Moms and dads need entertainment and these posts, for one reason or another will do just that
Love & Mercy is the story from Brian Wilson’s perspective about his life-specifically the time in the mid 60’s. They were ruling the pop charts with surf songs, but Wilson wanted and needed to do more creatively. The film also takes place in the mid 80’s, when Wilson was somewhat of a broken soul who hears voices and is under the strict control of a very domineering doctor Landry.

Hey there, we’re part of the StreamTeam for Netflix and received product for this post. All thoughts are our own and these shows really do rock. Our children are 4 and 6. Sometimes they watch television for relaxation and sometimes it’s done because I need them to sit and be quiet for a predetermined amount of time while I make dinner, finish a phone call or simply need a buffer for a moment. These are 9 of the children’s television shows on Netflix that we use as our go-to when we need that moment of zen.
These don’t include the obvious choices like The Clone Wars, Mighty Machines, Phineas and Ferb and Curious George. We’ll also try not to include television shows that we’ve previously highlighted, because variety is the spice of life, isn’t it?

The game. It could be the game for the college that you never graduated from, your adopted school, alma matter or you live in an area that is rampant with Saturday or Sunday afternoon anthropomorphic neighbors on the way to the stadium. Maybe it’s an ice rink or a dusty track in the country where horses with clever names do their best Jeff Gordon impression. Homegating can solve your woes. It’s about staying at home, entertaining with great food and the best tech that can put you right into the game. HH Gregg is giving away $5,000 to make your fan cave complete, so that you can homegate with the best of them.

Anime fans in the United States have had to wait to watch Digimon Fusion on DVD. The series airs in English on NickToons and the second season is on the air now. Granted Digimon Fusion has been available on video, but it’s been the Japanese export and unless your Japanese was very good you weren’t able to understand most of it. Digimon Season 1, Volume 1 is now available on a 3 disc collection with 330 minutes of digital creatures and teen heroes.

Happy new comic book day! Brace yourself for a brand new Snoopy graphic novel-Where Beagles Dare is a full length story, akin to the classic ones that they turned into half hour television specials. The conclusion of Princeless Be Yourself, Over the Garden Wall #2 is great fantasy, Sonic Universe #80 and more come out this week.
A new mini-series in line with Wild’s End comes out too. Wild’s End Enemy Within #1 (of 4) is a unique melding of WWII and wild farm critters like toads, mice and such. The art that we’ve seen is really amazing and we’ll be giving this book a review later this week.

Can you smell what it is that you’re cooking? To paraphrase The Rock, that is one of the most important reasons why homegating was preferred over physically going to the game. Homegating is staying at home and watching the game. HH Gregg, a large retailer of electronics, appliances and furniture conducted a study on tailgating vs. homegating. 70% of people said that they’d rather homegate, instead of physically going to the game. No place can take over for the sheer experience of a stadium; however, your big screen television, home grilled food, creature comforts and the money that you saved on tickets make a compelling argument to get on the homegating bandwagon to say at home in your fan cave.

We have a young Transformers Robots In Disguise fan in our house. The television show is great for kids, surprisingly good for adults and a great entry point into characters that they love to play with. We have a couple Bumblebee toys. However we have nothing close to the scale of the new Transformers Robots In Disguise Super Bumblebee.

Renee & Friends’ Simpatico is a compilation between singer Renee Stahl and lots of other folks. They include Colin Hay, Glen Phillips from Toad the Wet Sprocket, Maya Rudolph, Molly Shannon and many others. This release is intended to be a bridge between the time when kids are exclusively listening to lullabies and then start listening to songs with more structure. It does have a lush, relaxed sound throughout the release. However, it’s too relaxed and is more at home in a coffee house where naps are encouraged than as a kindie release.
