Caprica canceled but new prequel show is a go

Syfy wasn't satisfied with ratings for the "Battlestar Galactica" prequel. But it's not all bad news for fans:

The news comes a week after another prequel series, "Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome", was announced. That more action-oriented show, set during the First Cylon War and following a 20-something William Adama as he is first assigned to the Galactica, has not been affected by this announcement.

Keith Richards talks about his memoirs

Listen on NPR's "Fresh Air."

"You think, in a 50-year relationship doing this stuff, that there's not going to be some conflict, some disagreements? Of course there's going to be," Richards says. "...[Jagger] got used to holding the reins, and that was a bit of a shock to me at the time. But I got to live with it. And anyway, actually, what happened is we ended up sharing the reins again. But at the time, yeah, that did shock me, or disappointed me. Shock, I'm beyond."

Rocky and Bullwinkle creator dies

Alex Anderson, the cartoonist who had to fight for credit as the creator of Rocky and Bullwinkle has died at age 90, reports The New York Times.

Mr. Anderson, whose credit for creating the characters faded from public view until he won a lawsuit in 1996, was not directly involved in the production of the television series, in which Rocky and Bullwinkle raced to the aid of those in danger and solved mysteries.\

...The series, created by Jay Ward (who had been Mr. Anderson’s childhood friend) and Bill Scott, made its debut on ABC in 1959 as “Rocky and His Friends.” In 1961 it moved to NBC as “The Bullwinkle Show,” one of the first prime-time network cartoon series.
