deggsyTV Review: Zombieland – The Series Pilot (2013)
You know what, I get it: you want it all. You want the pizza that’s both delicious and non-fattening. You want the underwear that’s both comfortable and makes you look good in the mirror.

NBC Pulls An Episode of HANNIBAL From Its Lineup
Well, it wasn’t long before NBC’s new show HANNIBAL (which I just reviewed here) faced its first bit of controversy, though surprisingly it doesn’t originate from the networks, or from outraged viewers with nothing better to do than complain, but from the show’s own frontrunner, Bryan Fuller, himself.
