No, it isn’t an iHop breakfast. It’s something even more sinister:
TeamTVWriter Press Service has just learned (read “We got a press release”) that the WWE and Saban Brands have joined forces to produce SATURDAY MORNING SLAM, a kids show on the WC. It’s the first time in over a decade that the WWE has had a show in a kids time slot, and if that doesn’t prove that society is breaking down, nothing does.
Remember how comic books fans were all furrowed brows and sputtering talk back in ’09 when Disney absorbed Marvel? How the fans were worried that Disney would dilute/sully/demean/cheapen/totally screw the Marvel brand?
Remember how relieved fans were when the Marvel feature films stayed as fresh and exciting and authentic as the first IRON MAN had been after the new regime was in place?
How they/you/we heaved big sighs of relief and went back to cursing more important things, like the economy, Microsoft, and health care in the U.S.A.?
Except that in this case it’s Texas:
TMZ.com reports that country singer Randy Travis was arrested after what could be the mother of bad nights…or maybe just a blip to him, who knows?
…And unless it turns out that all his wonderful films have been written/directed/saved by a mysteriously talented stranger, this is very good news:
