More 'People's Choice Awards' Nominees; Shout! Factory to Release Short Lived Sitcom 'Men Behaving Badly' & the CBS 1955 'Johnny Carson Show' on DVD

Queen Latifah will host The 33rd Annual People's Choice Awards, to be broadcast live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, Tuesday, Jan. 9 (9:00-11:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The second round of nominees have now been announced, and here is the television portion:
FAVORITE NEW TV COMEDY
30 Rock (NBC)
The Class (CBS)
'Til Death (Fox)

FAVORITE NEW TV DRAMA
Brothers & Sisters (ABC)
Heroes (NBC)
Ugly Betty (ABC)

Ugly Betty should be in the comedy portion really. 'Til Death doesn't deserve to be there. So, I'd add Men in Trees in Favorite New TV Drama.
We gave you the first round of nominees earlier this month. Click here to view those, if you missed that.

We have some DVD news for you! The short lived 1996-97 NBC sitcom Men Behaving Badly starring Rob Schneider will be coming to DVD on Feb. 13 from the Shout! Factory. The sitcom was based on a British show. Justine Bateman (Family Ties) also appears on this sitcom. Click here for more info on the series and the set.
And Shout! Factory will release The Johnny Carson Show on DVD...no, not The Tonight Show, but the short lived CBS 1955 series. Click here for more info on the series and the set, which includes special features like an episode of his ABC game show Who Do You Trust?

We will be back with more news, if any, since it is still early in the day. And tomorrow come join us as we give you the details for TV One's holiday programming and a new sitcom that will be joining their line-up in January...come on back!

The Dick Van Dyke Show - Now in Living Color! - (CBS, 8:00PM ET/PT) (Repeat)
CBS will honor the memory of legendary actor, producer, director, writer, comedian and Emmy Award winner Carl Reiner with THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW – NOW IN LIVING COLOR! A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO CARL REINER, featuring two colorized back-to-back classic episodes of the beloved 1960s series, Friday, July 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. As series creator and co-star, Carl Reiner personally supervised the original colorization of the episodes.

The special features “Coast to Coast Big Mouth,” which ranked #8 on TV Guide’s list of the “100 Greatest TV Episodes of All-Time,” and “October Eve,” which Mr. Reiner considered to be one of the series’ funniest episodes. Both were written by Bill Persky and Sam Denoff.

In “Coast to Coast Big Mouth,” Laura Petrie blurts out a top secret on a national television quiz show, revealing that comedian Alan Brady wears a toupee. The episode, which was the show’s fifth and final season premiere, was originally broadcast on Sept. 15, 1965. “Coast to Coast Big Mouth” won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series in 1966.

In “October Eve,” a painting of Laura returns to haunt her when, despite her having posed fully clothed, the artist (played by Carl Reiner) takes the liberty of “undraping” her. The episode was first presented on April 8, 1964, during season three.
