HTG TV Based Comic Scrapped, Producer Settles for Monterrey Jack on His Nachos

In preparation for its third season on HTG Television, Skully award winning It's Always Me is considering a number of promotional options. For months an advertising scheme was in development that was centered on a set of short comics.

"It was going to be just a dozen panels or so per comic" explained the show's producer, Marlowe of Miracle Pictures. "It would explore the life of an everyman thrust into strange situations with his android wife. I was looking forward to it. But after several tries, I couldn't quite get the presentation the way that I had originally planned. So, unfortunately, I had to cancel the IAM comic."

So when will approved advertising plans be revealed for the series?

"We've still got plenty of time" Marlowe continued. "The next session won't get under way until September. We don't want to burn out too early, right?"

It's Always Me appears on Devil Ray Television. Returning for the new season are stars Jason Segel, Rashida Jones and Skully winner Neil Patrick Harris.

Hot off the heels of his action comedy My Name is Bob, newcomer Tuckerjoe is preparing for his next film, Nowhere Land. According to the Living Color producer, the movie is an adventure concerning a grocery store customer (Seann William Scott) and two employees of the store (Margaret Cho and Mickie James) who are forced into an underground cavern. They discover a civilization descended from 19th Century miners and must deal with the cultural clash.

"It's got a little of everything" claimed Tuckerjoe when questioned on the film. "I'm really looking forward to people seeing it."

Nowhere Land, a Lake Hope Features release, opens on August 14.

Poll Pulled in Early Hours Assault on MB

In a late-night move that still has HTG residents baffled, this news source has deleted one of only two articles that it had published in the prior week. Concerning a recent poll posted by 10K Cases producer Bryan Bishop on the HTG message board, the article was cut when it was discovered that Bishop's poll was eliminated from the mb.

"It made little sense to have an article up about a poll that ceased to exist" stated a Happening staff member. "Instead, EIC Marlowe placed a new poll on the mb about tomatoes. Everyone loves tomatoes, right?"

Although Bishop is keeping tight-lipped about the deletion of his poll, some HTG citizens have theories.

"I think that it just wasn't going the way that he had predicted" guessed one man.

"Mah shoe!" exclaimed another.

10K Case's latest film, Scream Bloody Murder, is currently in theatres.

Here's some straight skinny on the new HTG TV series for next session, brought to us by Ritchie Steven himself:

The new series is being penned by Lucian. It adapts the original comic series. The Tick was originally created by Ben Edlund.

The Tick's superpowers are nigh-invulnerability, which allows him to crash and bang about without injury (though not necessarily without pain); super strength (he can bend a steel girder with ease); and something referred to as "drama power," or basically a tendency for the Tick's powers to increase as the situation becomes more dramatic. He can also survive out in space without a suit and underwater without oxygen for a long time.

Main Two Cast Members (Regulars)
The Tick – Patrick Warburton
Arthur – John Hodgman

Supporting Cast (Regulars)
Rich Little – Various
Kari Wahlgren – Oedipus/various
Ben Edlund – Series director
Dean Cain – Clark Oppenheimer
Dan Aykroyd – District Manager

Episode List Titles

Episode 1 – The City
Episode 2 – The Caped Wonder
Episode 3 – Mr. Nedd
Episode 4 – High Rise Hijinx
Episode 5 – Night of a Million-Zillion Ninja
Episode 6 – We’re a Hedge (Season Finale)

The show is a half hour show that will likely be teamed up in an hour (super) block with either Chocolate Dog's Super or PJ Flip's Hero (or Something Like It).
