ON Networks Salutes Comic Books, Films & Geek Culture with New Internet TV Show Bif! Bam! Pow! Wow!

Hipper than a speeding bullet, more irreverent than a locomotive and able to leap tall buildings with a single quip, Internet TV show Bif! Bam! Pow! Wow! (www. bifbampowwow. tv) makes its virtual debut via ON Networks. The new program celebrates and critically reviews all that geek culture holds dear: comic books, graphic novels, movies, action figures, video games and even the occasional fantasy babe.

AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) September 6, 2007

 Bif! Bam! is hosted by Tom Seymour, a quirky Chicago comic book store manager who offers a behind-the-counter report filled with news and reviews for anyone interested in comics, superheroes, sci-fi or pop culture. Seymour takes on the role of tastemaker as he doles out his unsolicited opinions on comics and collectibles in spirited monologues, rants, and informed "Picks and Pans" segments. He is aided by fun graphics and sound effects alongside a motley crew of sidekicks, man-on-the-street interviews and occasional guest appearances.

"Bif! Bam! Pow! Wow! offers viewers a virtual tour through the Land of Geekdom, with something for everyone - from comic book aficionados to pop culture neophytes," says producer John Champion. "The show also serves as a showcase for Tom's quirky personality and unique insider perspective."

Recent episodes include a Batman-themed trip down memory lane, in which Seymour takes on the past, present and future of the Dark Knight, and a Spiderman-themed extravaganza, in which Seymour rates the best and worst Spidey comics, critiques the wall crawler's costumes over the years, and interviews Marvel Comics artist Skottie Young.

Future episodes will feature such topics as "The Simpsons," "A Hulk By Any Other Color" and "Star Trek: A New Frontier?" as well as exclusive interviews with the likes of Eugene Roddenberry, Richard Hatch, Will Wheaton and more.
