Merry and Pippen are friends sharing a two-bedroom apartment in the city. But when they have to bring in a third roommate to lower their costs, they can't possibly be prepared for what it will bring them.

Tune in tomorrow at 9 for the premiere of Smeagol and the City!

LOL

Other than "Children of Hurin" which JRR wrote all of before he died (Christopher did some fan-editing to make it presenatble) there really are no Tolkien spin offs. The closest is the videogames and MMORPGs. Not that I'm complaining.

BUT even if his estate had authorized a LOTR saturday morning cartoon, a series of sequel novels, and a manga, there's a chance some of those might be enjoyable, and I still beleive nothing can take away from a truly great story well told.

"Dune" is still a great novel, with some great sequels, and nothing Brian Herbert can do can make it worse.

"Star Wars" is still a great film, and nothing Lucas or anyone can do now can make it less of a great film (except of course surpressing the OOT, but that's another topic).
