In celebration of forty years of , some of the early-season episodes are being released on DVD - just don’t show them to your kids. A disclaimer on the packaging explains: “These early Sesame Street episodes are intended for grown-ups, and may not suit the needs of today’s preschool child.”

Jonas Premieres Tomorrow Night: Do You Care?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Kids, Music, Prime Time, Cable, Gossip


Disney’s Jonas, a sitcom starring the , is scheduled to premiere Saturday night. I know what you’re thinking: is it possible for Disney to squeeze in more televised coverage of this trio? Evidently, it is.

But I expect it to be a flop, and that’s not a commentary on their acting abilities. I’d like to present the evident which supports this theory: Disney-viewing kids are, first, already Jonas saturated. They’re also too busy keeping up with Hannah Montana re-runs to worry about that many new shows - and Disney’s summer schedule is always so chock-full of made-for-TV movies it’s hard to realize they actually have serialized programming still running. The Jonas Brothers have also already proved they don’t have -like clout, as their movie performed below expectations at the box office.

Britney Spears Did WHAT?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Gossip, Rumors

Britney SpearsThis is one Britney Spears rumor even I can’t make heads or tails of. According to US Magazine, Spears is scouting around Beverly Hills for kids who aren’t her own. The report says Britney arrived at a Beverly Hills elementary school wearing revealing clothing and talked about picking up someone else’s children. One source says the pop star even seemed confused.

Arriving just before school let out in the afternoon, Spears said “I’m here to pick up my kids.” But then, “They aren’t my kids; I have a new attorney, and I came to pick them up for her.” During her visit to the school, Spears chain-smoked and “rambled,” in the words of one eyewitness. What about the children she was supposed to pick up? They never showed up. Eventually, Spears simply drove away all by herself.

So, okay, what’s going on here? Did some strange mother actually send Britney Spears to pick up her children, or was Brit just thoroughly confused? As more and more of this strange behavior manifests, I must confess to a growing concern. I may not know her, but I admit I’m starting to get a little worried about Britney Spears. Is all this just for …or is something really wrong with Brit?

This Week on TV (12/10-12/16)

The Hills

MONDAY (12/10)

  • (ABC, 8pm):  “Linus and Lucy’s little brother, Rerun, hangs with Snoopy and his own sibling, the desert-dwelling Spike.”  Was I the only one not aware of the What’s Happening!/Peanuts crossover episode?
  • (CBS, 8pm):  “Ted asks his doctor on a date and his friends try to discourage him from dating someone he sees regularly.”  Relationships clearly work best when you never see them at all.
  • (ABC, 9:30pm):  “Lauren tries to convince her sister to move to LA so she can be nearby when the baby is born.”  Lauren’s sister isn’t stupid.  She knows what ‘be nearby’ means.
  • (MTV, 10pm): Season finale.  “Lauren gets an offer to go to Paris.”  I really hope doesn’t take their version of quality programming overseas (again).  The French hate us already.
