GUESS WHOSE BACK!

FINALLY!, Futurama is back!

An announcement was made on June 9th that Comedy Central had picked up the show for 26 new half-hour episodes that will begin airing in mid-2010. It was announced that a casting notice was posted to replace the entire cast when 20th Century Fox ( the parent company) would not meet their salary demands, so during Comic Con , many fans converged on the Futurama booth to voice displeasure. If its one thing you don't mess with, it's devoted fans of cult t.v shows.
So with the help of Maurice LaMarche ( who voices Kif on the show) who sent a message that was sent to members of the "Save the Voices of Futurama" group on Facebook, all the members of the original show are coming back. So that means West, Sagal, DiMaggio, LaMarche, MacNeille, Tom, LaMarr, and Herman will all be returning.
When Futurama first aired on fox it had a decent following as it was created by "The Simpsons" creator and aired after the show, but by the 4th season ratings had dropped and Fox canceled the series in 2003. But much like other "brilliant but canceled" shows, Cartoon Network became the savior of the series, picking it up as well as "Family Guy" (which we are fans of) and began airing it with "Family Guy" during the "Adult Swim" block at night. This "Adult Swim " block helped get "Family Guy" back on the air at Fox, but sadly that didn't happen with "Futurama"Enter Comedy Central , who committed to sixteen new episodes and decided that four films would be produced. With that "Bender's Big Score", "The Beast with Billion Backs" , "Bender's Game" and "Into the Wild Green Yonder" were made and aired with "Into the Wild Green Yonder" intending to be the series finale.
We are excited that this show is coming back, especially in the wake of some of the other crap that is on t.v right now.

WTF of the Day

Now I am a celebrated pooper like alot of people, but the individuals behind the PooTrap have taken it a step to far. This contraption (patent pending) is out of Asia (Big Surprise) and buckles around your dogs body, enabling the dog to poop directly in the a sanitary bag.
According to the company, the "first time" is always the hardest, but for long-term and better results it will benefit your pet in the long run.
REALLY? Since when is having a plastic bag strapped to your anus improving your quality of life? The company also states that 98% of dogs will get use to this product once they try it for three days.
Though this product is Asia based they do have distributors in other countries via the web.The PooTrap sells for between $29.95 and $38.95 in the USA depending on the size of your dog. The bags cost extra - about $5 for a pack of 30.
Also, since this glorified body harness seems to look a little complicated, the company has a couple of videos to show you how to use the product .

Take notice of the background music, lol.So I guess the moral of this story is that if you wrestle and weigh your dog down for three consecutive days then you to can save 3 precious minutes of your life that you would have spent extending your arm and reaching down and scooping up the pop.

Law & Order: SVU

So I walk out of my house and what do I see.....the bastards have shut down my street for something, which annoyed me, until I saw that they were filming Law & Order :SVU. Then my disgust turned into a little bit of a star stuck fan.
Unfortunately, I only had my crappy low megapixel camera phone so I snapped a couple of shots with it.

So this is my shot of Chris Meloni aka Stabler running across the street to start the scene....yes that is him in the suite on the left. While I was across the street like a stalkerazzi, the little crowd of people next to me were lamenting about trying to see Ice-T. I then had to school this newly minted fans about the Law & Order protocal. ...and that is you rarely see both sets of partners out together.The same for all the Law & Order Franchise.

I finally had to leave ( I did actually have something to do) and said "screw it", so I walked across the street and as I walked by got a nice close up shot of Mariska Hargitay aka Olivia and Chris Meloni aka Stabler talking in between scenes. They seem to be comfortable with each other ( take a hint Vincent D'onofrio) and that translates well on screen. Mariska was limping, ...I later found out after googling, that she had an accident with her leg a little while ago.

I was actually thinking that they were going to stop me from getting to close. I had visions of being tackled and then getting my mug splayed across the six o'clock news, but the SVU crew was very nice and new that people were just curious. As long as we didn't over step our bounds, they went on about their business.

And while I was getting in a cab, I turn around and who do I see about to enter the scene? None other than Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, best none for playing Richard on The 4400....yes people, that is his actual name...that is a mouthful, but kudos for him for not changing it for hollywood like alot of actors do.
So it looks like he is going to be making an appearance on this season of SVU.











I can't wait....Law & Order:SVU.........watch it
