Sorry I missed y'all yesterday but we're back. With just a few days before Xmas you may still have a hankering for your own personal favorite holiday shows and movies. LocateTV which is still in its Beta might be able to help you - just go to the site and type in your flick or program and it will hunt it down for you whether it be on TV, DVD, or online. Next week watch for a rant from me about this season's poor offerings. In a way, it's a good thing that there's been a hiatus in writing and producing new content, perhaps the networks have had more time to think about what they put on the TV for us to consume. more ›

Happy Monday. Here are cat songs. And since racist stereotypes know no species boundaries, and psychedelic jazz is as much for cartoon felines as it is for the children who love them, please also watch the post-jump video and behold Eva Gabor in all her boho wonder.
