- Coming to DVD shelves this week: Martha & Friends: Holiday Collection. This all-new collection includes three specials for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas adventures and DIY craft activities the whole family can enjoy.
- New web series alert! Separate Checks is the creation of comedians, Jay Bois, Katina Corrao and director Jamie Greenberg. The four shorts revolve around a former couple, Dale and Toni Swanson that, before their divorce had a highly successful food show together called "Spoonin". After a bitter divorce, their show was canceled. Heading out on their own to lackluster ratings, they soon discovered that the world prefers them together.
- I am not sure if the Rocket City Rednecks are the smartest dumb people in America or the dumbest smart people. At any rate, season two is starting up Thursday November 29 on the National Geographic Channel.
- For those that want to test their TV sitcom trivia, Movoto Real Estate has pictures of famous living rooms for you to figure out.
- In some not very surprising news, TNT announced yesterday that they will be renewing Major Crimes for a second season. It was the number one new cable series this year. Look for season two to start sometime next summer.
- In a month, when Barack Obama is reelected, and all the Republicans sit around wondering how one of the worst presidents got reelected (much like the Democrats did eight years ago), do not blame Mitt Romney. Blame the Republicans in Congress. As Tom Arnold, of all people, eloquently says when talking about what he would do if he were president he walk over to Congress and say, “Listen guys, people aren't really digging me, and they f------ really hate you guys," Arnold tells TakePart he'd say to Congress. "Let's build something, man. Let's put some s#*t together for the people out there who can't stand us.” It is really a sad day when Tom Arnold becomes the voice of reason.
