ITEM: Great news for premature ejaculators and non-cable owners: The entire first episode of Human Giant is now on iTunes for the price of no dollars. Yay.
ITEM: NBC has graciously allowed Tracy Morgan to continue being hilarious on a second season of 30 Rock. Whew.
ITEM: Ben Stiller is producing a new animated superhero satire for Dreamworks called Mind Master, which follows the empty life of a supervillain after he accidentally kills his nemesis. Meh.
ITEM: Comedy Central is taping a new pilot this week for a courtroom game show called Root of All Evil, featuring Paul F. Tompkins, Patton Oswalt, Andrew Daly, and Greg Giraldo, from Simpsons producer David Sacks. Go here if you'd like to attend. Whee.
ITEM: From the "Cancels Itself Out" News Department comes the announcement that Ken Kwapis will direct the film version of Greg Behrendt's non-fiction man-guide He's Just Not That Into You. Kwapis is a mainstay of contemporary classic television including Freaks and Geeks, The Larry Sanders Show, and The Office, cancelled out by the fact that he directed The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. And Behdrendt is a hilarious live comedian and David Cross associate, cancelled out by also hosting his own shitty daytime talk show. The final score, if you haven't been paying attention, is zero. Blah.
