The Weekly Static is our righteously desperate-yet-endearing look at the past week in the land of the networks, cable, streaming, smoke signals, cloud formations, and shadow puppets from what an interesting, unique and entertaining perspective. At least that's how it reads on paper - let's see how it goes...

After a "fool-proof" plan of Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Tara's (Alanna Masterson) proved to be anything but and some crafty thinking on Eugene's (Josh McDermitt) part, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the Saviors staged a last-minute comeback by the end of The Walking Dead's Season 8 mid-season finale.

Welcome back to The Weekly Static‘s three-part mid-season finale! Today we take a look at a little basic cable network that's been quietly churning out a quality lineup of some very cool and original programming: TruTV.

Welcome to The Weekly Static's three-part mid-season finale — here, we take a look at one of the biggest television disappointments from 2017: Spike's The Mist.

With Robert Kirkman covering the history of comic books, AMC is going to another heavy-hitter to tell the story of science fiction: James Cameron, with his new series James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction.
