Nothing New
I was watching Family Guy and before I knew it, Conan was on the air. Today marks his 2nd week on TBS, but I am hoping the show gets canned. It is the same tired old crap. Nothing new. What is the big deal? Conan is not funny! Btw, Leno sucks too.
The Real Velma
May I have your attention please. Will the 'real' Velma Dinkley please stand up. Alright, time for another blurb. Have you seen the preview for the latest made-for-television Scooby Doo movie? I caught of glimpse of it earlier today and the casting is lame!
The casting for the Scooby Doo 'live' movies was well done with the exception of Fred, but that is another rant. Anyway, Linda Cardellini was a natural to play Velma in the live movies, so what is up with the casting of a Japanese actress to play Velma?
Come on now, who does the studio think they are fooling? I knew Sum Ting was Wong when I saw Velma. Too bad, because the live action movies did well in the box office. The made-for-television movies are going to be stinkers. Everyone, put an 'L' in the air.
Cooter and Hutch
It appears Starsky's Red Gran Torino made a one time appearance on The Dukes of Hazzard show. The theory is the Ford ended up in Hazzard as a joke, ha. Anyway, I found the below snippet on Wikipedia. If you have another theory, let us know.
During the last season of Starsky and Hutch, The Dukes of Hazzard premiered on CBS, and one of the factory replicas was used in the first episode, "One Armed Bandits", seen to be driven by regular character Cooter Davenport (Ben Jones). This was the only appearance of the Torino in the series, and many fans have speculated over its strange one-off appearance. One theory is that it was merely an in-joke, with the Torino's former iconic car status now being taken over by the Dukes' car "The General Lee".
Starsky and Cooter
Remember the Red Gran Torino in Starsky and Hutch? I was flipping through the tv channels and saw Cooter of The Dukes of Hazzard fame driving the "Striped Tomato". What the heck? I do not recall ever seeing the Gran Torino on the Dukes television show.
The Red Gran Torino made an appearance in The Dukes of Hazzard premier episode, "One Arm Bandits", which aired on January 26th, 1979. How did the famous Ford make its way to Hazzard County? If anyone knows, please leave a comment.
Elvira Returning This Fall
While sifting through the aftermath of Comic-Con 2010 news, I learned that Elvira "Mistress of the Dark" is returning to television. Nice! The cheesy horror movies and the "twins" are returning this fall. I will post updates as I learn more.
"Elvira’s Movie Macabre" will be officially making its return to television this fall with all NEW episodes! All dates, times, and channels are TBA later this summer. The show is syndicated (national) so times and channels will depend on your area/market.
Worst Commercial
There are many crappy commercials out there, but one commercial takes the cake. I would rank it as one of the worst ever. Without further ado, I bring you 'Education Connection'. I cringe even as I type the name. Damn!
I do not know what is worse, the irritating jingle or 'rapingle' (yeah, I just made that up) or the lame-o actress. Whatever it is, I cannot stand this commercial. Am I alone on this or do others want to bounce their TV when the commercial airs?
Late Night Fiasco
What the hell is going on with late night programming? Leno's show sucks major ass, so NBC is moving him back to his old time slot. Like that will make him suck less ass, he is lame-o. I read that Conan told NBC to pound sand. Good for him.
The mofos at NBC are kissing Leno's ass, so Conan gets bumped. I am sure everyone knows that it all boils down to ratings and greed, right? If the Leno show is not performing, kick it to the curb. Seems pretty simple to me.
BTW, I do not watch "Late Night" with Conan. I am just commenting that I think he got the shaft. Anyway, I hit Google to search for more 411 and guess what Google suggested? I see others are inline with WassupJose. Nice.
