Eric Morden: Ready for a story about super heroes? Ugh, more TV superheroes, just what the world needs. Be honest, have you hung yourself yet? Or what if I told you this was actually a story about super zeroes, losers, achingly pathetic meta-human goose eggs. How about it? Ready to feel better about your own miserable lives for the next hour or so? Follow me.

Featured review
She touched my junk...
I was so lucky growing up. I got to see GET SMART, THE OUTER LIMITS, MR TERRIFIC, LOST IN SPACE on TV. I read all the great comics from DC. Supes, Batman and Robin, The Flash, Green Lantern, Adam Strange, World's Finest, The Atomic Knights, Metal Men and of course, DOOM PATROL. Stan Lee's stuff was in the mix, but I was always a Detective Comics kind of guy. National Periodical Publications. Curt Swan, Bob Kane, Carmine Infantino, the kings.
Tonight, Cliff, Larry, the Chief and Rita appeared on my telescreen, apparently transported from 1963 to present day, with Crazy Jane soon following. Cliff was his usual grumpy self, Larry an enigma. The Chief was earnestly idealistic. Rita's super power was being an ex-movie star. Why was Cliff so grumpy? Well, it was because the Chief saved him by giving him a robot body.
The introduction should be rated A for Amazing, but it's a little more R-Rated, what with Cliff doing his thing with his "thing", him and the Nanny getting jiggy, before going out with the Wife and Kid for ice-cream and a whole butt-load of blue language. It aint for the kids, Honey.
Pilot episodes are usually all exposition and stuff, but don't worry, they don't drop any anvils on you. You really have to see Rita's super power. Much more amazing than watching a guy in a red suit run around town getting chased by Speed Wraiths.
Greg Berlanti is the Golden Boy in town, and it appears he can do no wrong at no time.
