Summer is upon us, and that means that it's time for more updates! A massive amount has been added to the site between now and our last entry back in March. So, if you need something to get your summer rolling, just take a look at all that is listed below.
To start with, we have two new pages: the Fanmail page and the Showtimes page. If you've ever wanted to write Greg a letter, we now have a few snail mail addresses that you can try out, along with some tips on how to write an effective letter. If you want to watch Greg on your television, then head on over to the Showtimes page for a small directory of sites that, depending on what country you live in, will assist in telling you what Greg-related shows and films will be airing on your local channels.

That's all for now, pleased stayed tuned for our next update!
At long last, GPN is bringing you a slew of updates, just in time to enjoy for spring break (for you fellow college students out there)! If you have a little bit of downtime in store, or need a bit of Proops to cheer you up from the winter blues, then hopefully GPN's latest updates will be of use to you!
First though, since I forgot to mention it before, Greg Proops Net has actually had its first birthday. That's right, folks - GPN's been alive and kicking for well over a year now (save for our bit of downtime a few months back), and we intend to stick around for many more years to come! Our birthday was actually back in January, but as it received no nod, well, it's time to celebrate it now, with this massive update!
To kick things off, you might have noticed that the front page video is shiney and new. Mr. Proops himself was exceedingly gracious to shoot that quick little promo for me so that I might use it for the website. Big thanks to Greg for being so kind and taking the time, and for making an awesome little video!
Next, I'd like to announce GPN's latest addition to the site: the Graphics page! The Graphics page features numerous buttons, banners, and colorbars for you to use on your blog, Livejournal, myspace, website, wherever! Its link can be found under the 'Art' tab in the menu. However, as it's a new link, I haven't had time to go through every single page and add it into the menu, so some page might not have it linked yet. You can always access it through the main page, as well as others, while I hurry up and add it to the rest of the site. Likewise, if you are an online artist and would like to contribute to GPN, you're more than welcome to send in your creations to me, Webmistress Diane.
Our next biggest update definitely has to be the Galleries! We have added a colossal amount - 1191 new photos and screencaps - since our last update. The new additions can be found in the following sections - please do check them out:

- MadWorld Month: The Commentators (2/19/09)
We've been adding quite a bit of creative works from others lately. Their generous contributions to the site continue to help make the site varied, colorful, and full of creativity. The latest artist additions, which can be found on the Icons & Avatars and Wallpapers pages, include the following:
- 14 Icons By Cali
- 41 Icons By Flo
- 11 Icons By Didi
- 1 Icon By Diane
- 6 Icons By Love
- 2 Wallpapers By Flo
We have two new fanlisting affiliates, The Chip Esten Fanlisting and The Jeff Davis Fanlisting. The links to both fanlistings can be found on our Fanlistings page.
The Why We Love Greg page has become fairly popular and has been updated with a host of new reasons why we fans adore the big ocelot.
Lastly, but certainly far from least, I'd like to recognize our second donator to the website, Jennifer Allen of England, who contributed $5 to the website. Thank you Jennifer, your generousity is much appreciated!
Until next time, folks! I just want to mention, even though it seems like it's a long time in-between updates, I actually update the site multiple times a week, and then compile everything into a big list like this once I have quite a lot. So if you don't want to have to keep waiting for me to actually post the list, you can just surf the site for updates and new things. Like I said, I'm continually adding to it, especially to the video clips, galleries, press, and icons and avatars pages. So just keep checking the site and browsing around! Thanks, thank you for visiting the site!
As the end of January and the beginning of February approaches, I decided that it was about time for another massive update.
To kick things off this time, three brand-new sections have been added to GPN. The first is the Shopping Spree, which is a link portal to websites that contain Greg memorabilia on sale and available for purchase. It's handy to use if you're trying to find a place to buy his DVDs, comedy albums, AudibleProops, and more. The second new area is the Calendar, which is just a fun page for fans who would like to have a Proops 2009 calendar to use for everyday referencing, to decorate their walls with, and so forth. It's a work in progress, and so far only three of the twelve months have been posted. Hopefully more will be up soon! The last all-new area is Why We Love Greg, a page specifically made for fans to list their personal reasons why the big ocelot means so much to them. It's simply a fun little way to compile fans' - of all ages, across the globe - responses and reviews.
If you've been having the January blues and need some perking up, then I highly suggest you watch one, if not all, of our shiney six new Video Clips! They include:
- Chelsea Lately January 17th 2009 Part 1
- Chelsea Lately January 17th 2009 Part 2
- Interviews - South Side Steve TV, January 23rd 2009
- Interviews - With Mara Davis, January 22nd 2009

We're back, and we're better and bigger than ever before.
Greg Proops Net has returned!
After being shut down for nearly two months, Greg Proops Net has reopened its pearly gates once more to Proops fans of all ages across the globe. The return of the site is primarily thanks to Mr. Proops himself, who asked, in person, for the site to make a comeback on the interwebs, and to all of the loyal visitors and viewers of GPN who took the time and effort to email me, asking for the site back. And thus, here we are - with a small host of new features to boast!
Probably our biggest and most important new feature is the spiffy new news system. There are now two functional ways to keep up with your Greg-related news. The Proops Periodical will serve as the sole source for all things having to do with Greg - tour updates, insider information on his upcoming roles and film work, release dates, and so forth. The Network News will act as the gateway to updates and info concerning the main website. Any time anything will be added to GPN, it will be reported via The Network News - from video clips, to audio snippets, to new icons, and so forth. What is so nice about these news systems are how fully functional and easy to use they are. On the righthand side you'll see different categories, tags, and links that will help you browse and navigate through old and past news, allowing you to catch up on things you either might have missed, or to quickly and simply relocate a bit of news that you wanted to re-read. You can also type in phrases, keywords, etc., into the searchbox, and find things that way as well. All posts are automatically archived per month.
If you have Livejournal, you can also watch both news systems and have all updates and feeds go directly onto your friends page. Please watch and add ProopsNews and ProopsNetNews to your friends list for instant updates!
Probably our next biggest set of news is that, after a good deal of hard work, hand-coding, editing, and designing, the Greg Proops Net Forum - The Proops Experience is finally open for business! Please do flock on over and check it out, and start posting away! There are a series of threads and sections for your discussion delight. Just please be sure to read over the rules and regulations before posting. Enjoy!
Another big change is that the Icons And Avatars section has been utterly revamped. Each artist now has their own individual page with links to their personal pages, how they wish to be credited, etc. It's a much better system to give more credit to the artists who deserve them, who happily and kindly allow GPN to display their beautiful work.

For those of you who use Livejournal, our LJ community, Proopalicious, has been revamped with a new design and look. If you haven't joined it yet, please do! Like the forum, it is in desperate need of some members to get it active.
In more general updates, one new piece of Fanart and one new Wallpaper has been added.
Lastly, but not least, I have opened up a new section - the Donate page. The site and its multiple components have become quite costly for me, so any and all donations and help would be dearly appreciated.
Thanks for being a part of Greg Proops Net! May we be open for many years, and continue to grow and expand! Thank you to each and every visitor, and especially to Mr. Greg Proops himself, who has not only been supportive of this site, but whose wonderful works and endeavors are why this site exists in the first place!

The other day, I stumbled across an intriguing blog entry. The blog belongs to a woman by the name of Laura Swisher, an artist of sorts who has done television show hosting as well as standup. The entry was taken from May 10th, 2009, and discusses herself, a comic by the name of Hari Kondabalo, and Greg involved with a new project that was filmed on Mother's Day. The entry is as follows:
Sunday, May 10th, 2009
Spent Mother's Day shooting in Chinatown with comics Hari Kondabalo and Greg Proops. This is us in the Grand Star Jazz Club after a stand-up show this afternoon.
I hope I don't jinx this project by writing about it, but I can say that this show would be AMAZING if it gets picked up, if only to hang out with Hari and Greg.
Spending time with Proops is like hanging out with a human encyclopedia. Want to talk about T.E. Lawrence, the Bataan Death March, the drug habits of your favorite legendary actors and anything related to cinema? Greg's your guy.
Anyway, I'm a big fan of both these guys and have got my fingers crossed that I'll be able to work with them in the relative near future.
As it is so vague, it is thus very much open to speculation, and will be treated as merely a rumor until more information materializes. Nevertheless, it would be nice to see Mr. Proops doing more than one show again!
"The Best Of Whose Line" will be a two disc DVD set consisting of ten episodes that are supposed to represent the absolute best of Whose Line. The region one (US & Canada only) DVD will be released on June 9th of this year.
Below is text from a statement released on tvshowsondvd.com that describes the DVD release in more detail:
Drew Carey hosts this American version of the British improvisational comedy series as an ensemble performs unrehearsed "games" before a live audience. No one gets voted off the show. That would be too easy. Instead contestants face crueler fates: be a fish on a TV dating show, Adam and Eve when they first converse, a doo-wop group singing about a girl (and a tragic taxidermy accident). We're not making this up. They are.
Host Drew Carey, a clever crew of comedy regulars and special guests (David Hasselhoff, Florence Henderson, Jerry Springer, Richard Simmons, bodybuilder Jane Tricker and more) come up with funny-on-the-fly in the hit series that crosses a game show with mad improvisation. Discover 10 of the show's best episodes with all of the censor bars and bleeps removed, so you can enjoy every bit of the delicious and daring funny business in all its glory. Uncensored means that the potential for laughter is unlimited!
Warner Home Video has announced that a DVD release titled Whose Line Is It Anyway? - The Best Of will come to stores on June 9th. This 2-disc, 300-minute release contains 10 favorite episodes of the classic, kooky series, at a cost of $24.98 SRP. Below is a list of those episodes:
Show No. 308 "Ryan smashing head" (First Aired: Thursday June 14, 2001)
Show No. 401 "good show with Wayne as Singing Bass and kissing Colin" (First Aired: Thursday September 6, 2001)
Show No. 413 Too Hot For Whose Line (First Aired: Wednesday October 3, 2001)
Show No. 512 "with Florence Henderson" (First Aired: Monday September 30, 2002)
Show No. 521 "with Richard Simmons" (First Aired: Friday June 20, 2003)
Show No. 610 "with Kathy Griffin & David Hasselhoff" (First Aired: Friday June 27, 2003)
Show No. 611 "with bodybuilder Jane Tricker" (First Aired: Friday July 11, 2003)
Show No. 505 Valentine's Day Show "with Loyola Marymount Cheerleaders" (First Aired: Saturday August 7, 2004)
Show No. 419 "Fluff your Garfield" show
Show No. 612 Jerry Springer in "Dubbing" game / Colin dancing in "Greatest Hits" game
818 is a new independent comedy film that will find Greg in the role of a character named Barry. There is very little to be found about the film itself at the moment, let alone about Greg's character. However, the plot synopsis as posted via the 818 IMDB page can be quoted as follows:
"For eight glorious years Alyssa Rampart-Pillage ruled prime-time television, starring in the hit medical drama, "HMO Nurse." But these days, Alyssa's doing commercials for her husband's Valley-based appliance store chain. After the accidental death of their daughter, Alyssa's husband has a spiritual crisis, and starts giving away all of their money to charity... until Alyssa intervenes. A modern riff on Electra, 818 is about Fame, Family and Celebrity Justice."
Look for more information on 818 as it develops and envelops!
"True Jackson VP", the new tween-targeted comedy show on Nickelodeon, has quickly evolved into a smashing hit. Greg plays Max Madigan, the quirky CEO of a major fashion company, Mad Style. The show also boasts actress Keke Palmer in the title role of True Jackson, and it was via Keke's official website, KekePalmer.com, that it was announced that the show has been picked up for a second season! With not even ten episodes yet to have aired, this is exciting news indeed for the future of the show. While Greg is currently not confirmed to be returning, until it is said otherwise, we can assume that he will resume his role.
Some time ago last year, GPN announced that Greg would be doing commentary work in the upcoming Wii Game "MadWorld". It has finally been announced that MadWorld will be released on March 10th for the US, and on March 20th for all countries that are members of the EU. Greg plays Howard, one of two Death Watch commentators. The game itself has an arcade gameplay structure, with flat primarily black and white images for a bit of an older school look. The story of the game is that, to quote the official MadWorld website:
"In Varrigan City, driven into quarantine and chaos by the outbreak of a deadly virus, 'survival of the fittest' takes on a whole new meaning as trapped citizens are pitted against each other in the gruesome sports show "Death Watch". Play as Jack and fight to the death as he battles to win the ultimate prize - his life."
For a recent interview with Greg and John DiMaggio (who voices as the other commentator) with their thoughts on the game and what went on behind the scenes, do take a moment to read this article.
