MTV reports that if you log in to the official Dr. Pepper website on November 23rd, you’ll be mailed a coupon for a free 20-ounce Dr. Pepper. But note, ONLY on the 23rd.
Why are they doing it? As MTV reports:
“Now that the November 23 release date for Guns N’ Roses’ oft-delayed, more-than-a-decade-in-the-making album, Chinese Democracy, seems to be a reality, Dr Pepper owes every American a can of soda.
Back in March, the beverage company said that it would give every man, woman, and a child in the U.S. a free can of Dr. Pepper should Guns N’ Roses release Chinese Democracy before the close of 2008. And now, the event no one — certainly not the folks at Dr Pepper — thought would happen is rapidly approaching.”

Our friends over at TVShowsonDVD.com have scored some great pictures of the upcoming complete series release of ‘The Flintstones’ on DVD.
For those who may not know, The Flintstones was originally a prime time animated show like ‘The Simpsons’ today… and was just as ‘adult’. It’s amazing what we now consider kid-friendly…
Okay… I could see the ‘Land of the Lost’ movie having some promise, but there is NOTHING in the world that will make me go see this movie. Sometimes they just can’t get far enough away from a bad idea.

Universal back for more Krofft
Live-action ‘Sea Monsters’ to follow ‘Land’
By MICHAEL FLEMING
Universal has cut a deal to mount a live-action film based on Sid and Marty Krofft’s ’70s kidshow “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.”
The Kroffts will produce with Jimmy Miller and his Mosaic banner. Julie Darmody is executive producer.
Deal comes after U and Mosaic completed production on the $100 million Will Ferrell starrer “Land of the Lost,” another property that originated as a Saturday morning Krofft kidshow creation. “Land of the Lost” is set for release in June.
Script for “Sigmund” will be penned by Dana Gould, a writer-producer on “The Simpsons.”
“Sigmund” becomes the third studio property set up for movie treatment for the Krofft brothers. Sony is also developing a live-action version of “H.R. Pufnstuff” and is in talks with director Conrad Vernon, who helmed “Shrek 2″ and “Monsters vs. Aliens.”
“Sigmund” originally ran on NBC from 1973-75, and the show was a staple in reruns on local TV stations for the rest of the decade. After the sea monster is booted from his home by his nasty brothers for being too nice, Sigmund is befriended by two friends who stash him in their clubhouse.
The Krofft brothers were craftsmen-for-hire before they gained notice in the TV biz with the distinctive sets and costumes they designed for Hanna-Barbera’s live-action “The Banana Splits Adventure Hour.”
“After that, Sid and I insisted we own everything we did,” said Marty Krofft. “It didn’t hurt that I was Ron Meyer’s first client at CAA,” he added of the Kroffts’ new-found traction at U.
The Kroffts said they hope to follow with the remaining properties originated on “The Krofft Supershow,” which include “Electra Woman and Dyna Girl,” “Lidsville,” “The Bugaloos,” “Dr. Shrinker,” “Bigfoot and Wildboy” and “Wonderbug.”
A good friend of the fools has given us some videos.
All I can say, is that when you’re a broadcaster, you have to remember that that camera is rolling at all times, and what you say may come back to haunt you in ways you’d never imagine.
