But the Freakazoid! DVD is slipping in the Amazon rankings. It was in the twenties, and it was number two among family animation DVDs. But they are losing ground.

I'd hate to have to shutter the blog because Freakazoid! didn't sell enough DVDs of the first season.

And, of course, I'm not promising that I'll publish a "deep cleavage" shot of myself if sales perk up, but . . . I most certainly won't if they don't.

Remember: every DVD you buy from the first season of Freakazoid! increases the odds that they'll release the second season, despite its containing—the way I got the story, and I might have it wrong— Copyrighted Music That Could Well Cost Money.

1 Hmm...thinking deep thoughts and shallow thoughts... Shallow thought: Do they ship to Malaysia? Deep Thoat: Would that be deep 'upper' cleavage, or deep 'lower' cleavage? 'Cause one would cause me to evaluate the purchase in a 'help-friend-out' manner, and the other would cause me to whip out my plat cred card and buy NOW. Just so you know.

2 You know--your refusal to max out your credit card without any guarantee of any possible return whatsoever was . . . kind of hurtful to me. Can you hear me sniffling over here? I think I might start to cry . . .

Well, you know: as long as I'm pimping, I might as well really pimp:

Okay. That's it. No more animation-blogging from me for, um . . . 48 hours. All right?

X-Box provides some fun coverage of the Freakazoid! and Tiny Toons panel at Comic-Con 2008, which should help to promote the upcoming release of the Freak! and Tiny Toons DVDs. (Both first season DVDs come out on July 29th, but you knew that—right?)

Many of 'em, anyway. Tom Ruegger is conspicuously absent, but for some reason he couldn't make it to Comic-Con.

The writer's sick; we have no script. Why bother to rehearse?

UPDATE: The Freakazoid/Tiny Toons panel at Comic-Con 2008: Bruce Timm, Sherri Stoner, Rich Arons, Andrea Romano, John P. McCann, Paul Dini, Jean MacCurdy, Paul Rugg (moderating).

See if you can recognize the voices of the individual writers/producers commenting on thisFreakazoid!* episode, recently uploaded to YouTube by Warner Brothers to promote the new first-season DVD:

To do that, I think one has to:

1) be paying careful attention;

2) be hella-hardcore as a fan; or

3) be me.

The best thing about Cave Guy was, without doubt, his voice. And the fact that he had a subscription to The New Yorker. One must admit that this is rare in a super-villain.

The Batman allusion, is, of course, quite topical at this moment.

h/t: Write Enough.

* It's my understanding that Spielberg has been bought out, and we can now refer to the series as Freakazoid!, rather than by the rather long, ponderous original title, Steven Spielberg Presents Freakazoid!

I'm sure that if I am incorrect I will be sued regarding this oversight: one does not mess with The Steven.

Naturally, I'm longing to remove the exclamation point from the name of the series, since it screws up my syntax. But it's a short hop from mandating that in the style sheet of one's blog, to mandating a consistent use of the definite article in the titles of periodicals.

Next thing you know, your style dictates that you treat The New York Times the same as the Los Angeles Times, even though the latter does not have a "the" in its name.

The following week, Western Civilization ends, due to a lack of rigor in the style sheet for one's blog, and one is left in a dystopian landscape out of the beginning of The Terminator. "No more big wheels; fleas the size of rats suck on rats the size of cats, and ten thousand peopleoids split into small tribes."

My understanding is that this is bad.

All for lack of a bit of stylistic consistency.

UPDATE:Oh, right: here's part of the original that the commentaries above were lifted from:

Is it me, or was there a lot of Jerry Lewis in the early Freaks? I meant that in the good way, of course . . . Wait. No. I didn't. I never "got" Jerry Lewis, and I watched him, like, almost once or so.
