Tiffany Thornton, who plays Tawni on Disney Channel’s hit series Sonny With a Chance, sings a Christmas duet with legendary Muppet star Kermit the Frog in a new music video premiering Friday on Disney Channel. The pair sing the song “I Believe,” which is performed as they prepare for the holidays by wrapping gifts, trimming the tree and making paper snowflakes. Kind of cute for its target audience.

By Jeff Pfeiffer Happy Holidays! ‘Tis the season to be jolly, and also to look back at some Christmas memories. What better way to be jolly than to enjoy some Yuletide TV programs from the past? Throughout the month I’ll be looking back at some famous, and perhaps some not-so-famous, Christmas shows from television days gone by. Hopefully you’ll find them as merry in their various ways as I do. First off is a program I was reminded of when I saw it on BBC America the other night — Blackadder’s Christmas Carol from 1988. The hilarious Blackadder sitcom aired […]
Set your DVR — as part of its 25 Days of Christmas celebration, ABC Family is showing 20 of Pixar’s animated shorts in a two-hour programming special on Dec. 2 at 7pm ET, with replays Dec. 18 at 10pm ET and Dec. 19 at 6pm ET. This is the first time that the legendary animation company’s short films have been shown on television all at once. It’s wonderful to look back at how brilliantly even the older films create such vivid and expressive characters — even out of normally inanimate objects — that we quickly relate to. Highlights include: The […]
Peggy Black of Orange, CT, has hit it big in yellow and been selected by producers of The Simpsons as the winner of their Character Contest, which called for submissions of new secondary character ideas for the long-running animated comedy. Black created the character Ricardo Bomba (nicknamed “La Bomba”), a smooth-talking ladies’ man from South America with a luxurious black mane, chiseled physique and silky smooth voice. By day, Ricardo works as safety inspector at the nuclear power plant, and by night works Springfield’s singles scene. Bomba will make his debut in the “Million Dollar Maybe” episode of The Simpsons, […]
By Jeff Pfeiffer This Sunday, Nov. 22, will be the 46th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The exact details behind this act remain among our country’s most enduring mysteries, and have led to many theories, some reasonable, others bordering on — or crossing into — crackpot conspiracy territory. It’s likely we will never know for sure what actually took place leading up to the firing of those bullets in Dallas’ Dealey Plaza in 1963, but it will always remain good speculative fodder for TV networks and fascinated audiences. This year is no exception, as a few […]
Two fan-favorite actresses from Syfy’s departed hit series Battlestar Galactica will be making guest appearances on two popular CBS comedies. In the Nov. 16 “Gorp. Fnark. Schmegle.” episode of Two and a Half Men, Tricia Helfer (on the right in this photo; she played sexy Cylon “Number Six” on Battlestar) stops by. Helfer plays Gail, Chelsea’s (Jennifer Taylor) college roommate, who is invited by Chelsea to stay at the house while getting over a bad breakup. Naturally, Charlie (Charlie Sheen) is intrigued, and likely a bit frustrated, by this development.
World War II is likely thought of by the average person literally in “black and white” terms, and not just because of the reasons for the conflict. Most of the images and film we’ve seen from that period are in black and white, and over time that has given the events and people portrayed in them a sense of not being real, as if they existed in some other world — or that it all took place so long ago that it has no bearing on us. The lack of color, to our modern and sometimes jaded eye, may also […]
On Nov. 11 — Veterans Day — stay tuned in the morning and early afternoon for coverage on news networks such as CNN, C-SPAN, FOX News Channel and MSNBC, which have traditionally covered the annual wreath-laying ceremonies at places such as Arlington National Cemetery. Your local news channels may also be covering ceremonies in your area. Here are a few other notable TV programs honoring and remembering our veterans on and around Veterans Day: “Best Vets” Movie Marathon — AMC, Nov. 11 at 6:15am. A day of classic military movies, including Battle of the Bulge (1965), To Hell and Back […]
