TV Why Are People on the Internet Freaking Out About Jay Leno Bumping Conan O'Brien...

When the true crime is that Freakazoid! has been off the air for over a decade and no one has done a goddamn thing about it!

while the greatest cartoon ever made may be off the air, at least they did release all 2 seasons on DVD. So technically, something has been done about it.

Now I'm reliving my anger about Freakaziod being cancelled.

Ms. Seling, when your salary review comes around, please remember to submit as evidence the comment bouquets for your "Sugar Rush" column and this post. You are underappreciated and undervalued by your employer: your subject matter and writing samples must be emphasized. You might throw in a "bring back arrested development" petition so you can get 100+ comments of dittoes, amens and meet Chicago Fan's challenge.

The only interesting thing about Conan O'Brian was watching his pompadour erode over the ages...

Hello, commenter @ #5.

When your salary review for that blog you write for (you know, the one with all the readership) comes around, please remember to submit as evidence your profound, scathing criticism of Ms. Seling's authorship abilities. Your several valid (and might I add, well-referenced) points about the factual errors and logical fallacies in her writing will, I'm sure, be a permanent scar on her journalistic career.

And when you do get that salary increase - be sure to invite all the people who read and comment on your blog pieces around for drinks. I'm sure it'll be a blast.
