Tremors is a 2003 American television series created by S. S. Wilson, Brent Maddock, and Ron Underwood and based on the Tremors franchise. It serves as a sequel to Tremors 3: Back to Perfection . Originally airing with its episodes out of order on the Sci-Fi Channel, it was later aired in its proper sequence on the G4 Network.

Plot

The story for the TV series picks up from where Tremors 3: Back to Perfection left off. It follows the residents of Perfection Valley attempting to co-exist with an albino Graboid (El Blanco) while dealing with problems caused by failed government experiments, mad scientists, or ruthless real-estate developers. When initially-aired by Syfy, the episodes were shown out of order, with Episode 1 ("Feeding Frenzy") and Episode 6 ("Ghost Dance") shown on the premiere night. The second episode produced, "Shriek and Destroy", was the final episode shown. This out-of-order airing required the re-editing of various episodes. Changes included a new opening sequence for Episode 5 ("Project 4-12"), which aired as the eighth episode. This episode also introduced the character Cletus Poffenburger (played by Christopher Lloyd). The re-edited episode explained Cletus' appearance in a flashback sequence, occurring prior to Episode 6, "Ghost Dance", which had actually aired as the second in the series.

Tyler Reed, the new owner of Desert Jack's Graboid Adventure, arrives in Perfection and must help Burt Gummer determine why El Blanco is eating far more than he should. Meanwhile, Melvin Plug is trying once again to buy out Perfection, this time to erect a strip-mall called "Melville." Twitchell nearly forces Burt to kill El Blanco, but Burt spots a weird glinting light and shoots that instead, destroying the device that is driving El Blanco insane with hunger. The goon Melvin hired to do this demands payment after barely evading Burt and summons El Blanco when Melvin refuses, but is eaten by El Blanco before he can do anything else. Melvin is discovered by Burt, who scolds him, despite Melvin maintaining his innocence. Back in town, everyone accepts Tyler as part of the Perfection family. [2]

A green cloud appears in an abandoned silver mine. After miners are found to be severely dehydrated, Burt, Twitchell and Tyler investigate the mine to discover the gas themselves. The gas is actually a hydrophilic bacteria that was the project of a nearby laboratory. After being boarded up, the lab came into contact with Mixmaster, a compound that blends non-human DNA designed to create living weapons for the government. Knowing that it will be drawn to the town for moisture, they decide to trap it in a special container using a makeshift vacuum cleaner built by Tyler and scientist Cletus, who worked in the lab. The National Guard was sent to evacuate all the townsfolk before a strike from a napalm bombing occurs. Jodi and Rosalita stall them by summoning El Blanco and using him to block the road. Thanks to a distraction by Nancy and Cletus, the men finish the device and Tyler sucks the creature in. They then have Twitchell send it away for proper government storage. However, the cloud spreaded Mixmaster while traversing through the area. Soon, the wildlife and plant life will mutate into new creatures. [3]

A government team in Perfection is training shriekers for rescue missions. But a storm shorts out the devices controlling them, and the shriekers run rampant, killing most of the team. The three shriekers multiply and each original shrieker leads its own group. The Perfectionites prepare to hunt down the shriekers before they can multiply or leave the valley, but are resisted by the project's lead scientist, who wishes to recapture them instead. Knowing better, the locals lure the creatures into a trap at Burt's home and start killing them. The scientist, however, destroys Burt's ammo to stop them. This forces Nancy, Twitchell and Jodi to flee to the safe room, but end up stuck there thanks to a bullet wedged in the hinge. The scientist flees to her truck and tries to coax one of the shriekers into it; however, its control collar is off, causing it to kill her and the driver. The last group tries to sneak up Burt's escape tunnel after trying to dig down into the bunker. Nancy throws a bomb into the tunnel, killing the last of the shriekers. [4]

However, before he and Tyler can go to work and kill the thing, two people from Vegas arrive. They reveal themselves to be hired hands for Sigmund and Ray, the magicians to whom Nancy sold the ass-blaster to in Tremors 3: Back to Perfection , to recover their ass-blaster, Messerschmitt, after poachers failed to kidnap it. However, they severely screw up their first attempt to capture the ass-blaster and one of the hired hands nearly dies. Realizing it is now too smart to be fooled by a ground trap, Burt decides to use a hang-glider to launch a snack for Messerschmitt. They end up successful and tie up Messerschmitt. Burt hands it over to Sigmund and Ray's hired hands to be returned to Vegas. [5]

However, some of the team are killed by the highly powerful "stomach acid" of the hybrid, leaving their skeletons behind. At the end of the episode Larry asks Cletus about time travel experiments, a nod to Christopher Lloyd's previous role as Doc Brown of Back to the Future fame and they seem to get along well while talking about the concept. The Mixmaster plant is finally killed by Tyler using poison just before it can spread seeds, but one seed survives in Larry's car. However, when it falls to the ground, it is squashed underfoot by Burt, destroying the mutant plant for good. [6]

Frank vows revenge on El Blanco and to retrieve the key after calling in backup from a sinister member of the mob (Michael Rooker). However, things backfire yet again for the third mobster when El Blanco accidentally launches a harpoon through him due to Burt interfering with them.

Over the last six months, people in Toluca, New Mexico, led by radio personality Cecil Car, have believed that aliens are responsible for the disappearances. However, it is actually a graboid eating people. Knowing better than the townsfolk, Twitchell sends Burt and Tyler to investigate. However, the townspeople think a conspiracy is going on and Burt was sent as a government plant to cover it up. The townsfolk even disable the seismographs Burt sets up to track the graboid, believing them to be government devices to repel aliens. Ultimately, Tyler invents a story that the graboid is an alien and eventually kills it with Burt's M82A2. The townsfolk accept them as heroes while still believing that Burt is a government agent.

After a long hunt, Burt is forced to kill 4–12 with a homemade flamethrower, much to Cletus' sadness. 4-12 is given a proper burial by the townsfolk, hoping to cheer Cletus up a bit, allowing him to join the town's population.

It is ultimately revealed that one of the activists was poisoning El Blanco to prove her story for the head of the activists, but El Blanco accidentally swallows a fatal dose when he eats the lackey who had been leaving the poison out and beaches himself in town to die. Burt and the doctor manage to create an antidote and El Blanco is saved by Mindy, who tosses it into his mouth with her softball skills. With El Blanco saved, the activists leave town and Mindy is returned to college after dumping the activist leader, whom Twitchell has arrested for all the acts of vandalism and sabotage he had committed.

Mixmaster has created a deadly swarm of mutated insects that infest the valley and kill a herd of horses and two construction workers. Making matters worse, El Blanco is both driven away and kept away by the high pitched sound the swarm of bugs make to disorient their prey before devouring it. Being extra sensitive to high frequency sounds, El Blanco heads toward the base of the mountains to stay alive. Meanwhile, since Burt is out of town, Tyler must work with a woman who seems to have a lot in common with the survivalist, even though she claims they would dislike each other in person. Also, Larry is back, apparently to stay. Working together, the three trap the bugs in road tar using termite mating calls and kill them by lighting them on fire with gasoline. As a said nuisance, the townsfolk have to put up with Larry, who has decided to move to Perfection as it suits his taste in weirdness. After Larry helps kill the bugs, Nancy allows him to stay in Mindy's old room for a while, but plans to kick him out when he cannot find and/or build a place of his own. [11]

Burt gets the sheriff, an old friend of his, to let Tyler go, but is furious that Tyler tried to take care of the situation without him. Tyler ends up having to deal with it himself while Burt is gone and lays a trap with Rosalita and Twitchell's help in the river and kills the monster with dry ice. Twitchell helps by driving his car into the river to create a barrier against the shrimp. Afterwards, Rosalita yells at Tyler and Burt, reminding them that they are partners and have not been acting as such. The two men make up and Burt, who has earned a lot of money from a lecture he just gave, refuses half the reward money, saying that Tyler earned it. The two then remind Rosalita that only the three of them know the truth about where Melvin's Mixmaster contaminated water came from and he would be desperate to cover that up. Rosalita uses this to blackmail Melvin for thousands of dollars. [13]

After scolding the operative, Burt heads to the mill, where the agent is eaten by the now-army of shriekers before escaping into a pipe that leads to the fair. Burt and Tyler run out of bullets and visit a house with a "famous" gun collection, but it turns out to be Civil War muskets. When the local baseball team shows up, Burt organizes them into a firing squad that kills all the shriekers.

Production

Tremors: The Series was produced at the same time as Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. The show was mistakenly believed to be a replacement for the canceled Farscape , which led to a massive uproar from Farscape's fan base, despite the fact that production for Tremors had begun several months prior to the cancellation of Farscape.

Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson had penned up a Tremors-based TV show as far back as 1993, under the titles Val & Earl: Monster Hunters, Tremors: The Lost Monsters, and Tremors: The Adventures of Val & Earl. Many plot and monster ideas from this failed television series would be recycled for Tremors: The Series, such as a giant shrimp, flesh-eating insects, and shriekers attacking an amusement park. Production took place at Fox Studios Baja Peninsula facilities and on locations in nearby Rosarito, Mexico.

The pilot episode premiered on March 28, 2003, and broke records for the Sci-Fi Channel, becoming the network's highest-rated debut episode for a new series, and becoming one of the most-watched events in the history of the channel. While the show would continue to perform well, the number of views per episode drastically declined over the ensuing months, failing to hit Farscape 's projected prime time air slot demographic numbers and was eventually deemed too expensive to continue. Tremors was canceled after one half-season of 13 episodes.

After a review, comparing the episode numbers and episode names using the series purchased on iTunes and cross-referencing it with the episode information listed in Amazon Prime video, it seems that both locations have matching incorrect information in that the episodes are numbered in order that they were broadcast (not correct chronological order for continuity). It also appears that the series is no longer available for purchase/download from iTunes or Amazon Prime video as of 11 April 2021.

Home video release

Half of the show was made available on iTunes in September 2008 but many episodes were still missing. It was later made fully available on Hulu and through Amazon.com's Unbox video download service in November 2009, with several episodes finally becoming widely seen for the first time since their original airings six years prior.

On March 9, 2010, Universal Studios Home Entertainment finally released the complete series on a three-disc DVD set. The set contains all 13 episodes in their original production order and no bonus features. The set also contains the re-edited version of the episode “Project 4-12” with the alternate beginning and ending scenes.

Cancelled revival

In 2017, Syfy announced that it had ordered a pilot episode for a new television series in the franchise. [15] Kevin Bacon was hired to reprise his role from the first film. Vincenzo Natali was set to direct the pilot. [16] The following year in April, Bacon said via his Instagram account that "the network has decided not to move forward". [17]
