Soup News

You may recall that I spent much of last March, as I spend most recent Marches, eating Creamy Tomato Soup at my local Souplantation. They have it every March and then usually for one week in October. One week in October is probably when you will next find me at my local Souplantation.

So one day last March, I was sitting there eating Creamy Tomato Soup when a gentleman approached me to say hello and thank me for recommending my favorite soup here. He was Bill Freiberger, a top writer-producer who's worked on a wide array of shows including The Simpsons, Herman's Head, Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Get a Life and Greg the Bunny. He's currently working on Warren the Ape, which is seen on MTV. He told me that he'd just written an episode in which the Souplantation's Creamy Tomato Soup was mentioned. I told him to let me know when it airs.

Well, he just let me know it airs this coming Monday evening at 10:30, which probably means different times in some time zones. He also let me know that while the Souplantation is much-discussed, the reference to Creamy Tomato Soup got cut. I plan to watch anyway and so should you.
