We don’t do a whole lot of news posts here, but I love me some statistics now and again so I whipped up an infographic showing how this year’s shows stacked up against each other. There were some clear winners like the Flash and some unfortunately clear losers like Constantine. But enough talk, let’s share the stats and I’ll break them down just a bit for you.

Upfronts: What’s Cancelled, Renewed, & Picked Up
I don’t do too much news here on the site for a few different reasons. One is that news is such a fast paced thing that one minute it’s news and the next minute it’s old hat. There’s plenty of other sites out there that have the ability to cover news as its happening in enough detail to get the whole story. For my part, I share as much news as possible (from official sources) on our Twitter feed. But this week there has been a whole lot of news about next year’s shows. Plenty of shows have been renewed and a few have been picked up and I thought I’d take a bit more of a look at the fate of all the shows we cover and will cover right here.

Blogathon: Saturday Morning Memories Announcement
It has been a lot of fun running this site for the past few months, but one thing I would like to see more of is some interaction, and what better way to do that than by having a blogathon that everyone can join in on. And here at Channel: Superhero some of the earliest superhero TV shows that any of us have watched are the Saturday Morning Cartoons of our youths. So for this blogathon, I’d like us to go back and revisit some of those memories of the cartoons we grew up with. Not only that, but most of us now have kids and the landscape of superhero cartoons have greatly changed over the years. It makes me wonder what they would think about the shows that we watched in our youths.

Welcome to Channel: Superhero!
Thank you for taking the time to visit our brand new site! Feel free to take a look around, much of the earlier posts are taken from my (Bubbawheat) earlier posts over at Flights, Tights, and Movie Nights. And if you are familiar with that site where I have been trying to watch and review every superhero movie out there, this site will be fairly similar, only instead of movies my team and I are seeking out, watching, and reviewing superhero and comic book television series. While our main focus will be the current shows in one of the biggest prime time superhero television booms in decades, we will also be taking a look back at earlier television series. Both live action and animated from any decade even going as far back as some of the earliest movie serials. We will be looking at the past shows in the same way we are looking at current shows, one episode a week, season by season. Make sure you check out our About page where you can learn more about all the great people that have agreed to join me in this venture. Because there is a lot of ground to cover and there’s no way I could do this all on my own. So sit back, pull up a chair, and check out the shows along with everyone here at team Channel: Superhero! If you want to know what our current schedule will be, just check it out right below.
