I'm feeling oh, so nostalgic...

Oh my god. I was just on the iTunes Music Store, my old standby, when I found the biggest possible news in the world: Warner Bros. Television has their TV shows on iTunes!!! They've got their new Aquaman TV show pilot (the one they showed at San Diego Comic Con if I remember correctly), they've got Friends, The Best of MADtv, Babylon 5 (sci-fi goodness that isn't Battlestar Galactica), and two cartoon shows they just so happen to own now that they have the Hanna-Barbera library. I'm not going to go into much detail on the whole H-B acquisition spree, as it is extraordinarily convoluted. These two shows are precursors to such hit shows as Family Guy, The Simpsons, Futurama, and Robot Chicken. Give up? Here's a hint for the first one: "Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, they're the modern Stone Age family". Here is a hint for the second one: "Meet George Jetson..." If you haven't guessed what these are yet, you have been living under a rock with no television since 1960: "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons" are now on iTunes!!! Holy buckets! What did we cartoon fans do right to deserve THIS???

Warner Bros. also has Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain on DVD for the first time! Then, in a Triple Whammy moment, they FINALLY settled their big dispute with King Features and Popeye is coming out on DVD in 2007!!!! Is Warner Brothers finally getting the picture?

The only things that I want now are the Censored Eleven on DVD, the complete Tex Avery WB and MGM film catalogue on DVD, Droopy with a DVD set of his own, with scant amounts of double-dipping, Tom and Jerry Kids on DVD, and Tom and Jerry without the horrific censoring of Tom's black homeowner, and I'll be happier than Porky Pig!!!

OK, cleanup time...

Here's the deal. I have shelved Retro Fungi Radio permanently. I've also Cranky Disney Shareholder for now. Maybe (if I get into a deal with Shane R. Monroe) I'll un-shelve Cranky Disney, as he and his Dual Screen Radio buddy might want to do Cranky Disney with me, as they're Disney sluts.
