Herr Claus may be the most sought-after German this week, but his countryman Herzog is also comin' to town.

The only thing keeping the partridge from the pear tree is that executive producer David Lynch is just an ornament on the marquee, not a key player. Maybe next time, if we're good little boys and girls. more ›
