BRAINDEAD

CBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: Robert and Michelle King, creators of The Good Wife, are behind this new summer series for CBS, which manages to blend Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The West Wing, and Mars Attacks! It’s a political satire, featuring alien brain-eating bugs and possessed politicians, and it’s lots and lots of fun. Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars. For my review on today’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, listen to the show, or visit the Fresh Air website later this afternoon. For full reviews, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes and David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
