Show Biz: Monday 11/24/08

*** Ahhh, there's nothing like Thanksgiving week: Food, football, and good samaritans coming to the aid of innocent victims by whacking carjackers with frozen turkeys.

Those wacky North Carolinans.

According to the AP, "Police said 30-year-old Fred Louis Ervin of Raleigh stole money from a Garner BP gas station before running across the street to a Harris Teeter in Fuquay-Varina. There, he began beating Irene Moorman Bailey while trying to take her car. Other shoppers came to the woman's rescue, including one who hit Ervin with a frozen turkey."

Tis the season.

Could frozen turkey beatings become one of your new Thanksgiving traditions? Don't forget to vote on whatever tradition is currently your favorite on our poll question to the right.


*** We're days away from getting you official information regarding our WJDK $500 Holiday Shopping Spree.

Things will be pretty much the same as in year's past, except this time around, it will be in-store registrations that get you qualified, not mailed postcards.

As always, keep it tuned for all of the latest. Promos start Wednesday.


*** After reading this week's Neilsen numbers, it struck me that I hardly watch any of the shows that consistently crack the top 10.

I don't watch Dancing With The Stars, or CSI, or NCIS, or PB&J, or ASAP, or pretty much any other show using just initials - or SUJI's as I call them.

Here's what I try to watch each week: Dexter, True Blood, 24, Family Guy, Heroes, The Shield, Friday Night Lights, The Office, 30 Rock, The Office, Survivor, and The Amazing Race.
When they're in season, I also like Scrubs, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Rescue Me, Mad Men, and Real Time with Bill Maher.

Of course, with two young kids in the house, it's difficult keeping up with these shows. Although I think I'm all caught up on Dora, Barney, Jack's Music Show, Hannah Montana, The Wizards Of Waverly Place, and Cory in the House.

I need to get out more.
