The NEW GIRL GUIDE TO NAKED ANIMALS. (There’s a word for that.)

FOX’s TV show NEW GIRL has become one of this season’s more entertaining programs.

While it started slow, with an unnecessary emphasis on the adorkable Zooey Deschanel, it has grown into itself as the audience (and show writers) have gotten to know all the other characters that inhabit Jess’ 30-year-old life.

One recent episode had Jess wondering how to describe what she saw, when she saw one of her roommates’ friends urinating in their shared, co-ed bathroom.

Who is Jeff Probst’s Biggest Fan?

There are fans of the TV show SURVIVOR – like Web Watch and others we know, who enjoy the adventure and gameplay that Jeff Probst and Mark Burnett bring to our television screens each week (along with the hysterical ignorance of every contestant to Jeff’s constant advice to always be looking towards the end-game in determining how to best strategize your way to a $1 million dollar grand prize).

And there are Super Fans, folks who study every aspect of the show – who train themselves on show trivia and gaming techniques in the hopes that they too will be picked by the shows’ casting directors and added to the list of hundreds of Survivor contestants who have pushed themselves to the limits (both mental and physical) to claim the title of Ultimate Survivor.

Top 10 Most Successful Celebrity Chefs

Celebrity Chefs are a unique entity, unlike any other profession.  

Where fans can watch a professional sports event (football, golf, tennis), we know that we can never be as good as they are in their particular field of play.  We’ll play those sports for fun, with the full realization that we would never be able to do anything even close to what those folks are able to pull off on a regular basis.

But celebrity chefs?  They’re just cooking.  We can cook, too.

It doesn’t take that much skill to grill a steak to perfection – Web Watch does this all the time, and our steaks come out absolutely fantastic.

Restaurant-quality, if we do say so ourselves.

Granted, we need to pay a little more for some higher-quality ingredients on occasion to really pull off some incredible meals, but that’s a choice that we consciously make.  In any case, the average home cook does have the exact same tools available to them as the Celebrity Chef does, so in some ways it really is an even playing field here.

Will Apple Buy TiVo?

As long-time Web Watch readers know, we’ve been a huge fan and support of TiVo over the years.  We’re all set to pony up and buy the Tivo Premiere Elitewith 4 tuners and 2TB worth of recording space, once TiVo and the cable companies work out their On Demand issues.

But that was all before all the APPLE TV rumors started to crop up again this week.

And if these rumors about what 2012 will bring in terms of an Apple living room experience, we may need to reevaluate our decision to invest in another TiVo, no matter how much it pains us to consider this as an option.

So let’s dive into what the rumors are, as well as present our own wish list of what the ultimate APPLE TV experience should be, after the break.

The 25 Most Repeated SNL Characters

Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live
Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live

We all watch Saturday Night Live faithfully every week because it’s still the best place to find topical comedy and energizing live performances of the latest artist-of-the-week.  (To be honest, TiVo is our friend here, as Sunday morning sprinting is about all SNL usually deserves these days).

And yes, we’re regularly disappointed with the content taken on the whole.  Digital Shorts should be funny week-in, week-out… but they’ve been more hit-or-miss these days.

A Peanuts Holiday Collection

It’s that most wonderful time of the year, where CBS (and Fox, it seems this year) roll out their perennial ratings grabbers, the Charlie Brown specials.

But, thanks to some fancy editing, we bet you’ve never seen Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and the gang like this:
