It’s interesting that AS is going back to calling Aqua Teen Hunger Force its original name again. As far as I know, they used the Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 name all of last season.

Falling Skies: Woot … !!!

Wilfred: Woot … !!!

April 10, 2012 at 5:20 PM

y’all forgot Eureka … which is returning on APR 16 or 17 (can’t remember which) and is available on iTunes already …

April 10, 2012 at 5:30 PM

Eureka is back next Monday, April 16th. It premieres before the season 2 premiere of Lost Girl (my new favorite sci fi show!).

April 10, 2012 at 6:07 PM

April isn’t summer but I will try to add that to the old schedule. Thanks!

April 11, 2012 at 11:36 AM

no Breaking Bad?

April 11, 2012 at 11:40 AM

No word on that yet, but I’ll add it here and to the calendar when it’s announced!

April 11, 2012 at 2:13 PM

Love in the Wild is in it’s 2nd season.

April 11, 2012 at 2:16 PM

Thanks, noted!

April 18, 2012 at 4:12 AM
