Halie Auditions For Christmas Idol

I've been saving this one for almost a year. Finally-- it can be unveiled!

Community's Alison Brie plays Halie, a contestant on Christmas Idol:



Damn... No-- da-yam!

"I don't think I should stand."  Classic...

Premieres and Notables: December 27-31, 2010 and January 1-2, 2011

As usual around this time of the year, it's pretty light.
But I'm sure next week will ramp things up as recent history has shown (used to be January was pretty sparse for debuts; not anymore).


Wednesday, 12/29

I Swear: The History of Dirty Words; History.  8 pm CST. Special.
Could be interesting...


Saturday, 1/1

Primeval; BBC America. 8 pm CST. 4th Season Premiere.


Sunday, 1/2

Worst Cooks in America; Food Network. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.

Nicolas Cage Movie Montage

Titled "Nic Cages Losing His Shit".
Perfectly describes this 4+ minutes.

.

Premieres and Notables; December 20-26, 2010

Monday, 12/20

Million Dollar Money Drop; Fox. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Some sort of game show where up to a million dollars could drop through a hole (don't know if that's good or bad for the contestants).


Wednesday, 12/22

Psych (USA; 9 pm, CST). Season Finale.
I don't lnow how accurate calling it a "finale" is. This show has one of the trickiest schedules I've seen. Three new eps, disappears for a month, comes back with a special episode, and then nothing for three weeks, and then six new eps and then gone for three months... [No, I'm not using actual data for what I wrote; just saying how frustrating it is to try to record-- or watch-- new episodes of this show without a DVR...]


Friday, 12/24

The annual 24-hour airing of A Christmas Story begins at 7 pm CST on TBS.


Saturday, 12/25

NBC reairs the stop-motion animated holiday episode of Community at 7 pm CST.  Great stuff-- especially to people familiar with the show as it nails the characters pretty well.

The Haunting Hour; The Hub. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Because nothing says "Christmas" quite like a series based on R.L. Stein's tween-friendly horror books...

Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol; BBC America. 8 pm CST. Special.
I can't recall if the Doctor Who Christmas specials have ever debuted in America alongside their British debuts, but this is pretty cool.  The specials are always great single-story adventures, and it'll be fun to see Matt Smith get his turn at one.
This one's based on the classic Charles Dickens tale mentioned in the title.
Starring Michael Gambon-- Michael Gambon-- as a Scrooge-like fellow.
