Couch Madness: ‘Ashes to Ashes’ (Group 2)

In honor of the NCAA tournament season, Give Me My Remote is bringing back our TV-centric bracket, pitting similarly titled episodes against each other: Couch Madness! (Credit for the excellent name goes to fellow reporter Chris Hayner.)

The seeding is simple: rather than quality of the hour, we’re going by air date (with the oldest episode getting the #1 slot and the newest getting #8). With Peak TV, this will not include every single show that has used this title; rather, we picked a selection from what was available.

The first round will run from Monday, March 11 through Friday, March 15. Round two will kick off on Monday, March 18, with the final face-off starting on Monday, March 25.

Next up? “Ashes to Ashes.” And with this title we’re doing something different: There are enough shows for two separate brackets. So keep reading for the second bracket, episode descriptions (from IMDB), and the poll. (For the other episodes competing, check out all the brackets here!) Read more

ASH VS EVIL DEAD: Starz Releases Season 1 Key Art

Bruce Campbell is appropriately bloody in the new key art for the upcoming Starz series, ASH VS EVIL DEAD.

The series is the next chapter in the EVIL DEAD franchise, which first started 35 years ago. Campbell reprises his role of Ash, who is now described as “the stock boy, aging lothario, and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead.” (The Starz show also includes franchise newbie Lucy Lawless.)

ASH VS EVIL DEAD: Bruce Campbell, Lucy Lawless, and Sam Raimi Preview the New Starz Series

ASH VS EVIL DEAD is coming to Starz this fall, and though the show will reunite THE EVIL DEAD star Bruce Campbell (Ash) and director Sam Raimi, they are very aware being able to step back into these roles is due to the fans of the franchise.

“The fans have driven all this,” Campbell told reporters during the show’s Television Critics Association panel. “The fans are responsible for every single bit of this. They’ve been relentless for years. The last EVIL DEAD movie was 24 years ago, 1991 — we shot ARMY OF DARKNESS. They haven’t shut up since. So no matter what we say to them or what we give them, it will never be enough, and we’re very grateful for that.”

The EVIL DEAD franchise had a 2013 film reboot (starring SUBURGATORY’s Jane Levy), but when it came time to carry on Ash’s story, finding the right partner was key.
