Hey, everyone. It's new release Tuesday again, with another fairly spare offering of comedy releases. My favorite release today is the new volume of Three Stooges shorts. Even though we're past the Curly years, it's important to keep buying these sets so that Sony continues putting them out until every Stooges short has been released (and, yes, I realize this involves sitting through the Joe Besser years). The studio really does a nice job with them. CD Rodney Carrington - El Nino Loco DVD The Three Stooges Vol. 6: 1949-1951 What's Up, Tiger Lily?

It was a pretty big dog, a rottweiler-doberman mix, a hundred pounds, and in the six years since Rolf had been living with him the dog had never limped and had never just stopped walking either. He'd been with him in the mountains and by the sea, took long walks with him every day, and the dog's long ears moved up and down when he ran.'Piet,' said Rolf, 'what's up with you, boy, you're not that old yet.' Piet stood in the middle of the sidewalk, his back legs far apart; he stood there as if straddling something, looking at him with his dark eyes. He pulled on the leash but the dog didn't move. He squatted down in front of him and stroked his head

Seasons 19 and 20 of Survivor will be filmed back to back--instead of taking a three-month break in between them--and the reason is entirely about saving money, Jeff Probst told me. 'This season we're also doing back-to-back seasons because of budget cuts, and that's just the truth. We are having to do two seasons to save money, because every television show is undergoing some sort of a cut,' Probst said. 'And I think that's going to be hard on people. It's a long time to be away from home. We're gone nearly four months. Six weeks was one thing; 14 weeks is another,' he said. To me, getting two seasons out of the way and having a year-long break seemed like it might be easier, but Jeff said I was mistaken, and to explain why, launched into his Mark Burnett impression, complete with a British accent. 'That's what Mark Burnett would say. Mark Burnett would say, 'Jeff, oh oh oh I've got a brilliant idea. I'm going to do this for you. We're actually going to shoot both seasons back to ba
