I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you enjoy the time with your friends and family over this long holiday weekend.
Please know that while I am obviously observing the holiday, the news waits for no man or woman, which means I will be posting occasionally over the weekend, bringing ratings results as they are released, daily news items as I discover them and any other tidbits that come along over the next 4 days.
Please stay tuned and I hope you will visit as often as you can over the holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

It’s December 1 and that means the big countdown to Christmas has started. You have 24 shopping days left to get just the right gift for your friends, family, co-workers, et al.
With that thought in mind, I wanted to provide a list of just a few cool online resources where geeks go to shop. Take a look at what these locations have available, as you just might find some cool, unique gifts for the upcoming holiday.
Enjoy!
Nextag provides electronics, jewelry, art supplies, computers, home and garden supplies, clothing and accessories and much more. The best part of their site is searching for TV related items for shows like Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, Glee, Once Upon a Time and even 80’s classic MacGyver. Check it out here.
The folks over at Ript Apparel have cool graphic tees and cheap limited edition t-shirts available for all kinds of genres. You can purchase their special daily t-shirts or visit their “Graveyard” section that features over 40 pages of unique t-shirts. You can visit them here.
Do you know someone who loves superheroes? Well, the Superhero Stuff is the perfect place to shop for them. You can get your hands on t-shirts, hats, hoodies, buckles, jewelry, figurines and much more. They can be found here.
The product line over at Her Universe just increased recently, adding to its collection new items honoring the TV shows Warehouse 13, Eureka and Battlestar Galactica as well as adding to its Star Wars collection. To find just the right fashionable apparel for the female sci-fi/genre fan, visit them here.
Lastly, for all you Doctor Who fans of the female persuasion (or for you guys who want to make your fellow lady Doctor Who fans happy), check out this cool book: “Chicks Dig Time Lords: A Celebration of Doctor Who by the Women Who Love It”
Here is the official description of the book: “A host of award-winning female novelists, academics and actresses come together to celebrate the phenomenon that is Doctor Who, discuss their inventive involvement with the show’s fandom and examine why they adore the series. These essays will delight male and female readers alike by delving into the extraordinary aspects of being a female Doctor Who enthusiast. Essays include Carole Barrowman discussing what it was like to grow up with her brother John (including the fact that he’s still afraid of shop-window dummies), columnist Jackie Jenkins providing a Bridget Jones’ Diary-style memoir of working on Doctor Who Magazine, novelist Lloyd Rose analyzing Rose’s changes between the ninth and tenth Doctors and much more. Other contributors include Elizabeth Bear (Jenny Casey), Lisa Bowerman (Bernice Summerfield), Mary Robinette Kowal (Shades of Milk and Honey), Jody Lynn Nye (Mythology series), Kate Orman (Seeing I), and Catherynne M. Valente (The Orphan’s Tales). Also featured is a comic from the Torchwood Babiez creators, plus interviews with Doctor Who companions India Fisher (Charley) and Sophie Aldred (Ace).”
You can find the book at Amazon here.
Happy Shopping!
