Series premiere: Son of Zorn 2016/17

The PolyBlog
September 18 2016

Fox has a new show, and I described it earlier in my preview (TV predictions for the new season: 44 new shows (2016-17)) as “perhaps the weirdest show of the fall, we have an animated He-man-like character trying to connect with his human son and ex-wife.” Well, I said I would give it one episode and predicted 4 eps before early cancellation. Now that I’ve watched it, that might have been WAY too generous.

Think of a single Robot Chicken skit stretched over 25 minutes. With no more humour than was in the short skit. That would give you Ep 1 where Zorn meets his vegetarian son after being apart for 10 years, along with reuniting with ex-wife and meeting her new fiancé.

The son is a quiet dweeb, living in the suburbs, and Zorn sticks around hoping to butch him up. He gets a job, finds an apartment and gets his son new transportation. No, not a car, a giant hawk to ride around on. Which Mom says no to, so Zorn reluctantly chops the bird into giant pieces in the driveway.

Four episodes before cancellation is still my bet as they are likely already in the can. I wouldn’t have approved one.

    Green Curry Chicken with Eggplant and LemongrassJune 12, 2026
    Green Curry Chicken - This is one of my favourite dishes, compliments of a cooking course through the local public school board. I have rated it "medium-to-hard" for the level of difficulty but that is a bit misleading. The individual steps are not particularly difficult, nor is the sequencing, but there are a significant number of detailed steps (including sous-chef preparations) and it takes a long time to prep and cook; it is definitely not a "quick weeknight meal". I have also rated it "mild" for spice, and I do not have a particularly high threshold.

    It’s not you, it’s me: my first book-club breakupJune 12, 2026
    I have over 40 general book clubs that I follow, with several having sublists / groups. My intent when I started was to see what was out there and get out of my reading comfort zone, at least insofar as I would see what was on offer. I combed through 2025, and the first six … Continue reading →

    I feel like I’m having an old gangster movie flashback sequence where maybe Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney or Edward G. Robinson are talking to some wiseguys, see, and they’re gonna listen, see. I went all in this month, see, casing every joint, err, bestseller list in town. Get the lay of the land, see. That’s … Continue reading →

    Ah, the fresh scent of June and my birthday month. There are lots of interesting books for me to consider reading on my birthday. First, though, there are some gifts from last month that weren’t posted in time for my roll-up, even though I said no to all of them! I’ve also been wondering about … Continue reading →

    Leveling up – Three kitchens, one frogMay 28, 2026
    Let me start with a confession. I only have 12 recipes on the website. Not much of a start, right? But this is part of my anal-retentive side. I like to curate recipes, find some good ones, and then put them on my blog. Except that I have hated the design of my recipes for … Continue reading →
