Look who is going to COMIKAZE: It’s CourtneyK!

I’ve been seriously jonesing for another All Things Amazingly Geek experience for months since my first expedition to San Diego Comic Con 2011. No kidding. I think I pounced on a couple of strangers at a Halloween party over the weekend because they were dressed up in the style of Steampunk. I’m not even sure I introduced myself, just launched into a rapid-fire “Oh-my-goodness-you-guys-look-so-great-I-just-love-it-and-look-you-even-have-a-gun-and-goggles-THAT’S-SO-COOL!!” I no longer have to suffer withdrawal, BEHOLD!! http://comikazeexpo.com/ The First EVER COMIKAZE Expo: A Comic,

Fairy Tale Smackdown – Who wins: ONCE UPON A TIME or GRIMM?

When I went to San Diego Comic Con 2011 (FTW!!) this year, I was inundated with posters and cos-players and flashing lights (OH MY!); nestled in with all the every-stuff were blasts about a show. Well, I thought it was ONE show; turns out, it was TWO!!  After seeing poster after poster, and talking about what others had seen I was able to make the distinction; NBC and ABC had the same show concept advertised….ruh roh!! This could get ugly,

CourtneyK and Sasha Pieterse discuss the PRETTY LITTLE LIARS Halloween Special!

Don’t expect cartoon dogs or waiting in the pumpkin patch in this episode! This is a PRETTY LITTLE LIARS Halloween, kiddies! I was privileged enough to be able to interview the Evil Queen of Rosewood herself! (Interviewer’s note: normally I’d be open to, “Hear it for yourself!” but I talk really REALLY  fast and the app I used cut off some of the interview (*grumble grumble*) but thankfully it was partially recorded by my Superhero friend Gloria (THANKS GLO!) and

Quick Take: Courtney K and Amrie are divided on LAST MAN STANDING…mainly because Am will be watching…

Well, Tim Allen is back on TV…. This is going to be quick, hence the Quick Take; I didn’t like Last Man Standing. I have to admit, it was far too close to Home Improvement. Manly Dad, check. Quick Witted Mom, check. Three kids, this time GIRLS! But wait, there’s a Grandbaby! Ok, so there’s no Mysterious Neighbor, but there is a job involving Manly-ness (Sporting Goods). I feel bad, I wanted to like the show because I like Tim

CourtneyK watched AMERICAN HORROR STORY and lived to tell the tale!

Has there ever been a certain house on your block that causes you to walk just a little faster to pass it? The sense of foreboding wafting off the porch, the feeling that the windows are actually looking at you and the house has teeth and the call is coming from inside the house??!?!?!  *ahem* Sorry, I was hearing the ominous screech of violins which always indicates “BE TERRIFIED IMMEDIATELY”. Frankly, every time a promotion for the newest FX show

CourtneyK looks at ABC’s new TGI….W comedy block

Does anyone else remember TGIF? When PERFECT STRANGERS ruled (who DIDN’T do the Dance of Joy??) and FULL HOUSE made us all wish we had 3 live-in uncles to babysit us. Then that golden age went far, far away, ABC focused more on dramas and brain twisters like LOST and reality train wrecks like DANCING WITH THE STARS (sorry, I’m really, really not a fan [Amrie note:  God, me either…]) leaving the light comedies to other networks and cable to

Quick Take: The Return of HAPPY ENDINGS

Last year, a plucky little show debuted with so little fanfare and double entendre that initially had me grimacing. With her infinite wisdom, Amrie (in all CAPS I believe) recommended I give at least one episode. I fell in belly-laughing love. The rest, as they say, is history! Tonight, much to my giggling delight is the season premiere of HAPPY ENDINGS on ABC at 9:30/8:30c, after MODERN FAMILY. The opening sequence is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen,

Quick Take: CourtneyK is falling off the GLEE-wagon

I said I’d give it one more go. I’m trying. I really am. All the elements I love are present: Idina Menzel guest starring, Kurt being super great, Brittany is being stupid, Mercedes being sassy, Artie being adorable, Sue being terrible. However along with the good, comes the very very bad. I admire Lea Michelle and her pipes, but I swear if I have to watch her “pinched-face-collapse acting” through her singing I shall be forced to fast forward through

Quick Take: A second (similar) opinion of CHARLIE’S ANGELS

Within the first 10 minutes of watching ABC’s “new” show, CHARLIE’S ANGELS, one thought streaked through my head like a ticker: “They really should’ve left well enough alone.” When I first heard that CHARLIE’S ANGELS was green-lit for television again, I was excited! I was far too young (cough cough IT’S TRUE) to appreciate the first go-round and I looked forward to being on board with a fantastic new series. I was wrong. Were the original characters from CHARLIE’S ANGELS

Catastrophies and Drama? CourtneyK is sticking with GREY’S ANATOMY

Is there still a major frothing at the mouth fanbase for this show? I’m going to assume that there is, event though the last time GREY’S won an Emmy was…let’s just say awhile. I’ve become a late frother; watching GREY’S in syndication and online has captured me, so I’ve been really eager for the Season 8 premiere which, thankfully, is going to be a 2 hour event! This completely unrealistic look at the inner workings of a major hospital in
