Hello Frequent Flyers and Welcome aboard our 31st episode, Scream Queens.

 

 Are you afraid of being stalked by a dude in a devil outfit? Or being horribly murdered by said devil? Do you have flashbacks to your days in Uni, and being made fun of by Sorority girls? Well have we got a show that will have you drinking to forget!

This Glee/American Horror Story mashup hits some sour notes, but should you watch along, or will you leave this show dead and buried. Sorry crew, this is a phantom plane and no one gets off until they watch.

Hello Frequent Flyers and Welcome Aboard our 30th Flight, Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Join us this month of October for some truly spooky pilots. The first of which is that Canadian classic, Are You Afraid of the Dark.

Follow us if you want to get lost in the woods, find a creepy cabin, answer mysterious riddles...and maybe...Sorta DIE (or just take a different cab, I don't know your life.)

How did you even get aboard...after all...this flight has been off the air for fifteen years.

Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our 29th Episode, Rita.

 

Some of you aboard this flight might recall a beloved teacher, from your way away days of youth. Did they make you memorise poetry? Or teach you how to craft a perfect theorem?

Or were they like Rita, obsessively collecting Troll Dolls, and smoking in the bathrooms. Did your teacher have a bard? Were you ever really taught even?

Well throw your thoughts back to the days of your own schooling and compare notes as we fly along with Rita.

Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our 28th episode: PicnicFace.

Some of you might recall one of our most popular beverages aboard this flight: PowerThirst!!!

You'll be pleased to hear this Canadian Internet sensation has provided us not with one power thirst, but several, all sprawled out over the course of an entire television episode. 

Have you ever wanted to see how Ad companies decide to sell their products? (Bears karate chopping a helicopter piloted by a cabbage) Or watch people get part time jobs? Now you can! 

Buckle up, this flight may get rowdy.

Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our 27th Episode, Killjoys.

This is a special message from your favourite airline corporation. We understand you could have flown with anyone else today, but you  - oh, what's that? There's only one shadowy Company ruling the world and you have only yourself and your guns to trust? Oh, carry on then.

You wouldn't happen to be  a bounty hunter wouldja, you know, a Killjoy? No, our flight isn't named Serenity, and there's no Captain Mal Reynolds but we have a lot of things like it so maybe you'll consider staying aboard a wee bit longer. 

Not that you could get off the flight anyways...because we are also now in Space. Did we forget to mention that? And you thought you were headed to Seattle.

Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our 26th episode, Undeclared.

Folks, we'd like to greet all of our college-aged flyers today, and welcome them back to that month of learning, Learntember.

Are you ready to party? Get chicks? Meet the people who will be your life long compadres, who will totally hi-five you and talk your Dad out of ruining his marriage?

TCH'YA of Course you are. 

SO maybe you don't have everything figured out yet. No one does, so really, you're all in the same boat. Or plane as it were. With severely underqualified pilots.

 

Enjoy your flight!

Hello Frequent Flyers and Welcome Aboard our 25th Episode, Galavant.

Our in flight music today has been graciously provided by a down-on-his-luck Knight, a not-so-pure maiden, a Squire, a Princess with a fantastic memory, a King who just wants to get laid, and his loyal guardsman, who is 110% done with this shit.

If you're looking for sword fights, noble deeds, jesters and more....well you came to the wrong place - but hey, if you check it out, Ricky Gervais and Weird Al are in a few episodes!

And damn it if it isn't catchy...And no, you can't turn it off until we reach cruising altitude.

Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our 24th Episode, UnReal.

Time to peek behind that Velvet Curtain Frequent Flyers. Let's break the fourth wall a little bit.

Romance? Manufactured. Chemistry, made up bullshit. Hey, keep an eye on our Villain we gotta starve her out so she acts appropriately terrible. 
HEY - Keep those cameras rolling, we got a show to do people.

Look, you want to know what it's like, having a big fancy reality tv show, or do you want to live in la-la-land where flowers fall from the sky and candles sprout around you like daisies and Unicorns ride around on rainbows? 

Wake up and smell the sponsors, we got shit to do.

Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our 23rd Episode, Mr. Robot.

This is your Captain Speaking. Folks, let's get real here.

Do you have a nagging feeling that your life is no longer in your own control? That the path you've chosen to follow seems more like some carefully constructed trap, and you fell for it? Ever wish you could just...fix things somehow? Maybe by...hacking?

Have you ever heard of (whisper) F Society? (/whisper)

Join us and find out who they are...but keep it on the downlow...I think we're being followed.

Hello Frequent Flyers and Welcome aboard our 22nd episode: The X-Files.

We would like to invite all of our passengers to turn to their neighbors, and ask them if their deep seated beliefs include life of the extraterrestrial variety. Now if you could ramp the sexual tension up, you provide the smoldering we'll provide the aliens. Look out the window! A saucer! 

Or flood lamps that the baggage crew didn't turn off. Same same.

You may not believe when you step aboard our flight, but by God you'll want to.

Hello Frequent Flyers, and welcome aboard our 21st Episode, CSI: Cyber.

Some of you may be aware that a plane is full of delicate instrument, each one perfectly tuned and necessary for the full operation of the aircraft. 

Now imagine if you will, that everything you loved was torn assunder and they filled the cockpit of the aircraft with the remnants of your now, patchwork life. But now the shades of who you were float about the aircraft, saying buzzwords like: The Dark Web, and Hacking, and Babies. 

And then your plane is filled with Spiders.

To all of our passengers, born and raised in Philadelphia, we'd like to remind them that chilling out, maxin, relaxin all cool is not prohibited in the first class cabin.

Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our Nineteenth flight, Mozart in the Jungle. 

We ask all passengers to remove their headsets before take off, and instead enjoy the musical stylings of an Oboist who knows how to TURN UP. 

Incidentally there will a massive party where there will be a wood-wind-off, and you may find that and our previous pilot has been replaced with a newer hotter pilot who likes giving away flowers.

This flight will not, incidentally, be for our younger flyers.

Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our eighteenth episode, Gravity Falls. 

You may find as we reach crusing altitude, and you peer out your window, that you may see a monster on the wing of the aircraft. This monster is 100% real and you should have read about it in your handy yet mysterious journal. 

For all siblings aboard the aircraft, we suggest you stick together, because growing up is tough, and sharing an armrest may be even tougher.

Also, avoid the gnomes, maybe?

 

Did you find a mysterious journal in a hollow tree in the woods? Tell us all about it on our Facebook Page

Yeti, Bigfoot, Bighand? Or is it...THE MODERN SUPERIOR

We are also carrying a variety pack, where people of colour exist and get storylines. 

We only accept major credit cards, and of course, your baffled exhiliartion.

Hello Frequent Flyers and Welcome aboard our Sixteenth Flight: Alias

We ask that all passengers aboard this flight wear their seatbelts, and refrain from telling their loved ones about their super secret life, lest their loved ones get unceremoniously terminated.

We also ask that all passengers turn their 90's cellular devices off, just in case their Nokia has been bugged, and they're listening to us...even now.

Turned off? Good. Your mission, if you chose to accept it, is to gather intel on the other shows on the Modern Superior - one of them is a MOLE. 

You can report back to us on Facebook who you think the mole is.

Review your mission notes on the iTunes page

You can drop the information package on the Contribution Page, and let us know what you've found out.

Hello Frequent Flyers and Welcome aboard our fourteenth flight - iZombie.

In partnership with our airlines, we'd like to introduce the newest designer drug on the market, Utopium. 

Do you have your whole life planned out? Perfect partner, perfect job in which you excel? 

Have you ever thought - 'Hey, I could use a little yacht party massacre to spice things up'?

Think: Utopium.

 

You can purchase this new wonderdrug from any of our stewards just after we reach cruising altitude. 

Warning: Utopium may cause undeath, a sudden craving for the sweet nectar of brains, and a radical new hairstyle. 

 

Ask your Morgue-Professional if Utopium is right for you.

 

Know what is right for you? These awesome links.

Hello Frequent Flyers and Welcome aboard our thirteenth flight - Daredevil

We would like to take this moment to point out to passengers on our left side of the plane that if they look down, they may see the gaping hellmouth that is New York. (It's like New York itself is a Character, eh Nora Ephron?)

Those on the right side of the plane will be exposed to toxic goop. Enjoy your new super power, tumors. Or, if you're a handsome Charlie Cox, the ability to see.

We would like to remind passengers that our legal department has been on the job longer than 7 hours. We just like to point that out.

We would also like to point out that you can find us on FacebookLibsyn, or iTunes.

Hello Frequent Flyers and Welcome aboard our fourteenth flight - Over the Garden Wall.

We apologise for the inconvenience but today your flight has been replaced with a vast amount of wandering in a forest. Your may find it safest to: (1) stick together, (2) stay away from that weirdo Woodsman, and (3) offer your assistance to woodland animals stuck in a pickle.

You may find yourself in sudden and great peril. We advise that you help yourself before you help siblings travelling with you.

As a final consideration, we suggest you avoid traversing the unknown altogether - unless you want to meet enraged dogs with beautiful eyes.

You can find us on Facebook, Libsyn, or iTunes.

Hey Cadets, and welcome aboard our eleventh pilot, The Musketeers.

Due to a shortage of space, we ask that passengers only have one name. We've also changed our destination from anywhere else in the world to Paris. While there, we wish you a pleasant journey amongst gloomy rain filled Vengeance-tours, with your three closest friends. 

Who are they? Does it matter? They're all the same anyways. 
 
During this flight you get to see Peter Capaldi be a villain, that guy from the Hobbit, and Lancelot from Merlin. Your flight deck is sure the other people are important too, but are they, really?
 
We understand you may be confused on the names, and we appreciate your understanding. Any at all. Honestly, do you understand what's happening? 
Well, as we always say aboard this airlines, all for one and one for all.That's a lie, we've never said that. It's every pilot for themselves out here.
