This looks really bad.
ReplyDeleteThe comic was kinda fun.... western with vampires and werewolves..... *fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteWasn't there a movie about a guy called Wyatt Earp?
ReplyDeleteA tv show.Wiki is your friend.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to think about this..
ReplyDeleteAnd Wyatt Earp is real.
ReplyDeleteCowboys were real?!
ReplyDeleteWell... no... nah...
ReplyDelete*Burrrp*
Yes
ReplyDeletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy
The premise sounds interesting but god that comic cover is terrible. hope the TV version of the character is dressed differently.
ReplyDeleteKay... could be a bit of campy fun in there somewhere...
ReplyDeleteWait, you're being sarcastic, right?
ReplyDeleteI get a feeling of Cowboys vs Aliens about this, only it's a Cowgirl vs SPN creatures. I didn't like that movie but I like the sound of this show. That cover though, is a big mess. I'd like Sarah Michelle Gellar or Maggie Q. I don't care she doesn't fit the description.
ReplyDeleteOh my, everything but western
ReplyDeleteThis actually sounds like it could pretty fun, but everything is REALLY gonna have to click here. We're talking, very decent budget, top notch writers who can pull off a western, and the plot seems like it would require some clever tongue-in-cheek humor, also at least the lead actress needs to be likable and able to pull it off.
ReplyDeleteI really don't want this to be like Olympus or Z Nation (Olympus isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but still I have to have a beer with it...lol.)
Cowboys vs Alien was so disappointing but I do like mixing Westerns with other genres so this could be good. Maggie Q is always a good option! SMG as well, I want her back in role like this.
ReplyDeleteWow, that comic book cover is off-putting. I actually wish I hadn't seen it because now it taints my thoughts about the show.
ReplyDeletedon't know much about the comic, but the premise sounds interesting enough to me to give it a sample
ReplyDeleteMonster are bad again. But shoot I'll watch.
ReplyDeleteBut 'The Sixth Gun' (one of the best and one of my favorite comic books) can't find a network?
ReplyDeleteI'll still watch this because I love the 'Western' genre...
"Wynonna is a descendant of the famous lawman Wyatt Earp, and she's the
ReplyDeletetop special agent for a special unit known within the US Marshals known
as The Monster Squad. She battles such supernatural threats as Bobo Del
Rey and his redneck, trailer-trash vampires that are pushing a new killer designer drug called "Hemo," and the Egyptian Mafia's mummy hitman, Raduk, Eater Of
The Dead, who's out to do in all the other crime bosses. In her
subsequent adventures she finished some outstanding Earp family business
while dealing with Hillbilly Gremlins, and Zombie Mailmen alongside her
fellow Marshalls" - Wikipedia
The character was created by Beau Smith.
Described as “Justified meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer” if Buffy could hold her whiskey and only wore cowboy boots,”
ReplyDeleteMixed feelings.
ReplyDeleteThe new show will just be another addition of Syfy's growing portfolio of foreign shows they've acquired and broadcast. They've had Merlin (UK), Continuum (CA), Lost Girl (CA), The Almighty Johnsons (NZ), and Bitten (CA) so far.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds terrible, so bad infact that maybe it could work if it doesn't take itself too seriously?
ReplyDeleteTim Rozon is in so i'll give it a try. The show don't look bad.
