Columbus, OH (AP) - Loyal readers of Pat's Pantheon were given good news today, as it was reported that the cult hit blog would be picked up for a second season. Blogger.com announced the blog would be brought back for another season in the Monday, Wednesday, and possible Thursday time slots right after Claire's Crib blog (http://www.clairescrib.com/) in hopes of gaining more viewers.
Pat's Pantheon was launched in July and follows the charismatic Pat Thompson as he struggles with work, women, and life in his new surroundings of Columbus, Ohio. Fans have grown in cultish followings since the debut of the blog and have grown to love Pat's postings. A fan favorite has been the Pat Moments.
Though fans were worried about the blog when the blogger began experimental postings about McDonald's commericals, ghost riding, and comparing himself to Freddie Prince Jr. Fans were also worried that the blog might not get picked up for a second season when the postings would be spread weeks apart and come at infrequent times, a tell tale sign that a blog might not get picked up.
Pat had this to say about being picked up for another season, "I want to thank the loyal readers for their support in my blog getting picked up for another season."
Pat has mentioned that season 2 will keep the fan favorites but he is not afraid to push the envelope. Rumors of new postings include running diary's, celebrity cameos, and a possible Christmas special.
"Season two is going to be full of surprises," said Pat "It will rock your socks off."

I think a good way to draw in new readership for season 2 would be for Pat to introduce either a)a wacky neighbor or b)a fresh of the boat immigrant roommate. Perhaps this new roommate could be your Eastern European shepherd cousin. You also might consider adding a big breasted blonde, that's always popular with the 18-35 male demo that you're shooting for. Or, if you're feeling lazy, you could just rip off A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila and become a bisexual. Feel free to adapt any of these ideas as you see fit, although I would like a percentage if my suggestions result in the blog becoming a breakout hit.
