Premieres and Marathons, 12/26-12/31

Sorry I'm late this week, but I already posted about the Venture Brothers marathon last night as well as the Boondocks marathon tonight. Cartoon Network's [adult swim] keeps it going the rest of the week as well.

Wednesday, 12/27

When Parents Are Deployed; PBS. 8:00 pm-8:30 pm CST. Special
Cuba Gooding Jr. hosts this Sesame Workshop show for the 700,000 children under the age of 5 who have parents who are away from home this Holiday Season.

Bio Live; Biography Channel. 7:00 pm CST. Series Premiere.
New profile series placing artists in front of a studio audience. Lee Ann Womack is the guest in the premiere.

Robot Chicken; Cartoon Network [adult swim]. 9:30 pm- 4:30 am CST.
A thirty episode marathon of the insane stop-motion toy series. Your mind will melt if you watch it all at once, but in two or three 15-minute episode blocks at a time, you should be okay. Hilarious at times; horrifying at times-- you'll never look at toys the same way again. Creator Seth Green voices many characters, and he enlists friends such as Sarah Michelle Gellar, Scarlett Johansson, Donald Faison, and Ashton Kutcher to lend their voices as well.

Funniest Commercials of the Year; TBS. 8:00 pm. Special.
Just what it sounds like...
