If, like me, you don’t have cable and get all your shows through Hulu, you’ll be forced to wait a day and avoid as many spoilers for the premiere of Agents of SHIELD as possible (assuming it works the way most other shows work on Hulu).
This may be the only time I regret not having a typical cable subscription.
But in the mean time, we’ll tide ourselves over with this fun video.
And so it begins…
This marks Pixar’s first foray into TV specials. I suppose it was inevitable. Despite the fact that I’m not a big fan of Halloween, I suppose I like this. It looks like it will be sufficiently goofy.
Have a look:
Read The RestYou have to subscribe to TIME to read my full column (sorry). But you can read this for free: my full Q&A with Whedon, who I sat down with at the Television Critics Association press tour in August, just after critics saw the SHIELD pilot. We talked about the themes I wrote about in my column, as well as the challenges of adapting the franchise, serving the multiple masters of movies and TV (and the interests of Marvel and ABC), and what it means for little guys to live in a world of gods and Hulks. And it went a little like this:
At what point where you persuaded that this material could…
I won’t wast too much of your time with my babbling about how great this show is going to be. The awesome is just right below this really short blurb.
Let me just say my favorite line out of all five videos is, “I’m not Hermione, I can’t create instant paralysis with that.”
ABC issued a press release in regards to SHIELD that I thought you all might enjoy, even if it does get a little bit, well, press releas-ish at times. Still, if you’re looking forward to a great show, this is a fun read.

Broken record alert: I can’t wait for this show. I want it to be airing now. I want to be watching it now!
Agents of SHIELD is one of the more exciting things to come to television in a while, and I am greatly looking forward to it. Of course, as such, I’m eating up everything they put out — and sharing it with you all because that’s the way I am.
And apparently Agent Coulson thinks his team is good enough that he’s willing to give up having over 100 men at his disposal.
Check it out.
Here’s a great interview with the cast of the upcoming TV show Agents of SHIELD: Clark Gregg, Ming-Na Wen, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge, Brett Dalton, and Chloe Bennet.
The show will air on September 24th, and I for one can hardly wait! But while we are barely containing our excitement, we might as well watch this interview with the cast.
Joss Whedon, the creative genius behind the feature film “Marvel’s The Avengers,” one of the highest grossing films of all time, and the iconic television series “Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” has co-created Marvel’s first television series “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” a dynamic, action-packed one-hour drama that brings back Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) to lead a team of highly skilled agents to investigate extra-normal and super human people and events worldwide. The series begins where the “Marvel’s The Avengers” left off. It’s just after the battle of New York, and now that the…
We have learned the lesson the music industry didn’t learn: give people what they want
Actually, I think we’re a long way from that but he’s right, the Netflix model with House of Cards is a major step in the rigth direction. This, by the way, is why I watch House of Cards aside from the fact that it’s just pretty good story and television.
This is SO worth watching. Please take the time to watch. It’s fairly obvious too that Kevin Spacey is on our side and he’s saying things I’ve been saying for years.
