ThoraSEB

FOX Network

After only 9 episodes, cult sitcom ThoraSEB has been cancelled by the FOX Network. In a statement FOX stated, "While we appreciate the work done on the program, we feel that the series is not a perfect fit in our lineup at this time." ThoraSEB Message Boards immediately lit up in defiance.

Said ThoraFAN91: F FOX! They woulnd't kno a gud sho if it hit them in the face. I hate FOX now. BOYCOTT FOX!

The sitcom, about a high school girl dealing with family and social issues including, but not limited to sex, drugs and the prom, has not placed over 9th in weekly ratings. Despite rave reviews and a cult following, the show has yet to break into the mainstream.

Bouncing between time slots has not helped either. The show's pilot premeired during the Super Bowl, and it's weekly slot was up against American Idol, one of the country's highest rated shows. The show's rating's peaked in February when it was placed against the President's State of the Union Address, attracting 6.1 million viewers.

Rumours of a big screen adaptation immedietly began circlating. "Maybe now [creater and head writer] Tim [Bronson] can get his movie made. I WANT TO SEE HIS TRUE VISION FOR THORA AND HER [witty pals]," said I<3ThoraSEB on the ThoraSEB.com message board.

Bronson issued a reaction to the cancelling on his personal website. "This has been an uphill battle from Day 1. We started out rough, and then were bounced around the schedule, and just as the show starts to hit it's stride, FOX cancels it. I am saddened and disappointed, but I will not give up on this show. The world needs a show about a teenage girl that has to deal with hard hitting issues in today's world, and do so in a way that The OC, My Sweet 16, Joan of Arcadia, Veronica Mars, Freaks and Geeks, Square Pegs, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, 90210, etc do not. With realism and intelligence."

FOX announced that all aired episodes and 3 unaired episodes will be collected and released on DVD in July.
 
LJT

The Children's Television Workshop

Sesame Street, USA - In an effort to clean up his image, disgraced icon LJT offered to sponsor an episode of the childrens television program Sesame Street, but The Children's Television Workshop, the group responsible for putting Sesame Street on each day, refused.

"We just don't think that today's program should be brought to you by LJT," said William "Grover" Paulson. "It's just not the association we want kids to make with our show."

In January LJTs road to ruin began with what appeared at first to be a traffic stop due to a moving violation. "I pulled over this 1978 cadillac, thinking it was Oscar [Le Grouche] out boozing again. I was gonna take him down to detox again, no big deal. But when I get up there, some dude with long hair starts throwing bottles at me. Full bottles. Of liquor. No way Oscar's gonna waste good alcohol. That's when I called for backup." So says Officer Gordon Robinson. "30 years on the job no one's ever thrown a bottle at me."

Backup arrived. Says Officer Luis Rodriguez, "I got there and I knew that it wasn't Oscar. I had arrested him earlier in the night for harrasing Big Bird. I threw him into lockup, so when Gordon called and said Oscar's Caddy was out, I knew what was up. When I threw Oscar in the drunk tank, he was screaming at me, calling me all sorts of names. Well this time I had a little spiel prepared, so I guess as I was orating, LJT got out. I had picked him earlier for trying to solicit Alice [Snuffleupagus]."

LJT crashed the Caddillac into the Lemonade Stand, seriously hurting Elmo and putting the car out of commition. With the two officers in pursuit, LJT jumped out of the car and brandished what appeared to be a gun. He picked up the wounded Elmo, put the gun to his head and threatened to kill if the officer's came any closer.

CWT reporter Kermit the Frog arrived shortly after with his film crew and began broadcasting the events, which eventually ended when LJT fell asleep as Elmo "bored the shit outta me with his stupid goddamn songs".

Two weeks later, after posting bond and being placed on probation, LJT struck again. This time breaking into the General Store, once owned my the late Mr. Hooper, and stealing items. He stands trial for vandalism as well as theft as the phrase "THIS BREAK-IN BRUGHT 2U BY LJT!? STFU! AHAHAHGGG>....." was found written on the wall.

In March, LJT's standing on The 'Street was further hurt by allegations that he had been living with alleged drug dealer Paul "Cookie" Monster. Mr. Monster, through his lawyer, denies any relationshp with LJT . "Mr LJT and I have had as much contact as you would have with any of the people in your neighborhood. In your neighborhood."

In April, a tearful LJT went on SSTV. In an interview with Mr. Frog, LJT said, "Growing up on the Street, it's hard. Whenever we would play 'One of these kids is doing his own thing' I was always the one doing his own thing. Smoking a cigarette, drinking a beer, freebasing heroin, beating a cop....you know. I used to think it was cool, used to think I was a rebel....but now I see...I'm just scared. Scared of the real world."

During the intervew JLT vowed to work hard and raise enough money to bring the world an episode of Sesame Street. "You'll see, Frog, you'll see. One day the show will end with the magical words, 'Sesame Street was brought to you by LJT.' And then I'll feel I'm on the right path."

Yesterday LJT went to the CWT's main offices and offered to pay for an episode with money he made helping Mr. Monster with his sanitation business and by running errands for Terence "Telly" Lodispoto. He saved up enough to produce one full episode and even got Snoop Doggy Dog to guest host. The CWT turned him down.

"We have ample sponsorship for the program at this time. We appreciate LJTs offer and we hope in the future to work with him on a program. Snoop Dog will appear on Wednesday's show as planned, but it would brought to you by the Letter K and the Number 7."

LJT will face trial on June 23rd.

"Ain't no way you getting back into this box...not without a ring."
"Baby...you know I love that box...c'mon. Let me back in...."
"I don't see no ring, Jack. No ring, no box. End of discussion."

James Spader: A little lingering doubt, perhaps Andrew McCarthy?You know, you gotta give her credit. After you dumped her, she went out and found herself probably the most interesting date...

Andrew McCarthy: James...You buy everything. You couldn't buy her, that's what's killing you.

James Spader: I don't wanna listen...

Andrew McCarthy: James. That's it, James. She thinks you're shit. And deep down, you know she's right.

Uber beaver = Douglas Adams

“well you can’t simply go back, it’s against the rules, and that’s that.”
“you sure? I mean if you allowed Jesus to get away with it, and half of all the bleeding hindus, why not me? Me thinks, you might be a wee bit impartial in this respect.”
“you leave my son out of this! That was a totally different situation. And as for the hindus, that has nothing to do with me, it’s part of an imbalance in the equat…”
“ah, so you have seen the Matrix! I knew it! I just knew it! All of you preachy types, pretending like you never watch Tinsel town trash, EVERYBODY watches the puree with sick fascination”
“look erm, what exactly is it that you want again?”
“well, it’s simple. I want to go back. Look at it this way, nobody will have to know about the Carry On DVD series you’ve got hidden back there.”
“HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW ABOUT THAT?????”
“well, you just told me – so do we have ourselves a deal then?”
“not quite. It is technically against the rules for you to go back, but…I could cook up something by borrowing a page from the Hindus”
“wot are you talking about?”
“well you can’t go back as yourself, but I could arrange to send you back in another body, how’s that sound to you?”
“oh wait, and since you were famous and all as a notable English writer, it might be slightly more prudent to send you back as a Yank – they’re notoriously well known for corrupting the language.”
“I can’t go back as an American!”
“no-no, you need to annunciate as though you had an incurable sinus problem, it is “C-A-N-T” …focus on the “N” or else this will not work – try it with me”

“C-A-N-T”
“C-A-N-T”
"C-A-N-T ”
“C-A-N-T”
“C-A-N-T”
“C-A-N-T”
“C-A-N-T”
“C-A-N-T”

“Enough! My ears are bleeding, you’ve got it right!...now there is one other little thing that remains…”
“and wot, pray tell, might that be?”
“well you must remain invisible, erm, not call any attention to yourself or your cover might be blown – I’m afraid no more best sellers for you”
“but that’s everything! You C-A-N-T ask me to stop writing! It’s my life!”
“hmm, you have a point, I wouldn’t want you back here just after you left, how about you tone it down a notch or two eh? Let’s see…perhaps try your hand at something on the net? Find a niche for yourself somewhere online where you can express yourself”
“heya, big guy, I know just the scene, there’s this bunch of weirdos devoted to something called U2, I could spot a home there and do my thing!, I’ve been tinkering around with this idea for people’s alter egos”
“that sounds splendid Douglas, quite a gimmick, I’m certain you’ll be very good at it too, sounds exactly like your scene”
“Grand! Settled then it is, thanks a tonne old man!”
“Douglas, it’s T-O-N, and chips in America are what come inside shiny plastic bags. You would do well to remember such differences. Might I suggest you start off in a neutral place like Canada? Work your way down to America, like all other Canadians do”
“yeah perhaps, but no thanks, I can’t exactly be in a country that is proud to have a “loony” as its coinage, yuck! Wait, I have an idea, you have a point in that it is going to take an effort getting accustomed to Yanglish. I should position myself closer to the 49th, that way I could get away with a few errors here and there. New Yawk Baby! New Yawk!”

Sigh.
 
Uber, Douglas Adams is/was one of my favourite writers, you've got a great wit about you. reading the entire segment was a lot of laughs. Kudos.
 
So my archnemesis would be God, Himself? Bitchin'. It's on, dude, it's fuckin' on.

Thanks for the story and the compliments. Both appreciated. I've never read Adams, but always meant to get Hitchhiker's Guide.

Thanks again.
