TeeVee: NEW Shows in 2014

 

Television in 2013 has been dramatic, entertaining and eventful.

But before we +1 to 13 let's see a small chunk of what the big 1-4 has to offer us.

Bordertown

The Seth MacFarlane animated empire continues to grow and expand with the comedy giant introducing his newest creation to the world.

The show is called Bordertown, The two main characters are Bud Backwald, who is a border line agent that has three children, the other character is Ernesto Gonzales, an imigrant from Mexico who is happy to be with his family in the United States. The show is set in a fictitious town in Texas.

The show is due to premiere on FOX in the US this Fall 2014, it will take over American Dad's slot in the 'Animation Domination' line-up. American Dad will move to TBS which will broadcast the show from Summer 2014.

Bordertown looks similar to another animation TV show on FOX that we all know and love, Bob's Burgers. But anyways we look forward to watching the first ever 30 minute episode of Bordertown this Fall 2014 on FOX.

The Musketeers

Okay, The Three Musketeers story has been rinsed out thousands of times but in-order to watch this adaptation of the story you must forget everything you know about the other versions.

The new BBC adaptation of the old French story stars Luke Pasqualino, Tom Burke, Santiago Cabrera and Howard Charles.
It also stars Doctor Who number 12, Peter Capaldi, who is sort of the reason why the new show has been delayed, the producers have said they will have to "recalibrate" the series in order to accommodate Capaldi's new role.

The Musketeers does look similar to the recent 2011 film 'The Three Musketeers'. However we'll still watch the first 60 minute episode of The Musketeers this January 2014 on BBC One. (The Musketeers will also air in the US on BBC America this Spring 2014)

Reflex

The team behind hit Saturday night TV show The Cube bring you an amazing brand new BBC1 game show, REFLEX!

Hosted by Eastenders own, Shane Richie, the show sees two teams of three family members compete in a series of physical and mental tasks that all share one common theme, the games all require contestants to be fast, and test everything from pure physical speed and dexterity; in order to win.

Reflex should be good. We hope that Reflex will different from the Cube so that there is continued game show variety. But we look forward to watching the first 45 minute episode of Reflex on the 11th January 2014 on BBC One

Inside KFC

Those of you currently reading this while holding a KFC chicken leg pay attention right now!
At a time when our entire nation seems to be obsessed by fast food, the NEW BBC One series will gain unprecedented and surprising access to a global super-brand, KFC.

Who knows what will happen in this tell all show, but we'll be watching the 60 minute documentary Inside KFC this Spring 2014 on BBC One. 



The Taste

 

It taste good in America but will it take off over here in the UK?
Nigella Lawson's brand new show The Taste is a ten-part series which shall see contestants face rounds of cookery challenges, with the panel blind tasting just a spoonful of the food before eliminating competitors from the show.

The food competition will be narrowed down to 12 contestants with a judge acting as a mentor or coach, to each team of four. The blind taste twist means that a mentor could end up sending home a member of their own team if their food is not up to scratch, this twist gives The Taste a simply amazing audience grabbing show.

Channel 4 has also been fortunate enough to acquire the rights to air the US version of the programme, later in 2014. We can't wait to see the US version but for now the UK version of The Taste starts on Tuesday 7th January 2014 on Channel 4 at 9pm
