The Cleveland Show



Recently announced by the FOX network, The Cleveland Show will coming to a screen near you in 2009. As you've probably guessed its a Family Guy spin-off and will likely be a rip of The Cosby Show but with the addition of Seth MacFarlane's twisted sense of humour.

Looking at the only picture available at the moment it seems Cleveland now has three kids (including a black version of Stewie and Chris Griffin) and a new wife. He has white neighbours (probably British or German at a guess) on one side so expect a load of racial humour and on the other side it looks like the neighbours are massive guinea pigs that probably talk. What's that about?

Family Guy is a very hit and miss show for me. Don't get me wrong, when the jokes and flashbacks seem relevant its hilarious but its just not consistently good when compared to South Park for example, one of my most favourite comedies.

Cleveland isn't my most favourite character from Family Guy (I really don't like the slow and boring way he speaks) but I'm willing to give the pilot episode a chance when it becomes available next year.

Star Tours Disneyland



Oh wow! I was just clicking on some of the related links to the Star Wars: Clone War trailer (found in one of the previous posts) and came across this. Its the entire ride and everything else for Star Tours at Disneyland, California.

This takes me back many many years. I absolutely loved this ride but can't believe it was just 4 minutes long! I'm sure we (me and my family) queued up for at least an hour just to go on it. It was worth it for the experience!

For its age I'm amazed the original ride is still around. According to Wikipedia, a sequel/prequel ride is on the cards, utilising funky CGI graphics and 3D technology.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)


W'oh! Where did 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' come from? Its a full length animated movie and judging from the trailer looks pretty cool, definitely worth a watch.

The only thing that made me cringe was the idea of a story surrounding Jabba's son, that sounds a bit crappy to me.
