[adult swim]’s new comedy is just brilliant: Delocated
“Jon” and “Susan” and their son “David” are in the Federal Witness Protection Program. And they agreed to do a reality TV show, so they wear ski masks and use voice modifiers. This is the funniest show I’ve seen in a long time.
Simpsons 2.0
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009Check out The Simpsons’ new main title, which debuted last Sunday in honor of the first HD episode of the show. The HD intro parodies the now-delayed DTV transition, and despite being a lot longer than the old version, was amusing. I wonder if this will be a mainstay?

Afro Samurai: Resurrection
Monday, February 2nd, 2009
Last week, Spike TV premiered “Afro Samurai: Resurrection,” the long-awaited sequel to the 2007 animated hit, “Afro Samurai.”
In a few words: it was (once again) brilliant!
For those of you who’ve missed out on the first round:
In a feudal yet futuristic Japan, there is a “Number One” headband – the possessor of which lives as a warrior demigod. The only person who can challenge the Number One is the person with the Number Two headband . . . and anyone can challenge the Number Two. Samuel L. Jackson is the voice of Afro Samurai, a warrior bent on making his way to the Number One to avenge his father’s death. In the sequel (look out, giving a few things away), Afro Samurai has to regain his title by facing the vengeance of several defeated allies . . . including his resurrected father.
The Music Score:
