Still looking for that reasonably perfect gift for your favorite TV watcher(s)? Now more than ever, various networks have on-line stores at your disposal. Let's look at some of their more intriguing or offbeat offerings, with an emphasis on bargains. A shapely pink True Blood "Fangtasia" t-shirt (pictured on the rght) is one of the current bestsellers at your friendly HBO Store.

The Best Christmas Adverts Ever!

Unfortunately Christmas is now over and tomorrow a new year shall start. But before that, let's take a look at the adverts that make us feel christmassy and get excited for December 25 2011. This is without a doubt my favourite Christmas advert of all time. You know it's Christmas when this comes on the TV. The 2010 Coca Cola advert just didn't meet my expectations.

Does the appearance of a shop assistant in a novelty, garishly coloured, impractical hat fill you with a sense of loathing and the temptation to engage in a selection of activities involving an angle-grinder and hammer commonly referred to as vandalism? For those of us who felt that the character Ebenezer Scrooge became less likable through the progression of A Christmas Carol, this is unquestionably the worst time of year. If you're beginning to resent the… read more »
