Punch Drunk TV 120: Ted Bundy, Carmen Sandiego and The Black Dahlia … Oh My!

This week, we’re faced with a bunch of horror reboots for the small-screen which could be good or bad news, depending on how you look at it. We also touch on those big TV winners from this past weekend’s SAG Awards — and you’ll never guess who won Best Stunt Ensemble. Jack’s wife, JoEllen, wants to know … have you accomplished any of your New Year’s Resolutions? Or are you like Aaron and prefer to make goals, instead?

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK:

• A “Resident Evil” TV series, from the same people behind the movies, is in the works at Netflix. 
• Nick Antosca is developing a “Child’s Play” TV series with original movie creator Don Mancini at SYFY. And according to Antosca, “Chucky can say ‘fuck’ on SYFY.”
• CBS All Access has ordered a 10-episode mini-series remake of “The Stand.” 
• Season 2 of “Killing Eve” will air on both BBC America and AMC to broaden its reach.
• “Rent Live” was Fox’s lowest-rated musical. Only 3.42 million people tuned in during the three-hour long event — which definitely wasn’t “live.”
