Which new Saturday action gameshow deserves to wear Total Wipeout's crown? Den Of Geek investigates...
Saturday nights are all about falling over. Just look at your average British town centre and you’ll see people all over the ground, stranded where they fell. And Saturday night TV is no different.
But since the sad loss of Total Wipeout in 2012, the people of our televisions have been too upright. There just haven’t been the obstacle courses around to trip them up. That’s all changed though, with the BBC’s The Getaway Car taking on ITV’s Ninja Warrior UK in the family-friendly 7pm-ish timeslot.
But are either of them a worthy successor to the great of the genre?

Hulu has entered discussions to revive Community for that sixth season. Discussions are preliminary, but the move would make sense. The cult comedy is one of Hulu’s top shows plus the streaming service could use a signature show to draw attention to its original series.
Max Martini has joined the guest cast of the upcoming season of Covert Affairs, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Pacific Rim alum will play a former CIA agent who mysteriously went off the grid. That reminds me of another Covert Affairs character…

I was planning on telling you that LeVar Burton launched a Kickstarter to raise funds for a revived Reading Rainbow as a web show. However, it only took a few hours for Burton to hit his Kickstarter goal. That puts Reading Rainbow on a list with Veronica Mars for the quickest Kickstarter projects to meet its goal.

On the second day of the 2012 Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago, the weather went from a sweaty annoyance to a party crasher as severe storms led to the evacuation of the grounds and the cancellation of several bands' sets.
The day got off to a reportedly solid start as local favorites Jc Brooks & the Uptown Sound played an early set. Doomtree and Aloe Blacc also played earlier sets. The Chicago Sun-Times was on hand for some of the pre-storm jams.

But shortly after 3 p.m., matters took a turn for the stormy. Below are some highlights -- and photos -- from the Saturday action at Lollapalooza.
Late arrival: Due to technical difficulties compiling our monster slideshow from day one of the festival, I arrived just in time for Neon Indian's set. Only two or three songs into the set,...
