Zombie and Alien Apocalypse

In case you weren't aware, last September we missed an alien invasion and the end of the world. Well, only if you don't live in Southern California, which apparently took the brunt of these cataclysmic events. Californians in Orange County, who were tuned into the Cox and Spectrum cable TV stations, saw this message flash across their TV screens on Thursday the 22nd of September 2017.

Disasters Alerts In Orange County .....

It was accompanied by an audio message that warned them about 'Aliens' arriving. “The space program made contact with... They are not what they claim to be. They have infiltrated a lot of, uh, a lot of aspects of military establishment, particularly Area 51. The disasters that are coming—the military—I’m sorry the government knows about them ...”

Tranny Who?

The LGBT pressure groups must be laughing their heads off, after the BBC announced the latest Dr Who was to be a woman.

Wonder Woman Was Never The Same .... Somehow.

All done in the name of 'equality' of course

TV Weird

Like a lot of people, I have something of a love for Sci-Fi and weirdness and am always drawn to these sorts of shows on TV. Nowadays they are ten a penny and indeed right now, and without me bothering to look at the schedules the following shows are currently available, 'Grimm', 'Earth - final conflict', 'Stargate - Atlantis', 'Red Dwarf', 'Special Unit 2', 'Supernatural', and indeed several more (I am ignoring the Vampire and Zombie sub series). They are now a couple of popular genres for TV companies and so a niche market is probably not really a niche market any more.

The Time Tunnel Travellers Were Lost In Space

However that wasn't always the case. Back in the day, it was slim pickings for those of us who liked the Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres. We used to hug these shows to our chests like long lost brothers whenever they turned up ..... always aware that they were likely to be just dropped from the schedules at any moment .... For instance I remember that I was in shock, when the eponymous time travellers in 'The Time Tunnel' were left there, stranded in the past, after the US TV company just dropped the show mid season (The BBC recently did much the same with 'Atlantis').
