March 19, 2012April 18, 2021 John Hansen Horror TV

Did Shane want to die on ‘The Walking Dead?’ (TV commentary)

March 12, 2012April 18, 2021 John Hansen Horror TV

Maybe it’s because I’m in the midst of some serious “Angel” geekery with my “Rewatching the classics” project, but the Shane-Rick showdown in last night’s “The Walking Dead” (8 p.m. Central Sundays on AMC) reminded me of […]

Midseason TV preview: The momentum continues? (Commentary)

January 3, 2012April 17, 2021 John Hansen Horror TV

Fall 2011 served up so many good shows, and so few of them have been canceled, that it’s easy to overlook the midseason premieres. Yet the networks have found a few open slots. I have […]

Best TV decision in recent memory: ‘American Horror Story’ to start new yarn in Season 2 (Commentary)

December 29, 2011April 16, 2021 John Hansen American Horror Story

I loved “American Horror Story” when it first started out, then kind of cooled on it toward the end of the season. It didn’t become flat-out bad, but it wasn’t as scary and surprising as when it […]

A&E doing a beautiful adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘Bag of Bones’ (TV review)

December 12, 2011April 17, 2021 John Hansen Books

“Bag of Bones” (1998) is one of my favorite Stephen King books, so it’s refreshing to see A&E doing a beautiful job adapting it. (Part one was on Sunday, and the final two-hour installment will be […]

November 21, 2011April 16, 2021 John Hansen American Horror Story

Oh my god, they killed Otis! (and thoughts on falls to the dark side) (TV and movie commentary)

November 2, 2011April 16, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Kind of a jerk move by Shane to kill Otis on Sunday’s episode of “The Walking Dead” (8 p.m. Central Sundays on AMC), huh? But also a shocking and fascinating one, and something that could set up […]

First episode impressions: ‘Grimm’ (TV review)

October 31, 2011April 19, 2021 John Hansen Horror TV

Just like a musician doesn’t have to pay for the rights to record a song written before 1922, I assume a similar law holds true for “Grimm” (8 p.m. Central Fridays on NBC) and its use of […]
