Lucky for fans of the show SouthLAnd, it has a new home on TNT, starting with the never-before-seen premiere of Season 2 on March 2nd. From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East Los Angeles, SouthLAnd is a fast paced drama that takes viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families.

If the SouthLAnd Facebook Fan page grows to 75,000 people by February 23rd, the stars will be doing a live chat with their fans on March 2nd!

Don’t miss Tuesday’s episode - the action is so real and gritty, it can only be on TNT. Watch Tuesday at 10/9c.

The Good Wife, new CBS drama

I am excited for the premiere of the new CBS show, The Good Wife. The new show stars Julianna Margulies and Chris Noth. Margulies plays a wife and mother who must assume full responsibility for her family and re-enter the workforce after her husband's very public sex scandal and political corruption lands him in jail.

Check out a clip.



I have always been a fan of Julianna Margulies from ER and who does love Mr. Big (Chris Noth). I have my DVR all set so that I don't miss it! You can catch it tonight (Tuesdays) also at 10 eastern/9 central.

Ready, Go, Play-Doh Contest!

With the colder weather upon us, soon we will have to find more activities that the girls can do inside. One thing that they love to do is playing with Play-Doh.

Embracing the idea of creating food, Play-Doh has created a "Ready, Go Play-Doh" contest where our kids can come up with their own Play-Doh "food" creations for a chance to win a makeover of both their playroom and their school's playroom. You can visit www.ReadyGoPlayDoh.com to enter by uploading a photo of your child's food-inspired Play-Doh creation along with the "recipe" to make it.

The grand prize winner of the "Ready, Go Play-Doh" contest will win $10,000: $5,000 for a playroom makeover as well as a $5,000 "Doh-nation" to their child's school. Contest entries will be accepted through September 30, 2009. On October 15, 2009, the ten finalists will be posted on ReadyGoPlayDoh.com and the public will vote on who receives the $10,000 prize! The website will also feature a gallery of entries, so even if you don't win, everyone can see your child's creation.

Head on over and check it out!!!
