So we watched the pilot for the new “The Muppet Show” on Disney+. My father and I used to watch the original show every week when I was a kid. It was at times brilliant and managed to tread that fine line of humor that kids could laugh at as well as adults. (Not something…

A priceless work of modern art.
Oh Malory… You are so very very very wrong on this one.
Camelot 3000 (1982)
I have been very shocked that DC Studios (and prior entities) have not attempted to produce a live adaption of Mike Barr and Brian Bolland‘s phenomenal Camelot 3000 series from the early 1980s. It is one of those self-contained story that would have been excellent source material to go up against Game of Thrones and…
Why don’t you go back to your home on Whore Island!
Everybody loves the Whore Island! Everybody loves the ocelots! Everybody loves the Whore Island Ocelots, right?
Meet Your Second Wife – SNL
I had completely forgotten about this 9-year-old SNL skit titled “Meet Your Second Wife” in which 3 unsuspecting men end up on a game show that shows them/allows them to meet their future second wives that they don’t even realize exist. Their first wives are in the studio audience, and Lesley Jone’s stare is gold!!!…
A great simple Space: 1999 illustration!
Stumbled across a great little “Space: 1999” image on Pinterest. I loves me the first season. Second season is ok but so very different. But let’s just get this out in the open now: The Eagle Transporters are quite possibly some of the most realistic space vehicles in all of science fiction. I still have…
One Piece: Into The Grand Line
My only real exposure to One Piece has been the Netflix adaptation. And I loved Season 1. Here’s hoping Season 2 is full of the same bad craziness!!! And a Season 3 has been green lighted!!!
Mr. Jacquel and Mr. Ibis and Bast
In my search for ever more great Anubis interpretations, I stumbled across this image and immediately knew what is was. A great illustration of Mr. Jacquel and Mr. Ibis and Bast from Neil Gaiman’s novel American Gods. Well, I suspect the are going for the tv adaptation. It has been years since I read it….
Random Joy: “Tron: Uprising”
“Tron: Uprising” aired from May 18, 2012 –January 28, 2013. An now almost forgotten interquel set between the original 1982 Tron and 2010’s Tron: Legacy, I feel that this series really did some amazing things with animated visuals that few mass market animated series would attempt to do. The production design is 100% top notch…
Ironheart (Eps 1-3)
I did not really have plans to watch this series since I found the character unbearable in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever but I figured with only 6 episodes it won’t hurt. I know Marvel started down this route to try to attract a Gen Z/A audience several years back but 3 episodes in and I’ve…
