QOTD: How was your Thanksgiving? 

The Rifleman!

So this blog is up late because I have been searching for news to write about and I couldn't find any. I kept looking and looking then I found one article that really interested me. There was a TV Show called "The Rifleman" back in the late 50's early 60's. "The Rifleman" was about a Civil War hero Lucas McCain with a specially modified Winchester rifle who is a really good marksman. After the war, Lucas moved to a ranch in North Fork, New Mexico, to raise his son Mark. Once there, he puts his unique talents to use when he helps the local sheriff as a Peace keeper in the town. The famed Harry Potter Director, Chris Columbus, is planned to direct. Will be on CBS as ones the original show. Hoping for good things.


Thats all the news I have for today. Don' forget to leave a comment or respond to the question of the day which is:

Charlie Sheen needs "Anger Management"!

Do you guys remember the Adam Sandler movie with Jack Nicholson, you know Anger Management. Well Charlies Sheen is trying to turn it into a sitcom. He has been pitching a show idea to may different television networks and cable outlets he finally gets it picked up by FX. They are starting out filming 10 episodes and if it passes to FX's standards they will plan for another 90 episodes. I don't know how I feel about it, but I did like the movie.


Another thing is Cinemax is trying to make a Transporter TV show and they are having a few delays. The lead actor, Chris Vance, got injured while filming and was suppose to take about 2-3 weeks to fully heal. But the producers still don't think he is ready since he is still walking with a limp. Filming for the 12 episode season started in June and was suppose to wrap in the beginning of November. Chris Vance won't be reevaluated by the doctors for another 3 weeks. Filming has stopped until he is cleared by the doctors. If all goes well they will continues filming by early 2012 since there is a small amount of filming left to do. And they say there will be very little change to the shows debut.


I'm gonna try something new today to see how it goes. I'm gonna start having a question of the day (QOTD) to promote comments.


QOTD: How do you think the Anger Management Sitcom will turn out with Charlie Sheen?

TV show, hits or flops!

I've been trying to catch up and all the shows I missed this week so I wont be doing reviews today. There has been a lot of TV news that just surfaced in the past week. I'm hoping some of these news shows become a hit and the old stuff keep getting better. Alright, lets get into the news:

• The Sons of Anarchy is set for another season. Hopefully it will be around for more the 5 seasons.
• Fox is in talks about making a Zombieland TV show. In hopes to compete with The Walking Dead on AMC. Suppose to be like The Walking dead, but with some added humor.
• The miniseries Band of Brothers and The Pacific is going to be released as a box set on November 8th. Will come in DVD and Blu-ray.
• Fox is also pushing to do a Punisher TV show. You know the Marvel comics character that has had 3 movies including a remake. The character is getting a whole new makeover. "Frank Castle (aka The Punisher) as a detective with the New York City Police Department who takes to the streets in his off time, in search of justice as the vigilante known as The Punisher."
• Speaking of The Walking Dead, AMC has announced that Season 3 of The Walking Dead is happening. Hopefully it will come out before next October.
• Eddie Murphy has decided not to do a Beverly Hills Cop 4 and just do a Beverly Hills Cop TV show. Eddie will not be lead actor in the series. He will play Chief of Police and his son in the TV show will play the lead role.

That's all the TV news I have for today, feel free to leave a comment.

An Introduction is in order.

It seems that an Introduction is in order. Hello, My name is Joshua Vincent. I'm a college Student from Charlotte, NC. I came up with the idea for this Blog about 2 and a half months ago. I was going to do it as a web show on YouTube, but I don't have the equipment or the space to do what I want with it. So until then I will be on here. It took me a long time to decide what I want to blog about. Then it hit me on Sunday while I was talking to a buddy of mine about future and what I wanted to do. I decided that I wanted Blog about things involving Pop Culture and my opinion/views on it. I wanted to make breaking news that Newspaper talk a few days to print, websites take hours to post, and people never hear about because it never gets to them. I will post to this Blog Monday through Friday on my 5 favorite Pop Culture topics. The Schedule will be as follows:

• Mondays aka Movie Mondays (Movies Based news)
• Tuesdays aka Techy Tuesdays (Technology Based news)
• Wednesday aka Gaming Wednesday (Gaming Based news)
• Thursday aka Tele Thursdays (Television show Based news)
• Fridays aka Music day (Still need a catchy name for that)

So starting tomorrow there will be a Blog posted. Keep and eye out for it and feel free to leave a comment.
