I love Adult Swim’s ability to fund just about any crazy show that asks for a budget. At least this show from the creators of Wonder Showzen features everyone’s favorite geek man-boy, Patton Oswalt.
This show is by far the strangest thing that I’ve seen get greenlit from Adult Swim (that’s saying a ton because I actually enjoyed Saul of the Mole Men). It is basically the story of a rich man who dies and leaves ownership of a town to one of his three children. In this case it’s Patton Oswalt’s character who essentially spends his entire life in a cave.
The show also stars Kristen Schaal from HBO’s Flight of the Conchords and many other shows like Bob’s Burgers where she lends her significant voice acting talents to. The miniseries begins on November 6th at 12:30 AM and will run for six nights…with months of reruns to follow if Adult Swim has taught us anything.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
