Take 2. Recovering nicely, they touch on the events of September 11; Michelle's flick swap throws her into the world of ROBOCOP and the amazing acting prowess of Peter Weller's mouth; Flashback to the 1960s and explore Barbara Stanwyck, Lee Majors, and Linda Evans in THE BIG VALLEY, a unique TV family sans patriarch; Kent steels himself for next week's flick swap assignment -- SELENA -- ((insert dramatic music here)); and the studio Beagle returns. Enjoy!

This week's Flick Swap is Maid in Manhattan and Kent gets swept up by the sizzle between JLo and Ralph Fiennes. You can bet there will be many more Chick Flicks on the way. Lucky guy. On the PBS Kids front, Kent calls on the expert testimony of son Connor to assist with reviews of Caillou's Playschool Adventures and Jay Jay's Wing Wigglin' Mystery, while Michelle warns of the potential creepy factor Jay Jay presents for adults. It's a show that'll make you wish you had a Special K. Enjoy!

And don't forget to check out Kent's written review of Grey's Anatomy: Season Three.

To pass the time, this swingin' bachelor dives head first into their new Flick Swap segment by sharing his first experience with Dirty Dancing, his review of The Simpsons Movie, binging on George Romero and Michael Bay films, being harassed by inconsiderate movie goers, and a fond recollection of Canadian tornadoes. Now that's a full show. Enjoy!
