(I don’t have AppleTV, so can’t really tell you anything else.)

Still no new MacBook Pro. My imaginary source has gone quiet except with one little note. “It’s coming soon, be patient!”
I want it now!

South Park: The Imaginationland Trilogy is Coming To DVD March 11th, 2008
South Park‘s fans can not wait for the twelfth season to start, but no date has been set yet. In addition to that, no words on the release date for South Park: The Complete Eleventh Season DVD.
Would the DVD set make any different since all of Season Eleven Episodes are available for purchase on iTunes Store and Amazon Unbox. Of course! The DVD is higher quality than the digital download version, and it is not crippled with DRM.
Good news for those who can’t wait for the Complete Season 11 DVD, because South Park: The Imaginationland Trilogy is coming to DVD on March 11th, 2008. Dubbed as “Uncensored Director’s Cut” and “New Feature Length DVD Movie”, fans can only hope that this dvd is worth every penny. No further details have been provided yet. In any case, this “New Feature Length DVD Movie” should make the wait a little bit easier.
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:
- January 24, 2008 – 08:00PM
- January 25, 2008 – 08:30PM
- January 25, 2008 – 10:30PM
January 26, 2008 – 08:00PMJanuary 26, 2008 – 10:00PM

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.
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/
