Giant Robots Go To Robo-Boot Camp... And You Are There!

But there are other highlights, including some surprisingly great cartoons, a documentary chock full of space porn, and new episodes of Doctor Who and Charlie Jade. Click through for listings (with minor spoilers). More »

Neo-Noir Alternate-Reality Detective Show Charlie Jade Comes To The U.S.

Even in the midst of the summer lull, there are a few TV programs that are well worth checking out — and which could actually change your life. The Sci Fi Channel is finally showing Charlie Jade, the Blade Runner-esque show about evil corporations and alternate universes. There's a new documentary series about how NASA converted a missile into a quick-and-dirty spaceship. And you can find out which would be worse for Earth: a meteor strike, or a comet shower. And there are new eps of Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Spectacular Spider-Man, Ben 10 and Transformers: Animated. Details, and minor spoilers, below. More »

Speed Racer's Son Meets A Robot Chimp

If you had a robot butler scheduling your TV viewing (and maybe showing programs on a Teletubbies-style belly screen) he would have an upbeat lilt in his synth-voice when describing this week's TV options. There are actually some worthwhile items, on days other than Thursday and Friday. For instance, might we suggest mutant ghetto rats and robot apes (not actually appearing in the same show)? Plus, Darth Vader wants to cheat you out of all your money. (Daddy needs a new Death Star!) Oh, and there are new episodes of Lost, Smallville, Doctor Who, Sarah Jane, Ben 10, Transformers, Spider-Man and Battlestar. Listings (with minor spoilers) below. More »
