‘American Horror Story’ Looks Creepy-Awesome
I’m not sure how many of you out there in Crushland realized this (I didn’t, until now), but you know Glee, that delightful television show featuring peppy, singing high schoolers? Well, it was created by Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy, the same folks who made Nip/Tuck, that horrifying and yet somehow fascinating show about morally questionable people and plastic surgery. Correct me if I’m wrong, but those two shows seem rather like they’re on opposite ends of the spectrum, no? Maybe they felt they needed to do something lighter after six seasons of surgery. But after a couple of seasons of joy and song, it looks like Falchuk’s and Murphy’s pendulum is swinging back in the other direction again, because their next project is a little thing called American Horror Story. And if the sneak peaks that have been surfacing lately are anything to go by, it’s going to be AWESOME. More »

Are New Series ‘Ringer’ and ‘The Lying Game’ Actually the Same Show?
Two new sister-themed shows are coming our way this season — Ringer, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar will air on The CW, and ABC Family is giving us The Lying Game based on a series of books by Pretty Little Liars author Sara Shepard. And from the clips I’ve seen of these two shows, they seem to have pretty much the exact same premise.

4 Things We Want to See — and 2 We Don’t — in ‘Gilmore Girls’ Creator’s ‘Nanny Diaries’ TV Show
Amy Sherman-Palladino is aces at capturing nontraditional relationships between mothers and their kids. Her show Gilmore Girls, about a single mom raising her daughter in a quirky town away from her WASPy parents, is one of our absolute favorite dramedies. Unfortunately, her follow-up, The Return of Jezebel James, didn’t make it past one season even though it tread the interesting ground of surrogacy. We think Sherman-Palladino could have a winner with her latest project: Adapting The Nanny Diaries, the novel about a nanny working for a privileged family in the Upper East Side, into a TV series for ABC.

‘Game of Thrones’ and the Art of the Visual FX Reel
Even if you don’t know much about filmmaking, odds are, you’re aware of the mark of good special effects: If the effects are reeeeeeally good, you don’t actually notice them. This is one of the reasons why the Lord of the Rings trilogy is so good; it’s one of the reasons why Black Swan was so good; and it’s one of the reasons that HBO’s Game of Thrones is so good. This is also why it’s so much fun when special effects reels detailing how all of those so-spectacular-you-didn’t-even-notice-them things were accomplished pop up on the Internet. Hoorah for the Internet! More »
‘Torchwood: Miracle Day’ Is The Scariest Thing I’ve Ever Seen
Have any of you been watching Torchwood: Miracle Day? I know there are some Doctor Who fans lurking around Crushable, but Torchwood has generally had a smaller American audience than its parent show, so I’m curious about who out there in Crushable Land also follow the adventures of the one and only Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman). I plugged Miracle Day in 8 New Summer TV Shows to Watch Out For back in June, though, because this year, Torchwood has moved away from Britain and the BBC and found a home in America on Starz on Fridays at 10pm. At the time, I noted that we had no idea what to actually expect from the story, but hey, it’s Torchwood, so it’ll probably have aliens in it. Well, we’re about four episodes into this season, and though we haven’t seen any aliens yet, I can safely say that Miracle Day is by far the scariest thing I have ever seen. Here’s the thing: We get a lot of end-of-the-world stories in the sci-fi and action genres, but the end of the world isn’t actually the worst thing that could happen. What could be worse than the end of the world, you ask? Miracle Day could. That’s what. And here’s why. More »
Hamming It Up: How Many More Genres Can Jon Hamm Dominate?
Since 2007, Jon Hamm has been raking in the accolades for his performance on AMC’s Mad Men, as the dashingly deceptive ad exec Don Draper. Almost overnight, the once-struggling actor became a household name, garnering acclaim, awards, die-hard fans and lucrative contracts. In a mere four years, the golden-globe winning star has flat out conquered not only drama but comedy as well, with two Emmy noms for his 30 Rock cameos, and stellar appearances on Saturday Night Live, Children’s Hospital, the movie Bridesmaids. Now, according to Deadline.com, Hamm has also booked a recurring role in the IFC original comedy The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. In it’s second season, the show stars David Cross and Will Arnett and will soon feature Hamm in five of the six new episodes.
So, the glaring question appears to be, what’s next for Hamm? He’s proven he can tackle two opposing genres with ease, making everyone on either side of the spectrum a little red in the face. We have a few suggestions that he can tackle next on his route to total thespian domination.

Crushable’s ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 2 Dream Cast
Casting for the second season of Game of Thrones is well underway– and a good thing, too, since a second season has been in the works since the airing of the show’s very first episode. This season will cover the second book of the series, A Clash of Kings, and has a whole bunch of new characters to get to know. Among them are Margaery Tyrell, the sister of Ser Loras “Knight of Flowers” Tyrell, who will be played by The Tudors actress Natalie Dormer, and Brienne of Tarth, an exceptionally tall warrior maid who will be played by the 6’3″ (you heard me: 6 foot three!) actress Gwendoline Christie. There are still plenty of roles left to fill, though; here’s who we’d like to see join the cast: More »

‘Game of Thrones’ Aftermath: Why Characters You Love Need to Die
Game of Thrones, HBO’s fantastic television adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin, finished up its first season last Sunday, and boy, was it a doozy. The last couple of episodes were all doozies, come to think of it; if there’s one thing you don’t generally expect when it comes to television shows, it’s that so many main characters end up dying. Naturally, there were some pretty violent reactions to some of these deaths– one in particular– and yes, I see where you’re all coming from. Here’s the thing, though: Sometimes characters, even the ones you love, need to die. And here’s why.

Creepy Things That Seem Real But Aren’t: Candle Cove
Creepy Things That Seem Real But Aren’t is a series that explores modern urban legends, bringing you a new tale each week.
Memory is imperfect. Childhood memory in particular can be tricky; it may the distance in time or it may be the difference in how one perceives the world as a child, but in either case, the result is that recollections from these early years are often hazy at best. And yet, the images retained– a mark on the wall, a shifting shadow, the static of a television screen– can just as often be more powerful than you might think would be. What if you had a memory you couldn’t quite remember? What would happen if you decided to go digging for it? And what if it happened to be a memory that should be left well alone? This one calls itself:
