Tonight on The Cleveland Show, Cleveland celebrates his first Thanksgiving with his new family, including his own parents Cookie and Freight Train as well as Donna's Auntie Momma who all make a surprise visit to shake things up in Stoolbend.

The Simpsons Character Contest Winner

2009-11-20T11:49:00Z

The votes are in and Peggy Black of Orange, CT has been selected by The Simpsons producers as the winner of The Simpsons Character Contest. Black created the character Ricardo Bomba (nicknamed "La Bomba"), a smooth-talking ladies' man from South America with a luxurious black mane, a chiseled physique and a voice as smooth as silk. By day, Ricardo works as a safety inspector at the nuclear power plant, and by night, he works Springfield's singles scene - melting women's hearts all over town. As the grand prize winner, Black won a trip to Los Angeles where she met with Simpsons producers and animators and worked with the team to bring Ricardo Bomba to life. Ricardo Bomba will make his small-screen debut in the "Million Dollar Maybe" episode of The Simpsons airing Sunday, January 31 at 8:00 p.m. on Fox.

Things at the water park are not what they seem. The boys' fun-filled day is about to turn deadly. Events are in play at Splash Town that signal the end of the world is upon us. Cartman tries to warn everyone, but no one will listen. Disaster is about to strike and the boys are in a race to survive. Based on the title of the episode, "Pee," I can imagine what the disaster may be. Ew. Watch the South Park season finale tonight on Comedy Central at 10:00 p.m. ET.

Truth or Square Turns Out Well-Rounded

2009-11-14T14:22:07Z

I had doubts that the recent Truth or Square special of SpongeBob SquarePants would be funny or clever. I was quite wrong. There's a reason the special drew 7.7 million total viewers, ranking as basic cable's number-one entertainment show for the week. Silly dialogue and songs were abundant, and the plot was reasonable. As I had suspected, and hoped, SpongeBob's marriage to Sandy had little to do with anything that happened. Besides SpongeBob decorating the Krusty Krab with toilet paper and mustard, the best part of the episode was the stop-motion animated opening sequence. My kids and I were mesmerized. What did you think? Check out clips at Nick.com.
