I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.

The Flash Series Premiere - “City of Heroes” Spoiler Free Advance Review. Speed Racer. 11

I’ve been eagerly awaiting The Flash to premiere ever since Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) was introduced on The CW’s Arrow. His appearance allowed fans to get a feel for Gustin before the network dished out millions for a standalone series. Thankfully, he and his character were well received so The Flash is born…again.

Gotham – “Pilot” Spoiler-Free Advance Review. A Fish, a Cat and a Penguin.

Gotham - “Pilot” Spoiler-Free Advance Review. A Fish, a Cat and a Penguin. 23

When Fox first announced Gotham would be on its 2014 fall schedule, I had my doubts if the show could work without a main hero. Sure, Smallville didn’t have Superman and survived for 10 seasons but the show still had Clark Kent (Tom Welling) and he wielded most of Superman’s powers. So, can there be a Gotham without Batman? Based on the pilot, the answer appears to be yes.
