After watching the prelims tonight, my pick would have to be Ukraine. Otherwise it was a pretty lackluster show.

April 27, 1999- Robot Wars® LLC (aka Profile Records and Steve Plotnicki and Gary Pini) announce that they are suing Battlebots for attempting to cause "enormous economic harm" to Robot Wars® due to the fact that the 1999 planned event dates conflicted (which they did not: BB | RW). Battlebots owner Trey Roski responds
June 14, 1999- The decision is in! In the case of Robot Wars vs. BattleBots, the courts have decided that Robot Wars has NO rights to stop BattleBots from happening on its scheduled date and time.

APR 25 2004 BATTLEBOTS WINS COMPLETE VICTORY IN PROFILE RECORDS LAWSUIT
BattleBots Wins Complete Victory In Profile Records Lawsuit BattleBots is pleased to announce a complete victory in the lawsuit brought by Profile Records (now known as Astor Holdings). On April 22, 2004, a jury in New York returned a complete defense victory for BattleBots and Trey Roski. The jury unanimously rejected Profile's claim that BattleBots or Trey Roski tortiously interfered in agreements between Profile and Marc Thorpe, the creator of Robot Wars and a pioneer of robotic combat.
This represents the second time that BattleBots has defeated Profile Records or Robot Wars in litigation. In 1999, Robot Wars -- which at that time was owned entirely by Profile -- asked a federal judge in New York to stop BattleBots' first event. BattleBots defeated Robot Wars' motion for a preliminary injunction and Profile dismissed the lawsuit shortly after that. As a result, BattleBots August 1999 event in Long Beach, California went forward, and the rest is history. BattleBots' trial victory marks the end of a second lawsuit that Profile filed in March 2001 in federal court in New York.
Earlier in the case, U.S. District Judge Gerard Lynch dismissed many of Profile's claims against BattleBots, and the jury verdict resolved the rest of the case entirely in BattleBots' and Roski's favor. "After five years, we are thrilled to put Profile's aggressive litigation behind us, and are gratified that the jury confirmed what we have known all along -- that we acted properly and did nothing except help advance the sport of robot combat for you, the community of robot builders," said Trey Roski, the CEO of BattleBots. "We regret having to defend Profile's lawsuits, but are happy that we can now focus on moving our sport forward. Look forward to exciting announcements soon."

Meh, they are alright. Then again, if they never hit it big I would of never heard A Stroke Of Genie-us.

Wow, that's insane. The Darkness, The Offspring, Reel Big Fish, Peaches, The Donnas, The White Stripes, The Roots, The Streets, and J5 all at the one festival. If only I lived in England.

I have no complaints about how FOX has promoted The O.C.. They've turned that into a ratings bonanza, and I'm sure they intend for it to be around a long time.
They are already considering a spinoff starting in January for it. They are trying to milk it for all it's worth.

Plan on buying it tommorow. Do all the episodes have commentary tracks?

Sure, don't postwhore.
Post a show. I'm sure you'll get some feedback then.
