DVD Review: Spectacular ‘The Shield: The Complete Series Collection’
13 November 2009 11:32 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – All seven season of the Emmy-winning, groundbreaking “The Shield,” easily one of the best programs of the ’00s, have been collected into one absolutely gorgeous set for “The Shield: The Complete Series Collection”. This time of year usually produces several complete series sets to essentially re-sell already available programs to holiday shoppers. This is one of the best.
DVD Rating: 5.0/5.0
The 88 episodes of “The Shield” have been collection on 28 Dvds, beautifully housed in a 34-page bound anthology book filled with photos, quotes, and a special letter from Shawn Ryan. Purely from a packaging perspective, “The Shield” is one of the most beautiful sets that a TV fan could include on their shelf. Sometimes complete series sets are literally nothing more than the previous releases crammed into one box. That’s not the case here as the entire show has been lovingly bound like a book you want to read again. »

'America's Next Top Model' recap: Shortie got loose!
10 September 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
PopWatchers, it's a magical, Tyra-filled night, so brace yourselves for made-up words, outrageous self-absorption, baffling contradictions, and whole lotta crazy: That's right, kids. It's the season premiere of the new America's Next Top Model. And despite the claims -- the repeated, and repeated claims -- that this is a "petite" season, where all the contenders are 5'7 and under, this feels a whole lot like every other season. It's deja vu all over again, times 14, plus screaming. The next name that I'm going to call is...casting hour. Let's do this! Yeah, if you've ever been to the Internet, you know that this 13th cycle -- someday that term will shed its menstrual connotations, but today is not that day -- is for the shorties, the models who would never be tall enough to break through into high fashion any other way. For the record, though, I'm not sure that 5'7 really counts as "petite. »

Defying Gravity: Disappointing Ratings; Cancel It or Keep It?
5 August 2009 1:20 PM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
ABC's new outer-space drama debuted on Sunday night. Will Defying Gravity be allowed to complete its mission or, like so many shows before it, be lost in space?
Defying Gravity follows the adventures of eight international astronauts as they fly a spaceship named Antares. On a top-secret mission, their lives are being recorded and telecast on Earth as part of a documentary. Despite the fact that the crewmembers wear libido-suppressing devices, there are plenty of romantic entanglements.
The show features the talents of Andrew Airlie, Christina Cox, Paula Garces, Laura Harris, Peter Howitt, Florentine Lahme, Karen LeBlanc, Ron Livingston, Ty Olsson, Zahf Paroo, Eyal Podell, Maxim Roy, Dylan Taylor, and Malik Yoba.
The sci-fi drama's storyline is strangely similar to the failed pilot for Virtuality that aired a month ago. Defying Gravity is a Canadian series that's co-produced by CTV, Omni Film Productions Limited, and Fox Television Studios. Filming has »

ABC Boldly Journeys Into Deep Space With New Series "Defying Gravity"
22 July 2009 11:07 PM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
On the 40th anniversary year of the Apollo 11 lunar landing, ABC is setting out on an outerpace endeavo of their own with the premier of "Defying Gravity" on August 2. The saucy space series follows the zero gravity fortunes of eight international astronauts enlisted on a long and risky mission.
Inspired by a BBC docudrama "Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets," the puzzling and often pulse racing mission of the Antares and her crew is spliced with flashbacks from the character's lives back on Earth.
From executive producers James Parriott and Michael Edelstein, the "Defying Gravity" is led by a sizable cast. Ron Livingston ("Office Space," "Sex and the City") stars as the vessel engineer Maddux Donner. Laura Harris ("24") plays on-board geologist Zoe Barnes, one of the many scientific brains working on the ship.
Malik Yoba, Christina Cox, Paula Garces and Zahf Paroo are just a few of talented names »

Preview: Defying Gravity

Fox TV Studios, Vancouver’s Omni Film Productions and the Canadian network CTV are teaming up to bring you the show that’s being dubbed “Grey’s Anatomy in space”. Yeah, that’s a weird tagline, right? Perhaps a longer explanation is in order.
Back in 2004 the BBC produced a series called Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets, which is the inspiration for Defying Gravity. Space Odyssey was broadcasted as a docudrama about a group of astronauts traveling to different planets. Defying Gravity has a similar premise: “[it's a] sexy, provocative relationship drama set in the very near future against the background of our solar system, in which eight astronauts from five countries (four women and four men) undertake a mysterious six-year international space mission covering eight billion miles. With the eyes of the world upon them – everything they do is monitored, and every emotion they feel, scrutinized – they soon discover that »

First look at "Defying Gravity," a "'Grey's Anatomy' in space"
10 July 2009 3:01 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
I've been a fan of women in space movies ever since I watched Kate Capshaw and Lea Thompson in Space Camp as a kid. Although I've never gotten into the Star Trek or Star Wars franchises too much, because they rarely give women leadership roles — except for Star Trek: Voyager, which I've seen all seven seasons of — and I've only watched some of the Battlestar Galactica episodes, I enjoyed Jodie Foster's Contact (at least the first half), and Lori and I both loved the 2002 Showtime series Odyssey Five.
So I was excited to hear about the new space drama coming to America (and Canada, Germany, and the U.K.).
Last week, ABC purchased 13 episodes of the new Canadian sci-fi drama Defying Gravity, which has this description, "In the near future, eight astronauts from five countries (four women and four men) undertake a mysterious six-year international space mission covering thirteen billion kilometers. »

Welcome to your Friday morning television briefing. I was lucky enough to see an advance screening of upcoming film Julie & Julia last night and urge all you film-loving foodies to head out and watch it when it's released. Just make sure you eat beforehand! Comedy Central has ordered ten episodes of an untitled multi-camera comedy series starring Jon Heder (Blades of Glory, Napoleon Dynamite).

DVD Review: Perfect Final Season of ‘The Shield’ Gets Fantastic Release
11 June 2009 8:27 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – There was no better show on television in 2008 than FX’s “The Shield” and the seventh and final season is now available on DVD. The dark and often brilliant series about life lived in the gray area between right and wrong had its ups and downs over the course of six seasons but the seventh and final chapter in the life of Vic Mackey was stunningly perfect and I find it hard to disagree with Maureen Ryan of The Chicago Tribune, who is quoted on the cover of the recently released DVD set - “…the most brilliant series finale I’ve ever seen.”
DVD Rating: 5.0/5.0 One of the things I always loved about “The Shield,” a show that I think I have written about more than any other in the decade I’ve been writing about entertainment, was how brilliantly the team behind the show wove together themes and »
