops are partnered with human-like androids), it’s easy to assume the series will be another FRINGE-like drama that draws heavily on serialized storylines.

But when both men sat down with reporters earlier this week at Abrams’ Bad Robot production offices, they reiterated that this show isn’t quite as similar to FRINGE as you might think.
