This kickstarter is awesome. Please contribute and reblog. :)
I ask the important questions.
¡GRANDMA’S COOKIN’ GOES TO MEXICO! - a travel/cooking show
by Erik Kennon
Hey y’all! My friend Erik is doing an awesome kickstarter for a new project that spreads the word of cultural preservation, food, family and… well, fun. Go check it out and reblog and contribute if you can! He’s a major dude and this is a really great idea that he doesn’t require a lot of money to accomplish.
FYI - This is really endearing and I think it’s a super cool idea. Why not, is my question. Why not?

Something that gets lost in “Family Guy” and other adult animated comedies (especially the 15-minute long ones on Adult Swim) are stories with a lot of heart.
I don’t hear people off the Internet talk about “Futurama” much, but I caught a rerun of a “Jurassic Bark” and couldn’t bring myself to watch the ending again. So I shut the TV off and was just left trying to think the last time an animated anything, other than a Pixar movie, moved me like that.
It’s been a while. I still don’t have an answer. What I can say if you ever find yourself in need to cry “Up” style at an animated series, just watch “Jurassic Bark” and “The Luck of the Fryrish” episodes of “Futurama,” which will cause you to:
A) Sob hysterically for a cartoon dog.
B) Consider giving your sibling a call or make you wish you had a sibling.
I never even had a dog in my life and I still feel bad about how “Jurassic Bark” ended. That enduring loyalty and attachment Seymour had for Fry. Oof. That cartoon dog is more loyal than most human beings I know in real life.
And yet if you sit there and try to figure out what it is exactly about the structure of the episode that tugs at those little heart strings it seems almost simplistic and mystical at the same time. There doesn’t have to be a grand dramatic moment just a slight misdirection and reveal.
To me, “Futurama” is one of the most underrated shows of the early aughts and I’m glad it has comeback in some capacity. But these early run episodes will always be my favorites.
Agreed on all fronts. The “luck of the fryish” and “jurassic bark” have moved me to tears on multiple occasions. Yeah. Fuck you. When Seymour just waits… yerp. It’s hard to not well up and cry one out.

THE BARBIE CHANNEL FUN FACTS HOUR
Channel 99-00 is the Barbie Channel at my house.
At 12:23am on a Saturday night, it got turned on. They are currently running a blooper reel of “outtakes” and “behind the scenes” footage… Y’know - “candid” stuff. Things that were recorded after the take, or weren’t supposed to be caught on tape… But… The thing is — This whole fucking thing - IT’S CGI!!!
SO… Someone got paid to write “out takes” and “cut scenes” and “mistakes” and then it was ANIMATED by graphic artists… and… voiced-over and produced and then AIRED ON TV.
THIS IS THE ANTITHESIS OF “CANDID!” IT’S TOTALLY A SET OF “HOAX OUT TAKES!”
On a related note, it’s completely normal that I watch THE BARBIE CHANNEL on Saturday nights.
Just wrote a short half page rant about a new TV show…
It’s fucking brilliant.
Someone pay me.
Now.
Shit just got real.
This is awesome - tell your friends!
The difference between watching Boxing and watching a show like High Society…
Is that… y’know - In Boxing sometimes there are people I REALLY want to see get punched in the face… And they do. But some I don’t. I mean, these are people that work REALLY hard to be at a level where they are on TV and performing an athletic feet…
And in High Society, I just - I want to see EVERYONE get punched in the face. A lot… And none of them do… And these people are doing nothing but spending money and trying to look a certain way to get on TV… And it’s hollow and shallow and boring and NONE OF THEM GET PUNCHED IN THE FACE!
I mean… For me, there’s a reason that Boxing is more appealing.
Jay Leno has been on Twitter since last May, has sent 500 tweets, and has 30,000 followers.
Conan has been on Twitter for six hours, sent one tweet, and has 190,000 followers.
Draw your own conclusions.
Whenever he’s back on the air his first episode is going to have REALLY good ratings (I mean, what’s considered good ratings six months from now… Like maybe 2 million viewers…)
I’ve written 13 pages today
6.5 for a 1 hour drama pilot and 6.5 for a 1/2 hour comedy (possibly animated) pilot.
I haven’t felt this good about starting a new project in a while.
I’m 27 on Tuesday… That actually feels pretty good to say.
I want to have a seven figure income year before I’m 30… Here’s hoping.
