Norman barely escapes Deputy Shelby’s house after finding the Asian girl, the only reason he gets away is due to his brother’s help.  He distracts Shelby by asking for help with finding gas.  Norman doesn’t even realize Dylan saved his ass. Things are heating up between Norma and Deputy Shelby, getting busy in the Bates […]

This aptly titled episode, The Parents, is all about our two starlets (Ivy and Karen) meddling elders.  Bernadette Peters, Ivy’s mom, returns to Smash in this episode to play Gladys (Marilyn’s mother) in Bombshell.  Everyone is waiting for fireworks – the negative kind – between Ivy and her mom but their fake niceness is weirding […]

In the first four minutes, Norman’s estranged brother shows up and a man practically burned alive drives into a ditch.  Bates Motel certainly didn’t disappoint in the second episode.  The man burned inside his car is Bradley’s father who unfortunately witnesses the accident.  According to the Sheriff, he owns a warehouse in town and someone […]

Hello, Norman.  A&E quickly introduces us into the creepy world of Norman and Norma Bates by starting the show off with the suspicious death of Norman’s father.  Shortly thereafter, Norman and his Electra complex mother move to the coast of Oregon to purchase the infamous old motel and house behind it.  As they settle into […]

The episode starts with a little background on Michonne, those pets of hers were apparently malevolent acquaintances.  In her words, “they weren’t human to begin with.”  However, this episode ends up all about Andrea. Various medical tools are being gathered for Michonne’s hand over including a speculum…[shudder].  Torture of the worst kind is what the […]

On March 18th A&E will premiere its new drama series, Bates Motel, which serves as a prequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.  As you can imagine, it revolves around Norman Bates and his mother, Norma who buys the motel after a tragic incident.  The Daily Quirk was privy to a press screener of the premiere episode […]

The Governor and the Rickinator meet eye to eyes in the latest episode of the nation’s favorite zombie show.  Basically they sit at a table and talk politics…boring but necessary.  Outside the meeting place things develop in a much more interesting fashion.  Darryl, Andrea, Hershel, Milton and Caesar all become familiar with each other which […]

Over the weekend I spent time in New York City and Washington, DC which was incredibly fun and spawned an unexpected blog posting.  Picture it: February 19, 2013 – Washington Dulles International Airport – 3:00pm.  I walk into the terminal to check in for my United airlines flight and five people ahead of me in […]

Hollywood bigwigs make it sound so dirty, but is being labeled a “cult hit” in the television and movie industry really all that bad? No in the slightest. In fact, productions who get branded with the title should feel honored.

Going into tonight’s premiere of what is arguably the most anticipated new thriller on television, The Following, I was wary of being too excited. Shows like this can often times garner so much attention that when they air, the results are less than anticipated. Thankfully, FOX’s serial killer drama (created, produced and written by Kevin Williamson) […]

Happy New Year Everyone! We have lots of exciting things planned for The Daily Quirk in 2013, but for now let’s take a look back at some of the most popular articles of  2012!

I am a pop culture nerd who has formed a co-dependent relationship with her phone. That being said, I should not need to explain why an app like PopSpotter is my pick for this week’s quirky item, but I will anyway because it’s fun talking about who cool it is.

If Supernatural fans were looking for more falling anvils with the Season 8 midseason finale “Citizen Fang,” they were sorely disappointed. But for viewers that have come to expect the worst for the Winchester brothers over the years, the episode kept in line with what is looking to be one of the best seasons of Supernatural yet.

The Walking Dead mid-season finale was awesome! There are some new people in the woods behind the prison leading walkers into the blown out backside of the compound.  Don’t forget there is a limited amount of the group left there as Rick, Darryl, Michonne, and Oscar go for blood in Woodbury.  The Governor is attempting to […]
