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?

It's the new anthem for NYC

The Yanks pulled out a huge win last night thanks to AJ Burnett and Mo Rivera. I think it is a legitimate question to ask if Rivera is the best pitcher in the clutch ever, starter or closer. Tonight is an off night and I hope to catch up on a few of the shows. Always Sunny and the Office will be tops on the must watch list.

Jay Z and Alicia Keyes performed what Derek Jeter calls the new anthem of NYC before the game. Click here to watch the performace. The new Ronan Tynan?

A couple of quick hits as I have been woefully neglectful in this space.

- I am surprised at how much I have enjoyed Grey's Anatomy this year. I thought it was over for me with this show, but it has been very good. Ditto Parks and Recreation.
- My two fanboy shows, Smallville and Heroes, have been better than I anticipated. Heroes will never be what it could have been, but it is not horrible. Smallville isn't what it used to be but this Smallville 2.0 is pretty good.
- Fringe is phenomenal. And the promos they are running are great.
- I have every Flash Forward on my DVR unwatched.
- Cougar Town is secretly my favorite new show. Modern Family is great. Community is eh. Accidently of Purpose is a little less than eh.

I am building a Navigator nation

Do you believe how much TV our nation's kids watch? Well, actually, I do. I love kids shows. Noggin is a good time. Click here to see how many hours per week?

And we're back

Sports Sports Sports

Penn State looked nasty crushing Michigan in the Big House. It was nice to get that monkey off our backs...speaking of monkeys...

There will be no rally monkey this year as the Yankees finished off the Angels yesterday. This is a dream match up for me as there is nothing better than crushing the spirit of a Philadelphia sports fan. This is must see, appointment TV of the highest order.

I promise a return to normal posting as soon as I catch up on it all.
