The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which has been on high alert ever since Janet Jackson ripped off her top at the Super Bowl, is considering loosening their restrictions on network television. This has already upset many parent groups, who fear their children will be exposed to copious amounts of sex and vulgar language. This week, Joel Murphy addresses those parents with a simple, straightforward message: “I don’t care about your kids.”

This week Joel Murphy poses the eternal question: How much is enough? When it comes to American television, it seems like viewers appetites are absolutely insatiable. Shows like Futurama, Veronica Mars and Arrested Development get a second life thanks to passionate pleas from fans. Iron Man 3 and Star Trek: Into Darkness reign supreme at the box office. Can American audiences ever truly be happy with what they have or will they always want more, more, more of their favorite shows?

Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos responded to questions about other shows following in Arrested Development’s footsteps by saying: “The Firefly fan is still the Firefly fan from when it was on TV and there’s fewer of them and they’re more passionate every year. Whereas with Arrested Development we’re going to be serving a multiple of the original audience. Any of the other shows we could bring back would be a fraction of the original audience.” Joel Murphy takes exception to Sarandos’ comments in this week’s column.

By merging Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and The Incredible Hulk into one massive cinematic universe, Marvel was able to give us the incredibly entertaining blockbuster film The Avengers. But each one of those films featured a cameo by Stan Lee. And all of those versions of Stan Lee lived in different cities and had different jobs and backstories. So if all of those films really are connected, then why is there a seemingly infinite number of Stan Lees running around in it? Joel Murphy investigates in this week’s column.

The past few days have been trying ones for us all as we are inundated with horrific images and stories from Boston. We are all struggling to make sense of it all and to find a way to go on with our daily routines. So with that in mind, Joel Murphy takes a break from his normal pop culture rants to offer a gentle palate cleanser – the story of Cuddles McGee, an adorable little pug who has an eventful day at the dog park (which features a fantastic illustration by artist Jane Wynn).

Breaking Bad has just a handful of episodes left until it ends forever, which means sadly the finale will be the last time we see Walter White, Jesse Pinkman and the rest of the colorful characters that inhabit that world … everyone except Saul Goodman, that is. Deadline is reporting that the unscrupulous lawyer, played by Bob Odenkirk, may be getting his own hour-long spinoff comedy series. Joel Murphy shares his thoughts on this news in this week’s column.

After shelving the film for nine months to reshoot scenes and convert it into 3D, Paramount is finally releasing G.I. Joe: Retaliation, burying it in March when it won’t face any stiff competition and hoping the added bump from the 3D ticket prices will help recoup the film’s budget. Joel Murphy knows the movie will be terrible. And he was already let down once by it predecessor, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, he still wants to see Retaliation in the theater. Murphy discusses this strange desire in this week’s column.

Fans of Veronica Mars have been clamoring for a film ever since the show went off the air. But even though creator Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell have always been open to the project, Warner Bros., the studio that owns the show, has been reluctant to make a film. So yesterday, Thomas turned to Kickstarter to raise the funds. Joel Murphy looks at this unprecedented move and wonders what it will mean for the future of film and television.

William Moody, known to pro wrestling fans as Paul Bearer, passed away on Tuesday at age 58. As The Undertaker’s longtime manager, Bearer would most often be seen clutching an urn and cutting promos in his trademark high pitched, quivering voice. Moody will be greatly missed by wrestling fans, Joel Murphy chief among them. This week, Murphy pays tribute to Moody and explains why his funeral director gimmick was such a special thing to behold.

The 85th annual Academy Awards were handed out last night in a ceremony hosted by Seth MacFarlane. It was a bloated affair heavy on musical numbers and terrible banter among presenters. If you skipped the proceedings in favor of watching The Walking Dead, don’t worry, Joel Murphy has you covered with the 11 most important things he took away from the telecast. If you did watch the show, relive the highlights (and lowlights) from a night that included sock puppets, the Jaws theme and Quentin Tarantino thanking himself while accepting an award.
