According to the fine folks at TVShowsOnDVD.com, it looks like Hanna Barbara is continuing its trend of releasing the shows from my youth just in time for me to infect my daughter with them. “Dynomutt” is on the way, and, if this news is true, it won’t be long before we see a “Hong Kong Phooey” set.
Can the “Captain Caveman” and “Funky Phantom” collections be far away…?
“Lost” star Naveen Andrews, 35-year-old occupant of the cradle robbed by 57-year-old Barbara Hershey many years ago, is making headlines for having fathered a child with another woman while he and Hershey were briefly separated last year. Hershey and Andrews have since reconciled, and Andrews is quoted as saying he has “every intention of taking appropriate responsibility for the child.”
Reports that the child’s mother is a sexy copy shop employee also coveted by one Ross Gellar are as yet unconfirmed.
When I was a kid way back in them there ’70s and ’80s, I already thought Gene Shalit was a strange old dude. He must’ve only been in his friggin’ teens as the guy’s still around. It’s Abe Vigoda Syndrome, baby. Anyway, GLAAD is pissed off at Shalit’s recent review of Brokeback Mountain. I guess Gene had decided that it was time to prove he still existed, since only us old schoolers remember him. I mean, Roger Ebert gets older and thinner, and Shalit remains the same scary hairball with each passing year. Thank God we never had to see Gene in a “Battle of the Network Stars” way back when. Can you imagine having to inadvertently discover where the rest of that hair decided to go on his body while watching him in a tug o’ war match? Creepy.
Well, it sure as hell can’t hurt.
From RickyGervais.com:
Simpsons creator praises Gervais
The Simpsons creator Matt Groening said Ricky Gervais did such a good job writing an episode of the hit US comedy show that he wants him to do more.
The Office star wrote and appears in the episode, which is due to be screened in the US in the spring.
Groening said Gervais was good enough to be a regular character, according to reports in the UK press.
“He caught our tone exactly, and then added his own Ricky Gervais/David Brent patheticness,” Groening said.
“Everything you could ever possibly want from Ricky Gervais you get.
“It’s possible we’ll collaborate again… he should be a regular character. In fact, he should have his own cartoon series.”
Gervais’ character in The Simpsons is based on David Brent from The Office sitcom.
He moves into The Simpson household with Marge as the family take part in an episode of Wife Swap, while Homer moves in with his wife.
Gervais was invited to pen the episode by Groening, who is a fan of The Office.
He described writing the episode as a “dream come true”.
Attention late night couch potatoes: “SNL” is funny again. It took them long enough, considering Will Ferrell was the only remaining talent on the cast until about three years ago. After leaving the show to pursue a movie career, though, the famous sketch program was left in the hands of… gasp… Jimmy Fallon. We all know how that turned out, since Fallon has one character he uses in every one of his skits. Now, relative newcomers Chris Parnel and Andy Samberg have delivered what’s sure to become the hottest internet download of the year with the “‘SNL’ Digital Short” entitled “Lazy Sunday.” In it, two grown men rap about their journey on the way to seeing Disney’s “The Chronicles of Narnia” in theaters. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll hit “replay.”
