Last week during the Presidential debate Mitt Romney said he would cut funding to PBS and everyone has been focusing on Big Bird. Well yesterday on Late Night Jimmy Fallon focused on another PBS legend Mister Rogers and the results are pure genius. Mister Romney’s Neighborhood is the funniest thing I have seen done about PBS since Eddie Murphy did Mister Robinson’s Neighborhood on Saturday Night Live all those decades ago.
So if you are going to watch one education video today, make it Mister Romney’s Neighborhood!
The Barrens is out now in a Blu-ray combo pack and this movie will make you never want to camp again. It is movies like this one that is why I have never gone camping and I never will.
Richard Vineyard (Stephen Moyer) takes his family to New Jersey Pine Barrens for a camping trip and they will never be the same. Vineyard went there as a kid and he is convinced that he was chased by the Jersey Devil back then. Now decades later he thinks he the urban legend that has been haunting the area for over 400 years is back and after him. This hallucination will get him and his wife (Mia Kirshner), his daughter (Allie MacDonald) and their son (Peter DaCunha) lost in the woods fighting for their lives. But is his family’s life being threatened by the unknown Jersey Devil or the man they know better than anyone. You will have to watch this terrifying movie to find out.
Even though this movie scared the sh!t out of me, I couldn’t stop watching and wanting to know how the suspenseful flick ended.
And on that note the Blu-ray combo pack includes an alternate ending that I am happy the producers were able to get removed from the final product. They explain that in the commentary included with that scene and you can hear their other thoughts in the audio commentary during the movie.
Before Shannon Woodward was working at a grocery store on Raising Hope, she was just a little girl working out on Clarissa Explains It All. How awwwwdorable was the 7 year old in that 1991 episode?
Tonight at 8p on Raising Hope a social worker is sent to The Chances to investigate a child abuse claim, but she will change her course of action and be looking into how they treat Maw Maw (Cloris Leachman) instead. Now for you and me who watch the show every week, we know why they treat Maw Maw the way they do. But to an outsider it might seem like abuse and if they don’t clean up their act she will be taken from their home and put in a home. Will they be able to do everything on the social worker’s list or will Maw Maw be getting her own show Losing Hope? You have to tune into the very funny first part of the two-parter to find out.
Here’s a little spoiler as laugh out loud as tonight’s episode is, next week’s conclusion will have you laughing so hard you will need Depends just like Maw Maw. But you don’t want to miss a single laugh by not watching the show tonight on Fox at 8p.
