It's so weird that I forgot to post about this, last Wednesday Chuck and I went to watch a special screening of a couple of episodes of "Father of the Pride", a new Dreamworks animated series, starring John Goodman. You may have seen a preview of it on T.V. for the fall line-up. It was really funny, and not all cutesy funny, but edgy funny, as well. I would say that one of the best lines was...whoops! I almost forgot. I'm not supposed to divulge anything about it. Well, it involves a dentist and an insufficient dose of Nitrous Oxide. It was so bad that some people reacted to the joke after the fact. IT WAS FUNNY. The show is about a family of rare white lions, who work in Siegfried and Roy's show (don't worry, the white tigers are there, too -ironically enough, as the antagonists). It may sound like a strange premise, but even S&R are hilarious characters. They have a perfect mix of naivety and attitude to satire the over-the-top showmen. Try a couple of episodes out this fall. It may be an acquired taste for some, but I think it will give at least a couple of good seasons before NBC pulls the plug.
