    Despite a strong inaugural episode, there are still some kinks to be worked out. Wheaton, channeling a nervous energy, only appeared to relax fully during a few of his jokes, but much more of the material felt stilted. It's a small thing that will surely only get more streamlined as Wheaton settles into the role.

    Mr. Wheaton is likable enough, despite the overt smugness, to support this combination of news, commentary, and summer camp skit comedy through its 30 minute time slot.

    Considering how bad the Scifi on SyFy is currently, TWWP is a singular bright spot in their lineup.    … Full Review »
