Pro whizplanker Patrick Melcher has teamed up with BMX shred-vet Jon Peacy to make a new TV series—or at least the firing-off point of one. If it comes to fruition, Good Times Roll will feature the two shredders’ travels around the country from spot to spot. Along the way they’ll enlist locals as guides and live that life on the road, all in front of the cameras.
“This is gonna get sooo loose!” says Peacy. “Straight killing spots and pumping the revolution is what’s goin’ down!”
All they need now is a TV network with the vision to kick it into gear.

I was fortunate enough to attend the premiere of the Maurice Sendak doc Tell Them Anything You Want in New York last week. DO NOT miss this extraordinary film on HBO starting October 14th. Directed by Spike Jonze and Lance Bangs.

I don’t know about the ones on IFC, but the eleven episodes that they managed to squeeze by Fox were hysterical. You know how Family Guy and South Park are always slipping things by the censors? Well, Greg the Bunny, Warren DeMontague, Count Blah, Tardy Turtle, and their human friends Jimmy (Seth Green), Alison (Sarah Silverman), Gil (Eugene Levy) slid snide innuendo under radars the FCC didn’t even know to monitor. It’s an adult show about the making of a children’s show (Sweet Knuckle Junction) and you can get it on DVD.
