Being Human on Syfy (not to be confused with the BBC version) is one of those shows I was aware of but never really got into. With a TV landscape crowded with programming it’s often difficult to find time for new shows.

Fortunately, I decided to give this show a chance and was immediately glad I did. It’s a fun combination of elements that come together to create an effective and entertaining way to spend some time.

Sadly, the show’s season is coming to an end tonight (don’t worry, it will be back). The good news is that we have a sneak preview of tonight’s season finale to share with you.

In this clip we see Aidan, Josh and Sally who are the best of friends. Aidan protects Sally when her ex-living-boyfriend tried to burn her house down, Josh prevents Aidan from being murdered by a disguised nurse, and Sally runs to Aidan’s aid when he was staked by a vengeful vampire. See what I mean? Fun.

Watch the video after the jump. The Being Human season finale airs tonight at 9/8C on Syfy.

The series premiere of Syfy’s newest show, Being Human, broke records this week, as it pulled in a total of 2 million views in it’s 9pm timeslot. It seems that fans of horror and sci-fi still wanted more of the world after The Walking Dead was unleashed on the world back in October.

Now, the network is planning on continuing that trend next Monday with it’s second episode, part two of “There Goes The Neighborhood”. From Syfy:

In the next all-new episode, Josh starts to become uneasy about having Sally’s former fiancé Danny over to the house.  Uneasy is probably a lighthearted term compared to Josh’s state of concern.  Sally begs and pleads but Josh fears Danny could potentially sell the place or turn it into an amusement if he’s able to see Sally as a ghost.  Aidan stays calm and collected as usual.  Will Danny see Sally or will he pass right by her?  You will have to watch the clip and tune in to the next episode airing Monday, January 24th at 9/8c on Syfy.

You heard them, you WILL have to tune in next week to find out exactly what happens to Sally and the gang, but in the meantime you can check out a sneak peek of the episode after the jump.

We live in a fast-paced world where nobody has any time for anything anymore. Even a 30-minute comedy takes up too much time and DVR’s are blowing through most of them. With that in mind, Syfy has broken down the crux of Being Human season one into two solid minutes.

Much like the network has done in the past for such shows as Battlestar Galactica or even sister shows like V or Lost, this is a race through everything you need to know about the upcoming series, breaking it down to literally the lowest common denominator.

Based on the BBC series of the same name, Being Human follows three friends that live together. The only difference here is that one is a vampire, one’s a werewolf, and one is the spirit of the girl who was killed in the apartment.

A little bit Twilight. a little bit Friends. Just the right combination to pull in a crowd from every demographic. Check out the two minute summary after the jump, and catch the premiere on Monday, January 17th at 9/8 central only on Syfy.

Last year, the UK got a taste of what it would be like if a werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost all lived together in an apartment. Some of the smart folks at Syfy got wind of this and have decided to adapt the original series for us here in the states, bringing some Being Human for the very first time.

For those who don’t know, the series follows the lives of Aidan, a 200 year old vampire, Sally, a ghost who’s trapped in the house she was killed in, and Josh, a young man who was turned into a werewolf nearly 2 years ago. The three befriend each other and live together in a house hoping to move past their supernatural afflictions and cling to what little humanity they have left.

Aside from the new cast, one major element changed from the BBC series is the addition of the character Bishop, played by Mark Pellegrino, who most know as the mysterious Jacob from ABC’s Lost. Bishop’s role is explained, as well as the rest of the series, in the sneak peek after the jump.

Catch Syfy’s Being Human on Monday, January 17th at 9/8c.

Now that we’re counting down to the finale of Lost in just hours, it’s fair to say that everybody is throwing their hat into the ring of Lost fanaticism. Jimmy Kimmel is at the top of that list with new Lost material just about every night, and he’ll have even more as he hosts a final goodbye to the cast in a special episode Sunday night.

In the meantime, he’s still cranking out some pretty solid skits and packages with some great cameo appearances by actors from the show. We already brought you a hilarious clip of the Parker Bros’ version of the game that Jacob and the Man in Black play, and now Jimmy explains how Jacob (Mark Pellegrino) has touched his life.

Check out the clip after the jump of when Jacob visited a young Jimmy Kimmel in high school, and be sure to keep an eye on ABC starting at 7pm EST Sunday night, as the block of Lost and Jimmy Kimmel Live will be enough to satisfy even the biggest of Lost fanatics.
