	Netsurfer Books 05.12
		You know, it kind of sounds like "Futurama." The plot conceit lets Heinlein explore social mores, economics, technology, and all the cultural baggage that goes with his imaginary future.
		The Fox family is poor and multitudinous but they know how to have a good time, making each other gifts and goodies, putting on their warmest clothes and forming a candlelight procession in the snowy, starry night, and making music as well (mom on banjo, dad on snare drum, kids on cymbals, squeezebox, and recorder).
		The book is not perfect, sometimes reading like a cobbled collection of lectures loosely held together by a plot.

	Animation World News - Television
		Although the human characters on the show are animated using time-saving motion-capture technology, the bugs, robots, vehicles, and environments are all created with CGI, and the process is proving to be a difficult match for a budget-limited television show.
		Therefore, it seems likely the show will return as part of the Sunday night lineup when one of the current Sunday night animated shows (King Of The Hill, The Simpsons, Futurama) runs out of new episodes.
		Historically, science fiction television shows have been prone to problems caused by schedule demands and budget restrictions.
