Back to the Future

Futurama is coming back for a 5th season. Wired has everything you need to know in an insanely in depth look at the show that I don't think has ever been done for the semi-short lived animated series.

Why the revival? Well...

But Futurama refused to die. Cartoon Network began airing reruns in January 2003, and they were greeted with wild enthusiasm. "It was beating late-night talk shows in key demographics, like 18- to 34-year-old men," Cohen says. The show has also been a hit on DVD. Sales figures are closely guarded, but one of the nerdier writers calculated that, based on their residual checks, the total gross to date is more than $100million.

Money talks.

Sell-out

Internet celebrities making it big... terrible.

Does Tom Brady wear Axe or something?

Andrea Kramer is two drin... seconds away from being on that Joe Namath.



Check out Deadspin for commentary funnier than I can provide.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about this

Possible cast of the upcoming Justice League of America movie.

I'm already worried. And I don't even like DC Comics heroes.

Song of the week

Shawty Lo f. Young Jeezy, E-40, Plies & Gorilla Zoe, "They Know (Remix)

Good ol' mindless hood sh*t just in time for the weekend (despite the fact I heard the song 2 weeks ago and the Fader posted it Monday).

I generally hate what ESPN has done to sports

But this would forgive all their sins.

FNL is arguably the best TV drama on television and it needs a home somewhere, even if that home is inhabited by people like Skip Bayless. The idiots at NBC are thinking about cutting it after this whole strike fiasco plays out, which hurts my soul.

I should also state, that the show has the most attractive female cast members on television.

I can't let this show get Arrested Delevopment-ed, so ESPN better be serious... or better yet, c'mon NBC. Don't be an asshole.

*Grumble*

Arg.

Oh, and check me out here.

If you enjoy rap music , charts, and graphs (who doesn't?)...

then welcome to heaven:

*Notice they link the charts to the songs, in case you get stumped.*

Here's a good one.

Once this writer's strike provides me with the opportunity to actually not stare at my TV 4 hours a night, I think I'll create a few of these myself.

I just wanted to say...

I WANT MY COTDAMNED TV SHOWS!!!!!!!

I refuse to spend any time (today) talking about the doom and heartache the Writer's Strike has caused. Each time I hear about another show being delayed or put into reruns, the more this whole thing starts to feel like a sci-fi dystopia.

Anyway...

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has it's season finale next Thursday (which is another blow to my TV routine), which will wrap up TFSOTV (the funniest show on TV) for it's third season.

Check out the Season Three preview to get a feel of what you missed, and then cop The Season 1&2 DVD.

My favorite track of 2007

From the best new rapper in the last few years, despite his ridiculous ATCQ uhhh... fiasco.



Yeah, I'm posting on vacation. Wanna make something of it?

Vin Diesel is funky fresh

It's always important to have something to fall back on.

I'm going on vacation, be back in a week. Til then, just read the sites I link to on the right, that's where I steal my content from anyway.
