Simpsons Made A Lot Of Doh
It's hard to believe that 20 years ago the Tracy Ulman show introduced the world to a crudely drawn, poorly animated cartoon that would forever change television. It aired as a small filler segment for the show, but the popularity of The Simpsons spread like wildfire. In 1990, 20th Century Fox decided to take a gamble and make The Simpsons a primetime sitcom cartoon spearheaded by creator Matt Groening. That gamble was about to make history.

Throughout the years, Dowd incorporated web design and even video into his collection of services offered. Dowd says the business wasn't going "into the red," and there were no ...
Nerves Of Steel – Hollie Steel
Like Americans, the British love talent and reality shows, making them quite the rage across the pond. One of the more popular shows is Britain's Got Talent, which is like American Idol but they allow different kinds of performers to compete, making it not just a singing competition. Unlike American Idol, they allow any age to compete as long as they have the talent to move to the next round. However, here is a similiarity between the two shows: on the judging panel is the man who makes them quiver, Simon Cowell. About a year and a half ago the multi-decked ...
