Back from the dead

First up today, some great news: Futurama will be back (on Comedy Central)!
Collider reports that the Futurama production office have already oppened and casting is about to start.
The source further reports that the order is of a 13-episode season.
Best news of the day as far as I’m concerned.

In other TV info, BSG‘s Katee Sackhoff is joining the cast of next season’s 24, completing the team already made up of Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Westfeldt, Mykelti Williamson, John Boyd and Chris Diamantopoulos.

And finally, a little vid to pass the time until I’m not too lazy enough to post some real content:

Out there

First, a quick follow-up to yesterday’s Conan/Mario “news”.

Why is everyone either saying it’s a dead-on reference while other describe Serious Lunch’s post as a giant hoax/conspiracy?
It’s neither!
Some people are taking this a bit too seriously.
It’s just a (good) photoshop joke.
There’s no record to set straight.

You’ve gotta admit though that the set design does look a bit like a Super Mario Bros. 2 medley.

I find it pretty funny that in the span of a few hours, loads of sites not only believed the news, but that Nintendo even commented on it.

Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert’s secret visit to the Persian Gulf has been revealed to take place in Baghdad, Irak.
The shows (next week’s) have been dubbed Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando.

I also just found out this epic Star Trek space battle video made by the team behind the awesome VFX of the new movie.
The video was the opening for the 2009 FedCon Science Fiction convention.
Check out the awesomeness:

We start today’s blog with ground-breaking news:

The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien has a new set design.
No, that’s not ground-breaking news.
What is however, is the fact that Serious Lunch has uncovered the truth behind said new set design: it is actually a replica of the Mushroom Kingdom in Super Mario Bros!

Check it out for yourselves:

Great Scott!

Quickly continuing on yesterday’s Heroes casting news, Prison Break‘s Robert Knepper has been cast as the new season’s main villain.

The AMC remake of The Prisoner meanwhile has a (very) short promo now out:

Looks like all the new stuff for today…
