It's that time of year again — it's Comic-Con in San Diego! And, if you were lucky enough to get a ticket (I wasn't) you'll be treated to early releases new movies like
Star Trek: Beyond and the horror flick
Lights Out.
But here's what's really stirring up the nerd set: three brand new TV shows scheduled to debut at the convention. Since I couldn't go to San Diego to see the previews, I thought we'd take a sneak peak into what all the hoopla is about.
- People of Earth (TBS): This isn't Conan O'Brien's first Comic-Con. He's broadcast his late-night show from the 'Con many times. But this year he'll be previewing his new TV series about a support group where members write about their alien encounters.
- Son of Zorn (FOX): A blend of live action and animation, this comedy series centers on an animated warrior named Zorn from Zephyria who's been away for 10 years and now has to try to re-acclimate to the mundane reality of life on earth.
- Powerless (NBC): This is a first-of-its-kind workplace comedy. Set in the DC Comics universe, it tells the stories of regular people who work at an insurance company. The twist? These 'regular people' are powerless in a world of superheroes and supervillians, who of course possess superpowers.
All three sound like great shows to me. Of course, my nerdy friends are in agreement. We can't wait to see them, but since none of us made it to the 'Con, we'll have to bide our time until this fall when the new TV season opens.
See you next week,
Bobby
