Reno 911! Kicks Off Fifth Season

Reno 911! is back. The show kicks off its fifth season with more questions than answers, intentionally.

RENO 911! (501)
Did Garcia steal Dangle’s husband? What’s happening to Wiegel’s Baby? Find out the answers to these and other exciting questions on the season premiere of Reno 911!

Well, that’s all I wrote for now because I spent the the whole day at Paramount Studio. Yelling at those WGA strikers……. well, in a good way. Cloverfield premiered earlier tonight, and I was expecting a lot more WGA strikers there.

Anyway, I’ll update this post with more relevant Reno 911! stuff. Why? Because I promised Sheriff Deputy James Garcia (Carlos Alazraqui) to do it.

Carlos Alazraqui from Reno 911! and Taco Bell Chihuahua fame is scheduled to perform at the Ice House in Pasadena, California. Carlos will be performing on the following date and time:

Family Guy: Blue Harvest – Fox Digital Copy

As previously reported, “Family Guy: Blue Harvest” DVD-set includes a second disc that contains a “digital copy” of the feature. The “digital copy” is compatible with iTunes and Windows Media Player. The digital copy then can be played in video-playing-iPods, iPhone, and any compatible PlayForSure device.

Blue Harvest - 2 DVD Discs and the Code

Each DVD package comes with a serial number that can be used once in iTunes or Windows Media Player to decrypt the “digital copy” and apply corresponding DRM on it. For example, if you’re using Windows Media Player to access the “digital copy”, it will extract and decrypt it from the disc and apply PlayForSure DRM on it. The serial number that comes with the DVD package can only be used once for one format only; iTunes or PlayForSure compatible format.

Fox/iTunes Store Blunder on JoinStewiesDarkSide.com

Fox’s “Family Guy: Blue Harvest” DVD pack includes a digital copy of the movie that can be transferred using iTunes or Windows Media Player.

For some reasons, iTunes Store is listing the wrong URL for the DVD Promotional site.

It’s supposed to be http://www.joinstewiesdarkside.com/, instead it’s missing an “s” and you’ll end up in a domain squatter’s heaven.

The correct sweepstakes address is http://www.joinstewiesdarkside.com/
