Welcome back, True Believers! Last week, the Agents took on the otherworldly threats originating from Asgard, Thor’s HQ.  This week, in an episode titled “Repairs”, the team tackles a threat that could potentially be supernatural (surprising that this one wasn’t aired before Halloween).  Danger, intrigue, and romance are sure to be found in this episode that promises to delve further into Agent Melinda May’s backstory.  Hit the jump for our recap of tonight’s episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

One of the most talked about freshman TV shows is the ABC drama Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. With Clark Gregg reprising his role as Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films, the team of highly select Agents investigate the new, the strange and the unknown, across the globe, in order to protect the ordinary from the extraordinary.  The show also stars Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge and Chloe Bennet.

During this exclusive interview with Collider, executive producers/writers Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon talked about what it’s like to do a show with such a crazy level of secrecy, having a solid two-year plan for the series, finding a balance between drawing on the already existing Marvel universe and creating their own characters, including Easter eggs, what it’s like to run a show of this size, their hope that Cobie Smulders will return, especially now that she’s wrapping things up on How I Met Your Mother this season, the possibility of bringing in some other familiar faces from the Whedonverse, and Jed’s desire to direct an episode.  They also talked about how surprised they’ve been with the lasting success of Dr. Horrible, and how they still hope to make a sequel, some day.

On this week’s episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., entitled “The Well”, the gang finds themselves dealing directly with a threat spawning from the recently released, Thor: The Dark World. It’s certainly an interesting decision to see Marvel tying their universes so closely together with the television series being affected by the events of a movie that was released only two weeks ago.  However, as Asgardian shenanigans run amok, does this mean the audience will be granted with an appearance by a god of mischief or thunder?  Will this tie-in prove successful both critically and in the ratings for the agents?  Hit the jump to find out.

Tuesday evening’s TV ratings are in.  Here’s a brief look at the highlights:

• ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. dropped yet again (surprise, surprise), notching a series low 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demo and scoring 6.63 million viewers.
• On the flipside, new comedy series The Goldbergs rose 13% from last week’s series low 1.5 rating to a 1.7 rating and 5.18 million viewers.
• Also up was ABC’s other positively reviewed new comedy series Trophy Wife, which earned a 1.2 rating and 3.81 million viewers for a rise of 9% over last week’s 1.1 rating.

Hit the jump for the full ratings report for Tuesday, November 12th, including New Girl, Person of Interest, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Supernatural, Chicago Fire, and more.

With Marvel’s announcement last week that they will be partnering with Netflix to produce four superhero based television shows, in the form of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones respectively, has the once-palpable excitement for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. waned even further?  This week, the group attempts to save Agents Ward and Fitz after their deployment on a “Level 8” mission.  What makes a Level 8 mission more dangerous than a Level 7?  Will the characters of the show be able to save their co-workers in time and what secrets await them?  Hit the jump for our recap of “The Hub”.

Hello, true believers!  After a week’s break, we are back to the love/hate relationship that is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  In tonight’s episode, titled “F.Z.Z.T.,” the Fury gang finds itself taking on an elusive killer where “no one is safe!” The episode is the precursor to the tie-in episode to this weekend’s much anticipated sequel, Thor: The Dark World, but will F.Z.Z.T. be able to stand on its own? Hit the jump for my review. 

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our first crossover between Marvel’s TV show and feature film divisions.  Just in time for sweeps, the November 19th episode of ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is set to deal directly with the aftermath of Thor: The Dark World, picking up where the feature film leaves off.  In an effort to make this whole thing as nerdy as possible, Star Trek alum Jonathan Frakes is directing the episode.  The official logline for “The Well” is as follows:

“In the aftermath of the events chronicled in the feature film Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World, Coulson and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pick up the pieces–one of which threatens to destroy a member of the team.”

Hit the jump for more on the crossover, including whether any Thor castmembers will be popping up.  Thor: The Dark World opens in U.S. theaters on November 8th.

Previously, on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson and the gang matched wits with a rogue agent with abilities stemming from her cybernetic eye.  Skye and Agent Grant got into espionage hijinks as Fitz and Simmons made witty retorts.  The “Cavalry” showed off some of her fighting prowess, Agent Coulson revealed a bit more of his past, and viewership overall waned.  Tonight’s episode, “Girl in the Flower Dress”, finds the team stumbling across a new super soldier. Will this episode be enough to bring folks back into the fold?  Hit the jump for our recap.

Tuesday evening’s TV ratings are in.  Here’s a brief look at the highlights:

• A vastly improved episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. garnered a 2.7 rating in the 18-49 demo and 7.68 million viewers, dropping 7% from last week’s 2.9 rating and dropping to second place amongst scripted programming for the night.  Read Evan’s recap of the episode here.
• On the flipside, CBS’ NCIS rebounded to a 3.0 rating and 18.43 million viewers for a rise of 7% over last week’s 2.8 rating, making it the highest-rated scripted program of the night in the coveted 18-49 demo.
• Over on Fox, New Girl slipped again to a 1.8 rating and 3.48 million viewers, dropping 14% from last week’s 2.1 rating.

Hit the jump for the full ratings report for Tuesday, October 15th, including Dads, The Mindy Project, Person of Interest, The Goldbergs, and more.

Last time, on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the gang fought against the insidious motivations of Quinn and foreshadowed the villainous, Graviton, making an appearance in the future.  On tonight’s episode, entitled “Eye-Spy”, Coulson is faced with leading his newly formed team against a former protege who has gone rogue.  Will the recently-picked-up-for-a-full-season show deliver the goods this week?  Will Coulson’s time in Tahiti be further explored? Is he secretly the Vision/an LMD/Clone/Doctor Octopus in disguise?  Hit the jump to find out.

In a surprise to no one, ABC has ordered a full season of the new drama series Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  Though the show has shed a considerable amount of its audience since its record-breaking debut, S.H.I.E.L.D. still manages to pull in decent numbers and generates a fair amount of buzz for each episode.  In a moviegoing climate where comic book adaptations are king and Marvel is the overlord, ABC would be crazy to not at least see how a full season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. pans out.

Critics have not exactly been kind to the series for its first three episodes, and its supporting cast has thus far failed to be anything close to compelling, but hopefully the show overcomes these growing pains in the weeks to come.  The full season pick-up ensures that audiences will be treated to at least 22 episodes of Coulson and Co. (or Clone Coulson and Co.), assuming some catastrophic ratings drop doesn’t arise.  Catch up on Evan’s recap of the show’s first three episodes here and hit the jump for the full press release.

Tuesday evening’s TV ratings are in.  Here’s a brief look at the highlights:

• The season premiere of The CW’s Supernatural earned a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.5 million viewers, marking a rise from last season’s 0.8 premiere rating.  The episode was the show’s most-watched season premiere since 2010.
• ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn’t evened out just yet, as last night’s episode dropped half a ratings point from last week’s 3.3 rating to a 2.8 rating and scored 7.79 million viewers.  Read Evan’s full recap here.
• Finally some good news for Fox’s New Girl, as last night’s episode hit a 2.1 rating and 4 million viewers for a rise of two tenths from last week’s 1.9 rating.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D has landed, and it has certainly left its mark with an Avengers share of the viewership.  With over 20 million viewers having seen the first episode (factoring in DVR viewings, repeat airings, and online viewing), ABC/Disney studios is certainly happy with the pilot’s performance.  As for the show itself, when last we left our heroes in the first episode: the team has been assembled, a mysterious villain lurks in the shadows, and Coulson’s car flew through the air with the greatest of ease.  Tonight’s episode, entitled “0-8-4”, promised surprises for both the protagonists and the audience itself with a surprise mystery guest.
