When did NBC buy Universal? This is the first I've heard of this.

Yesterday it was all over the news.

"Visitors paid little attention to the NBC merchandise, stepping quickly to items with well-known Universal brands such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Van Helsing. "

Too bad the author of the article didn't know that SpongeBob is a Viacom brand...not an NBC Universal property.

I'm holding out for the merchandising of Bravo network....that life-sized James Lipton doll is ALL mine...:)

lol 'gator! Personally, I'm waiting for the Queer Eye action figures. :)

New for 2005: "Will & Grace: The Ride"

Mamoosh - that's funny!

Give me some of what Karen is on and I'm sure it will be a great ride :)

Eh... I'd prefer "Sarah Chalke's Scrubs Ride." To each his own, though.
