Spring 2013 TV Preview
by Panagiotis Drakopoulos
With the end
of winter, means that spring is here. What better way than previewing
the spring television schedule. A couple of heavy hitters returning,
Dunder Mifflin Paper Company
closing its doors, a bizarre comedy based on a classic manga series,
and a community college in trouble.
A Game of
Thrones aka A Song of Ice and Fire Season 3
With
the season three opener fresh out of the gates, George
R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy series shows no sign of slowing down
(expect in print form). This season will cover the first half of A
Storm of Swords , the third book in the series. Making Sunday night
the real “Must See TV” (Sorry NBC), along with it’s main
competition…
Mad Men
Season 6
…Mad
Men. Yes, Don Draper and company return for the sixth season of the
AMC hit series. From watching the season six teaser trailer, I
notice that this season will focus more on female cast and Don
Draper’s infidelity problems. Probably this season we’ll get to
dive even deeper into the psyche of Mr. Draper.
The Office
Series Finale
After
nine long years, The Office will finally close its doors. Along with
30 Rock, The Office was the central core of Thursday night comedy.
It’ll be sad seeing The Office ending, but it had a great run. The
only dower for the final season is that Steve Carell won’t be
returning as Michael Scott in a cameo or guest role. The final
episode will be airing on May 16th.
DD Hokuto no
Ken aka DD Fist of the North Star
Fist of
the North Star is one of the most important mangas in Japan. So, for
the 30th
anniversary of Fist of the North Star, there’s a special comedy
series based on the manga. The story of DD Fist of the North Star
takes place in the dark future of 199x, where mankind was supposed to
pick up the pieces after nuclear war, but that never happened. This
show follows the characters of Fist of the North Star trying to make
ends-meat in the present day Japan. The “DD” in the title stands
for “Design Deformation”. The show hasn’t been announced for
any streaming sites. So the only way to watch DD is to wait for the
fansubs.
The Uncertain
Future of... Community?
It’s
been a rocky road for the fourth season of the cult hit show
Community. Series creator Dan Harmon was either let go, fired or quit
as showrunner (Thanks Bob Greenblatt). Chevy Chase losing his fucking
mind, causing him to leave the show. NBC pulling the show from the
fall primetime schedule to the winter schedule (Notice the trend).
Ratings for season four falling faster and a boat load of troubles
too long to list here. It doesn’t look like the show will be
renewed for a fifth season, unless a miracle can happen.
