I was watching a couple Simpsons commentaries this morning while everyone was sleeping. I have to stay up all night (even on my days off) or my whole schedule gets out of whack. I got bored with my snack foods so I started mixing them up a bit. I was eating handfuls of M&M's with handfuls of pretzels, and I gotta say - it was pretty good. I prefer a 3:1 ratio of M&M's:pretzels.

It's going to be a sad day when my metabolism finally slows to a trot.

I realized this morning that all the shows I watch are cartoons. Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, South Park, Samurai Jack... basically the entire Adult Swim line-up on the Cartoon Network. The only live show I still catch regularly is Dave Chappelle.

This got me thinking about a TV show I loved that got cancelled. I didn't watch it as much when it was on the air, but isn't that the way it always goes. The show was called Clone High. It had a brief run on MTV (a source of several failed cartoons). I think it might still air in Canada.

The show was all about teenage clones of famous celebrities, all going to the same High School with an evil principal. The primary stars were Abe Lincoln, JFK, Cleopatra, and Ghandi. There were also non-celebrity personas, like Mr. Butler-tron, a butler robot, and Principal Scudworth, his evil boss. The rest of the students were all celebs and historical figures.

The writers of the show were hillarious, and the voice talents were excellent. It's a gem if you get a chance to watch any of the 12 episodes that actually aired. Abandoned Pools provided the soundtrack and they actually had a couple (real) celebrities on the show. I pray they release the DVD someday or, better yet, bring back the show. I doubt it though.

So write your congressional and mayoral reps and we'll find out how to get it back on the air. Together... we can make a difference
