I’ve discovered my new favorite show: “This Just In” on Spike TV. It’s on Sunday and Thursday nights. It is noteworthy for two reasons: it takes advantage of the ease and speed of Flash animation to provide topical jokes, and it has a political slant that is unique to any sitcom live or animated.

I’m telling you about it too late to catch it tonight (unless you run to the TV now), but you can check out the online site and then catch the repeat on Thursday, right before Stan Lee’s “Stripperella” which is, surprisingly, still on the air.

Also, tonight on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, “Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law” starts showing more episodes. I would say “New Season” but they don’t seem to be producing the episodes in any organized fashion that would constitute a season, and many of the first season episodes remain to be shown.

I would have told you about this in advance but the date caught me by surprise. I thought the new season started after the showing of “Blackwatch Plaid”, which has already aired, but according to the episode guide it’s the last episode. (sigh) Anyway, tonight’s new episode is called “Trio’s Company.” Next week’s episode, “The Devlin made me do it,” has an online clip.
