When culture pops, we wipe it up ...

Yeah, this is not a good week to be Seth MacFarlane. First there was the trouble with that intentionally altered Family Guy clip, and now the long suffering The Cleveland Show might be getting the axe, according to Entertainment Weekly ... FOX issued a few talking points about The Cleveland Show reports that pretty much reiterate what’s already been out there, though the network put stronger emphasis on the point that no decision has been MORE
A couple months back, Family Guy ran an episode where Peter wins the Boston Marathon by driving his car through it, then bombs the Quahog bridge in two completely different scenes that have nothing to do with each other. Unfortunately, someone saw those, said "HERP DERP CONSPIRACY!" and tried to frame it as Seth MacFarlane either predicting the bombings or somehow acting as the government's puppet or ... something. Honestly, the whole falls apart MORE
Yesterday, Facebook decided to explode every which way it could with the news that there was allegedly going to be a Friends reunion on Thanksgiving in 2014. Because if there's one thing the internet loves, it's sh!t from the 90's that white people watched. Well, sorry to break it to you but it's not happening everyone. [Insert sad trombone noise here.] Via HuffPo ... Reports claimed that NBC confirmed a revival of the popular sitcom and it MORE
To plug last night's return of Community (which was really good, even if Dan Harmon was no longer there) the writers of the show went on Reddit to do an AMA, where they revealed that, not only do Troy and Abed have a floating couch and ottoman, but thanks to a hidden camera planted by Abed, there may or may not be a secret sex tape hidden in the continuity of the show. Via EW ... Ganz said is always surprised that fans find the easter eggs so MORE
Okay, who caught the final episode episode of 30 Rock last night? Because IT WAS SO GOOD. Everyone got a happy ending, Jenna sang her Rural Juror song, and Lutz got his Blimpy's. Everyone was as it should be. And to commemorate the end of the show, Ben & Jerry's launched a new flavor in honor of the show and Tina Fey ... What the what?!? We’re very excited to announce our newest flavor in honor of NBC's 30 Rock: Liz Lemon Greek Frozen MORE
I've been so miserable over the impending end of 30 Rock -- after last night's episode, I spent a good hour staring out the window forlornly while Adele's hit song "Someone Like You" looped over and over in the background -- that I almost forgot that Community is coming back (Thursday, February 7th at 8pm) after a very long hiatus! So here's a little remix video from NBC, plugging the new season. SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE! MORE
It's been two weeks since Community was supposed to air, but didn't because NBC is dumb like that. Way to try and recreate the days of Seinfeld with shows about monkey doctors. Anyway, despite being one of the smarter comedies on TV, it got delayed at the last minute, and according to Entertainment Weekly, the show is now slated to premiere on February 7th! Yay! October 19th really is in your hearts! The timeline just brightened: NBC has MORE
To be honest, I was one of those people who came into The Office pretty late in the game, so by the time I started watching it, Pam had already had her baby and everyone was saying that the show should have ended with Pam and Jim's wedding in season five. So that's when I stopped watching it, which is for the best because at least this way it felt like the show went out on a really high note. Anyway, for those who kept watching long after that, MORE
Amy Poehler and the rest of the Parks and Recreation gang are returning on September 20th for a fifth season (22 episodes) and they're teasing the highly-anticipated premiere with spots poking fun at the Olympics. Well, mind you the Olympics are over now, but still, they're funny, plus one features Andy (cutie Chris Pratt) half-naked and covered in shaving cream, so there's that! (H/T The A.V. Club) MORE
To be honest, I really do like Modern Family. I mean, I'm not head-over-heels in love with it the way I am with certain other shows (no one can ever replace you, my darling RuPaul's Drag Race ...) but I still really enjoy it. That being said, it looks like some of the contracts might not be completely on the level, or so says this lawsuit filed by all the adult cast members of the show, claiming that the contracts aren't legal and that they want MORE
Look, I know not everyone is super psyched about some of the changes happening to Community, but in all likelihood, the show will more or less remain the same. It has enough of its core cast and crew to maintain its oddball credentials, and although it would have been nice to keep Dan Harmon on the show, chances are it won't end up completely neutered. Anyway, in light of the massive backlash it faced, NBC went on the record to say they're really MORE
Back when Dan Harmon was ousted as the showrunner of Community, then subsequently replaced with Moses Port and David Guarascio, fans worried that the show they knew and loved was essentially over and the entire structure of the show would be upended. Except it turns out Port and Guarascio are not only partially responsible for the sleeper hit Happy Endings, but they're huge Community fans themselves, and have promised not to ruin the show. Via MORE
So there's this little thing called Comic-Con going on right now -- maybe you've heard of it? -- and a big part of that involves awesome geeky shows pandering to their fans to help keep them on the air. Which is why we have the latest gag reel from Community which prominently features Alison Brie rapping as well as Danny Pudi saying "My teet!" which will shatter your image of Abed forever. Oh, and also there was some talk going on at Comic-Con MORE
A couple weeks ago, Community aired one of its best episodes ever, Digital Estate Planning, which featured the cast as 8-bit characters in a video game world. Maybe it was the fact that it was loaded with video game references (including a hidden bit about Pokemon's Missingno.) or that it featured Shirley unleashing her murderous bad-ass, or that it was just a well-written episode with an emotional backbone, but I loved it. And thanks to the MORE
