When thinking of Father’s Day coming up, I couldn’t help thinking of the Father Of The Pride cartoon that lasted a few episodes before it was canned. It was a hilarious cartoon aimed at adults that aired on ABC, and I believe this is what did it in. ABC has a bad record for adult-oriented cartoons. Just think of Clerks. No, Father Of The Pride belonged on Comedy Central or Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. On ABC, people expected something more kid-friendly. What they got was a pilot episode where Sigfried & Roy can’t get the two pandas to mate, and the female lion is in heat.

The show is about Siegfred & Roy’s animals, and the main characters are the white lions. Larry the Lion is voiced by John Goodman, so it HAS to be good!

I was so excited when I heard of its arrival to DVD just months after the show was canceled.

Just to let everybody know, Disney’s UP is now available on DVD & Blu-Ray(in North America)! I really liked this movie and I plan on showing it to my mom immediately. Hopefully I can find a movie rental place that has the 2-disc version(not Redbox, as much as I like them). I wish I had a Blu-Ray player, though, because the Blu-Ray version has a LOT more special features. As of this writing, it only costs US$20 on Amazon.com! SAME AS THE 2-DISC DVD! Yes, let me run out and drop over $100 on either a Blu-Ray player or a drive for my computer(tempting). Hopefully the Blu-Ray extras can be found on YouTube soon.
