History AndTheFandomRejoiced / LiveActionTV

* {{Fringe}} - Leonard Nimoy as William Bell. Anyone?

* Fans of ASongOfIceAnd Fire series rejoiced when HBO announced that they would be creating the books into a TV series and pretty much everything that has come after has been nothing but good news: Martin being heavily involved, Peter Dinklage being cast to play Tyrion, the first shots of the Wall, etc.

** Rejoicing, yes, but evidently this did not translate into anyone actually bothering to watch the show.

** One of the last roles to be filled: ''[[TheChessmaster Tywin Lannister]]''. Who do we get? Charles Dance. And he's a fan of the books.

** Two fandoms rejoced at once when it was announced that ''JossWhedon'' was going to direct an episode. More rejoicing when it was revealed that ''NeilPatrickHarris'' was guest starring in the episode. YES PLEASE!

** There was rejoicing in fandom when [[Spoiler: it was announced Rose Tyler would return]] in Season 4.

** [[spoiler: Kurt and Blaine finally, finally, FINALLY kissed! TWICE!]] That sound you heard was a million [[spoiler: Klaine]] fangirls {{Squee}}ing.

* [[StarTrekDeepSpaceNine JEFFREY COMBS AS WEYOUN.]]
* The news that ChristopherEccleston, a high-profile "serious" actor, had been cast as the Doctor for the new ''DoctorWho'' series -- prior to this it was worried that the new series would merely be a campy, slightly snide over-parody, and previous casting rumors hadn't helped matters. So much so that when it was announced that he was quitting after one season, many fans [[SeriousBusiness didn't take it at all well]].

* Wait, [[{{Series/TheCape}} another superhero story on NBC?]] Yawn-- Is that KeithDavid and SummerGlau? In the same movie? While the nerds of the internet go Nerdgasm in the corner, you can be damn sure there will be rejoicing.

** When the good-looking KarenGillan was announced as the new companion, the fan base were very happy.

** Mark freaking Sheppard is guest-starring. Mark. Sheppard.

*** How come this is mentioned but not the return of Sarah Jane Smith (and K9), who then get [[TheSarahJaneAdventures her own show]] which would see the return of [[TheBrigadier The Brigadier]] and the aforementioned Jo Grant. Every single one of those leading to [[AndTheFandomRejoiced this reaction]].

*** Many seemed to be sold by Matt Smith saying [[spoiler: 'Trust Me, I'm the Doctor.']]

** ''PowerRangersLostGalaxy'' had people on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_FqcUnokAM# t=0m26s the theme song]]. And the {{Starship Trooper|s}} [[PropRecycling props]].

* Wait, [[TheCape another superhero story on NBC?]] Yawn-- Is that KeithDavid and SummerGlau? In the same movie? While the nerds of the internet go Nerdgasm in the corner, you can be damn sure there will be rejoicing.

* The news that [[CoolOldLady Margaret Mountford]] would be returning for the interview episode in Series 6 of ''Series/TheApprentice'' (UK) was greeted with [[http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2010/dec/14/the-apprentice-margaret-mountford widespread jubilation]].

*** Not to mention the return of long-time PR writer and story editor Judd Lynn.

** The fact that the ''original theme song'' was played during one of the ''PowerRangersSamurai'' promos makes it a little more promising. Fans {{squeed}} when they heard that tune again!

*** Just recently it was announced that pop singer Gackt will be playing Riderman, whose original actor has passed on. It may sound like a [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] situation, but the fact that Gackt is OneOfUs and has healthy respect for ''KamenRider'' means it counts as an ATFR.

** The fact that the ''original theme song'' was played during one of the ''PowerRangersSamurai'' promos makes a few things promising.

* ''PowerRangersDinoThunder''? Wait... did I just see a Red T-Rex Zord? What is this...? IS THAT TOMMY?!
** To a much earlier extent Power Rangers in SPACE
** Lost Galaxy had people on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_FqcUnokAM# t=0m26s the theme song]]. And the {{Starship Trooper|s}} [[PropRecycling props]].

** They're playing a ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' episode each day for 145 days starting Sept. 8 on http://www.powerrangers.com . ''And it doesn't have the changes.''

* Many people like to pretend [[SeasonalRot Season 8]] of {{Smallville}} didn't exist. Season 9 had mixed but better results. So people were a bit skeptical about Season 10....wait...[[spoiler: {{Darkseid}}]] is the final BigBad! The SuicideSquad! The possibility of [[spoiler: Lex returning]]! Well okay I gue...huh...John Schnider AND John Glover are going to have guest roles! [[{{HSQ}} OH]] [[{{Squee}} MY]] [[BeyondTheImpossible GOD]], [[spoiler: IS THAT THE SUPER SUIT!?]]. Yeah, this is gonna be awesome!
