It's an old cliche, but worth repeating: Comedy is serious business, even when we're talking about the nut shots and fart jokes of Robot Chicken, even when we're talking about the gentler, youth-appropriate rowdiness of Cartoon Network's Mad. Kevin Shinick knows about that -- he's copped an Emmy writing for Chicken and not only writes but produces and is a heavy contributor to the voice population of Mad. I got to sit down with him to discuss how these shows come together, explore mutual geekly passions, and discuss the aborted Star Wars comedy show.

The Celtics and Nets have agreed to a blockbuster trade that will send Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to Brooklyn, as first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.

Wojnarowski reported earlier on Thursday that Brooklyn and Boston started discussing a potential blockbuster deal involving Garnett and Pierce. Garnett needed to waive his no-trade clause for the deal to work, per the Associated Press. During the 2013 NBA Draft, Wojnarowski tweeted that Garnett agreed to do just that.
