Don't Do A Half Ass Futurama Reboot
I am reading that Fox is recasting all the voices on Futurama to cut costs.
Did you ever see the "new" Jetsons with the different voices?
Does anyone out there like fake Fred Flintstone?
Ever hear a bad Bugs Bunny?
Does Kermit still sound like Kermit to you?
If you can't do it right, don't do it.
Being fair, the producers of Clone Wars did a great job on their voice actors, and I guess Yellow Submarine wasn't too bad.
Why is there a broomstick in my keister?(quiddich? really?)

They can't fly, and they don't have any magical powers.
But that doesn't stop groups of college students across the country from playing Quidditch, the midair "sport" from J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series.
The broom-based game has become something of an underground cult activity among young adults who came of age in the Potter era.
You may have seen a glimpse of the sport in a recent ad for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," in which a girl daydreams about a muddy match.
That daydream is a reality for 21 year-old Michael Sandstrom, a Vassar College sophomore from Chestnut Ridge, N.Y., who, spent one recent rainy Friday chasing a "snitch" at Nyack's Memorial Park.
He and six teammates, brooms between their legs ("Brooms up!" is the rallying cry), are in the off-season of the game, which was originally adapted into a land-based activity (blame gravity) by Middlebury College student Xander Manshel about four years ago.
At the first Quidditch World Cup two years ago, Middlebury hosted Vassar, which then had the only other college Quidditch team in existence. Now, more than 200 colleges either have or have expressed interest in starting a Quidditch team, according to the Intercollegiate Quidditch Association — a loosely structured governing body of the sport.
(Incidentally, if you're too old for Hogwarts, you're too old for Quidditch: Warner Bros. has been known to prohibit for-profit sports leagues from picking up brooms and starting a league. College kids and other "amateurs" are welcome to swat the snitch around).
Rank these imaginative athletes as among the most inspired of the Potter generation. "The books came out when I was around the same age as Harry Potter," says rising junior Michelle Cantos, 19, the outgoing captain of Vassar's squad, from Congers, N.Y. "I was waiting for my letter from Hogwarts. We went through our teenage years together and we had this bond.
"So when I came to Vassar and found out we had a Quidditch team, I was like, 'Oh my God, this is so amazing,' and I was immediately hooked."
Cantos is a beater, a defensive player who hurls bludgers, or red dodge balls, at opposing players. From there, well, you have to have read the books to get it. When she hits someone with her bludger, the make-believe begins: That player must drop his or her quaffle and circle the hoops to make up for the time lost as though he or she had actually fallen off the broom mid-flight.
Muggle Quidditch cleverly accounts for many of the impossibilities of playing a fantasy sport that takes place in the air on broomsticks. The "Golden Snitch" is a tennis ball in a sock. The quest for the snitch has led Sandstrom into a dumpster and through a maze of bushes.
The "quaffle" is a volleyball. Goals are mounted Hula-Hoops. The brooms are borrowed from closets or purchased at dollar stores, and players wear safety goggles to avoid a stick in the eye. And, of course, capes.
"My family thinks it's hilarious, especially since I was always more of a mathlete and less of an athlete in high school," says Cantos. "There was a lot of laughter at my expense, but they're all supportive."
"It's good being that kid who plays Quidditch because it's so phenomenally ridiculous, and yet, so amazingly fun," says David Bridgman-Packer, 19, a rising sophomore from Valley Cottage and the incoming captain of Vassar's team. "What Quidditch lets you do is get a great workout, have a great time, and meet people who are just as nerdy as you are."

Great CBS Cronkite Special
Kudos to whoever put together the Cronkite special last night. Man
was Walter great.
was Walter great.
I really appreciated that someone at CBS had the guts to let Beian
Williams and Charlie Gibson be part of it. Dan Rather too.
It really shows what a light-weight Katie Couric is and why ironically
CBS is now the 5th place I would tune during a major news event.

NBC Actually Televises Fireworks As Part Of Fireworks Coverage
Wow was I shocked when I tuned in to see the Macy's Fireworks on NBC last night.
Unlike past years they actually showed the fireworks. Usually they show me the faces of the people watching the fireworks so I could see how much I would enjoy them if I could actually see them. Traditionally this is accompanied by having Martin Sheen or the guy from Chuck or Tea Leoni reading some poetry over the fireworks to make me feel more patriotic so that I tune in to some new NBC shows.
Great job last night and I thought the fireworks were great. Now if only whoever produced last night's telecast could go work on Fox baseball.

SCI FI---> SYFY
.jpg)
Ok. I get it. The Sci Fi channel wants to rebrand itself because its not just showing sci fi shows like it used to. But, couldn't they have at least come up with something a little less dumb?..I feel like it's some little girls cartoon channel now. How about GENRE? that wouldn't have worked for a name? It would have encompassed more of what the channel is about. Horror,Sci fi, Action, Paranormal, and Sports Entertainment. I can see why they chose SYFY, because it sounds the same as Sci Fi..What the Hell does SYFY mean then?
