Gotham Debuts with 8 Million People Watching

Posted on September 24, 2014 by Brett

Facing pretty stiff competition, Gotham was the first “comic book” based television show to debut in this 2014-2015 season. The premiere brought in 8 million viewers with a 3.2 in the coveted 18-49 year old demographic. The television show placed third behind CBS’s The Big Bang Theory, and NBC’s The Voice.

The show actually did better in its second half hour and was the nights’s top drama draw for men 18-49, besting both Scorpion and Blacklist.

The stats released so far does not include DVR playback or any streaming. With tough competition, I expect a lot of viewing will come from those sources.

Big Bang Theory Duo Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar To Make Wizard World Debuts At Chicago Comic Con August 23

Posted on August 19, 2014 by Brett

Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar, two of the stars of the long-running hit Emmy nominated TV series The Big Bang Theory, will make their respective first Wizard World appearances at Chicago Comic Con, Saturday, August 23, only, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. The duo, who portray best friends Howard Wolowitz and Raj Koothrapali, respectively, will meet fans, sign autographs, pose for photo ops and conduct a joint interactive Q&A session.

Helberg, whose Big Bang comedic timing and witty one-liners have endeared his character to fans and critics alike, recently won the Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. His feature directorial debut, We’ll Never Have Paris, was well received at the 2014 South by Southwest Film & Music Festival.

Prior to Big Bang, Helberg starred in Aaron’s Sorkin’s Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip which took place behind the scenes of a live sketch comedy show and starred Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford.

Nayyar was a newcomer to the TV scene before landing the role as the sometimes awkward astrophysicist Koothrappali role on Big Bang. In addition to guest starring roles on NCIS and Sullivan & Sons, Nayyar voiced Gupta in the animated feature Ice Age: Continental Drift and has a role in the independent film Dr. Cabbie opposite Adrieanne Palicki and Mircea Monroe.

The duo join David Boreanaz, Norman Reedus, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan, Katie Cassidy, Patrick Stewart, William Shatner and comics legend Stan Lee among the celebrities scheduled to attend the event, set for August 21-24. Wizard World Chicago Comic Con is the largest and longest-running of the 16 events in the 2014 series produced by Wizard World, Inc. and will also feature a top-drawer collection of well-known comics artists and writers and a variety of activities, exhibitors and special attractions.

Wizard World Comic Con events bring together thousands of fans of all ages to celebrate the best in pop-fi, pop culture, movies, graphic novels, comics, toys, video gaming, television, sci-fi, gaming, original art, collectibles, contests and more.
