Most, if not all, super heroes wear cloaks and masks to hide their identity. But how about a burqa? A new cartoon series in Pakistan is turning stereotypes on their head. It's centered around a woman who doesn't wear a burqa in the daytime but puts one on to transform into the "Burka Avenger" - and what's more, she's fighting for female education. The cartoon is already the talk of the country and it hasn't even launched yet. But enough about that because Robin Williams (pictured as Mork from Ork) will soon be starring in his first regular television series role since Mork & Mindy, which ran from 1978 to 1982. Set in Chicago, the new series, which will be called The Crazy Ones, follows the lives of the people who work for the Roberts & Roberts advertising agency, headed by Simon Roberts (played by Williams), a successful yet unpredictable genius, and his daughter Sydney Roberts (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), who is more reasonable and determined to make a name for herself. Despite being polar opposites, the twosome have managed to use unusual ways to win or keep clients, even if the people who they work with think they're crazy to pull it off, especially if it's from their boss, Simon. I just hope they don't retool it every season only for it to continue to slide in the ratings.
