You know that '90s Cadbury commercial with the Easter Bunny auditions?
I saw that earlier today (i.e. Ash Wednesday).
R.I.P. Robert A. Altman, lawyer and video game executive who co-founded ZeniMax Media, the company involved with franchises such as Doom, The Elder Scrolls, Commander Keen and Fallout.
A bit of morbid trivia I discovered a few nights ago:
Four of the voice actors on The Brave Little Toaster (the original) have died...in their 40s.
Phil Hartman (Air Conditioner, Hanging Lamp)- 49
Joe Ranft (Elmo St. Peters, Clown)- 45
Jonathan Benair* (Black and White TV)- 47
Judy Toll (Mish Mash, Two-Face Sewing Machine)- 44
*Also appeared in the "to the Rescue" sequel.
R.I.P. David Richardson, writer and producer who worked on shows such as Empty Nest, The Simpsons (he wrote "Homer Loves Flanders" and produced 11 other episodes for the fifth season), The John Larroquette Show, My Big Fat Greek Life, Malcolm in the Middle, Two and a Half Men and F is for Family.
You know that animated Rybelsus commercial? The one with a punk rock version of "You Are My Sunshine"?
Turns out the whole reason it was animated was because of the pandemic: Novo Nordisk debuts animated Rybelsus ad after COVID-19 nixed film shoot
R.I.P. to musicians Tim Bogert (Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Beck, Bogert & Appice) and Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls). Both passed away on January 13.
20 years ago today, iTunes launched. Originally focused primarily on music, it later expanded into video, podcasts, e-books and mobile apps.
Also 20 years ago this day, Apple released Mac OS 9.1, one of the last versions of their classic operating system.
Happy 98th, Larry Storch! For those who don't know, Storch was the first to voice the Joker. He is also known for voiceover roles such as Mr. Whoopee in Tennessee Tuxedo, Koko the Clown in the '60s revival of Out of the Inkwell, Cool Cat in WB7A cartoons, and Drac and Ratso in Groovie Goolies.
R.I.P. to Alto Reed, saxophonist for Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band, and Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers, known for songs such as "How Do You Do It?" (which was almost released by the Beatles).
50 years ago today, American radio and television advertisements for cigarettes became a thing of the past, thanks to the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act.
New Year's Day 1971 was the last legal day for such commercials in the U.S., due to a compromise for broadcasting college football bowl games.
Among the things I got for Christmas this year were three Garfield ornaments, the Here Comes Garfield single, and Charlie Brown's Holiday Hits on CD (which I was listening to when I wrote this).
R.I.P. Chad Stuart of Chad & Jeremy and K.T. Oslin ("80's Ladies").
A few nights ago, I took some pictures of the early part of the lunar eclipse. Unfortunately, clouds in the sky likely downed a view during the peak (not to mention oversleeping it).
R.I.P. Norm Crosby, "The Master of Malaprop".
Happy 106th to Norman Lloyd, known for his work with Alfred Hitchcock, as well as appearing in St. Elsewhere and Dead Poets Society. His latest acting credential was in Trainwreck (2015).
Think this year is the first we get any PSAs with "We're all in this together"? Think again.
(Just the first one...I think)
MeTV will be airing The Flintstones Meet Rockula and Frankenstone at 9 PM EST tonight. This marks the first time, I think, that the channel has aired anything Flintstones beyond the original show. -

It looks like San Diego Comic Con will once again be virtual, with the event being held from July 23-25. They hopefully plan to have large, in person conventions in 2022, but it seems like a smaller venue will be held in November. In addition, Wonder Con will be virtual again, and be held from March 26-27.
About Butch Hartman's debacle s an artist recently, the dude is so much better than this. At least it's not something like being accused of something like Sexual harassment but, yeah disappointing to say the least.
