Very useful stuff if you're making a story.

Foray wins.

Not exactly surprising -- because (1) she is June Foray, (2) she is 94 years old, (3) she has somehow never been nominated prior to this, and (4) SHE IS JUNE FORAY -- but pleasing nonetheless.

EDIT: He's added lots more, and I think beautifully captures my own ambivalence about award shows (whole lotta bullshit but they make some people very happy, and once in a great while they honor someone who really, really deserves it, like say this woman who is quite possibly the greatest voice actor who has ever lived).

Even greater than Mel Blanc?

For a time, it was not uncommon for people to refer to her as "The female Mel Blanc." That prompted her friend (and frequent employer) Chuck Jones to correct folks...

"June Foray is not the female Mel Blanc. Mel Blanc was the male June Foray."

Okay, fair enough.

Didn't this already happen with a totally different pilot?

Edit: nevermind I'm dumb and parts of the pilot are in the trailer. I thought this had already been a show for a year.

is this what I think it is

You'll have to define "this" and "what I think it is".

I see the words "Adult Swim" and "Valve" and can make certain assumptions, but the link's blocked by the work firewall.

A Team Fortress 2 cartoon.

Given that TF2 updated with some weird ARG this week and there is a blog post by the pyro up on the official site, I'm not going to get my hopes up for anything more than Meet the Pyro debuting on Adult Swim.

Lottel · « **Reply #412 on:** June 22, 2012, 01:49:51 PM »

Meet the Pyro is the name of the 13 episode long cartoon.

Mark Evanier spends way too much thought on the Oscar Mayer jingle, ending up with this:

Quote

But as was too typical in cartoons of yesteryear, someone wanted to sell the message that the group is always right and that the one person who takes a different viewpoint is a troublemaker. This commercial may be selling frankfurters but it's also selling the idea that independent thinking is wrong.

Sentences I never expected I would say: Well, that totally explains the Buddy Bears.

Mongrel · « **Reply #414 on:** June 29, 2012, 03:21:04 PM »

I know that damn jingle by heart because my dad used to sing it.

Thad · « **Reply #415 on:** June 29, 2012, 06:07:06 PM »

But you guys remember the Buddy Bears, right?

Upcoming Garfield TV special to be titled Long Lost Lyman.

God dammit, Evanier, you just got me interested in Garfield again.

Airing Friday.

"Waterman has raised a development fund to acquire, option and develop well-recognized family properties and brands that adhere to specific elements that we deem suitable to create CGI/live action hybrid films with potential for licensing and merchandising,"

So Tucker Waterman, tell me: Do you ever feel worried when you look at the spot where your soul was? Even like, second-hand distress or something?

Beat Bandit · « **Reply #418 on:** September 14, 2012, 04:30:33 AM »

Nothing like a homeward bound adventure with built-in GPS. Plus the ending gets a lot more sad when the phone learns it was replaced by the newest model.

No, actually. In my experience, these kind of people view us the way we view them. They sneer down at people who don't do whatever they can to make money at any cost.
