Scientists OK Gore's Movie for Accuracy

Link: Scientists OK Gore's Movie for Accuracy.

The nation's top climate scientists are giving "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's documentary on global warming, five stars for accuracy.

The former vice president's movie _ replete with the prospect of a flooded New York City, an inundated Florida, more and nastier hurricanes, worsening droughts, retreating glaciers and disappearing ice sheets _ mostly got the science right, said all 19 climate scientists who had seen the movie or read the book and answered questions from The Associated Press.

"Futurama" Pulls a "Family Guy" - Yahoo! News

Link: "Futurama" Pulls a "Family Guy" - Yahoo! News.

Comedy Central is going back to the Futurama. Three years after the show last aired on prime time, the cable net has signed a deal to resurrect the former Fox animated series for a minimum 13-episode run. Comedy Central will start airing the new shows in 2008.

HURRAH! This is one of my favorite shows. Although I was lukewarm when it was first aired, I've grown to love it as much, or more than, The Simpsons. Yes, Family Guy is also good and very funny and I also love King of the Hill, but Futurama is special to me. The writing was always tight, like the early years of The Simpsons, and the animation, a combination of traditional and computer-generated, was always first-rate. I've been glued to Adult Swim since it's inception, not for the new material, but for the Futurama and Family Guy reruns. I am so happy that I'll get to see some first-run episodes, again.
