Hopefully Crank Prank Time Phones exist in the real future because I'm not going to be able to wait this long for GTA: IV. I've watched this trailer 10 times already.



I'm going to be pretty busy for most of April so don't expect much coming from me (not like anyone still does or ever did). Who knows though, I may have a surprise or two for you at some point, so don't completely forget about me just yet.

I'm Mister Manager!

So this now makes three George Michaels who are no longer relevant.



Seriously though, after tonight's last episode I'm going to miss good old George pressing the buttons on his fake machine (although a fake Sports Machine is better than no Sports Machine at all) and giving away the scores before he shows the highlights. It's the end of a cheesy era. Who will our nation turn its lonely eyes to now?

And Now An Updated Ranking of My Three Favorite George Michaleseseses:

What's the Mileage on this Sucker?

The more and more I watch American Idol, the more and more I miss The WB's Superstar USA. In case you didn't know about this show (read more about it here), it aired in the summer of 2004 and was the WB's answer to American Idol, except it was made to mock bad singers by making them think they were good. For seven glorious weeks, I laughed and laughed until I cried, and fell in love with these lovable losers, and with the awesome judges (Vitamin C - who knew?). Unfortunately, this was a reality series that only would have worked once, so we'll never see it again, unless of course if they decide to put in on DVD, which they'll never do because I want it so badly. So in celebration of the greatest reality talent show of all time, and also in anticipation of the greatest two days of every year, please enjoy these two classic performances of the two contestants who were robbed the biggest (I'm still shocked Rosa didn't win). I MISS THIS SHOW SO MUCH.

and Rosa (bad quality, so turn it up):



ONE MORE THING: Here's a bonus clip of the awesomeness that is Dr. Dog from Conan the other night:

So Easy Even a Caveman Can Write It

In case you haven't heard, or don't like clicking on links, ABC is developing a comedy pilot based on the Caveman Geico commercials. As of now, I believe this is actually a real news story seeing as how there's no such thing as March Fool's Day (a mythical holiday that appears directly in between Groundhog's Day and April Fool's). Don't get me wrong, I love the Caveman commercials (in fact, one of these commercials provided my number one highlight so far of 2007 at a Super Bowl party), and consider them to be some of the best on TV, but to make an actual sitcom out of this? It seems like the words "Wacky Eighties'" should be used to describe this sitcom idea.

As for how good it will be, I see it falling somewhere between other Caveman-out-of-water classics "Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer" and Encino Man, which I guess is a good thing. If you ask me though, I would much rather see a sitcom based around either the (in my opinion, better and funnier) Geico Gecko in a Single Guy type show for the new millennium (which should also co-star Joey Slotnick), or a Coneheads/Big Love type series revolving around the Whopper Family from the Burger King commercials, with Mr. Banana Grabber as their wacky next door neighbor.



Even though we'll probably never see those two shows I listed above, with the Geico Cavemen getting their own show, maybe there's hope that sometime in the future I will see my two dream shows. Until then, I guess I'll just have to not watch the Caveman show.
