The ITVFest is coming up August 1-7 and again Chris Miller and Phil Lord will be attending. So for anyone living in California (8000 Sunset Blvd, LA, CA) and fans of Clone High you have no excuse but to attend, ask questions and report back. I think you all know the appropriate question to ask. Joan or Cleo or this mysterious Jah-Cle I keep hearing Abe stammer on and on about?

And speaking of Chris Miller and Phil Lord, Sony has made an announcement about their upcoming “Cloudy, With a Chance of Meatballs” movie. Two major points were stated. That it should be arriving in front of your eyes January 15, 2010, and that you should bring both of said eyes to the theater, because it will be seen in 3-D. You can read the full article over at the wonderful Animation Magazine’s website.

Bill Oakley and one of the shows’ writers of Sit Down Shut Up (“aka Class Dismissed”) did not agree to the “compromise contract” between the creators/writers of the show and Sony Pictures TV. Josh Weinstein and the rest of the writers have remained on the show. You can read up more about the temporary break-up here and here.
I am very interested in how this will affect the series. Mission Hill was the show it was because of their collaborative effort. But since it’s going to show on Fox, we all know how it will go. Maybe a couple episodes will be shown in random order and regardless, a fan-base will grow around it but then it will be canceled.

Zach Braff has only one more season of Scrubs in him, at least as a starring role. When reached for comment, Bill Lawrence, producer of Clone High, said “The end of the show will be about J.D. leaving the hospital.” As you may already have known the show was not picked back up by NBC, but thankfully CBS did pick up the show and will air mid-season 2008-09. Read more about it here.

If you are a fan of the cartoon show MTV Downtown, which I have never mentioned on this blog before, well then you’re in luck, because for $25 dollars, you can get an “official ‘promotional’ dvd of all episodes with some commentaries” from the creator, Chris Prynoski, on his new blog. I have ordered received mine and I haven’t even seen one episode yet other than a quick clip on YouTube. If you’re a fan, get it, if you’re like me and haven’t seen it, check out some clips, or wait for a review or two.
