Tremors: The TV Series Overview

Tremors: The Series aired their episodes incredibly out of order. The episodes were aired like this: 1, 6, 7, 3, 9, 4, 8, 5, 10, 12, 13, 11, and finally 2. This screwed all the chances of the TV show ever succeeding. It was truly a nice addition and continuation to the first three movies. The TV series aired from March 28,2003 to August 8, 2003. The series laid dormant for a number of years, but then finally after a lot of patience from fans, the studio brought the TV series out on DVD. The DVD was released on March 9, 2010. It was also the first time that the series was presented in it's proper episode order, a true plus for fans. For Tremors fans, the truest collector's item to find has been the 13 episode TV series and now finally people can experience it the way it was meant to be seen. Tremors: The Series was short lived, only because the Sci-Fi channel aired the episodes out of order, truly a shame. Fans should be rejoicing for now the complete Tremors phenomenon is available to own!

Tremors: The Key Review

The Key originally aired on July 25, 2003. I was really torn with this episode before I watched it. I was psyched that the TV show was coming to a close, but I also felt really sad. This was the last time I would ever watch something Tremors related for the first time. It was a weird experience. Michael Gross again isn't in this episode. What's especially interesting about the series finale is how many questions are left unanswered: what was the bat like creature in this episode, what will Larry do with the key to the $20 million, will they ever find the lab, and how many more mutations could there possibly be in Perfection? It was bittersweet. I was so ready for it to end and I'm very glad that I finally got around to watching the TV series.

Tremors: The Sounds of Silence Review

The Sounds of Silence originally aired on July 18, 2003. Another new creature is introduced in this episode and it's nasty. A bug infestation is really scary and creepy to me. Also, the huge explosion at the end, it's the best thing we've seen since the end of Tremors II: Aftershocks. This is the first Tremors thing to not include Michael Gross. It was very strange, but oddly enough the episode worked fine without him, hahaha. It's a little jarring not having Burt, but refreshing in the same way.

Tremors: Water Hazard Review

Water Hazard originally aired on August 1, 2003. This episode added yet another new creature. It was a little odd that the creature was a dinosaur shrimp thing, but hey, what else could be new in Perfection? This episode was a great watch though. What was bad, however, was the camerawork during the attacks. It was so confusing and jumbled. It was just bad. It may have been meant to be like that, but I just don't like that kind of camerawork.

Tremors: Graboid Rights Review

Graboid Rights originally aired on July 11, 2003. It's always interesting to see old characters return. It's always a joy to see what the writers are going to do with Mindy. How she's grown from being a small child to a college activist, it's amazing. She's become one of the smartest characters they've ever written. I did find it strange that Nancy felt sorrow if the graboid died. I found it odd from all of them. They wanted all of the graboids to die at the end of the first one. Have they forgotten how dangerous these creatures are??? This was an ok episode. I mean, it did add to the Mindy character, but it's still nothing great.

Tremors: Flora or Fauna Review

Flora or Fauna originally aired on April 18, 2003. This episode did add something else to the Tremors mythos. It amazes me how much scarier each time these new creatures are than the ones they originally came up with. These creatures are nightmarish, truly. This was another great episode. There was a reference to the first movie. Fred's severed head now becomes a part of the mugs in Chang's. Making the image of an actual person's severed head a part of your merchandise I find truly sickening and bizarre. I don't know what this TV show's trying to get at, but it's very strange. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I might miss the TV show when it ends. The charm of television has done wonders for this series. It's amazing how much it added to the storyline.

Tremors: A Little Paranoia Among Friends Review

A Little Paranoia Among Friends originally aired on June 20, 2003. This was another episode that seems to have added nothing to the series. Another grabboid, people don't believe him, they think it's UFO abductions, blah, blah, blah. How many stories can you honestly tell about an underground worm? Although, the series isn't BAD, it's not great either. There's very many stand alone episodes that add NOTHING to the Tremors landscape. The ones that do are great. This one had one interesting tidbit though. The password to enter Burt's house was his ex-wife's name from the first movie. This is very fascinating. They've been divorced since before the second movie. He still has feelings for her, even if he doesn't flat out say it. Burt Gummer with a heart. That's entertaining TV, but that's about 30 seconds out of the whole episode. It's your call if you think 30 seconds is worth it.
