Read MoreNew network bosses decide to stop production in its tracks
If you're one of the hard-working people trying to create new episodes of "The Cape," then you knew this one was coming. The production order for "The Cape" has been reduced from 13 episodes to 10, according to Deadline.com. Although NBC won't give any indication on the overall fate of "The Cape, ...
Read More'No Ordinary Family' is still this season's leader among genre shows
"Chuck" was able to take a weekly win, but it looks like it may not be paired with "The Cape" for too long. "Chuck" earned a 3.6 rating/6 share last week, according to Fast National overnight ratings from The Nielsen Co. That was slightly better than its lead-out show, "The Cape," which earned a ...
Read MoreMixing costume parties with superheroes and villains only leads to chaos
This article may contain spoilers. It was time for the Carnival of Crime to stir up a bit of trouble. And they did when they derailed Vince Faraday’s (David Lyons) plan to have Dominic Raoul a.k.a. Scales (Vinnie Jones) unmask Peter Fleming (James Frain) as the villain known as Chess during ...
Read MoreTom Wheeler hints that there will be a conclusion regardless of show's future
"The Cape" comes with an interesting premise. It is a series based on a comic book that doesn't exist. Even from such a novel concept, not to mention a genuine flare for creativity when it comes to capturing the comic book tone, the series is sliding in the ratings. Since the show's premiere, ...

"Wonder Woman" hasn't been seen on the small screen since 1979, and last month it looked like it would stay that way after NBC (and other networks) passed on the proposed remake of the comic book property.

Chuck's claim to fame is that it is a great combination of spy thriller and comedy ... unfortunately, this was more a mixed bag of treats and clunkers. This review may contain spoilers. Perhaps it’s because the word has not come down as to whether or not “Chuck” will get another season o ...
Read MoreGenre programs up 17 percent over last year, however
It seems hard to talk about genre ratings without questioning whether or not there will be genre programming on network television in the near future. But even with all the struggles these shows have in attracting audience, there is some staying power. And it seems, collectively, it's only gettin ...
Read MoreCo-creator Chris Fedak seems pretty optimistic
There really never seems to be a time when "Chuck" was not on the bubble. You heard it all the time, and each year seems to be the year to save the NBC show. But probably not this year. Now, barely halfway through the fourth season, the guys in charge are actually optimistic about the series h ...
Read MoreNot every battle is about money and power, sometimes it is just about a cape
This article may contain spoilers. In a funny twist of fate, "Kozmo" focused not on Vince Faraday’s (David Lyons) vendetta against Peter Fleming, a.k.a. Chess (James Frain), but rather in a tug-of-war for the cape itself. Apparently, Faraday is not the only one who sees the full value of su ...
