Saturday Cartoon Throwback Thread For 9/26/09: Jonny Quest

Image
Though I wasn't a big fan of this show, since my childhood was in the 90's and was bored by it whenever it aired on cartoon network, no one can deny that it isn't a cartoon classic. The opening theme song: A fan's showcase of the Top 5 episodes (his opinion, not mine). And it lead to a new Quest series to emerge in the 90's on Cartoon Network in the beginning days of Toonami. Just like its predecessor, I wasn't too captivated by this show, but I loved the opening credits: Capture the original but still had the soul of a new show. And ending credits of the original show: And I just learned that they are coming up with a Johnny Quest movie real soon, with Zac Eron as Johnny Quest and "The Rock" as Race. Nowadays, anything old will become a movie. Our nostalgia world we live in. That is this week's Saturday Cartoon Throwback Thread boys and girls. Tune in next week to see which throwback cartoons you will go gag-gag for, and wish that it were still o...

Friday Night (And Saturday AM) Thread For 9/25-26/09:

Friday Night Thread......as Montell usually does bring it in. This Is How We Do It - Montell Jordan Let's begin: He-Man, which has been in contention for this week's Saturday Cartoon Throwback Thread, is back in the news . If you ever wondered or assumed about the characteristics of the Moon, well, you possibly were wrong . A big case that is going under the radar is this one . It's about Google Books. I really wonder what Solomon or Wilt Chamberlain's numbers would be if this math just considered them . Oh those Brits. Where is the weird Guiness commercial when you need it, especially when it is their 250th birthday . Brilliant indeed Are they right, or are they saying that because of being competitors? Well, I believe them. Can't front, this was funny: EMBED-Female Runner Faceplants Right Before Finish - Watch more free videos Heart attacks have gone down after smoking bans .

The Break For 9/26/09: Conan O'Brien Rushed To The Hospital

Image
Oh boy Conan . NBC says Conan O'Brien hit his head during a stunt for the "Tonight Show" and the production was halted. The accident occurred Friday. O'Brien was being examined at a hospital, according to a person close to the production. The person, who lacked authorization to discuss details of the matter, spoke on condition of anonymity. Through NBC, O'Brien issued a statement to demonstrate that he was able to joke about the incident. O'Brien said that he recalled "enjoying the play with Mrs. Lincoln," and the next thing he was aware of was being served cookies and juice.

Leak, Leak, Leak, Leak, Leak

But will the plumbers (corporate media) even damn notice (as it is easily too late by now since funding has been stripped ) the continued leaks ? On the heels of ACORN filing a lawsuit against conservative activists Hannah Giles, James O'Keefe, and Breitbart.com LLC, Sean Hannity, Andrew Breitbart, HotAir.com's Allahpundit, and NewsBusters have offered to -- in the words of Hannity -- "put out the word" to "help" Giles and O'Keefe raise money for their legal defense. Conservative media figures -- led by Glenn Beck -- helped Breitbart strategically release and aggressively promote the undercover videos that sparked ACORN's lawsuit. Or will they even damn care is the better question? Because they sure as hell know. But unsurprisingly, they seem not to be bothered . The drips continue. Meanwhile, O'Keefe and his accomplice join the ranks of right-wing heroes. Boy, I bet they are certainly proud with themselves.
