MTV To Avoid More Music Videos With New Teen Wolf Series
Hecklerspray's working on a script for a television series based on Orko, the purple magician from the He-Man cartoon. It'll be a drama. In the pilot he'll meet a pair of lavender legs, they'll slowly fall in love, and then half way through season three he'll realize they're actually his legs which have been missing since shortly after birth. Initially this will pose an ethical dilemma, but then they'll move to Vermont and get married anyway. We've a guy at TBS that says he's very interested. MTV doesn't have room for more 80's fanfare - they're too busy bringing back Teen Wolf.

Flash Gordon Remake Gets Some Writers, Probably to Make it all Gritty and Urban
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun... Flash! Pakow! Ahhh! It's quite difficult to decide what made up word successfully describes the noise after 'Flash!' is cried on the Queen song, but hecklerspray has gone with 'pakow!' and forever it will remain that way. What is less difficult to describe is the news that Flash Gordon, polo playing (or american footballer, depending on how much stock you put in the 80s film) hero of the universe, is to make a return to the big screen. This comes across as particularly strange, following the fact that the recent Flash Gordon TV series was received in the way a crap-covered balloon given to a child with a terminal illness would be received. Stretched analogies aside, we mean the TV show wasn't very good. And it still isn't, actually. But this hasn't stopped Hollywood in their never-ending quest to rape nostalgia forever, which has frankly become such a stupidly common occurrence that we feel we should give it an official name. Leave your suggestions below.

Top 16 80s Kids’ Cartoon Villains
Did you know that the voice of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles baddie Shredder was actually voiced by Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air? No? Neither did we - and we're still recovering! Unless someone is playing a joke on us. Damn them! But it got us thinking: Why do we care so much about these characters? What is it about the cartoon baddies that we love so much? Aren't we supposed to hate them? Boo them when they come on the screen like some kind of pantomime villain? No, and the reason why is because they are usually the most interesting characters in the cartoon. So we have decided to come up with 16 of the best 80s cartoon villains. They reason we went for the 80s is because, well, that was when we were all kids. Plus it was a golden era. Or is that what everyone says? Enjoy, and feel free to tell us which ones we've missed...

Top 15 Annoyingly Catchy 80s TV Theme Tunes
Some TV themes just refuse to go away and leave us in peace. They are stuck in our heads forever. You could be innocently sitting in a bar or a pub having a nice drink, when someone's annoying mobile starts playing the A-Team. Then, bang! You can't get the damn tune out of your head. What makes it even worse is you don't want to either. Give it a few more hours (and a few more drinks) and you will annoyingly start shouting "a pity the fool" at your mates, who despite their protestations, also start to feel nostalgic and end up humming the tune on their drunken way home. It's like torture. Well, just to continue the cycle, hecklerspray has come up with 10 TV tunes from the glorious 80s for you to ponder. Now, some of the series started in the 70s. We are well of it, but we only picked the ones which subsequently ran during most of the 80s. Anyway, enjoy. If you can.
