So what the hell is up with The Walking Dead? The last three episodes of this new season is seriously lackluster material.  OK, we get it, Rick and the gang have joined forces to fight off Negan, but so far, we've been pretty much given three episodes of the same crap... shooting, running, more shooting, some biting, running, then more shooting and more biting.

I mean COME ON, Negan stood right out there on his little patio to taunt Rick in the first episode and no sharp shooter or a single person with a gun took a shot at him while he stood there. Really?

And then, there was the shooting, running and biting that has gone on for three episodes.

And seriously, all of a sudden Jesus gets all high and mighty and changes the plans to kill Saviors and now captures them???

Yes, this season of The Walking Dead is about to lose me.

Warning, NETFLIX Email scam

Keep your eyes peeled, there's an e-mail scam going around saying your Netflix account is getting cancelled, and click the link to keep it active.

Buuut, if you actually follow the link and provide all the necessary information to "keep your account active," you've just done is given your personal and credit information to some POS's on the other end.

REMEMBER, if you get an email that makes you worry, close/delete that email and go log in via an independent, new web session or call the service. Just saying.

HGTV is hitting us up with yet ONE MORE Fixer Upper type of show called Restoring Idaho. But they take the easy way out and work on houses around the Boise region. It will be a six episode series.

Look for it, March of 2018.  Or not.

-

Syfy's next Channel Zero season will be called Butchers Block and will air in early 2018. (Yep, yet another vague premiere date set in gooey stone.) I may have missed the second season because my DISH network DVR is barfing up and skipping crap I set it up to record. Frak!

-

The CW is developing a paranormal themed series called Project 13, a show about a daughter/father team of paranormal investigators, but the catch is that the daughter is developing certain psychic skills and her dad is a solid skeptic.

-

Justin Timberlake is going to perform for the Super Bowl halftime show in February!

-

Sara Ramirez, formerly of Grey's Anatomy, is joining the cast of Madam Secretary as a series regular.

CANCELLED or Sad News For...



HBO is dropping their Game Change miniseries. It was based on a book about the 2016 presidential election but one of the co-authors, Mark Halperin, is under fire for sexual abuse charges, sooo, HBO said see ya, we don't need your noise when we still have a short season of Game of Thrones coming up sometime next season!

-

Netflix has dropped the hot rock, House of Cards, because of the pile up of accusations against Kevin Spacey, stemming from 1986 and up until present day or so. It's amazing how far up a pedestal we place people, all based on their pretend acting facade, only to be let down like a sack of hot potatoes when some real news comes out of nowhere and dethrones them.

-

Playing House was cancelled by USA. So no fourth season.

--

Zoo has finally been cancelled by CBS, after it seriously not only jumped the shark with this latest season, but I think they skipped over the entire ocean!
