Now, I Know This Isn't Anime News, But...

I have been getting a few emails here & there asking about the possibility of the "ressurection" of "cancelled" Adult Swim shows such as Family Guy, which has--by the way--gained a cult-following through the years of its existence.
After only three seasons, the FOX show was cancelled and handed over to CN, blah blah blah... Anyway, here's a piece 'o news chronicling the return of FG:
"A very high-profile source has revealed that FOX is currently prepared to bring back Family Guy, despite original rumors. Original reports had Family Guy returning to Cartoon Network, but it now seems that the show is going to air on FOX, starting in the summer of 2005. No word is available on what the negotiation situation was with Cartoon Network, and whether or not the network will also air the fourth season of the show." (Source: TVFrenzy.com)

Majesco Games has announced that they have secured the rights to produce or plublish Dragonball GT gameboy advance video game products. Strengthening a 2004 lineup already bolstered by premium content, Majesco, a leading publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment products, today announced an agreement with FUNimation Productions, Ltd. to publish Game Boy Advance Video Game products based upon FUNimation’s tremendously popular Dragon Ball GT franchise.
“We are thrilled to partner with FUNimation to bring the extremely successful Dragon Ball GT property to our Game Boy Advance lineup,” said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. “Having achieved retail sell-in of more than two million units for our initial offerings, we’re confident that such a highly recognizable property as Dragon Ball GT will continue that momentum into the back half of the year, and beyond.”
One of the most popular properties to date, the Dragon Ball franchise has created a new standard for animated action series having achieved sales of more than $3 billion in related merchandising worldwide and over 20 million home videos. Web sites for the Dragon Ball franchise receive more than eight million hits per day, and the term “Dragonball” was a Top 10 search term on the Lycos 50 Daily Report for a total of 200 consecutive weeks.
