FFS, TV companies – learn to spell!

5 March 2012 Rob Buckley 7 Comments

So I’m watching an episode of The Almighty Johnsons on SyFy last week, when what pops up at the end:

The Almighty Johnsons Epsiode

Do you want a sneak peek of next week’s ‘epsiode’ (sic)? No, me neither.

Anyway, I assume that’s a one-off. But I’m watching Kung Fu on CBS Action not half an hour later and what do I see?

Kung Fu Episdoe

Yes, there’s going to be a new ‘episdode’ (sic) tonight.

Episode: it’s not a hard word to spell. It’s the kind of word that you’d think TV networks would have to be able to spell correctly on frequent occasions, it being quite vital to their business. So why can’t they spell it correctly?

Monday’s “10 minutes of John Carter, a new Robocop, Julia Stiles’ pilot + Awake starts slow” news

Nathan Fillion and Michael Rosenbaum on The Daly Show

2 March 2012 Rob Buckley 4 Comments

Nathan Fillion is Green Lantern

As you might recall from earlier this week, Nathan Fillion (star of Castle, Firefly and, of course, PG Porn) is the voice of Green Lantern in the DC animated series and movies. Tim Daly is the voice of Superman in the animated series. So it was only natural for them to get together for Daly’s The Daly Show. But this time, he’s there to help Daly get over a problem – he can’t stop being Superman.

And then Michael Rosenbaum who voices The Flash turns up…

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable and doesn’t obviously infringe copyright, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Tuesday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.

You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Tuesday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.

Each month, I’ll name the best picture provider and best captioneer, and then at the end of the year, the overall champion will be announced for 2012!
