If you came of age in the aughts, you likely grew up watching a very specific set of cartoons -- ones that haven't yet gotten their big nostalgia moment alongside the "remember the '90s" crowd. After the "Kim Possible" era and before the "Phineas and Ferb" generation, shows like "Dave the Barbarian" and "American Dragon: Jake Long" briefly took over the Disney Channel with high-concept hi-jinks and lovable characters.
The latter series only lasted two seasons, but with talented voice and screen actor Dante Basco in the lead, a theme song covered by The Jonas Brothers, and a Chinese-American protagonist juggling everyday life with superpowers, "American Dragon: Jake Long" was impossible to forget. Over 15 years since the series drew to a close, /Film's Rafael Motamayor spoke with series creator Jeff Goode about bringing the story back to life.

Estelle Harris, who played George Costanza’s (Jason Alexander) mother Estelle on the iconic NBC sitcom Seinfeld, died Saturday evening of natural causes in Palm Desert, California, just weeks before her 94th birthday.
“It is with the greatest remorse and sadness to announce that Estelle Harris has passed on this evening at 6:25pm,” her son Glen Harris, who held her as she drew her final breath, told Deadline. “Her kindness, passion, sensitivity, humor, empathy and love were practically unrivaled, and she will be terribly missed by all those who knew her.”
Born Estelle Nussbaum in New York City on April 22, 1928, Harris appeared on 27 episodes of Seinfeld between 1992 and 1998. (The character had been named Estelle before she landed the part.) She began pursuing acting at assorted amateur community theaters while raising her children, and went on to find incredible success both on stage and on screen, also featuring in such series as Futurama,...

The 3Ds is absolutely thriving right now. Among the half dozen or so games on the console that I hope to have time to play in the next two months is Atlus’s hotly anticipated new entry in its Megami Tensei series of RPGs, Shin Megami Tensei IV.
Now, I was in fact planning to buy the game from the start, but recently an overzealous GameStop employee convinced me to plunk down $5 for a pre-order when I originally had no intention of doing so. Of course, one of my buddies ribbed me relentlessly for getting bullied into a pre-order by an aging George Costanza look-alike, to which I did not have a suitable comeback. Well, that’s all about to change: I obviously did it for the $30 of eShop credit!

Comedienne Joan Rivers has taken aim at Victoria Adams, branding her "vulgar" for spending so much money on her appearance. The 76-year-old funnywoman blasts the singer-turned-fashion-designer for flaunting her wealth by purchasing luxury clothes and accessories, when the wife of David Beckham could be spending her money on more worthwhile causes.
The Queen Zonthara of TV series "Dave the Barbarian" says, "Victoria Beckham should get a life. I'm not a fan of outrageous consumption. I think it is vulgar. And no-one should flaunt that they have a hundred Hermes 6,000 pounds bags. Not when people are starving. Everyone should be allowed to have a great time but she shows a distinct lack of class."
But a source tells Britain's Daily Star, "Victoria does not own hundreds of Hermes bags. She actually has 34."...
