The Comicbookguy's favorite time of the year is once again upon us.
Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world are giving away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their stores.
If you're new to comics (or if all you remember of them is from your childhood), pop by your local comic book store and check it out. Who knows...you might even see the Comicbookguy while you're there.
NEW YORK—SCI FI Channel announced the development of Caprica, a spinoff prequel of its hit Battlestar Galactica, in presentations to advertisers in New York on April 26. Caprica would come from Galactica executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, writer Remi Aubuchon (24) and NBC Universal Television Studio.
Caprica would take place more than half a century before the events that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better.
But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot: a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the Battlestar Galactica), Caprica will weave together corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga, the channel announced.
This week the jurors for television's prestigious Peabody Awards honored SOUTH PARK with a Peabody.
The award is given out by the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications to honor the best in TV.
The awards director said, "The judges felt that it was a bold program that probably offends just about everybody at some point and in doing so reminds us that we need to be tolerant. It's also consistent in its insistence on noncensorship."
The Sci Fi Channel's BATTLESTAR GALATICA was also announced as a winner of a Peabody.
The Simpsons rule, and this movie should be a lot of fun for everyone. It's funny how popular this show is today, especially when you consider how parents groups were so upset by this show. They were adamant that kids should not be allowed to watch, and that Bart's "under achiever and proud of it" motto would cause irreparable damage to children.
Funny how things change...then again perhaps they were right all along.
The sequel of all sequels is set to be released this summer. Get ready for BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN 2...Love is a force of Nature. Something tells me this one might be a little more popular with the male audience.

SCI FI Channel recently announced that Lucy Lawless will join the cast of its original series Battlestar Galactica in the upcoming third season. Lawless will become a recurring cast member, reprising her role as D'Anna Biers in a 10-episode arc. The third season begins production in Vancouver, Canada, in April.
Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) first appeared on Galactica in the second-season episode "Final Cut," playing investigative journalist Biers, who arrived on the Galactica to do an expose on alleged crew misconduct that resulted in the death of four civilians. Eventually, the audience learns that Biers is actually one of the human-looking Cylon agents, who was sent to Galactica on a covert reconnaissance mission.
Lawless' second guest appearance will be in the highly anticipated episode entitled "Downloaded," which gives viewers their first real glimpse into the Cylon world.
