Rebel Prince

I was channel surfing a short while back and stumbled upon the BBC’s Cash in the Attic. I recognized one of the presenters, and thought, is that… is it really? Yes, it’s Alistair Appleton! (This screen cap is from House Doctor.) I had such a crush on him back when he hosted an entertainment program called Heat, on the network Deutsche Welle, a sort of German version of Voice of America. “Aus der Mitte Europas.” I have to mimic the motto out loud. It’s a habit.

By the way, thanks to Seyd for rekindling the flame.

Could it be? Family Guy returning to Fox? Please let it be so.

In a sign of the growing importance of DVD sales to Hollywood, 20th Century Fox is considering a plan to resume production of Family Guy, a sometimes crude animated comedy that the Fox network took off the air more than 18 months ago.

As many as 35 new episodes could return in January 2005, marking the first time that a canceled series has been revived based on strong DVD demand and ratings in syndication.

Seriously, Family Guy is one of the funniest… nay, the funniest and most clever thing I’ve seen on television.
