Futurama will be returning next summer (2010) on Comedy Central, and possibly on broadcast networks as well. Overall this is good news, but the budget will be smaller, which means fewer writers and cheaper animation. Could this mean no more 3D segments? Who knows, but expect almost all of the original cast and crew to return.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
When I recently read about a Clone Wars cartoon, I thought I might have accidentally stumbled on an old article. I remembered the Emmy winning 2003 Clone Wars cartoon. Now Lucas has created another Clone Wars cartoon. Stupid mistake on my part; the original was called Star Wars: Clone Wars, while the new show as a completely different name – Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Both take place between episodes II and III.
The official site has a trailer and a video intro to the series.
Overall, the animation looks like they did it with a video game rendering engine, embellished in parts. Perhaps they’re borrowing technology from The Force Unleashed. Of course, it sure sounds like Star Wars.

Amusing animation about your desktop after hours. I loved the ending.
Strongbadassmofo
So when I tell you about the awesomeness that is the Strongbad email, you should be saying, “duh”. ‘Cause you knew about it like only a million years ago. Pfffffft. But if you’re not saying that, you have a crapload of hilarious web pages to go through. And also, you’re not as cool as me (but you knew that). So get crackin’! Also, there are a lot of easter eggs, especially at the end of the episodes, so you end up waving your mouse cursor all over the damn screen like you’ve got Parkinson’s, searching for a cool extra tidbit. And it’s worth it.
Apologies to those with Parkinson’s. Peace.
