Pete All Over

Is Mickey the most used character by Disney? Is it Donald? Nope, it's good all Pete. Known as Black Pete, Pegleg Pete, Sharkey on DuckTales, and Pete on Goof Troop. He first appeared in Alice Comedies in 1925, then was Oswald's villian from 1927 to 1933, was Mickey's opponent in Steamboat Willie, his likeness was used as Sharkey in DuckTales and got top billing in Goof Troop with his own family Peg, PJ and Pistol. Interestingly enough, in the Goofy Movie and Extremely Goofy Movie, his wife and daughter never were seen or mentioned. So yeah, he has been mostly a villian or just plain convining.

Originally like a cat or something, now he's like some kind of gerbil-like creature. I think he was a devil dog.

Check out the article on him.

Peter Krause shelling out for his mini-series

I like Peter Krause, he's great. Don't get me wrong, I want to excell. He is doing a 'mini-series event' for Sci-fi channel called The Lost Door with Dakota Fanning's little sister. This is no Taken. During Bravo's run of Six Feet Under there are promos of Peter Krause wanting us to watch the movie. He is so freaking hot on Six Feet Under. He deadpanned Cybill which was brilliant, probably becuase he had a shit role. And Claire is similar to Cybill's daugther, red hair and dark but soft inside. So this may be my way of getting even. I hope no hard feelings.

Frisky Dingo

Watch Frisky Dingo on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim Sunday nights at 12:30am, made by the folks who made Sea Lab 2021 and the drawings are actually better. Animation is about the same and some voices have returned. It is extremely funny. The show's original name was to be called "Whiskey Tango". There was already a band using the name, so to prevent legal action, the show's name was changed to "Whiskey Tango Six". However, this name was not legally distinct, so the creators jokingly said they would call the show "Frisky Dingo", and the name stuck. About a stuck up Batman-ish Xander Crews (best name ever) who plans on selling his Awesome X image and wants Killface to be his official villian to make toys but Killface wants revenge on Xander Crews and his crew wants revenge on Awesome-X. I like Killface's black british cyborgian assistant Syd.

4-Year Old Risk Taker saves the day

4-year old hero Stevie Long saved his family from robbers, his mom who manages an apartment building was held at gunpoint and her boyfriend was apprehended. He was asked to get cigarettes, came back in his Power Rangers Mystic Force muscle suit and started 'kiajing' with his plastic sword and the robbers went away. This poor kid is disillusioned in thinking that he scared them away but at least he didn't get hurt. I wonder if Disney will reward him in way sugercoated way.

Stamos' Statement in Wedding Wars

John Stamos (Thieves, Jake in Progress, ER) and Eric Dane (One word: McSteamy) play brothers in A&E's Wedding Wars premiering December 11th. One is getting married, the other is fighting for the right to get married. Stamos says in Entertainment Weekly, "...I do feel I have something to say, and I do feel like that's a responsiblity at least, so that was my way of saying I support that issue." Thumbs up to you John! It doesn't hurt that Eric Dane is your brother or that Sean Maher (Firefly/Serenity) is your boytoy.

Directed by Jim Fall (Trick, "So noTORIous") and written by Stephen Mazur (Liar Liar) and produced by Craig Zadan (Chicago) and Neil Meron ("Empire", The Reagans) and co-starring James Brolin and Bonnie Somerville.
