SpongeBob SquarePants Marries Sandy?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:34:58 +0000

I love SpongeBob SquarePants, but this Truth or Square special smacks of a sitcom stunt, trying to pull in ratings. The press release says,"First there was the intimate tea party in the tree dome. Then, there were all those playful karate chops, and the ripped pants? For years SpongeBob and Sandy were just friends, but we've always wondered... could there be something more? Would these two ever end up together as sponge and wife?" Ugh. I feel the influence of Jon and Kate in this publicity. Hopefully, Truth or Square will be smarter and funnier that I'm expecting. Find out tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET on Nick.

Jaroo.com for Free Cartoons

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:35:00 +0000

Jaroo.com is a new website that streams old cartoons for free. It's Hulu.com, but for kids. Supposedly. Looks to me like it's really more for grown-ups hoping to capture some Saturday-morning-cartoon nostalgia. Regardless, you'll find gems like Strawberry Shortcake, Liberty's Kids and Inspector Gadget.

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:56:54 +0000

Happy Halloween! That phrase seems like an oxymoron. Perhaps we should wish each other, "Frightful Halloween!" or "Raise the dead!" However you choose to celebrate the holiday, include this fun ten-question trivia quiz about the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes on The Simpsons.

Don't be overwhelmed by the number of discs or the price. Adult Swim in a Box is a fantastic addition to any personal animated TV collection, not only becuase it features some of Adult Swim's best series, but also because the set includes never-aired shows with crazy titles, such as Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge.

Microsoft Breaks Up with MacFarlane

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:44:17 +0000

Previously I mentioned that Microsoft would be the sole sponsor of an upcoming Family Guy special. Looks like Bill Gates, or someone who works for him, actually watched the show and decided it wasn't the kind of show they should be backing. The AP is reporting that Microsoft backed out of the deal, after seeing the already-recorded special. Fox is searching for a new sponsor for the commercial-free special. May I suggest Enzyte?
