The FBC Crew attended Showtime’s 2011 panel entitled ‘Tired of Ordinary Television,’ which featured three of its TV shows: Dexter, Shameless, and the upcoming Homeland.  Despite taking place in Ballroom 20, which holds a little over 4,000 attendees, each show’s panel felt more intimate than most.  Although each show received an undivided allotment of time during the two-hour panel, the entirety of Showtime’s programming fell a bit flat, lacking both fans in the room and exciting news from the shows.

Robot Chicken came back to Comic Con this year, and this time not only did Whedonopolis get in, but I was front row and center in front of Seth Green (so close Seth almost hit me with a Hersheys Kiss when “passing” them out to the audience).

Go Team Venture!  The Adult Swim favorite The Venture Bros came back to Comic Con again this year with a preview of their exclusive Behind the Music documentary of Smooth Gravy! For those of you who don’t know what The Venture Bros is, think Johnny Quest grown up today, but with a diet pill addiction and an unstoppable killing machine of a body guard against an army of butterfly themed henchmen, all rolled up and on LSD.
