The Challenger Disaster movie on Science Channel Nov. 16

The Challenger Disaster movie on Science Channel: Science Channel’s first dramatic feature dramatizes the inquiry into the cause of the 1986 space shuttle Challenger explosion through the eyes of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman (William Hurt). Feynman cut through red tape to uncover breakdowns in the governmental, scientific, design and engineering communities that oversaw the space program. The 1986 explosion of space shuttle Challenger and the loss of its crew is one of the indelible moments in American history — a sobering gut-punch to America’s space program and a disillusive lesson that the most complex machine ever built is still […]

NBA national TV schedule 2013-14

NBA national TV schedule 2013-14: Regular-season nationally televised NBA games on TNT, ESPN, ABC, NBA TV and NBA LEAGUE PASS. The word “watchable” gets thrown around a lot in the NBA. More than just a measure of W’s and L’s, the ambiguous term factors in things like star power, off-court storylines, emerging young players and an exciting style of basketball. LeBron James and the Miami Heat are sometimes so good that they become unwatchable. The L.A. Lakers might be even more watchable when they’re bad. And how many times have you heard it said that a young but bad team […]

The Walking Dead wins Spookiest Series in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

The Walking Dead wins the 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Spookiest Series,” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. Even if you put the series’ spot-on commentary about societal ills and human nature aside, Dead creator Robert Kirkman and special effects guru Greg Nicotero’s combined knack for making the living and the undead equally creepy makes this a shoo-in to feed our nightmares week after gloriously gut-wrenching (and gut-splattered) week. Spookiest Series — Winner: The Walking Dead The Walking Dead/AMC 25.8% American Horror Story: Asylum/FX 23.1% Bates Motel/A&E 19.3% True Blood/HBO 18.2% Falling Skies/TNT 13.6% Percentages may not total 100 […]

Mountain Monsters wins the 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Best Paranormal/Monster Series or Special” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. There was nothing mysterious about Mountain Monsters being the hands-down winner in this category, after seeing all the comments we got on our website when we first wrote about the show. Some of you were intrigued by the possibility of unknown Appalachian creatures, others critiqued the show for being unrealistic on many levels. And some of you clearly tuned in for Huckleberry’s beard (see the Best Beard category). Best Paranormal/Monster Series or Special — Winner: Mountain Monsters Mountain Monsters/Destination […]

Huckleberry of Mountain Monsters wins Best Beard in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Huckleberry of Mountain Monsters wins Best Beard in the 2013 Viewers Voice Awards, Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. When it came to the bearded boys, length definitely wasn’t an asset. Instead you found the cleaner, shorter, fuller beard preferable, as Mountain Monsters’ Huckleberry got top votes followed by Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson.

Dance Moms wins Best Mama Drama Series in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Dance Moms wins Best Mama Drama Series in the 2013 Viewers Voice Awards, Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. Oh the drama! And we ain’t talkin’ traditional drama. This is the mama drama category — where we witnessed lots of finger-wagging and tongue-lashing and a whole lot of cattiness. In the end, the backstabbing, drink-throwing, solo-demanding divas of Pittsburgh’s Abby Lee Dance Company earned more mama-drama cred than all the Housewives combined. Bravo, ladies! Best Mama Drama Series — Winner: Dance Moms Dance Moms/Lifetime 36.6% Toddlers & Tiaras/TLC 24.3% Gypsy Sisters/TLC 10.2% The Real Housewives of New Jersey/Bravo 9.8% Pretty Wicked Moms/Lifetime […]

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo wins Best Redneck Series in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo wins Best Redneck Series in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards, in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. This was our closest category yet, but the Thompson/Shannon clan (that would be Alana “Honey Boo Boo Child” Thompson and her McIntyre, Ga., family — Mama June, Sugar Bear, Pumpkin, Chubbs and Chickadee) barely beat out the multi-millionaire Robertson clan for Best Redneck Series. We can’t decide if it was the neck crust or the snot-flying sneezes that gave them the edge. Best Redneck Series — Winner: Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Here Comes Honey Boo Boo/TLC 33.3% Duck […]
