I’m a big Speed Racer fan. I watched the cartoon religiously, bought posters, made a Mach 5 pinewood derby car (see Dee Animated’s header if you have doubts)–I love it.
So when I heard the Wachowski brothers were taking on making a live-action Speed Racer, I was both excited and nervous. I loved the original Matrix [...]

When I was a kid and watching a lot of Nickelodeon, Nick-at-Nite originally really miffed me. I didn’t want to watch tired old black and white shows or shows where everybody wore way too much polyester for anybody’s good; I wanted to watch more Rocko’s Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy, and You Can’t Do That [...]

In the future mankind has colonized the ocean and is looking to police it. In comes the Seaquest with Captain Nathan [...]

I am in absolute shock right now. One of the most recognizable, funny, and influential comics of our time died yesterday. George Carlin was 71 years old when he died of heart failure. I always thought of him as one of those celebrities that would live forever.
R.I.P.
George Carlin
May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008

The Bob Newhart Show is one of my top 10 favorite TV shows of all time. Bob Newhart is hilarious and if he ever came to where I am for a stand up show I’d be there in a heartbeat. I’m a huge fan of dry comedy so I love his style.
So, since I’ve started [...]

Some shows capture our imaginations, give us something to hope for each week, and cause other people to think we are insane because we just can’t stop talking about them. Then those shows are canned and we’re left shaking our fists at the bastards that call themselves network executives. Yes, I’m bitter.
In this light, it [...]
