    Ty Burrell played Mr. Peabody in the Dreamworks film based on the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon shorts, where a super intelligent dog had mastered time travel. A year prior, Burrell was regularly being outsmarted by an orange in ads for Tropicana juice drinks.

    I’m just sayin’, if you were going to hire someone to be a pompous canine smarty-pants, well… David Hyde Pierce is RIGHT THERE.




  • This seems to happen with progressive rock at alarming levels. They just reach a point where they take their pretentious bullshit a little too far, and the fans grow weary of it. You saw that with Jethro Tull, which pushed its luck with A Passion Play after scoring a critical success with Thick as a Brick. Yes took it too far with Topographic Oceans. I’m sure ELP has an album where they pushed the envelope a little too far and pushed away the audience in the process. Unfortunately, that had a pendulum effect, with ELP releasing the wimpy Love Beach in an attempt to reel back in those lapsed fans.
