The Muppets Are Coming Back to TV!
Apparently the world knew this was a thing long before I did, but I just saw the first trailer this morning and it’s actually pretty funny.
This could be a really good show! I mean, I’ll always believe in the Muppets. There are few things I like more than when people collectively decide to treat fictional characters as real, like Kermit or Chewbacca. You do not break the Fourth Wall with Kermit the Frog, you just do not, I don’t care who you are.
I can still remember watching reruns of the original Mupper Show in syndication when I was a kid. And I was definitely a Muppet Babies kid, that’s for darn sure. So hey, maybe this will be a neat show!

6 Characters I Can Blame For the Common Cold
Ugh. Is there any worse feeling than trying to shake the last days of a cold? Probably, but for me right now, there definitely isn’t. I’ve been battling this bug for days now and I just want my nose to work properly again! Is that too much to ask?!
At any rate, as with all things that crop up in a given week, I’ve decided to turn my cold into a List of Six! So I scoured the world of pop culture to find six characters, good and bad, who revel in disease and infection. It’s not going to be pretty. You might want to have a box of tissues handy before joining me after the jump!
6 Characters I Do and 6 Characters I Don’t Want to See in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
What a time to be alive! Only a few weeks after watching a legitimately cool Daredevil TV show, we are mere days away from seeing Avengers: Age of Ultron in theaters. Ant-Man is only a few months away, A.K.A. Jessica Jones comes out later this year, and there are more shows and movies down the line just waiting to be watched and loved! As a lifelong fan of Marvel Comics, I have to pinch myself to remember that it’s all real.
And like any other lifelong comic book fan, you better believe I have a geektacular list of Marvel characters that I’m dying to see on the big and small screens — and even a few that I don’t want to see. There are still a ton of untouched characters just waiting for a chance to shine. And considering some of the cameos we’ve seen so far — like Quake on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Stilt-Man on Daredevil — the people behind the scenes are more than willing to reach deep into Marvel’s extensive catalog.
But I’m not talking about just seeing these characters on TV or in the movies. I’m talking specifically about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the big #itsallconnected tapestry that takes us from Age of Ultron to Daredevil to that upcoming Agents spin-off. So I don’t care about the movies or TV shows that FOX is making. Make Mine Marvel!
6 Things I Want to See in Daredevil Season 2
Good news, everybody! Marvel and Netflix have given the green light to a second season of Daredevil, due to hit our screens next year! After the huge success and popularity of the first season, everybody seems ready to jump right into more Daredevil without waiting for the Defenders to come and go. This is great news! There is so much more Daredevil goodness that we need to experience! So many more stories that can be told!
I’m already well into a second viewing of all 13 episodes. The show is just that much fun. And like any good comic book fan, my mind is racing with where the show can go in Season 2. Some ideas are more obvious — and definitely made my list — and some are just what I’d like to see going forward. So join me after the jump for six things I hope we get in the second season of Daredevil.
And feel free to leave some of your own suggestions in the comments!
