Today’s post is a guest post by Lisa from Satellitetv.com Sometimes what seems like a great idea turns out to be an epic fail. Such was the case with these ill-fated comic book to TV adaptations. Sometimes it’s best to leave our favorite comic characters on the page rather than tarnishing their good reputations with a foray into television. Here’s our list of the worst shows inspired by awesome comic book characters. 1. “The Amazing Spider-Man” Live-action Spider-Man adaptations should be limited to movies starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone – or even Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.

Back in October, Debra Fowlkes of Yorktown did something that blew me away – she turned her house into her own private Star Wars convention. In the Daily Press, there was a brief article about how Fowlkes threw a party for her fortieth birthday with a Star Wars theme. She called it Deb*Con 40. Here’s some excerpts from the original article:
Why is a bear mauling a cardboard R2-D2? That’s the question I found myself asking when I saw the viral video “Grizzly Bear gets an R2-D2.” Oddly enough, most of the links never mentioned where, when, and why the video was taken. I managed to track down Katie Borremans, Public Relations Manager at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, who filled in the details as follows: Indeed, the video is from here at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! Two staffers, Ashton and Kirsty Strobridge, shot the video during a special robot-themed enrichment night for zoo members in July. In the wild, animals would spend…

These dreams have been coming since childhood, and all his life Chris tries to understand this disease, but no doctors or books give answers.

We’d like to say goodbye to Brittany Murphy, a woman who has given more to the world of geek than most people realize. Brittany Murphy, who was complaining of flu-like symptoms for several days, died of natural causes from cardiac arrest on Sunday night. The 32-year-old actress started her path to geekville in 1995 when, after doing a string of teen television roles, she had a guest appearance on “SeaQuest DSV 2032” as teen love interest Christine VanCamp. She was made famous for several other roles like “Girl, Interrupted (1999)”, the thriller Don’t Say a Word (2001), the drama “8…
