Chapelle, IGPX, and other boob tube news

Rick James is smiling down on us this morning. Just got a press release from Comedy Central --Chapelle's Show starts its 3rd season on May 31 at 10/9c. AND Reno 911! starts its 3rd season on June 13 at 10:30/9:30c. Write it down. (Or, if you're like me, set the TiVo and forget about it.) The press releases were vague, so I don't know what the episodes will be about. As soon as I know, I'll pass it along.

Other recent TV-type news:
  • New South Park Wednesday. And if you miss it, on April 30 and May 1, Comedy Central is going to replay all the new episodes. Four episodes starting at 10/9c on April 30; the other four at the same time on May 1.
  • Harvey Birdman Volume 1 DVD is out. Yippee!
  • Cartoon Network has created and/or picked up a number of new shows. The ones that appeal the most to me are The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, My Gym Partner is a Monkey, and IGPX (The Immortal Grand Prix). The last one, which debuts in November, is the result of a partnership with Production IG and marks CN's debut in anime creation.
  • New episodes of Foster's Home, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Totally Spies, Billy & Mandy, Dragonball GT and Teen Titans (among others -- those are just the cool ones).
[EDIT: Almost forgot ... NEW episodes of Family Guy start May 1 on FOX. The network has ordered production of 35 episodes and agreed to air 13 (so far). The cool thing is that FOX got on the ball because (1.) FG did really well on DVD, and (2.) it jumpstarted a lagging Adult Swim. Power to the people, I guess.]

So ... that's that. Now back to more, err, mentally constructive pursuits.
