If you have been using Google this week you may have found a few of the characters from Sesame Street had invaded the usual logo.

 
 
 
And of course this is to celebrate the 40th birthday of the most iconic and best loved children’s TV show ever created, Sesame Street… After all if it wasn’t for Sesame [...]

Wow another new feature here on Outside the Box (the television blog always aiming to give you more), WEB TV, a look at television shows only available on the web.
Circle of 8
Circle of Eight, is a supernatural series where nothing is as it seems. Jessica, a newcomer to the City of Angels, has just moved [...]

I’ve been a bit slacking on my True Blood Quotes so this week I present a pair of fantastic quotes from one of the best written shows on the box.
Episode four finds Sookie and Bill take a trip to the vampire bar Fangtasia. Whilst there they make this little exchange as Bill tries to get [...]

In my continuous attempts to simplify this blog, I have devised in my little mind a new idea. Simply called ‘The Buzz’ this new feature will present my loyal and growing readership with all the news of upcoming and returning shows that will surely be the topic of conversation around the water cooler at work, [...]

Dogs have always had a place in the world of animation. We’ve had mystery solving dogs (Scooby Doo), we’ve had liberal, martini drinking dogs (Brian Griffin), heck we’ve even had a dog attached to a cat (Catdog)… And now we have a duo of dogs who do judo to add to the list thanks to [...]

I wanted to post something to say Happy Hallowe’en, but who really wants to watch It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown for the millionth time?
So instead I found this great Charlie Brown spoof, I hope you enjoy and Happy Hallowe’en. Oh yeah and if you are the one in charge of handing out the trick [...]

You may have seen the news that Monty Python were awarded a life time achievement BAFTA for their contribution to film and TV. To coincide with this,  for the first time ever, the complete works of Monty Python will be available on iTunes from Tuesday. As well as The Holy Grail and The Life [...]

Aside from being a telly addict, collector of music and avid reader, I am also a closet geek.
Sure I don’t go out to parties dressed like Spock, and I have never bid on eBay for a replica light saber, but I have been known to buy the occasional graphic novel, and I subscribe to [...]

Anybody who has ever switched their television on for any purpose other than watching X-Factor or Big Brother will probably already know that HBO makes the best shows on the telly. In fact HBO is so good that now I get excited just by the static intro that precedes all HBO productions. That ten seconds [...]

Wow Channel 4 has been busy trying to boost their lagging viewers numbers. First they raided the HBO archives to bring Generation Kill and the first series of True Blood to UK terrestrial TV, and now they are bringing HBO’s Hung to sattelite station More4.
And like most HBO shows, Hung looks like it might just [...]

Recently I discovered a fantastic website for all you telly junkies. RetroJunk is a nifty little site that sort of acts as a television time machine. On it you can find all sorts of mostly rubbish TV clips from the 70s, 80s and 90s to bring back all those fuzzy memories of days gone by. [...]

When Graham Norton has great guests there is probably no better talk show in the UK than The Graham Norton show. Graham just seems to pick up his game to match the quality of his guests. So imagine my delight this week when Anna Paquin appeared on the show to promote the first series of [...]

Yes, folks the wait is almost over… True Blood is coming to Channel 4 tonight 10pm and if the trailer doesn’t get you excited than perhaps you are as dead as a vamp!

I found this clip on TV.com from FlashForward, and after watching it I couldn’t help but think it was very similar to the opening scene from Lost??
Or am I just drawing to many conclusions from the shows connections???

The basis behind Flashforward is that we are all controlled by fate, but what is fate? And do we have any control over what really happens to us?
Who knows, but the people at ABC television have created this short documentary which discusses just what the creators of Flashforward think of fate and destiny, and it [...]

What is this? There is actually a show coming to FIVE that people should actually watch? No it can’t be…
Yet the rumours seem to be true. FIVE is actually going to show something that does not have CSI in its title, and if the show lives up to the buzz coming from across the pond [...]
