The Goldbergs Season 4 Premiere Info

One of the best comedies on television is about to return for its 4th Season, and ABC is preparing us to delve right back into the colourful history of 1980-something. ‘The Goldbergs’ Season 4 premiere entitled: Breakfast Club will pay homage to the movie of the same name, continuing ‘The Goldbergs’ tradition of celebrating the great cinema of the 80’s in their trademark hilarious and heartfelt fashion.

Adam works on his new persona for the first day of high school that he hopes will up his coolness level. Meanwhile, Beverly gets her teaching certification to become a substitute teacher. But when she is demoted to sub-janitor, she sends the Goldberg kids to a Saturday detention, but it is Principal Ball who must oversee the kids. Later, Murray arrives and takes over where he gives an important lesson.

The premiere looks set to kickstart some running storylines through the season, as we get to see Adam cope with High School, and everyone cope with Beverly becoming a teacher. ABC also released a myriad of new pictures from the episode, giving us an idea of the ‘Breakfast Club’ persona each character will undertake.

In addition to all of this, ABC also released a mock Music Video for the song ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ which is famous for being played during the opening and closing credits of ‘The Breakfast Club’. It seems they’re going all out with this episode, and it could be one of the best tributes yet.

Agents Of SHIELD: Season 4 Premiere Pictures And Info

We are less than two weeks away now until the Season 4 premiere of ‘Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD’ and in lieu of an actual trailer, ABC has begun releasing a steady stream of information. The latest is the official press release and pictures for the episode, which reveal some interesting tidbits of information.

In light of the Sokovia Accords, and with Hydra obliterated, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been legitimatized again and no longer needs to operate in the shadows. Since the world presumes that Coulson is dead, the organization needed a new Director to be the face of the organization. Coulson finds himself back in the role as an agent and teamed with Mack, and together they are tasked with tracking down and confirming the presence of Enhanced people, aka Inhumans. Agent May is tasked with training specialist strike teams, and Fitz and Simmons have taken a big step forward in their relationship.

In the season premiere episode, “The Ghost,” Ghost Rider is coming, and S.H.I.E.L.D will never be the same.

Guest starring are Natalia Cordova-Buckley as Elena “Yo-Yo” Rodriguez, Gabriel Luna as Robbie Reyes, Mallory Jansen as Aida, Lorenzo James Henrie as Gabe, Briana Venskus as Agent Piper, Max Osinski as Agent Red, Ricardo Walker as Agent Prince.

As well as confirming that Ghost Rider will be appearing in the first episode, the Guest Star list notes some interesting new and returning players. It’s great to know Natalia Cordova Buckley will return as ‘Yo-Yo’ hopefully with an expanded role, whilst some of the Agents listed have appeared before, and hopefully point to the show expanding on existing characters. We also have confirmation that Mallory Jansen as ‘Aida’ will be appearing early on, whilst Lorenzo Henrie (Fear The Walking Dead) is set to appear as Robbie’s brother ‘Gabe’, signalling the family dynamic Marvel is so excited about with this character will be there from the off.

ABC also released several promo images from the episode featuring Ming Na Wen as ‘Agent May’, Henry Simmons as ‘Alphonso Mackenzie’, Gabriel Luna as ‘Robbie Reyes’ and John Hannah returning as ‘Doctor Radcliffe’. This last one is the most interesting as he isn’t listed under the guest stars. Is it possible he’ll be bumped up to series regular this season? Given how brilliant the character is, I certainly hope so.

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Season 4: First Look At Ghost Rider

With the Season 4 premiere for ‘Agents of SHIELD’ mere weeks away now, it seems ABC is picking up the pace in promoting it. Entertainment Weekly today revealed the first look at Gabriel Luna (Matador) as Robbie Reyes, a.k.a Ghost Rider.

Though the picture doesn’t give us a full reveal as to what Luna will look like as Ghost Rider, Executive Producer Jed Whedon stated how the character would be adapted from his decidedly minimal source material.

“As always, we are going to put our own spin on the character. We are staying true to the comics in the places where we feel like it’s really important — we love the character’s family dynamic and the East L.A. kid in him.”

Given the majority of audiences won’t be familiar with this version of Ghost Rider, it will be interesting to see what liberties the writers take with the character. Now that the show has been moved to a later 10pm timeslot, there’s much more scope to do some darker things, and this character is a perfect fit.

‘Agents of Shield’ Season 4 premieres Tuesday, 20th September at 10pm on ABC.

‘Agents Of SHIELD’ Season 4 Premiere Title Revealed

In the absence of a trailer from the fast approaching season of ‘Agents of SHIELD’, fans are currently clinging onto any information we get. And today we got something good indeed.

According to Spoiler TV, it has been revealed that the title for Episode One is ‘The Ghost’. Given what we know about the upcoming Season, this is an exciting development indeed. It has already been announced that Gabriel Luna is set to arrive on the show in a blaze of fire as Ghost Rider, and now we have a pretty substantial clue as to just when this arrival will take place.

Of course this episode title isn’t ironclad confirmation that Ghost Rider will feature heavily in the season-opener. Indeed the group could be tracking someone down simply codenamed ‘The Ghost’ before a full reveal at the end of the episode. Given how TV shows like to tease us, this isn’t exactly unlikely.

Given the reaction to this sliver of information we can only hope that ABC satisfies our hunger for news with the release of a full trailer soon. Season 4 is just over two weeks away from airing, and ABC have been annoyingly quiet in promoting it. This could be the last chance ‘Agents of SHIELD’ gets unless it gains a significant audience, so I urge anyone not watching to do so. Season 3 was consistently amazing, and across a 22 episode season that’s no easy feat.

‘Agents of SHIELD’ Season 4 premieres Tuesday, September 20 at 10pm on ABC. Air dates internationally often vary greatly.

Greg Berlanti Developing ‘Black Lightning’ TV Series

It seems the Superhero TV news just doesn’t wanna stop this week, as Deadline reports that Greg Berlanti is working on yet another DC superhero series, alongside Mara Brock Akil (The Game, Being Mary Jane) and her husband Salim Akil. The description for the hero is as follows:

“Black Lightning centres on Jefferson Pierce. He made his choice: he hung up the suit and his secret identity years ago, but with a daughter hell-bent on justice and a star student being recruited by a local gang, he’ll be pulled back into the fight as the wanted vigilante and DC legend — Black Lightning.”

Created in 1977 by Tony Isabella with Trevor Von Eeden, Black Lightning was one of DC’s first major African-American superheroes. The series is currently being pitched to networks, with the Akil’s set to write and executive produce the project together with Berlanti and his production partner Sarah Schechter.

Given all Berlanti’s other DC projects have been picked up by The CW it would be surprising to see this taken elsewhere, however given the sheer number of comic book shows on the network it’s not a certainty that this one would join the group.

Some of Berlanti’s other efforts air on different networks, such as Blindspot on NBC, and he has several series in development for ABC. Clearly then he’s a busy man, but if ‘Black Lightning’ manages to get picked up and holds a quality akin to that of ‘The Flash’, we could be looking at receiving another very popular TV show next year.

Marvel Developing ‘New Warriors’ Comedy Series Focused On…Squirrel Girl?

That’s right folks, it seems like Marvel’s looking to add to its dominance of everything by introducing another TV show to the mix.

As initially reported by TV Line, Marvel and ABC Studios are currently developing the show, with it “being shopped around to cable and streaming outlets”. Of course nothing has been officially confirmed by Marvel at this point, however given we know they’ve had several projects in the pipeline for a while now, coupled with the recent surge in interest regarding the character of Squirrel Girl, the reports seem highly likely.

Now the New Warriors themselves have always been a more obscure group of characters. Consisting mainly of teenage and young adult heroes; serving as a younger counterpart to the Avengers, the group haven’t had much success in comic book form. Indeed, the most notable appearance for the group was when they sparked Marvel’s Civil War event, an action that killed most of them off in the process.

Given their rocky history, it seems Marvel is looking to put the emphasis on a central character within the team, and in another outlandish move they’ve chosen this character to be Squirrel Girl. As obscure as the character sounds, high profile name Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect) has shown interest in playing the character. Speaking to Net-A-Porter she said:

“My brother sent me a Squirrel Girl comic because he thinks I should. I don’t know what Squirrel Girl does other than be half squirrel, but I could be half squirrel!”

Even ‘Captain America: Civil War’ directors Joe and Anthony Russo said this would be brilliant casting, but given Kendrick has mainly stuck to big screen appearances so far, it’s unclear whether she’d make the transition to TV.

If this rumour turns out to be true, then the series will join a whole heap of Marvel TV shows in the works, including ‘Cloak and Dagger’, ‘The Runaways’, ‘The Defenders’ and ‘The Punisher’. It’s an exciting time indeed to be a Marvel fan.

Grey’s Anatomy Is Back To Basics

Grey’s Anatomy will return on ABC on Thursday the 22nd of September.

I have learned that this season, it’s 13th, will focus on the remaining original cast members: Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers). How much has changed in 12 years that there are only 4 original cast members left out of the 9 who started. Best not to dwell on that and look forward with some good news. They have all signed new contracts so we are bound to see more of them.

So a very small recap with some interesting stuff that I have learned about what is in store for us this season. Last season ended with some pretty intense stuff and it seems that we will pick up right where we left them.

Karev will have to deal with his altercation with Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti) and the aftermath of that over a misunderstanding with his on-and-off girlfriend Jo Wilson (Camilla Luddington). Will Wilson finally tell Karev the truth or will she keep it to herself with all the consequences that entails.

How will the love triangle between Meredith Grey, Nathan Riggs (Martin Henderson) and Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary) evolve if at all. Last we know both Grey and Pierce have feelings for Riggs. Pierce told Grey that she had feelings for him after Grey slept with Riggs. A chick fight waiting to happen or will Grey take a step back in favor for her sister. And than we have Riggs off course, what will he do. Will he give up Grey or will he fight for her?

And who could forget the wedding at the end of season 12 between Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) and Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd). Will they, won’t they. They did eventually. Off course the dynamics in the Grey’s household will change now that Shepherd is finally married to Hunt. Although it has been said that Shepherd will still help Grey raising her kids. How exactly, I don’t know. But I will be in a Grey-style.

The saga of Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) and April Kepner (Sarah Drew) will continue. Will they get back together now that Kepner is pregnant again with Avery’s child or not. There were signs that the relationship might be on the tracks again, but nothing is for sure on Grey’s Anatomy.

I won’t tell you any major spoilers even if I could, because spoilers (yes, a little Dr Who reference). But from what I have read it is going to be an interesting season story wise. Let’s hope the writers will use that potential to its fullest.

We will find out in less than a month on the 22nd of September on ABC. Stay tuned as I will review Grey’s Anatomy when it is back again on the air.

Wheelies Day Out To Miss Fisher’s Costume Exhibition

Phryne Fisher

Last week I was lucky enough to win a double pass to the Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries Costume exhibition at Old Government House which is in Brisbane, Australia. I attended the exhibition on Sunday 24th of July and our pass also included the Garden Party which was on the lawn areas of Old Government House and my god what a sight it was to see, there were young and old all done to the nines in 1920s attire all enjoying the picnic on the laws with beautiful hampers with fancy sandwiches, tea an cakes aplenty with a trio belting out hits of the 20s, while folks floated across the dance floor but for me the best part was the costume exhibition, every piece in the exibition was actually worn in the show, they were all incredibly beautiful and all designed by australian designer Marion Boyce. Marion and her team created 120 costumes for the series, including sleepwear, daywear, nightwear and special occasion outfits.
For those that have not heard of or watched Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries then here is a little background about one of my all time favorite Australian crime series if you haven’t seen it then you my friends are missing out!

What is Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and who is Miss Fisher?

Well Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries is an Australian television drama series and it based on the author Kerry Greenwood’s novels and was created by Deb Cox and Fiona Eagger, the series revolves around the personal and professional life of Phryne Fisher played by Essie Davis, a glamorous private detective in 1920s Melbourne who continually keeps Detective Inspector John “Jack” Robinson played by Nathan Page and his Constable Hugh Collins played by Hugo Johnston-Bert on their toes with her sass and smarts.

Dot, Jack, Phryne and Hugh

The other cast members include:
Dorothy “Dot” Williams is Miss Fisher’s paid companion, Dot is a devout Catholic and is in a relationship with Hugh Collins. Dot is played by Ashleigh Cummings

Mr Butler is Miss Fisher’s loyal butler played by Richard Bligh, is an excellent household manager who provides good advice when needed, Mr Butler is also a veteran from the Australian Imperial Force who can put up a fight if needed to.

Bert Johnson and Cec Yates played by Travis McMahon and Anthony Sharpe, Two working-class friends and devout communists, who often assist Miss Fisher’s investigations.

Dr Elizabeth “Mac” Macmillan played by Tammy MacIntosh, is Miss Fisher’s close friend and doctor at a woman’s hospital in Melbourne

Jane Ross played by Ruby Rees-Wemyss, is Miss Fisher’s ward, who shares the same name with Phryne’s deceased sister.

Prudence Elizabeth Stanley played by Miriam Margolyes, is Miss Fisher’s aunt and a reputation-conscious society matron.

Murdoch Foyle played Nicholas Bell, a former university lecturer imprisoned after the disappearance of Miss Fisher’s sister Jane.

Jack & Phryne

The photos really don’t do the stunning costumes justice, in person they are absolutely beautiful and I was in awe of the whole exhibition and so lucky I got the opportunity to see it. Below I have created a little video of the exibition so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it. You will also find links to the Miss Fisher’s site. Miss Fisher also has a YouTube channel.
