All summer long we heard about "The Event."
The promotion paid off Monday night when the show debuted. The series premiere was the highest rated drama debut for NBC in three years and delivered a solid audience in a competitive 9 p.m. hour. That was good news for NBC.
Even better news was the show's ratings increased during the final half hour.
For months we've waited and wondered. And this Saturday, the wait comes to an end when "Sharktopus" debuts on SyFy.
But if you can't wait until then, SyFy has been kind enough to send over a few clips.
Here they are. Enjoy!
As if the final installment of the "Twilight" series wasn't going to make huge piles of cash already, someone at Summit Entertainment has decided that it should make even more. And how can they make even more piles of cash?
Charge screaming fan-girls more to see Jacob, Edward and Bella in 3-D.
When news began circulating last week that Emmy nominated "Mad Men" actor Jon Hamm was the leading candidate to play the Man of Steel in the next Superman movie, there was one response--isn't he too old?
Hamm, 39, seems to agree.
In its decade long run, "Smallville" has brought over a lot of DC Universe regulars to meet and/or battle the Boy of Steel.
But there's one character created for the show that hasn't made the jump to the comic book page--Chloe Sullivan.
That's all going to change when Action Comics #893 hits stands later this year. After a decade, Chloe will be in the comic book line.
For months, we heard rumors that actor Nathan Fillion was in the running to play Hank Pym aka Antman in the upcoming "Avengers" movie.
And while Fillion is eager to take on the role and work with director Joss Whedon again, he thinks his commitment to his current series "Castle" may keep him out of the running.
Billy Mitchell's reign as the new king of "Donkey Kong" was a short one.
Steve Weibe is once again the king of Kong.
Weibe wracked up a score of 1,064,500 points to reclaim the throne. Weibe, a schoolteacher who was featured in the documentary "King of Kong" (again, if you haven't seen it, you should), sent in a video-taped submission that shows him setting the new record.

Some of you may recall the months-long gnome meme that ran on the Slice of SciFi Voice Mail show. If you don't, dig through the archives and enjoy the hilarity. Looking back, it's too bad this next film didn't come along during the meme's heyday. The new film is called "Gnomeo and Juliet" and it's [...]
Veteran comic book writer Stan Lee has done a lot of things in his career, but he's never hosted "Saturday Night Live."
A group of devoted fans on Facebook would like to see that change.
Following in the steps of the successful campaign to get Betty White to host an episode of the long-running, late night sketch comedy, a campaign to allow Lee to host the show is underway.
"Legend of the Seeker" fans haven't given up hope there could be a third season for the syndicated show.
Their latest publicity attempt involves the upcoming People's Choice Awards.
Here's how you can help the show.
Could tonight's season finale for "Warehouse 13" also be the season finale?
It's possible.
So far, SyFy hasn't signed off on a third season for the show.
Best known for his work on "The Shield," actor Jay Karnes is joining the cast of "V" this year.
Karnes has been cast as FBI agent Chris Bolling for a multiple episode storyline.
Bolling will be assigned to work Erica Evans as a new partner and will question her divided loyalties and her dedication to the Fifth Column.
If you've been wondering exactly what the agenda for Tess Mercer is, you're in luck. Actress Cassidy Freeman says we'll find that our and more in the tenth and final season of the CW's "Smallville."
The "Doctor Who" Adventure games have been a huge hit for the BBC.
