The Jersey Shore spin off you have all been waiting for is finally here. No, it’s not a loop of that clip of Snooki getting punched in the face from season one. It’s also not the long reported Snooki and Jwoww spinoff. It’s actually DJ Pauly D that is the first to get his own spinoff. Starting March 29, fans will be getting more of Pauly thanks to The Pauly D Project.

The Pauly D Project will chronicle DJ Pauly D DelVecchio’s life when he’s not in Seaside Heights or Italy with Snooki and the rest of the Jersey Shore gang. Pauly D is trying to make it as a big name DJ and this will follow his exploits along the way. We will get to watch him cut a recording contract with 50 Cent and he even tours as one of Britney Spears’ opening acts.

“It’ll be probably along the lines of, I used to be this DJ in Rhode Island, DJing two sets a week, hustling, promoting,” Pauly explained to MTV News back in January 2011. “And all of a sudden, I’m on this show, and now they’re sending private jets for me to DJ for these huge crowds, yet I’m still the same guy that was DJing for 200 people, just loving life.

America’s Got Talent is one of the top rated summer shows every year. It follows the same basic structure of all reality base competitions that promise not just a big cash prize but a career in entertainment. In all it is all a solid show anchored by three rather likable judges and a fun host.

This upcoming season will see a major shake-up in those judges as series grump-pus Piers Morgan is leaving the judges table and is begin replaced by shock jock Howard Stern. Stern’s youthful demographic and his reputation for honesty make him a great choice for the show, even if his antics are usually far more mature than expected for the family-friendly show.

Stern will be well compensated for his judging duties, and the entire show’s production is making the move to New York to accommodate Stern’s radio commitments. The show now boasts the most interesting judging panel in the realty show universe. It will be exciting to see how the relationship between Stern and his co-judges develops, and the first time Stern has to judge a stupid kid talent might be truly must see tv.

The show begins filming its audition phase this February with regular episodes starting in the Summer.

Syfy has already hit it out of the park with reality shows like Destination Truth and Face Off, but there is one show that we can’t wait for, which returns next week. That show is, of course, Urban Legends.

We’ve got a sneak peek at the upcoming season 3 premiere, titled “Best Laid Plans”, but before we get to that, here’s a breakdown of what you can expect to see.

In the Syfy series, underscoring the art of storytelling, Urban Legends asks its viewers to decipher fact from fiction.  Three tall tales are dramatically recreated and the audience must decide which is real from these stories of astronomical proportion. In the sneak peek clip of the Season Premiere of Urban Legends, a man is held at gunpoint on his own living room floor by men that look to be on the SWAT team based on their gear and clothes.

The man being held against his will can’t figure out the reasoning for the invasion in his own home, and soon realizes his two dogs have been killed and his mother-in-law has been thrown to the ground.  He sees police standing outside of his house and realizes this is no ordinary invasion while trying to reason with the masked men in telling them he hasn’t done anything wrong and that he’s the mayor.  The masked men think he must be crazy for claiming such a thing, and it all leads to an unmarked box.

Enticed? Take a look at the preview after the jump and catch the upcoming premiere on Monday at 10/9C on Syfy.

Ever dreamed about being a big time Hollywood special effects make-up artist? If so, you’re probably aware of Syfy’s recent show Face Off, which highlighted a contest between several make-up people with the winner getting $100 K and a potential career in Hollywood.

What you might not be aware of is that the show was a hit for Syfy and will be getting a second season. But wait, there’s more. The network will be holding an open casting call looking for a new crop of contestants for season two and that is all happening this weekend in Los Angeles and New York.

Who knows, it could be your big break. If you have any desire at all, it could be worth it. Besides, what have you got to lose?

Hard to believe it, but Syfy’s newest venture into reality TV, Face Off, is finally coming to an end. We’ve seen some drama, some annoying characters come and go, and some awesome makeup challenges, but this week it all comes down to one last competition, and one final winner.

In this last competition, the final three contestants are taking it back to fairy tales as they reimagine some classic stories. From Syfy:

In this second sneak peek clip of the Season Finale of Face Off, the final four contestants recreate their favorite fairy tales in their last attempt to prove their talent.  A werewolf, witch, and other creatures are being finalized.  There seems to be a positive overall tone among the contestants as they head down the final stretch, but it wouldn’t be the finals without something going awry.  Conor’s final creation appears to have a malfunction and his opportunity at being crowned the winner of Face Off may be over.

Check out the clip after the jump, and enjoy the Face Off season finale on Wednesday at 10pm, 9pm Central.

Say what you will about reality TV, but SyFy has managed to find the happy medium between the world of trashy television and the geek culture with their newest competition show, Face Off.

The show takes a group of up and coming effects makeup artists trying to make it in the business and pits them against one another in difficult, and ultimately cool-looking makeup tasks. Here’s the rundown for this week’s show.

In the next all-new episode of Face Off, Gage and Sam decide to take a major risk with the task of creating old-age makeup pieces.  They both re-assure each other that based on the last challenge, you can’t play it safe.  They’re both trying to come up with two full-face renderings in just two days which other contestants practically claim the feat as an impossibility.

We’ve got a brand new clip from this week’s show, in which the ancient art of “boob crafting” is practiced, and some of the contestants worry about going too far with their art. Check it out after the jump, and be sure to catch Face Off this Wednesday at 10/9pm Central on Syfy.

Rodeo Drive is rolling up the sidewalks for a while. The second part of the Beverly Hills Housewives Reunion has just aired and Jiggy Vanderpump is no doubt nestled in Lisa’s incredibly wealthy armpit once more. So, let’s reflect on season one.

After barely managing to get through the first episode of the Real Housewives of DC, I initially couldn’t be bothered to even record the newest franchise, Beverly Hills. Finally, in an act of holiday hiatus desperation, I settled in to give the NHOTB (much like NKOTB but sans any references to Hangin’ Tough or a Whalberg) a chance.

What stuck me was that for the most part, the women in this franchise differed from the other Bravo Housewives in two distinct ways:

These women are genuinely likable.

These women are legitimately filthy stinkin’ rich. Like, solid-gold-toilet rich.

Feel like Hollywood has run out of ideas after hearing news about things like Missile Command and Battleship, another story that will blow your mind comes to pass. Bandai is currently working with Merv Griffin Entertainment, the production company behind Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy to bring a reality gameshow based on Pac-Man to TV.

From Deadline.

The Pac-Man reality series is envisioned as a “big, crazy Wipeout-type event with a lot of energy,” said Merv Griffin’s president of TV Roy Bank. “The idea we have is to take what Pac-Man is and bring it to life, to bring what is essentially the world’s biggest game of tag to television.” Bank is executive producing the project, which is now being taken out to the broadcast networks, with David Russo, who brought the idea to him.

While this idea is pretty mind-blowing, it’s not the only Pac-Man idea in the works. Marvel super producer Avi Arad has been working on a computer animated Pac-Man series for years now, that keeps going through the woes of budgeting and distribution.

At this rate, if all goes well, you could very well be seeing two separate series based on the 1980’s video game where a yellow circle eats a bunch of ghosts. Which is surprisingly a better idea than NBC’s Kath & Kim.

Funny or Die is a website that has cultivated a rabid following by cleverly using celebrity cameos and exclusives, and providing a continuous supply of original content. You’ve probably seen a few of or more of their videos featured right here before.

The site was co-founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, and in 2008 they partnered with HBO.  According to Deadline, the site will make its first foray into television with a series tentatively titled Undercover Karaoke.   The concept is loosely based on a a popular viral video from the site called “Undercover Karaoke With Jewel.”

Basically, they disguised Jewel under a wig and makeup, and dressed her up like a businesswoman.  She hits a karaoke bar with her business buddies and when it is time for “Karen” to sing, the crowd is flabbergasted.

TBS has ordered a pilot for the show, in which real celebrities will go various places  in disguise and then perform their own songs to shocked audiences.

The pilot will be produced and created by Funny or Die, using their creative team.  So what do you think?  The Jewel video is pretty funny.  You can watch the video after the jump.

We tend to post a lot of previews for shows here at The Flickcast. We like to do it because shows we think are cool need to get as much of an audience as they can in order to stick around for awhile. We don’t want another Firefly situation on our hands, do we?

With that in mind we have a couple clips from some Syfy shows to share with you today. The first is from a brand new episode of Warehouse 13, a show that has been getting better and better with each episode. With season two now in full swing tonight’s episode, entitled “Mild Mannered,” brings the team another adventure where things are not what they seem and danger lurks around every corner. Plus, you can count on some weird artifact that is screwing everything up.

The second clip is from the season premiere of tomorrow’s Ghost Hunters International, a show that we usually watch through our hands covering our eyes. Yes, it’s pretty scary. It does have ghosts, after all.

Check out both clips after the break. Warehouse 13 airs tonight at 9/8C and Ghost Hunters International tomorrow at 9/8C only on Syfy.
