'The Cape' Inspires SNL Parody

According to TV Guide, NBC has reduced it initial order of 13 episodes of The Cape to 10. I am hopeful that this is the end of the original comic-book inspired shows so that we can begin getting more television adaptations of quality properties (Powers, Locke & Key, Hulk, etc.). I was not a fan of the first episode of The Cape; it felt like a series created by people who had a vague idea of what comic books are.

Luckily, shortly after the show's premiere, SNL produced the following digital short that parodied the struggling series. Enjoy!

SNL has Fun with 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark'

This weekend Saturday Night Live had some fun with the technical problems Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark had in last week's first preview. Theatergoers were treated to a memorably long and problematic first night as stunts and glitches forced the show to stop several times during the course of the production. In the clip Andy Samberg plays Brian Christopher, the fourth actor to play Spider-Man due to injuries incurred by the first three (the third one apparently exploded).

Enjoy the video. I really think you're going to flip for it!
