    Marvel’s Agent Carter (ABC)

    That's because Marvel knows how to make movies, and being forced to shackle themselves to the smaller budgets, rights-avoidance and balkanized niche-demographic kissups of television, can't compete with itself. With Warner/DC, it's the exact reverse: Nolan/Snyder mania has made their...

    Marvel’s Agent Carter (ABC)

    Marvel’s Agent Carter (ABC)

    Although the latest TV ads are trying to narrow down the demographic a little more:"In the tradition of Emily Thorne (Revenge) and Olivia Pope (Scandal), the latest to join ABC's lineup of strong women!" Ohh, those male Marvel fans are going to be all over this show like ants on a sugar cube...
