smacky and bucky

I'm excited about a new show premiering February 20th called Robot Chicken. It's created by Seth Green, no stranger to geek rolls, including voicing characters on Family Guy. What's unique about Robot Chicken? It's done in stop-motion animation using action figures. How freaking cool is that? And, ..."a number of celebrities will provide voices, including Scarlett Johannson, Burt Reynolds, Ryan Seacrest, Mark Hamill and Macauley Culkin." That's right. Burt F'ing Reynolds. Step off, fool!
The episode guide can be found HERE. Show #2 sounds like the best one:

“The Deep End”
Find out what happens when seven superheroes are forced to live under one roof in “The Real World: Metropolis.” Then catch Adm. James T. Kirk, Khan Noonian Singh and Kirk Cameron at work in a pizza joint in “Two Kirks, a Khan and a Pizza Place.” Someone is on a mission to track down the Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny in “Kill Bunny.” Lastly, go backstage for America’s favorite undead reality show, “Zombie Idol.”

In other geek news, Wil Wheaton, author of a very good book called Just a Geek, is hitting the big time. He's going to play a homeless man/murder suspect on CSI. Way to go Wil! He's remarkably well adjusted for a "former child star," and I'm glad to see him finding success as both an author and an adult actor.

Valentine's Day...gotta make plans...
