Sherlock is back for a 2nd season on PBS beginning on May 6th, and my kids and I can’t wait!

The season 1 DVD of Bob’s Burgers is insanely funny, and if your kids are old enough for some raunchy humor, like mine are, you will find yourselves giggling for hours. Bob’s Burgers is an animated series set in a small beach town in New England, but really, you hardly ever get out of the [...]
My Little Pony fans, take note: A Royal Wedding will take place this Saturday, April 21st on the Hub TV Network!

Alcatraz started out strong last week on Fox – and at 8pm, right in the sweet spot for Tween viewing. My kids and I watched it and were intrigued. But Monday night’s episode (1/23) aired at 9pm and turned out to be super creepy from the opening scene, so I’m grateful my kids were already [...]
