Here’s who’s replacing Meredith Viera:
Gahhhhhhh…!
Well, at least they can’t say the show hasn’t met its belligerent lesbian quota…

When folks Rhino Handmade and Hip-O Select started making limited-edition releases of albums with cult followings, it was only inevitable that someone would pick up the torch for the DVD market…and, now, someone has.
DVD on Demand is going to be releasing titles through Customflix from NBC Universal, A & E, and PBS on a made-when-ordered basis. Some of the titles mentioned at the moment are a collection of “Where In The World Is Matt Lauer?” segments from the annual feature on NBC’s “Today,” as well as a “Westerminster Kennel Club Show” disc, but A &E has no end of “Biography” episodes up for grabs, and PBS has “Antiques Roadshow,” “Nova,” and others.
My God. Does this mean I might finally be able to get “Quark” on DVD…?
UPDATE: I traded E-mail with the very pleasant Katrina Florence, the publicist at NBC who’s handling media queries about DVD on Demand. I asked of the possibility of seeing short-lived or cult programs released via this new program, and she responded, “I can’t give you a really definitive answer regarding those TV shows…what I can tell you is that at this time we’re geared more toward releasing the unique specialty titles like the ones listed in our press release, as opposed to our TV catalog. But DVD-on-Demand certainly opens up options previously unavailable in terms of bringing titles to the market.” So it’s not a “yes,” but it’s not a “no,” either. I like those odds…
The Kids WB! has announced their new line-up, and…well, I have no joke here, because if you don’t read it for yourself, you won’t believe this is a real show:
SHAGGY & SCOOBY-DOO GET A CLUE: Ruh-roh! Everybody’s favorite quivering sleuths, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo, are back in a new adventure that will anchor the “Too Big For Your TV” programming block. In this comedy, also produced by Radomski, Shaggy and Scooby live in the bling’d-out mansion of Shaggy’s Uncle Albert, solving mysteries with the help of a transforming Mystery Machine which, at the click of a remote, can morph into one of a number of modes of transportation. New Scooby Snacks infused with a top-secret nano-technology allows our canine hero to fly, become a towering robot or even turn himself into a giant magnet, which comes in handy as Shaggy and Scooby-Doo carry out their new mission: protecting the Scooby Snacks and keeping them safe from those who want them for evil. Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! is executive produced by Sander Schwartz and Joseph Barbera.
You can check out the original article here, where you can read about the new “Legion of Super Heroes” cartoon that does sound pretty cool…but, criminey, here’s a memo to Hanna Barbara: STOP UPDATING YOUR CLASSICS FOR “THE NEXT GENERATION.”
Good news, everyone…!
In an interview with the Onion’s A.V. Club, Matt Groening – creator of “Life in Hell,” “The Simpsons,” and “Futurama” – reveals more details about the ongoing adventures of Fry, Leela, Bender.
“We’re going to do four of them, straight to DVD,” says Groening. “And as we speak, I’m exchanging e-mails and ideas with David X. Cohen and Ken Keeler, both of whom worked on the show from the very beginning. Right now, we’re trying to figure out whether to do a giant epic, or separate crazy movies, or what. But I wager that Bender will be featured prominently.”
Groening also talks about how there was once the very real possibility of a Krusty the Klown spin-off.
“I just thought the idea of a live-action Krusty the Clown show would be something Dan (Castellaneta) could go completely crazy with. And halfway through the pitch, Fox said, ‘Can it be a cartoon?’ So okay, we’ll make it a cartoon. And it just got bogged down in the kinds of mysterious machinations that often happen in Hollywood. Maybe someday we’ll do it. I don’t know.”
…Bruce Campbell fans can do double the rejoicing, now that Universal has decided to release his other short-lived series, Jack of All Trades, on DVD:
It only lasted 22 episodes, but they’re all here, so that Campbell-holics can bask in the show which featured their man Bruce as an American spy during the 1800s. Given the reluctance for most folks to watch a show that doesn’t take place in present day, it’s a testament to the guy’s fan base that the series lasted as long as it did…well, that and the fact that Bruce Campbell + Sam Raimi (he was an executive producer on the show) generally equals instant watchability.
