From Carl: Warren the Ape

Warren the Ape is a spin-off of the more well-known show Greg the Bunny. Greg the Bunny which began as a series of shorts on IFC later inspired the Fox television series of the same name starring Seth Green, Sarah Silverman and Eugene Levy. Warren the Ape is the latest chapter of the Greg the Bunny characters, but this time on MTV. The events of this show follow Warren in a reality show context as he tries to piece his life together and sometimes involves the people in the canceled Fox version of Greg the Bunny, in the first season both Seth Green and Sarah Silverman portray themselves post-Greg.

Each episode begins with Warren DeMontague (voiced by co-creator Dan Milano) visiting Dr. Drew to make a plan to get/stay sober and get his acting career back on track. And he plans to do this on TV so as to improve his career and get back on top, invoking reality TV shows such as “Scott Baio Is 45… And Single”. Each episode ends disastrously often with Warren worse off than he started. Warren always puts his comeback before his rehab and an example of this is when he decides to go through the 12 Steps but starts on step 9, because, he says, we all know he’ll never do all 12. So he begins with No.9 Make Amends. Of course, he has his Assistant apologize to people to whom he has done wrong for him.

The show was not only timely, funny, and unique, it was also canceled last November.

Bob the Satanist

Been watching a lot of Bob the Builder with Alex lately and had 2 quick questions…

1.  Bob and Wendy…  doin it?

2. What deal with the Devil did Bob make to allow all these machines to gain sentience?  Or is he working for SkyNet?

Discuss.

Name Change and New Stuff

As I haven’t posted anything here in a fossil’s age, I’m changing the format a bit.  I’m opening this up to my friends to send challenges/questions/whatever and we will all expound on them.  Let’s see how that works.

Old posts with pictures are gone, unfortunately.  I have moved jobs, and the server that held all those images went with them.  I will rebuild when I can, but for now, let’s start fresh.  March forward and all that.

Dear PBS Sprout

I just emailed this to PBS Sprout:

Hi.

Love your channel.

I have a problem though.

The Thomas the Tank Engine episodes.

We DVR shows on your channel.   We have young kids.  One of the major points of TV for young kids is a break for parents.  Yet when we DVR Thomas on your channel, we get 10 minutes of ads and prattle, then a tiny Thomas episode, and then the episode ends.

Then we have to stop what we are doing, come back, and move on to the next one.  Then more ads and prattle start and the child starts screaming for Thomas.  Then a tiny Thomas episode, often cut off, comes on, and then you go back to your dishes….  Then it ends.  And child screams.

And you have to stop, dry off,and come back.   To start another one, for more ads, and puppet stars making origami with glitter, before you get to what the child wants.

Can’t you make the episodes more like the ones on On Demand when it’s 3 episodes – 20ish minutes long?  Even with the ads and the repeated credits over and over, the child is happy and calm for a moment without asking “More Thomas???”

Please? Thank you!

A harried parent who really needs to get some dishes done,

That’s What I’m Talking About

Sweet Jesus

It’s so hard not to be gay.  It’s a Desmond episode next week.

There’s a word that rhymes with punt… which I would love to do to K.A.
