Month: December 2006

It says something about me as a person, I’m sure, or about the significance that popular culture and television had in my life growing up, but I’m actually finding it a little weird to now discover that Peter Cullen, the actor who voiced Optimus Prime in the Transformers cartoon show also voiced Knight Rider‘s K.A.R.R..

Speaking of the Transformers, by the way, one could do a lot worse that to check out Jim Cleaveland‘s informative retrospective of the cartoon and comics series in this premiere issue of Kaleidotrope. I’m just saying.

I’ve seen an episode or two of Monk, but I don’t really watch the show, so it’s only by accident that I found out about this: on December 22, they’ll be showing an episode in black and white…followed immediately by the same episode in color. Viewers can then vote on which they like best.

I think it’s official. Television has finally run out of stupid and pointless gimmicks.

Some random links — can you tell I’m trying to burn through these?
