In a press release from Fox, Family Guy's Stewie said the present he's giving Lois for Mother's day is "dark, lumpy and rhymes with 'moody.'" If your mom appreciates that kind of humor, you can send her best wishes by inserting your photo into an ecard from Fox at www.motherofasunday.com. Choose from King of the Hill, The Simspons, Family Guy and American Dad.

King of the Hill was recently, quietly, renewed for a thirteenth season on Fox. According to Variety.com, the renewal hinged on the return of creator Mike Judge.

Normally, I don't write about children's Saturday morning cartoons, but this one has a great resume. Saturday Night Live member Amy Poehler stars in a new cartoon she co-created on Nickelodeon. Bessie Higgenbottom (voiced by Amy Poehler) is the world's most ambitious and loveably unhinged 9 ¾-year-old member of the Honeybee troop for girls. As a member of the Honeybees, Bessie wears her uniform every single day, leads her troop with a zeal General Patton would have admired and has earned more badges then any other Honeybee in history. The Mighty B! premieres Saturday, April 26, 2008, at 10:30 a.m. ET.
