Hearing Zap Brannigan’s voice yelling “Gooo! Me!” from the parody GI Zap is even funnier in this context. I know, the jokes are too easy. A GI Joe action figure with a plunger and a really awful stench. In reality, it’s … Continue reading
RIP Richard Moll
Richard was best known as Bull on Night Court and obviously before (and after) the hit Sitcom, he was often cast is giant bad guys or monsters or somebody intimidating. What fewer people knew, Richard also had a big career as … Continue reading
By the Power of Propane!
I tell ya whut! Castle Greyskull is completely powered and heated by clean burnin’, energy efficient Propane. It is abundant in Arternia too. Now if you excuse me, I need to get back to defeatin’ my mortal enemy…no not Skeletor, … Continue reading

Bugs Bunny making a valid ‘pride’ point against morons
OK, there is one flaw in the argument. Anyone younger than Gen X probably doesn’t know what an anvil is. I too have dressed up as a cheerleader (thank you Anecia Hafner) and one of my favorite misanthropes, Patsy Stone … Continue reading
1997: The Cartoon Network matures! Part 2: New shows!
The Header should be showing significant changes that reflect all the shows the Cartoon Network began to add and/or create year by year. In 1997, the channel was now home to brand new material created by the Hanna-Barbera Studio thanks … Continue reading
Rest in Peace Judy Tenuta
Crap! We lost the giver goddess, petite flower, Diet Dr. Pepper spokesperson, accordion aficionado and all around hilarious person. I had been following her on her Twitter feed so I knew Judy was undergoing treatment for cancer. I didn’t know … Continue reading

1992: The Cartoon Network begins! Part 1: The salad years
Cartoon and Cable Television history were made on this day! Oddly, I was living in a market lucky enough to have it on day one. I used to feel the same way about the Sci-Fi Channel but everybody soured on … Continue reading

Happy 70th Birthday to Billy West!
He’s probably one of the biggest names in voice-acting these days. Even if you’re not into animation (both kid and adult stuff) like me, you’ve heard him for years on TV. Billy has been the Cheerios Honey-Nut Bee and the … Continue reading

RIP Louie Anderson
At least his career went out on a high note with Baskets on FXX. Now that the show has wrapped up, I need to watch it since local fave Martha Kelly was in it too. If you are a Gen Xer, … Continue reading
Not really a problem until next year for me
I’m mixed about my return to the campus in October getting pushed back to January. I miss my veal-fattening pen and its perks. However, they weren’t really going to be open or at full capacity. Ergo, what’s the point? It … Continue reading
1960: The Flintstones debut on ABC
This revelation is a week late because I’m not always on top of cartoon history but I thank The Guardian for having a thoughtful article about this watershed anniversary. By the time I was born, The Flintstones was syndicated and shown daily on … Continue reading
Real-life Belchers to kick off the return of Bob’s Burgers
A pretty cute and cool portrait of America’s favorite, struggling burger-making family who return for I think their 11th season on Fox; I’m amazed it made it past four given that network’s preferences for crap because Family Guy debuts with its … Continue reading
2010: Regular Show debuted
I had no idea that today was the anniversary until creator JG Quintel posted it on his Twitter feed. Regular Show was one of the funniest things Cartoon Network had made in a while; something focused on the plight of Millenials being … Continue reading
Ren & Stimpy are returning too?
Comedy Central has decided to flog this dead horse in addition to Beavis & Butt-Head. With the latter, I don’t mind, dumbasses such as those two transcend any decade (e.g. Biff from Back to the Future could be their grandfather, really). Ren & … Continue reading
