Fox’s Animation Domination is expanding to Saturday nights in 2013. The Animation Domination HD programming block will air 11:00 PM-12:30 AM ET/PT and feature four new animated series per season. “It’s something that we’ve been working on for a while,” said Fox president of entertainment Kevin Reilly. “We have real estate on our schedule in Saturday night late night that we’ve not been programming in quite a few seasons.” Animation

Fringe was destined for cancellation the moment Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly revealed “We lose a lot of money on the show.” However, it will get a proper ending. The show has been renewed for an abbreviated season of 13 episodes, which not coincidentally will make a total of 100 episodes (the threshold for syndication). “Fringe is a remarkably creative series that has set the bar as one of television’s

Gym idiots, every gym has them. They’re shallow, selfish, egotistical, attention whores, who wear clothes two sizes too small, slam weights, grunt, and basically think they own the gym. It’s no wonder that so many people are intimidated about working out but there’s a new franchise that promises a “judgment free zone.” Planet Fitness takes this promise very seriously. They have what’s called a Lunk™ Alarm, which lights up and

In last week’s episode of Community “Virtual Systems Analysis,” Inspector Spacetime gets a new companion. Annie sets up Troy with Britta and fills in as temporary constable Geneva but simulation quickly ends, and not just because of Annie’s ridiculously stereotypical English accent. Abed tells Annie that he’s mad at her for tampering with the fabric of the group. He explains that he’s run all the scenarios through the Dreamatorium engine,

Ugly Americans gets a even uglier when Mark Lily is bitten by a Bat-Boy and transforms into a creature resembling Steve Buscemi. The milquetoast social worker decides to use his singular power to loudly shriek to help clean up New York as Bat Person! The episode also features parodies of other comic characters like Koala Boy Wonder and literal interpretations of Catwoman, Two-face, and Penguin. There’s even a guest appearance

Lorne Michaels has reportedly invited Mitt Romney to appear on Saturday Night Live. Romney says it’s news to him but that he’s open to the possibility. “I haven’t made a decision on that, just heard about it,” he told Diane Sawyer. “Of course it would depend on the nature of the skit. I want it to be funny.” Romney’s sense of humor is open to self-deprecation. He says that he’s

New Teen Titans goes old school in this week’s DC Nation Short “Turn Back the Clock.” The team faces off against the retro super villain Mad Mod, who uses a time machine reminiscent of the TARDIS to make himself young again. However, it also affects his henchmen and the Teen Titans. They transform into previous incarnations of themselves circa the 90s, 80s, 70s, and 60s. Eventually, they travel to the

Jennifer Love Hewitt recently told Maxim that she’s proud of her 36C breasts. “It’s horrible to say, but I like my boobs. They’ve always served me well. They’re good,” said Hewitt. They’re certainly serving her well in Hewitt’s newest role as a single mom working at a “massage” parlor. Lifetime has been promoting The Client List with a series of provocative photos but they were apparently too sexy for Entertainment

For a quarter of a century, exactly where The Simpsons live has remained a mystery. It’s only been ambiguously referred to as Springfield, USA. In a recent interview with the Smithsonian creator Matt Groening revealed: Springfield was named after Springfield, Oregon. The only reason is that when I was a kid, the TV show “Father Knows Best” took place in the town of Springfield, and I was thrilled because I

Cartoon Network celebrated April Fools’ Day as it usually does by replacing anime with Tommy Wiseau’s infamously bad movie The Room, or so it seemed. The opening credits were interrupted by the return of the Toonami programming block, which included 11 anime series: Bleach #247, Dragon Ball Z #191, Gundam Wing #10, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki #19, Outlaw Star #25, Big O #1, Yu Yu Hakusho #110, Blue Submarine No. 6

Anchorman Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) made a very classy entrance on Conan this week. After giving an encore of his jazz flute solo, he announced some exclusive news in the most roundabout way possible. “I want to announce this to everyone here in the Americas, to our friends in Spain, Turkey, and the UK, including England, that as of 0900 mountain time, Paramount Pictures and myself, Ronald Joseph Aaron Burgundy,

South Park has finally answered the age-old debate of leaving the toilet seat up or down. In the season premiere “Reverse Cowgirl,” Clyde is tormented by his nagging mother, who constantly warns him to leave the toilet seat down so she doesn’t fall in which is exactly what happens. The Toilet Safety Administration (TSA) forces everyone to wear toilet seat belts so they don’t fall in. Eventually, the TSA becomes

Saturday morning cartoons are making a comeback with Cartoon Network’s DC Nation, an hour-long programming block featuring DC properties Green Lantern: The Animated Series (10am/9c) and Young Justice (10:30am/9:30c), but the really big news is the series of shorts that air during commercial breaks. The minute long shorts make use of a variety of animation techniques, including: traditional, CG, and claymation but all have a humorous take on the DC

Many people become vegetarians because of ethical concerns about eating living, breathing, and most importantly feeling animals so you’d think that’s the last thing merchants would want to stir up but anthropomorphic food is alive and well in commercials. These edible mascots are usually all too happy to sacrifice themselves, which usually happens off-screen to avoid unpleasantness (see: Vegetable Suicide), but no matter how sanitized it, there’s something very disturbing
