MUSGO'S TOP 100 FEATURE OF THE WEEK:
No. 10 - Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (TNT) (FRI) I don't have my exact final list of Top 100 movies yet - but I don't know if there will be a movie from the 2000's that will finish higher than this Peter Jackson masterpiece. The best of the trilogy only because it continually exceeded my expectations at every step. There's not enough room here to go into everything that makes this movie so wonderful, but a few things are the Balrog, the Ringwraiths, the Shire, Merry and Pippin, and Christopher Lee as Saruman. I can picture watching this film on a yearly basis for most of the rest of my life and my kids and their kids doing the same.


SUNDAY
Holiday In Handcuffs (FAM) 1. If this wasn't on FAM, I'd expect quite a different film with a title like that. 2. This stars Melissa Joan Hart, Mario Lopez, June Lockhart and Markie Post. Can you just imagine the "Random Former TV Stars Cast Generator" that got involved here? I imagine it more of a wheel than computer generator. Maybe a wheel like The Price Is Right. "This movie will star Jeannie Garth (click), nope it just landed on Sabrina the Teenage Witch".

Spike TV's Video Game Awards 2007 (SPIKE) Or as it's known around here: Musgo's Xmas shopping list.

MONDAY
Anthony Bourdain's Holiday Special (TRAVEL) Need something not so treacly sweet for the holidays? Here's a guy that likes his eats and drinks, not necessarily in that order, enjoying the holidays.

I Want A Dog For Christmas, Charlie Brown (ABC) If Charlie Brown's name wasn't on this, your expectations would be lowered and you'd find this to be an entertaining piece from 2003. You mainly get Linus and Lucy's younger brother, Rerun and Snoopy. It's not bad, but don't expect the classic with the little tree.

TUESDAY
Life On Mars (BBC) The second season starts and Sam is still in 1973. The first season of this is a must-see and will probably make a much better US adaptation than Viva Blackpool did.

Shrek The Halls (ABC) If you missed it the first time around, here it comes again. It's actually pretty entertaining with some jokes for the whole family. It's destined to be something that hits my Tivo every season.

WEDNESDAY
Kitchen Nightmares (FOX) Gordon raps up this season. I know there are some fans of his out there - how was this series compared to the Hell's Kitchen show? I did turn over a few times just to here Gordon go insane and yell his head off.
