Hi ATA Listeners, first off apologies about the delay in the release of this podcast, I had a nasty case of food poisoning that put me out of commission for a few days. Anyway, due to things being somewhat behind schedule, I'm going to make my synopsis for this episode short and sweet by saying that this week's set of reviews all seemed to deal with the characters on our favorite shows such as Once upon a Time, Bones, Castle, Person of Interest, Fringe and Supernatural  working out some sort of issue with their real or surrogate families. Even the sitcoms dealt with family drama as Howard on The Big Bang Theory had to push back his wedding for going into space, Modern Family obviously dealt with a family issue and on Community, the family of students at Greendale had to say goodbye to one of their own.

On this week's ATA DC Nation, we are being invaded as we review the Green Lantern: The Animated Series episode “In Love and War” and the highly anticipated premiere of Young Justice: Invasion entitled “Happy New Year” as well as this week's DC Nation Shorts; Mad Presents Teen Titanic and the Super Best Friends Forever in “Grounded”. Also with the release of the next Smallville Season 11 Digital Comic postponed, we took time to discuss the newest trailer for The Dark Knight Rises featuring more footage of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman.

Hey gang, and welcome back to the one show on the ATA Network that includes both Mr. Thor-voice AND Wooton Kim! On this highly anticipated episode of Retro Reviews, Woo and I cover one of the greatest franchises in all of television, cartoons, and the entertainment industry: SCOOBY-DOO! In this episode, after brief Smallville, Chuck, and Supernatural discussion, we talk about Scooby-Doo! Where Are You?, The New Scooby-Doo Movies, The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, the two (good) Scooby-Doo films, Scooby-Doo and The Reluctant Werewolf, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, and Shaggy! I also try really hard to convince Woo to watch the current Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated series on Cartoon Network (send him a tweet to help me out!!!!) But don't think that we only talk about our favorite animated pooch, Woo and I also have an in-depth discussion about the Cartoon Network and cartoons/children's television of today! That is almost worth listening to us for 2 hours! So, strap into the Mystery Machine, grab a hand-full of Scooby-Snacks, and scream for Sha'ggy, because this will be one big mystery, that only we can solve!

On this week's ATA episode, Nico and I are walking on sunshine because it's time to feel good about outstanding television coming our way as some of the shows we review began ramping up towards their Season Finales with  the characters of Fringe having to say goodbye to their doppelgängers on the other side, Person of Interest dealing with the return of Reese's partner who was assumed to be dead and Supernatural making Nico fall in love with his crush, Felicia Day all over again. However With the writers of these shows basking in the sunlight of their ideas coming together into an exciting conclusion to the season, there are others who seem to have a black rain cloud overhead since Once upon a Time's promise to give us answers on the identity of August W. Booth ended up just being a wild goose chase and Bones just doesn't seem to be the same show following its return from hiatus. Again, there is hope that the skies will clear for Once upon a Time based on the show only being in its first season but Bones seems to have met the perfect storm with it continuing to frustrate us more so every week.

On the other hand, even the sitcoms got on board with ramping things up towards their Season Finales as Big Bang Theory seems to be progressing towards a wedding and Community went ahead to kill off a reoccurring character. Yeah, I know it's kind of morbid to leave a description for an episode entitled Walking on Sunshine with a theme like death but look at the bright side at least Community is keeping things interesting enough to stay on the air.

On this week's ATA DC Nation section our discussion is all about the heroes of the DC Universe facing the consequences of what they've done under the influence of mind control or super villainy as this week's Green Lantern The Animated Series “Fear Itself” episode dealt with Kilowog turning on Hal and this week's Young Justice entitled  “Auld Acquaintance” had a Starro controlled Justice League turn on Aqualad and his team.  Even the heroes in this week's shorts had to face the results of their actions as Plastic Man turned on the TV itself and Robin in the course of defeating Mad Mod took The New Teen Titans to the future. Meanwhile in the Smallville Season 11 department,  things were good between Clark and Oliver as they performed a solid superhero team up but Chloe realized she might be making a mistake on the decision to move away from the Watchtower in Metropolis as a mysterious spacecraft, which Michael and I share a few crackpot theories about in this episode heads towards Earth.

Hey ATA Listeners, let's do the time warp again as this week's slate of reviews took us from past, present, future and beyond in a way that would make the Doctor and the TARDIS proud. Basically, our time warp started out taking us to the past where and this week's Bones made us wish for better days when the show's  writing was stronger and Castle caused us to relieve the time were Firefly was on the air with a reunion between Nathan Filion and Adam Baldwin. Then Phil trying to give his daughter the best day ever on Modern Family caused us to take a quick stop in the present followed by us going a little bit of everywhere as this week's Community intelligently spoofed on Doctor Who. From here it was welcome to the future as this week's episodes of Fringe and Legend of Korra dealt with the descendents of heroic characters that we love trying to instill their parent's visions upon worlds threatened by evil. And lastly we round out our exploration of space and time in the great beyond as Supernatural gave us a story about Bobby being a ghost in training. So with that pull out your TARDIS key and unlock the sounds of this podcast because it contains an adventure that makes your iPod look bigger on the inside.
