DMX has agreed to appear on the OWN network's hit show Iyanla: Fix My Life.
Host Iyanla Vanzant will help X as he tries to overcome his various problems on the show's second season, which is set to being in April. Last year, he appeared on VH1's Couple's Therapy, where he broke down crying several times while trying to repair his relationship with his estranged wife Tashira.
Fix My Life was recently renewed by OWN, with the network founder Oprah Winfrey saying, "I am amazed at Iyanla Vanzant's gift to just cut through the layers of people's pain and their baggage, and create a space in all of their hoarded junk emotionally. At the end of every show, you can see there is a crack, an opening for healing."

Canada Metal zincs are composed of an alloy that meets Mil-Spec MIL-A-18001 for sacrificial anodes. This alloy is mostly zinc, but with measurable concentrations of cadmium (~0.1%) and aluminum (~0.25%).
The additional cadmium causes the anode to erode from the surface inward, which causes a ''sandblasted'' appearance to the surface. When the anode is almost dissolved, it needs to be replaced.

Don't Try This at Home
Game On: Jackass: The Game, PS2, PSP, $29.99, M for Mature
For years MTV has warned you "not to recreate or re-enact any stunt or activity performed on this show."
Not you, and not your dumb little buddies. No one was supposed to compete with the on-screen antics attempted on "Jackass." Until now. Welcome to "Jackass: The Game," an interactive version of the popular television show that challenges players to push taste and safety to their limits in the name of big laughs.
In this show that's part reality TV at its lowest, part daredevil stunt show, part fraternity prank and part Dadaist action, skaters and troublemakers have turned getting hurt into an art form — and a way of getting laughs. If you haven't seen the show, just think of the dumbest thing your brother ever did when he was a kid that almost got him killed. Then double the stakes, and do it again and again for a video camera. Whether it's eating and regurgitating a goldfish or pouring snapping crayfish down your pants, the guys on "Jackass" have thought of it, and tried it.
Placing the player in the role of substitute director, the game features 30-plus mini-games consisting of dangerous and just-plain-gross stunts that earn cash based on injuries incurred and goals accomplished. In the game-opening Precipice Pachinko, players shove one of their favorite Jackasses off a cliff, then tilt the landscape back and forth in an effort to break, bruise and beat up the hapless dupe as he tumbles on the rocks. Cue up Chris Pontius or Ryan Dunn, and you earn cash and laughs by upping the "abrasion meter" grinding across the landscape. Or focus on speed and earn more cash by gaining enough downhill momentum to launch the character through the sky, accomplishing air-time goals. The better the stunt, the better the MTV episode, and the more money with which to make the next installment.
Whether it involves diving into elephant dung, sling-shoting people across neighborhood yards and into greenhouses, or dancing the way only Party Boy knows how — in public and wearing nothing much more than a G-string — the game captures the show's dumb-guy thrill of being the funniest and most reckless male in your circle of friends.While no one will mistake "Jackass: The Game" for an AAA title, the game captures a little of the impish and mad magic of the original television program and movies. And, whether you admit it or not, deep down all guys like to chuckle at their friends' trying to do something amazing — and failing. Whether he's falling off a skateboard or losing the contents of his stomach on a dare to eat something disgusting, the other guy's pain is our pleasure.
Because the game siphons enough of the original charm from the show to keep its basic gag alive, you feel a little like you are a part of the nonsense. It's almost enough to convince you that, when the on-screen character doubles over in pain, it's really Johnny Knoxville, and you were the one to deliver the devastating blow.

September 1 marked the start of Hunger Action Month, an annual event bringing awareness to America's fight against domestic hunger. The USDA reports that an estimated 49 million people living in the U.S. are uncertain of where they'll find their next meal, which means 1 out of every 6 people are going hungry on any given day.
This month, the Feeding America network of more than 200 food banks is aiming to bring awareness by encouraging us all to speak out against hunger. There are countless ways you can help, including:
- Donate your time or resources to your nearest local food bank, which you can find using Feeding America's Food Bank Locator application.
- Send a personal postcard to your local representative through Feeding America's Facebook application.
- Speak out against hunger by sharing a hunger fact on Facebook or Twitter.

turn 0 ---> Aaginor
Aaginor, the leader of the Incas has been chosen by the almighty god himself to rule over the whole world.
So he sent his minions out to conquer the world.
Turn 0 to Stavros
Turn 0 -> Arthur...
I know Arthur is having some problms with his system, and you can't really Next Turn his first turn. I could play it to the best of my abilities and pass it on, but I don't like doing that either.... You with us again Arthur?
Yeah it would kinda suck to pass his first turn even though he took the trouble to contact us and let us know of his problem. I dunno .. he didn't ask anyone to play his turn for him though.
Wish Arthur would give us some input on what Stavros should do now. Or hopefully let us know if he has his game fixed.
Hey Stavros. I saw in a some other games that they are continuing Arthur's turn by pressing end. Since we would mess his civ up if we did that, why dont you play Arthur's turn to the best of your abilities and pass the turn on.
My suggestion is just press the N key and pass to the next player. It's more fair to him than somebody play his turn and when he opened the game, he don't know where he's stand.
I'd be willing to play his civ for a turn or two, so as to get him well established.
If you're in terested in this solution, send me the turn.
so whats the plan?
To make the game moving, my suggestion is still the same. Press the N key and passed to the next player.
And be sure to e-mail arthur about it, as he mention it on his post.
agreed. Stavros. Let pass the game on.. just hit end on Arthur's turn. Seeing that he hasn't updated us on his situation, we have to assume the worst and that he has been unable to figure out the cause of the problem, and so unable to fix it.
OK > Turn Nexted
Turn 0 -> jafo
turn 1 -> krzsiek
Seem that jafo not post his turn
Turn 1 to Aaginor
I don't know what's happening with arthur, so I next turned and sent on to King Thor, as well as sending the turn to arthur. It might be time to look for a substitute, before it gets too late...
Thanks, I'll be playing my turn in 4 hours. (when I get home from work)
About Arthur's civ. Ask some of the people you know are fun to play with in some of your other games to join this one.
Or ofcourse we could email Rick erkins and have him take over the civ. I'm fine with both. But lets do it before Arthur's civ gets turn 2.
BTW.. this is the speed I like.
A turn a day. That is cool!
Turn 1 -> firstname.lastname@example.com
Add me to the list of chaps with less than comfortable lands.
However, the Persians are a resilient race. And I , their rightfull leader, vow to lead them into greatness despite our initial set backs.
So, we don't have any idea what happen to arthur, do we? ...
I'll contact Rick to take his place.
Turn 2 to krzysiekc
billhq: Yes that will be great. This game has developed a nice pace. We wouldn't want it to get stuck again.
Turn1 > Steve
The Incas keep spreading out. And their power is already well known. A little tribe, that settled nearby the glorious capital, has done tho one and only decision: Joining the Inca Empire.
turn 2 --> Aaginor
As the inca people recognize themselves as the choosen, they recognize their land. And so they called it "Land Of The Two Rivers".
(Krzysztof, please name the mail with Conquer!!! Turn x. The number of the games increases ;-)
(Turn 2 > firstname.lastname@example.com)
Just checking in and I see that you'd like me to fill in, so I guess Steve should send me the next turn and I'll be happy to join in!
Turn 2--> King Thor
Greetings citizens of this mysterious world! I have stepped forward to help my leaderless people in their time of crisis!
Washington appears to have been built in a sultry tropical setting! From atop swaying palms our lookouts strain to see other peoples, but all beyond our city limits lies in darkness. We send out scouts to investigate what lies beyond...
Turn 2 -> firstname.lastname@example.com
Welcome Rick!
As the Persian people leave the only city that had been formed by their wise leader, they explore strange new lands. They still continue to search for a land a bountiful land where they may set up a home, however, this promised land evades them. Who knows? When this land shall appear? Maybe tomorrow, maybe a 100 years from now.. But if its out there, the we the Persians will find it!

Liechtenstein( Susan Spano/Los Angeles Times )
Liechtenstein is a little German-speaking principality tucked into the Alps between Switzerland and Austria.
The Rhine River runs wide and icy-white along the western border, and the prince's cross-timbered castle nestles in an aerie on the mountainside. At seemingly every turn, there are trail heads and bike paths. Pretty, flower-wreathed towns dot the lowlands. A winding road leads east into the mountains, through a tunnel and across meadows to the ski area of Malbun, which attracts outdoorsy families in the summer. -- Susan Spano Read more: Liechtenstein, a principality tucked into the Alps Pictured: A hamlet on the outskirts of Gutenberg Castle near the town of Balzers. |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office announced the arrest of one of their own Friday morning. Cheryl Cummings, who works out of a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office substation in zone 4, was arrested on charges of misdemeanor petit theft, according to a briefing by JSO Undersheriff Dwain Senterfitt. Cummings was under investigation after JSO received tips that she was allegedly stealing lost and found items turned in by members of the public, Senterfitt detailed. JSO, in partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted an internal, undercover investigation into the alleged thefts. Undercover officers allegedly handed in a purse valued at $60 to $100 to the substation where Cummings is employed. JSO claims Cummings was later spotted on surveillance video taking the purse to her car, where the bag allegedly sat for two to three weeks before investigators lost track of it. Investigators issued a search warrant for Cummings home, where the bag was allegedly recovered, according to Senterfitt.
Cummings will remain employed by JSO while the internal investigating continues, however Cummings will be re-assigned once she is able to post bond.

Crystal Costa co-anchors Good Morning Carolinas and joined the team in October 2012.
The wreck happened around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday on U.S. Highway 17A near Freefall Lane.
South Carolina Highway Patrol was on scene Thursday morning trying to figure out what caused the wreck.
Several vehicles from the Lighthouse of Jesus Christ Church of Georgetown were traveling south when they collided with a northbound vehicle, according to Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury.
In one of the vans, three people were killed. Edith Jackson, 55, Angie Arthur, 45, were from Georgetown. Melvira Johnson, 51, was from Loris. They died from thermal burns when the van burst into flames.
Johnson was part of the Theatre of the Republic in Conway for 15 years.
A fourth person in the van was taken to the hospital and his condition hasn't been released.
Also killed in another vehicle was Steven Morse, 36, of Jamestown. He died from body trauma, the coroner said.
The Lighthouse of Jesus Christ Church of Georgetown said they will hold a memorial service and funeral for the victims but the details of a date and time have not been set yet.
The wreck is still under investigation by the Coroner's Office and the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

Newton in Motion
© chrismaher.co.uk
You'd have to ask Rapha Condor's Chris Newton himself if he bears any relation to Sir Isaac Newton, the man who described the three laws of motion and the theory of gravity. Regardless, Chris Newton tested such theories to full effect last week at the National Track Championships in Manchester. He firstly grabbed gold in the Scratch race with some aggressive sprinting (for the seventh year in a row) and then claimed top spot on the podium again in the Points race. Having witnessed the man racing first hand in the velodrome I will say he is a class act on a track bike. The Olympic Bronze medallist will now be looking to continue this momentum at the following Track World Cup Series. Congratulations, Mr. Newton.

This bridge was built in 1950. The existing bridge deck had deteriorated. Deck repair was required to preserve the structure.
The bridge deck was repaired by removing the bad concrete sections and filling with replacement concrete. A modified concrete overlay was also used.

Columbo: Murder with Too Many Notes
Peter Falk returns to the role of Lt. Columbo -- he of the grimy trenchcoat, dumb-like-a-fox interrogations, and the inevitable "Just one more question" -- in this two-hour TV-movie special. British comic actor Billy Connolly guest stars as famed movie composer/conductor Findlay Crawford, who commits murder rather than have the public discover that his Oscar-winning movie scores were ghostwritten by a younger and more talented tunesmith. Although the hard-drinking Crawford does a magnificent job covering his tracks and deflecting suspicion, shabby little Lt. Columbo suspects that there is more to the case than meets the eye. Beyond the usual cat-and-mouse banter between the detective and his prey, the film includes such highlights as a musical duet between Falk and Connelly (who knew that Peter Falk was capable of so stirring a rendition of "That's Amore"?). Reportedly filmed in 1999, Columbo: Murder With Too Many Notes made its ABC network bow on March 12, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Frasier: Forgotten But Not Gone
Niles (David Hyde Pierce) succeeds Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) as president of their wine club when Frasier finds himself swamped with work as resident wine expert on Gil Chesterton's (Edward Hibbert) gourmet talk show. Unfortunately, in the course of one broadcast, Frasier breaks the club's bylaws by imparting "delicate" information -- whereupon Niles retaliates by ordering the other club members to boycott Gil's program. As the feud escalates, Martin (John Mahoney) is having problems of his own keeping up with his health-nut lady friend. Jane Leeves was on maternity leave during filming of this episode, and does not appear. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Used People
Todd Graff wrote the screenplay for this eccentric romantic comedy in the spirit of Moonstruck that exchanges pasta for matzo balls. The film takes place in Queens in 1969, where Pearl Berman (Shirley MacLaine) has just arrived back from the funeral of her husband. As her dysfunctional family kvetches in the living room, the dapper Joe Meledandri (Marcello Mastroianni) arrives. It seems that Joe has admired Pearl from afar for a number of years, ever since he met her husband in a bar and persuaded him to return to his wife. He invites Pearl for coffee, provoking the wisecrack from her mother (Jessica Tandy): "She got picked up at her own husband's funeral." As Pearl is wooed by Joe, she has to deal with her lonely, overweight daughter Bibby (Kathy Bates) and her prettier daughter Norma (Marcia Gay Harden), who suffers from such a lack of self esteem that she assumes the personalities of Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, and Bonnie Parker. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Add Newsies to top of Queue
A failed effort to revive the big-budget movie musical, Newsies attempted to create toe-tapping, song-and-dance excitement out of the true story of an 1899 strike by newspaper boys against publishing magnate Joseph Pulitzer. The "newsies" band together to protest a pay cut by Pulitzer (Robert Duvall), organizing a union to protect their rights and ensure fair wages. They are helped along the way by Medda (Ann-Margret), a local dance-hall performer who befriends the boys and provides an opportunity for an additional song or two. Director Kenny Ortega had previously choreographed Dirty Dancing, and composer Alan Menken had provided the acclaimed scores for Beauty and the Beast and Little Shop of Horrors, but their work here failed to capture the spark of their popular successes. Unable to connect with older or younger viewers, Newsies gained a reputation as a major bomb that cut short an attempt to bring back the live-action musical, though in the intervening years it has gained a small but appreciative cult. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Law & Order: The Torrents of Greed, Part 2
In this concluding episode of the first two-part Law & Order, the case against mob boss Frank Masucci (Charles Cioffi), aka "the Dandy Don," ignominiously collapses in a heap. Frustrated, assistant D.A. Stone (Michael Moriarty) vows to put Masucci in prison by whatever means necessary. Unfortunately, this may require the D.A.'s office to place their confidence in Masucci's brother-in-law Harv Beigel (Bruce Altman), whose "cooperation" has already resulted in disaster. Meanwhile, detectives Greevey (George Dzundza) and Logan (Chris Noth), likewise anxious to get rid of Masucci, turn up the heat on a "small fish" named Joe Pilefsky (Stephen McHattie). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Law & Order's first two-part episode begins with an assault on the owner of a candy store. Following the trail of clues, Greevey (George Dzundza) and Logan (Chris Noth) end up at the door of prominent gangster boss Frank Masucci (Charles Cioffi). The so-called "Dandy Don" has long eluded prosecution, but attorneys Stone (Michael Moriarty) and Robinette (Richard Brooks) believe that they at last have enough evidence to put Masucci away for life. Alas, the lawyers have placed all their eggs in a single "basket" -- namely, Masucci's mercurial brother-in-law Harv Beigel (Bruce Altman). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Peter Gunn
Peter Gunn was a one-shot TV movie revival of the classic detective series (1958-61) created by Blake Edwards. Edwards wrote and directed this pilot for a potential Gunn revival, with Peter Strauss stepping into Craig Stevens' gumshoes as private eye Peter Gunn. Peter Jurasik assumes Herschel Bernardi's old role as Lt. Jacobi, while Barbara Williams takes over for Lola Albright as saloon singer Edie ("Mother's", the night spot where Edie vocalizes, is operated by "special guest star" Pearl Bailey). The film is not updated to the present time, but is set in 1964. Gunn finds himself between gangsters and rogue cops when he agrees to get to the bottom of a mob hit. A lot more verbose than the old, visually dynamic TV series, Peter Gunn (1989) has the saving grace of Henry Mancini's original progressive-jazz theme song and musical score. Blake Edwards' daughter Jennifer is featured as Gunn's ditsy secretary, a character (thankfully) missing from the earlier series. This actually represented Edwards's second attempt to revive the Peter Gunn character in a movie format; he first did so with the 1967 big-screen feature Gunn. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Dream Breakers
The made-for-TV The Dream Breakers harks back to all those Pat O'Brien and Spencer Tracy "fighting priest" films of the 1930s and 1940s. Kyle MacLachlan plays an idealistic young cleric who opposes a powerful real-estate broker (Hal Linden) with mob ties. Complication One: MacLachlan's father (Robert Loggia) is the broker's ex-partner. Complication Two: MacLachlan's brother (D.W. Moffett) is on the broker's staff. As The Dream Breakers enters the home stretch, the film has boiled down to a B-picture extortion scheme. It's best just to watch the stars and ignore what they're required to say and do. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Adapted from the "Destroyer" series of novels and comic books (not exactly the level of Ian Fleming), Remo Williams (Fred Ward) is a New York cop who works for a top-secret government agency accountable directly to the President of the U.S. After his reluctant induction into this agency, Remo is trained in a near-magical Korean martial arts form by Chiun (Joel Grey) in great sequences where walking on water is taken in stride. After his training, Remo goes after a corrupt arms manufacturer with connections in the U.S. military and acquires the necessary help-mate in the form of Major Rayner Fleming (Kate Mulgrew). Antics at the Statue of Liberty and other stunts enliven the action, but cannot make up for comic-book level characters. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Costa-Gavras's tense political drama opens in an unspecified South American country (though clearly intended to be Chile) in the throes of a military coup. American activist Charles Horman (John Shea), who has been a thorn in the side of the country's military ever since his arrival, suddenly disappears. In trying to find out what has happened, his wife Beth (Sissy Spacek) is stonewalled, not only by the ruling junta but by the American consulate. His father, staunchly patriotic Ed Horman (Jack Lemmon), joins Beth in her search. Ed and his daughter-in-law have never seen eye to eye politically, and he refuses to entertain the notion that his son's disappearance might be part of a larger conspiracy or cover-up. But as the days grow into weeks, Ed comes to the shattering conclusion that he and his family have been betrayed by the American government, on behalf of the "friendly" South American dictator who holds his people in a grip of iron. Adapted by Costa-Gavras and Donald E. Stewart from a book by Thomas Hauser, Missing was inspired by the true story of the late Charles Horman. In spite of (or perhaps because of) condemnation from certain high-ranking officials in the Reagan administration, the film went on to win an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One woman's life of love and larceny is recounted in this soapy drama based on the best-selling novel by Sidney Sheldon. In the midst of WWII, innocent French girl Noelle Page (Marie-France Pisier) falls in love with dashing American pilot Larry Douglas (John Beck). When Larry is given new orders taking him back to America, he tells Noelle that he'll come back for her -- when he doesn't, she becomes bitter and pledges to use men for their money and power, not for love. Noelle goes on to become a famous actress and weds Constantin Demeris (Raf Vallone), a Greek multi-millionaire. But she can't shake her passion for Larry, and eventually she hires him to work as her personal pilot. While at first he does not recognize her, soon Larry and Noelle are once again involved in a torrid affair, and when Larry's wife Catherine (Susan Sarandon) refuses to give him a divorce, he and Noelle begin planning a scheme to arrange an "accidental" death for Catherine.

This is the episode in which Kojak leans into the villain's face and snarls "If you touch her again, I'm going to splatter your brain" (Could this line have been written by future Quantum Leap and JAG producer Donald P.

State pulls teacher's license
SALEM, Ohio (WKBN) - A Salem High School social studies teacher had his teaching license revoked in Ohio because of inappropriate conduct with a student.
Brian D'Angelo, 42, voluntarily signed a consent agreement with the Ohio Department of Education permanently preventing him from teaching or coaching in the state.
D'Angelo's license information will be in a nationwide database where other school systems can view his license status with Ohio.
D'Angelo resigned his position with the Salem school district in August following allegations that he had an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old female student.
Salem police said biological evidence linked D'Angelo to the girl's bedroom, but since the girl refused to cooperate, no criminal charges were filed.
He was hired in 2003 and coached in the Salem school district.

Petros' pitch lifts Storm to first win of season
PRINCETON — Irini Petros made her best pitch of the season for Bureau Valley and it's not even softball season yet.
The Storm softballer made a fullcourt length inbounds pass with 1.3 seconds remaining to teammate Heaven Bennett, who scored on a layup at the buzzer to lift the Storm to a 43-41 win over LaMoille/Ohio in the seventh-place contest of the Princeton Holiday Tournament Saturday night at Prouty Gym. It was the Storm's first win of the season.
"I think the win will give the girls a lot of confidence. Their excitement after the game is indescribable," BV coach Tiffany Gonigam said. "They have kept such a positive attitude throughout the last week, and finally being a part of such a competitive game was a fun experience for them. Since it was such a close contest right up to the final buzzer, the victory was even sweeter

Wait what? Are you just creating the thread 9 hours before it airs for no particular reason?
I mean I guess there's no reason why you can't do that, but I just dumbly read this thread not knowing what was up, and I wish I hadn't because I prefer to go in to episodes knowing nothing.
This is the first episode to air in the production order after "Neutopia" so I wonder if Scruffy is a woman in this one (I highly doubt it, but...)
Also I'm not really looking forward to this one, I've seen the clip with Futurama's "take" on Nickelodeon (And yes it's just as bad as The Simpsons "puns" "Tickleodeon" )
Tickleodeon is slightly better than Mixar because at least It actually is a pun insted of putting a m where a p should be.
Still don't approve of it though
so will you only be happy if they create a completely new name for the network, or what?
anyway, this episode wasn't brilliant, but it was amusing. i knew that leela hadn't really written it from the beginning, but the planet was an amusing twist. 4/5
Living In a Rock and Roll Fantasy--my music review blog
Most recent review--The Who's My Generation (12/15)
I did not like this one much. The pacing felt weird, and Leela's entire motivation felt weak to me, at least in execution if not in theory. I knew Leela's quiet place was gonna payoff when they referenced it a second time, but just assumed it would end up with someone else writing the story. I never expected the beings to actually be real so that was a pretty nice surprise. Unfortunately they did nothing with it in the obscenely rushed third act. The ending left me rather bewildered. Just really poor storytelling overall. Also, did anyone else get a King of the Hill vibe at first what with the manger babies?
Aside from that the episode only managed to make me laugh once or twice. The best laugh was Leela getting maced twice. Maybe I'll enjoy it on a rewatch but this was easily my least favorite episode this year. 2.5/5, rounded down to a 2 on the poll.
I enjoyed this episode a lot. I will admit right up front that I'm biased by the subject matter, as since my nephew was born, I have had to watch these kinds of programs much more lately (he's turning 4). So seeing these lampoons were really funny to me.
(Although I've never seen Yo Gabba Gabba or whatever it's called, so maybe I'm not that biased after all.)
First, we'll brush away some of the complaints.
Like the mafia last week, I thought the orphans felt a little played-out by now. They pretty much exist as a variation of the same joke in every appearance they have, so the whole "sucky orphans" shtick was really doing that much for me... Particularly when that head guy would say stuff. There were a couple strange turns in the plot as well, the most jarring being when Leela suddenly turned into an egomaniac. I was happy to see that they didn't pursue this character turn more, as it's a very Simpsony kind of plot twist. Still kind of a strange moment in the middle of the thing.
Also thought they hammered in the whole "no punishment for Leela" thing juuuuuust a little too hard. Could've used without them holding hands singing her praise.
(EDIT: And yeah, I agree with the criticism that Leela's motivation at the beginning was pretty thin. I was able to get past it a bit since Leela has such a competitive and perfectionistic streak, like seen in the Blurnsball episode. That and she loves the Orphanarium kids. But still, a little on the thin side.)
The main thing I liked about the episode was the pacing of the jokes. The dialogue was very snappy and rapid-fire at moments, almost getting a little Vaudeville (Vaudevillian?). It was a small little line, but I almost did a spit-take at the fat orphan Albert's line, "That wasn't really a story." Caught me completely by surprise for some reason. Very Seinfeld (Seinfeldian?) in that turnaround. I also really liked the observation Amy had about making it so the hipster parents watching will also enjoy it.
The kids show parody was almost pitch perfect in capturing the style of these inane shows. The satire isn't completely 100% fresh, though, as this stuff has been done on countless other shows by now. Still, they hit all of the main components, like the forced childish morals and the silly pandering. They even did a great job of underlining the phony commercialism of it all. Ironically, I think that if you showed a 3 or 4 year old those mini-clips of the shows, they actually WOULD enjoy it. So that's saying something about the writing of those segments.
I might edit in more later, but I gotta stop here. 4.5/5.
Wow, point for point, you covered everything I was about to write in my review. The second mention of the quiet place, the Manger Babies, everything. Somehow I enjoyed Luanne's puppet show more than Leela's though, not sure why. Somehow Leela's made me cringe (even in the form of a satire, I find it hard to watch toddler shows), but Luanne's had a certain sweetness to it. My only difference from your review was I didn't find the mace thing very funny. I liked the chaotic scene towards the beginning, and the orphans' initial resistance to Leela's stories though. Also, how many episodes about fame going to people's heads will I see on different shows before I die? Every show has one, some way or another.
The original manger babies episode of King of the Hill is really good, much better than this. Leela's story/performance to the orphans wasn't as bad to me as it was for you though.
Also, agree with Jims in that the orphans definitely seem played out, as was Abner Doubleday(was that his name?)
This episode had the same vibe as "A Leela of Their Own" for me. Just kind of a "meh" episode through and through in the middle of a good string of episodes. I'll forget all about this one by tomorrow night, and be ready for the next one. It's okay, this season has been great until now, it couldn't last forever.
Meet the Manger Babies is an excellent episode.
Tonight's Futurama felt a lot like Jean-era Simpsons, actually. From "Tickelodeon"'s Tress MacNeille-filled kid show parodies to standard awards show silliness (which really felt like a sequence taken right out of this season's "Angry Dad: The Movie"), the episode went for the cheap laughs pretty often. The humor was overall sort of middling, and while nothing was terrible, it was a bit drier than usual.
I did like Leela's characterization from start to finish, minus the rather dumb (and overplayed) bit about fame going to her head. From the beginning, I thought her motivation made enough sense to carry the story, and the orphans are always a cute and welcome addition to any episode. I like how they're putting in more third act twists that work with the story, but this was one of the ones I could definitely see coming, real-life creatures and all. She said she was going to a distant planet, after all!
The modern references are once again among the weaker jokes and lines in the series, and overall, the episode dragged, particularly in some of the story sequences. At least it had a satisfactory enough plot, and wasn't without its cute moments.
This episode had some of the same sort of problems that "Law and Oracle" did: iffy, sometimes hyper-fast pacing, with not much development of any plot point in particular, and an over-reliance on cliches (granted, with Oracle that was sort of the point). Although I realize it would sort of kill the ending twist, I think for the story to work a lot better, it would have needed to be revealed that Leela's characters were actually real closer to the beginning, like the first act, so that the rest of the episode could deal substantively with her guilt and trying to hide her secret. This was touched on, but rushed through - Bender's extortion of her gets, what, two scenes? And then Leela admits it all by the next - and a lot of other plot points could have also been whole episodes but sort of got shafted in the mishmash of things. (Despite Oracle and this episode sharing these problems, however, I'm not concerned; the other episodes so far have had much better pacing and structure.)
That said though....it was funny. Really funny. The kids' show satire was spot-on, the whole twist with the planet of children's characters WAS quite clever and surprising, Leela's attempts to be "punished" were pretty hilarious, and all in all I was laughing quite a bit. For that reason, I do think it deserves more credit than an episode like "A Leela All Her Own," which wasn't horrible or anything, but definitely a lot more lacking in humor. This felt more like a season two episode: a bit lacking in story and general structure, but funny enough that I don't really care too much at the end of the day.
(P.S. I think the preview clip and the version I saw on TV had one difference; the reference to Randy "Macho Man" Savage, most certainly written in 2010 before his recent death, was I believe changed to a reference to Rowdy Roddy Piper.)
Two eyes, two ears, a chin, a mouth, ten fingers, two nipples, a butt, two kneecaps, a penis. I've just described to you the Loch Ness Monster. And the reward for its capture? All the riches in Scotland. So I have one question: why are you here?
I thought it was pretty funny. Is the Warden's voice different, though? That kind of threw me.
POPULAR SLUT CLUB is going to be stuck in my head
Yyyyyyeah, didn't like this one much at all. There were a few things that made me laugh or smile, and the pacing was pretty good (something other, funnier, episodes this season have struggled with). But I just didn't connect at all with the kids show stuff, and I wouldn't expect many other Futurama to either. I was surprised by the twist, though, at the very least. Mostly I thought it was just dull, so a comparison to A Leela of Her Own is very accurate. The ending, with Leela not being punished but praised, was kind of clever.
Easily weakest of the season so far.
Leela and Fry romance watch: Leela kisses Fry on the forehead before accepting her YPCA, while shaking everyone else's hands
that felt dirty
Ehh, didn't like this one that much either. I agree with TriforceBun that it felt like a Jean era Simpsons episode - lots of lame puns and easy parodies. Oh, and parodies/spoofs of kids' shows have to be among the easiest to write and come up with, and its been done to death, so I didn't really enjoy any of that.
Somehow, I picked up that the creatures would be real right away. Probably because this is Futurama, and there's a new planet for everything.
The pacing was too rushed for me to really care that she didn't actually write the stories.
Finally, an episode geared towards my intellectual sensitivities!
If Leela is unable to come up with a story about a space princess or about an annoying elephant who is friend with a tapdancing lobster, then why wouldn't she ask Fry for a story? The rest of the episode was better, so it's 3/5 for me.
And I really missed Rumpletweezer
Bender: That was the best Christmas ever
Yeah I wasn't quite as big on this one...
It was funny, sure enough, and the pacing felt like it had calmed down from the previous few episodes, but the plot was still rather shallow and predictable. As soon as Leela's "quiet place" was mentioned a second time I knew that the characters she'd created were real guys and she was just recording everything they actually did. The idea of an entire planet of this silliness is pretty funny but there wasn't much payoff from it.
Agreed on the orphans beginning to feel overused, and especially agree on the whole "Character A's ego gets way too much in the way and he/she gains a ridiculous superiority complex; is then exposed" trope and how that played out. Leela seemed to switch to that almost immediately and it didn't really make any sense. There was no character arc for her in this episode - she went from "I can't write stories" to "I AM THE BEST STORYTELLER EVER" in the blink of an eye, and it really was rather jarring. i get how it can make sense for her, as explained in this thread - and how she is such a competitive person - but her ego developed instantaneously rather than over time, and it just didn't work.
Disappointed to see the Bender-exploiting-Leela angle never went anywhere. That could've been introduced way earlier on in the story and we could have gotten more jokes about it. Instead it was crammed in briefly and not treated like the plot point it probably should have been. Could've lead to more jokes.
Agree on how this feels like one of the weaker Futurama episodes, but even while being a weak one, it's still a solidly funny episode and easily rewatchable. Just not as good as the past few.
hmm, this was kind of terrible
What happened to Bender extorting Leela? We were treated to a whole two seconds of its consequences.
As soon as I saw the planet's colours, I saw the twist coming but at least the characters were amusing. The episode seemed to have run out of steam by the end too; it felt like they had a very basic concept and didn't know where to go with it.
The "quiet place" planet had a real "Super Mario World" feeling to me.
well, it made me laugh enough. a bunch of weird creature singing about not eating meat off the floor and poking dead animals with a stick. I give it a 4/5 just because most of the jokes worked well, imo.
leela was really unlikable in this episode.
otherwise, it was ok.

One of the weaker episodes of this season but I am willing to forgive this because It is not terrible and It got some laughs out of me3.5/5
Yo Leela Leela
I don't mind this episode. I mean it's quite funny (Not gut-busting hilarious but humorous none-the-less) But I found myself laughing at a few parts. The funniest characters weren't the main ones in this episode and I found myself laughing more at the side characters like Warden Vogel (Although he seemed to have adopted an Irish accent in this episode for some reason) and Abner Doubledeal was also quite funny. Some scenes that I enjoyed came mostly in the first act (Popular Slut Club, Leela's original story and everyone making noise at Planet Express) So the first act was most defiantly the best part of the episode...
Although the story kind of dipped in the second act it still contained some laughs while the third act was pretty bland and uneventful (Besides the "big reveal") I do think the ending could have been much better, but it wasn't horrendously bad just not that funny (But I do like that the orphans were adopted and do wonder if they will return as orphans later in the series)
To conclude, I could compare this episodes humor to that of "That Darn Katz!" (More cute than funny and relies on the plot for humor rather than laugh out loud humor) And the plot is similar to "A Leela of Her Own" though I think this one is a little more enjoyable than that one...
Score: 7.0/10
A couple of weeks ago Adam R said something about the series becoming like an Adult Swim show and I could really see what he meant in this episode. It's a very weird idea and in general a strange concept for a Futurama episode, not that this is a bad thing, but it really didn't feel like subject matter that a Futurama fan would care about. I kind of know what Tomacco means about feeling kind of awkward even during a parody of a children's programme. It felt like the episode took a long while to go anyway, it was a nice payoff when it was revealed where she was getting her ideas from, but yeah the episode felt a little stretched out, like it'd be more suited to a segment in a trilogy episode or being a 15 minute episode.
One of this seasons better episodes. (B+)

Cinnamon-Apple Pork Chops Recipe
I found this recipe online years ago and it quickly became a favorite. The ingredients are easy to keep on hand and it's great in hot weather because it goes together quickly, without turning on the oven. One-pan cleanup is a bonus. —Christina Price, Wheeling, West Virginia
- 4 boneless pork loin chops (4 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter, divided
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 medium tart apples, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Diamond of California Chopped Pecans
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook pork chops in 1 tablespoon butter for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- Remove chops and keep warm. Add the apples, pecans, brown sugar mixture and remaining butter to the pan; cook and stir until apples are tender. Serve with chops. Yield: 4 servings.
Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Land O'Lakes light stick butter.

Quick & easy pork chop meal! Apples and pork goes well together and the family always enjoys these dishes. Pecans are the finishing touch.

These pork chops were quick and easy! Even easier when I used my canned apples from last fall. YUM!
The only downside was the sauce was super sweet so next time I would try to use something different or add something to adjust to my taste. My father in law and husband loved it, and said it tasted similar to mincemeat.

Made this the other night and the entire family gave it five stars. That almost never happens! And it was so quick and easy to make -- will definitely be making this again.
