– My favorite discovery from the 2014 television season has to be Cartoon Network’s Rick and Morty, which takes the character relationship of Doc and Marty (more or less) from Back to the Future and transplants them into Doctor Who style adventures with some the sharpest humor I’ve seen in an animated program since Archer first hit the air. The series, created by Dan Harmon (Community) and Justin Roiland, has had its first season available on Blu-ray for awhile now. If you can handle some cruder, gross-out moments, I highly recommend it.
This week, Cartoon Network announced that Rick and Morty will return on Sunday, July 26th. Additionally, Roiland and Harmon guest-wrote the couch gag for the upcoming season finale of The Simpsons, which you can watch below:
– Speaking of The Simpsons, yesterday saw the news that Harry Shearer, the longtime voice of characters like Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner, and many other members of the show’s rich world, would be parting ways with the series. According to some reports, there’s still a chance that Shearer may come to terms with the show’s producers, but the roles are expected to be recast at this point.
I haven’t watched The Simpsons in years, but I’m hoping this paves the way for a Spinal Tap reunion.
– From the set of Captain America: Civil War, via JustJared, here’s the first image of Crossbones’ costume:
– Seth Rogen tweeted out the first on-set image from AMC’s Preacher last night, which sees Dominic Cooper’s Jesse Custer talking with Ian Colletti’s Arseface:
– According to Collider, the sequel to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes now has a title: War of the Planet of the Apes. It’s a bit of a mouth-full, but I guess no one would go see a movie called “Monkey Fight”, which I was lobbying pretty hard for.
– Lastly, there’s a pretty great True Detective Season 2 teaser out now via HBO. I may be more excited about this premiere than any other show this year, even the Mad Men finale!

LOL
Looks like we’d better start controlling those primates!
I love banana bread – strangely enough I just made some last night
This is hilarious!!! I’ll start building my bunker, now. Will the underground librarians still require a card and charge late fees??? This is too funny.
Jemi: Mmm…bananas. What do you think my predilection for primates says about me? I barely have opposable thumbs, myself…
TK:
I’m with you. Let’s build our sewer summer home now. Then we’ll be ready for the bibliopalypse!
Jenny,
Thanks for the necessity of a mid-day shower. I couldn’t stop laughing.
I guess I shall adopt a few primates between now and 2012 and life should be good for awhile.
You’re writiing style cracks me up!
Cat: Yes, I think adopting Marcel the spider monkey is a good move in light of our future.
Psst…invest in paw friendly keyboards. Just sayin.
HAHAHA! Honestly Scarlet, what ARE you sniffing? And can I have some?
Alas, the psychedelic visions have subsided and the glue is all gone.
