The CCD Podcast: Episode 21 - The 2014 Fall TV Preview or 'Comic Books Will Now Also Invade Your TV Sets... Whether You Like It Or Not !!!'

As September creeps by and we make moves towards our favorite (horror filled) month of October it is hard not to notice all of the brand spanking new TV shows hitting the airwaves on networks. This season seems to be mimicking the box office trends, because there are tons of new Comic Book themed properties on the way. Agent Carter, The Flash, Constantine, and Gotham will join Arrow, The Walking Dead & Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on the comic book/superhero front. Jedi Rob, Mike D, and Alicia also talk Hannibal, The Mindy Project, Boardwalk Empire, The New Girl, Sons of Anarchy, Selfie, American Horror Story: Freakshow and a whole lot more... get them DVR's ready, cause there are too many shows to watch live each night!  Please make sure you head over to Itunes so that you can Subscribe, Download, Listen and then SHARE on your favorite Social Networking platform.

'Gotham' Is Coming... Who Is Ready?

'Gotham' is something that I am looking forward too, but I am very wary for. Why you ask? Simple. While it is a great idea (a cop procedural set in the early days of the Batman universe), the show is on Fox. Fox, known as the channel that often kills any genre shows they air (whether they are good or not). So while I think the show can be intriguing, the fact that it is on Fox puts a strike on it for me because even if it is good it will probably get bailed on. Lets hope Fox finally sees that genre shows are huge right now and give this show a fair shot. The trailer for the show is here, and I am intrigued. Most peoples criticism that I have encountered so far is the inclusion of young versions of Riddler, Catwoman, and Penguin... but to me that is one of the cooler aspects of it. And a young Master Bruce... yup, I can get behind that. Anytime Donal Logue is involved in a project I am in. Ben McKenzie looks pretty great as a young Jim Gordon. And a mob boss that is a chick (Jada Pinkett Smith)? Yup, that is bold. The shows tone looks good, and since I am an ultimate Bat-fan I will give it a shot. But with the gauntlet being thrown down by Arrow (it has been great since episode 1 through two full seasons) and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (which started slow but has picked up immensely) Gotham better bring the A game. The show comes on this fall on Fox. Check out the trailer after the jump...
