6 TV Shows I Want to See Revived
The new X-Files revival kicked off this past weekend to mild reviews, and the two episodes were OK. The Heroes revival has come and gone, and won’t be getting a second season. Fuller House continues to loom on the horizon, an implied threat to everything we hold dear. Suffice to say, revivals of recent, popular TV shows with all or some of their original casts are all the rage these days.
What old, memorable shows would I like to see revived?
Strap in, friends
I love TV. I’ve been watching it since I was a little boy. I devoured all the glorious 1980s cartoons/glorified toy commercials, I watched TGIF with my family every Friday night, I grew up on the Golden Age of The Simpsons, and I graduated to smarter, better fare in college. I avoided reality TV like the plague, and now I’m enjoying all the great prestige TV that has erupted this decade.
But there are definitely shows out there I’d love to see come back. Join me after the jump for my ideas!
6 Villains I Want to See on Future Marvel Netflix Shows
This past weekend, I rewatched Daredevil on Netflix, and it still holds up! I’m doubly excited now for the second season in March! Likewise, Netflix and Marvel have announced a second season of Jessica Jones, and there are rumors on the wind of a Punisher show as well. Clearly, this big Marvel experiment has been a huge success, and hopefully it’s only going to get bigger and better from here!
And with new shows and seasons comes a need for new bad guys!
Where are their Emmys?
The Luke Cage show is scheduled to debut later this year. Iron Fist is still in the works. And The Defenders will be here before we know it. It’s a great time to be a Marvel fan — and a Marvel villain! Everyone agrees that the bad guys who star in these shows are some of the best Marvel is putting out, possibly because we have a whole season to get to know them instead of a 2-hour movie. Wilson Fisk on Daredevil and Kilgrave on Jessica Jones have made for great TV, but who else can Marvel use on the small screen?
Join me after the jump for six super-villains that I think would be great for upcoming Netflix shows!
Punisher and More Jessica Jones Coming to Netflix
This wonderful news arrived over the weekend, and while that makes my announcement rather late, I still wanted to make note: Netflix and Marvel have announced that Jessica Jones will return for a second season, and they’re also working on a new Punisher show following actor Jon Bernthal’s reportedly amazing work with the character. Bernthal will appear as the Punisher in Daredevil‘s upcoming second season, which will arrive on March 18.
There better be a skull on that shirt
This is great news all around. Not only were Marvel and Netflix confident enough in Jessica Jones, but they’re so thrilled about Bernthal’s Punisher that they’re already talking spin-off. I’m excited to see the performance. A Punisher Netflix show is a no-brainer.
Plus Jessica Jones was damn good television, so I’m glad to see her coming back.
Also, for those interested, work is still underway for the Iron Fist show. I’ll have that casting announcement whenever it arrives.

Daredevil Teaser Fulfills Sole Obligation
The second season of the Daredevil TV show will debut on Netflix on March 18 — and that is a sentence that makes me giddy just from typing it out. A Daredevil TV show, you guys! Anyway, they released a quick teaser trailer today to announce the debut date. And it definitely teases!
Yeah, it’s mostly just quotes and scenes from the first season. Only at the end do we get some snippets of new stuff, but at least that stuff sounds cool! Can’t wait!

My 6 Favorite Things of 2015
And so we bid goodbye to another year. Overall, I think 2015 was good to me. I went to England, the first time I’ve been out of the country. I had a successful Kickstarter and self-published my first comic book, Gamer Girl & Vixen. I bought a new high-end computer. I got two new winter coats. Life is pretty good, all things considered.
So let’s engage in that great Internet tradition of counting down all the best pop culture of the year!
It was a year
What was my favorite movie of the year? My favorite comic book or TV show? Did I buy any good action figures this year? I know for a fact that I didn’t hear any new or interesting music in 2015, because I’m a square. But we definitely had a lot of fun stuff! From Age of Ultron to The Force Awakens, what did 2015 have in store?
And please share your own favorites in the comments!
