Television Revival

TV Halloween Costume Ideas

The hilarious Halloween costume idea thread on Pajiba, got me thinking about what I should dress up as this year. Here’s the television show related costumes I’ve come up with so far:

“Doctor Who”

The Doctor is just a blue suit and converse sneakers, easy as pie! Or if you’re a girl, you could be Martha, Donna or Rose. All you have to do is track down their specific outfits, which isn’t too hard since they typically wear one get-up all season long.

“Smallville”
Buy the archetypical Superman costume or wear casual clothes with a superman shirt underneath to be young Clark Kent.

“The Office”
Basically wear your office/work clothes and pair it with a Dundler-mifflin mug, nametag or pen to give people a hint.

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”
Cheerleader Costume
Dress up like a cheerleader or late-nineties teenager. Then, pair your outfit with a wooden stake and fake blood splatter.

“Dexter” or “CSI”
Michael C. Hall as Dexter
Clear plastic coveralls splattered with fake blood, lab goggles, and fake scalpel if you go for the “Dexter” angle. For “CSI”, get any old cover-alls or jumpsuit and put label on the backing saying “CSI” + CITY NAME (depends on which incarnation you prefer of the CBS franchise).

Bart Simpson Mask
Or you can get a cheap costume mask and go as a “Simpsons” character.

The WB is back!

Warner Bros is reviving The WB on the internet. You can now stream classic shows like “Felicity”, “Buffy”, “Roswell”, “Angel”, “Smallville”, and many other tv shows that the network aired before it morphed into the The CW with UPN.

The WB network

The WB network
existed from 1995-2006 and was host to a multitude of television shows. They excelled with their children’s cartoon programming and guilty pleasure teen dramas like “Dawson’s Creek” and “One Tree Hill”. Nevertheless, my favorite shows were the sci-fi/horror tinged shows like “Angel” and “Roswell”. Still, The WB really did have something for everybody whether it be sitcoms, dramas, reality shows or even the local LA news.

It’s inevitable that the revival of The WB will only drudge up one the biggest mysteries in life that J.J. Abrams purported on “Felicity”. Who is the better guy: Ben or Noel!

Felicity\'s love Triangle: Noel or Ben

My heart says Noel because he was so nice and followed her around like a puppy. On the otherhand, though Ben started off as a jerk, he did eventually man up and show her how much he loved her. After this much time, it’s still so hard to choose…
