Sesame Street gets political?

I love Sesame Street. It was the first TV show, along with the Muppet Show, that I really watched. Well the folks over at the Children's Workshop are taking some heat for having Oscar play the role of pundit on a fake news show. Check out the story here.

Celebrate the holidays with Mythbusters

I love a good marathon, and it only gets better if it is a holiday marathon. Discover is going to provide a nice chunk of marathon that you can flip in and out of without a care. My favorite Dicover show, Mythbusters, has a marathon on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Years Day. Click here for the full Discover run down.

I am sure there will be other marathons, and to sit back and flip between them is heavenly. It also helps when you know you don't have to worry about watching Penn State, who won't be playing on New Years Day...maybe Christmas Day. What a dog performance that was against Ohio State.

Anyway, Mythbusters is a good time and a great marathon show.

Curb Your Enthusiasm - Black Swans and Broadway Cops

Tedious work projects are now behind me. I feel reborn. I want to talk about the last two Curbs to start off round two here on the Navigator.

Best two episodes of the season hands down. The show is really building to a crescendo with the reunion episodes. A couple of thoughts:

- In the Swan, it was nice to see Larry getting eyeballed instead of doing the eyeballing.
- Marty Funkhauser grows on me more and more every time he is on screen.
- Has Jeff always been such a hound? He and his wife were always splitting up, but I don't remember the affairs like this season. They previously split up over Oscar the dog.
- There are only two ways to hurt your neck reminded me of when Larry had the hair caught in his throat for about 4 episodes. Hilarious.


The 3 big questions for the last two episodes are...Will Larry get Cheryl back? Will the reunion episodes be funny? How awkward will Michael Richards be?
