Emmy nominations have been announced, and, while there are the usual Tina Fey and Steve Carell nods, a few surprises have been thrown in. One of the most unexpected performance nominations went to Jemaine Clement, for his work on HBO’s Flight of the Conchords. Sure, the inclusion of Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons was pretty […]
Voice actors … the unsung heroes of cartoons produced for television. Since the first Crusader Rabbit aired in 1949, these folks have tirelessly voiced millions of characters, in thousands of cartoons, sometimes doing more than one voice in each cartoon.

Maybe the biggest hurdle I’m facing is that […]
Thank you, ABC. Though you may be insensitive bastards who decided to cancel Eli Stone, you at least had the balls to finish the season and give fans some form of closure.
