Hope this is true. Either it's good, against all odds, and that's great. Or it's horseshit and I won't bother watching it. There is no losing scenario for me if they do make a series. I'm not one of the people who feel like a bad adaptation or sequel somehow ruins the good stuff that came before it, nor do I feel the need to watch a series with bad reviews and/or bad first couple of episodes.
Wolfenstein could be a cool fit for TV but it'd have to be played right. IMO at least Wolf is about a mix of historical drama and science-fiction/paranormal stuff. You'd have to make sure not to make it too goofy or too serious or else you run the risk of pissing people off. Even Nu-Wolf would be neat but as a TV series that might be too close in concept to Man In The High Castle.
Honestly... if you wanted to take a classic game and turn it into a TV series, XCOM is right there. Hell, it's already based off an old 1970s British TV show, giving it a fresh coat of paint would be real interesting.
Only way this could be good was if it was seven 50mn episodes, short and concise, AND was done by the same team that did the "Ash vs evil dead" series. Gore, action, respecting the original material, and humor. Otherwise it's dead in the water.
Oh right, this is about a Doom TV series. Just because The Last of Us got it right doesn't mean other game-to-TV adaptations can get it right. The Last of Us is a rare exception. I don't like this trend of adapting video games into other forms of media. The medium of video games is just too different from other forms of media for the transition to work most of the time. A film adaptation would be better, but they've already tried it 2 times and fucked it up. I would watch a faithful film adaptation of Doom 1 but it's never going to happen.
The only way I could see a Doom TV series working is if it takes place before the invasion, focusing on the moral and political intrigue that the pre-invasion events create and culminating in the gate opening. There's only so much interesting stuff you can squeeze out of a marine (or a group of marines) shooting demons - it worked twice in the shorter "one-shot" format of a movie, but the same in a 40-minute episodic format is bound to get stale.
I was curious about that. The idea of adapting the events of the book into some kind of meta-narrative documentary series or just a straight film of sorts similar to Pirates of Silicon Valley or The Social Network could be interesting. As for this possible new Doom series, I hope for the sake of the show's writers that the plan is to explore the lore established in the nuDoom games; which would be the better option since it gives the writers a foundation to work from, rather than the paper-thin narrative of Classic Doom.
Ted is an American comedy television series created by Seth MacFarlane for Peacock. The third installment in the Ted franchise, it serves as a prequel to the feature films, with MacFarlane reprising his role as the voice of the titular character. It was released on January 11, 2024.
Set in 1993, in between the opening sequence in Ted (2012), the series depicts the early life of a sentient teddy bear toy named Ted, as he lives with John Bennett and his family in Framingham, Massachusetts.[1] In addition to John and Ted, the Bennett household includes John's father Matty, his mother Susan, and his cousin, Blaire, who is living with them while attending a college nearby. Ted is soon forced to attend school with John, getting him bullied and in all sorts of trouble.
It was announced in June 2021 that Peacock had given a straight-to-series order for a prequel series to the 2012 film. In addition to serving as executive producer for the series, Seth MacFarlane reprises his role as the titular character Ted. Due to the prequel nature of the series, film stars Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, and Mila Kunis are not expected to reprise their roles.[3] In April 2022, Scott Grimes, Max Burkholder, and Giorgia Whigham joined the cast.[4] In May 2022, Alanna Ubach rounded out the cast of the series.[5]
The role of Andy was initially played by Dominic Cooper in a 2018 pilot for Sky Television.[citation needed] Stamp said the show had evolved from being about toxic masculinity to include changing modern attitudes.[2] Stamp and Mustafa previously worked together on BBC series People Just Do Nothing and Ben Murray directed Kurrupt FM YouTube videos.[3] Stamp recommended Mustafa for the role and he was announced as the lead in the project in August 2021 with the BBC commissioning episodes through Big Talk Studios.[4] In May 2023 the series was renewed for a second series of six episodes by the BBC.[5]
The interesting thing about this ink is that the color is dye-based (98%) but also has pigments added (2%). It should be a small enough percentage of pigment that it'll be perfectly safe for fountain pens, but the pigments add to the vibrancy and shading. The ink comes packaged in a pretty fancy box that unfolds to reveal the ink, which is in a new peacock-inspired bottle. If you're familiar with the eye-spots at the tip of peacock feathers, then this shape will be familiar (with the cap of the bottle forming the dark eye spot). It's a 30ml bottle and will cost about $16 USD (less in India).
The bottle has more appeal to me. The ink is a great take on the color but Peacock Blue just doesn't hit the "buy me now" spot. Be interesting to see if Krishna is going to push into the comparatively higher end market with a series of inks. They have a great bottle and some cool packaging and they have a worldwide market. Be interesting to see where this leads.
If you use the free tier of Peacock (only some existing customers are able to do so), you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan to watch the full Ted season. Recently released Peacock series like Twisted Metal and Based on a True Story have one episode on the tier, but watching additional episodes requires paying for Peacock.
Perhaps you're traveling abroad and want to stream Peacock while away from home. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the series from anywhere in the world. There are other good reasons to use a VPN for streaming too.
Follow the VPN provider's instructions for installation, and choose a country where the Ted series will be streaming on Peacock. Before you open the streaming app, make sure you're connected to your VPN using your selected region. If you want to stream the Ted series on more than one device, it's possible you'll need to configure each one to ensure you're signed in. Go to settings and check your network connections to verify you're logged in and connected to your VPN account. Now you're ready to open Peacock to stream.
Start booking those reservations, people! We're now just a few weeks away from the check-in of Peacock's limited John Wick prequel series: The Continental. Set over three wild nights in '70s-era Manhattan, the action-packed prelude to the hit film franchise starring Keanu Reeves will take viewers behind the curtain of the only hotel in the Big Apple that caters to cold-blooded killers.

He lives in Tulsa, OK and likes pasta, 90s thrillers, and spending like 95% of his time with his dog Luna.
The release of the series reminded the public of the outrage and disgust they hold for Anthony. Many are disturbed to see her back in the public eye and disheartened to see that Peacock decided to give her a platform to share her story. Many users on Twitter share their discomfort with the series.
Set in 1993, the "Ted" series acts as a prequel to the two comedy movies featuring the titular talking teddy bear. Seth MacFarlane is the series' director, executive producer, writer and co-showrunner along with Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh.
MacFarlane, Corrigan and Walsh said while the series is set in the nineties, it is "based on the timeless truth that being sixteen sucks. The only thing that makes it tolerable is going through it with a friend, even if that friend is a has-been magical teddy bear with a foul mouth and a proclivity for drug use."
The cameras have officially started to roll on the living teddy bear with the mouth of a sailor and an absolute heart of gold. Catching up with SYFY WIRE this past weekend for an in-depth discussion about the Season 3 finale of The Orville: New Horizons, Seth MacFarlane confirmed that Peacock's R-rated Ted series is now in active production. The creator of animated hits like Family Guy and American Dad! not only returns to voice the crass plushie, but also serves as co-showrunner, executive producer, writer, and director.
Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, and Jason Clark are executive produces on the Ted series alongside MacFarlane's fellow co-showrunners, Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh. Fuzzy Door, UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and MRC Television co-produce.
The seven-episode series is a prequel to the 2012 movie, "Ted," which starred Mark Wahlberg as Bennett and Seth MacFarlane, creator of "Family Guy," as the talking bear. There was also a sequel, "Ted 2," released in 2015.
Hi! My issue with the Peacock app is the following: If a TV series I had been previously watching is not appearing in my Continue Watching list, I can go find it in my Watchlist, fine. However, from there, it does not give me the option to resume watching where I left off, it always wants to start with Season 1, Espisode 1. I have to scroll through all the episodes to find where I left off. Only those offerings that appear in Continue Watching will resume where I left off, but not those in Watchlist. Is anyone else having this issue? Am I missing a setting or option? This occurs with all 3 of my Rokus, and online. Peacock customer service offers no help whatsoever. Just thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else experienced the same thing. Thanks!
