I’m a huge fan of the National Lampoon’s Vacation movies. Out of the blue, Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo returned to their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold. They even brought out a brand new Family Truckster!

The commercial appeared during the Super Bowl, but turns out homeaway.com filmed a full short film (14 minutes)! It’s pretty funny.

There’s also a behind the scenes video of YouTube here.

Sammy Sosa…

• Said he didn’t take steroids. He did.
• Said he couldn’t speak English when asked questions by Congress. He can.
• Said the corked illegal bat wasn’t his. It was.
• Now says he turned white because of a skin rejuvenation treatment????

Good Grief.

Finally, a role for “The Dush,” Eliza Dushku, that all should be proud of her for. She beat up Jimmy Fallon on Late Night!

Regis Philbin is on overload lately. First, he appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, dressed as Shrek. Next, there was news that ABC will bring back Who Wants to be a Millionaire this August for a two week run.

As I’ve mentioned in episodes past, I am an avid motorsports fan, including the IndyCar series. The series will be shown for the first time on Comcast’s fledgling Versus network. Below is a promo from Versus for the coverage. It’s a short one done all in computer animation, where the cars transform into animals. Though this is not affiliated with Hasbro or Transformers at all. Yet another example though of the classic and proper way to animate a “Transformer.” Unlike the nonsense from Michael Bay.
