As Grrl TV mentioned previously, ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager returns on January 5 with the midseason premiere “The Secret Wedding of the American Teenager,” one of twelve episodes remaining in the show’s freshman season.
Viewers can play catch-up before then, however, when the first eleven episodes are released on DVD this Tuesday, December 30.
Don’t be fooled by the packaging, though: while advertising claims the set is Season One, it’s actually just the initial eleven episodes that already aired on television last summer.
For the list price of $39.99 — and, of course, the 3-disc set will be …read more

If you loved CBS’ hedonistic ’70s drama Swingtown from earlier this fall, good news: the show’s thirteen-episode first season comes out on DVD today.
Even better — if you’re still holding on to a sliver of hope that the series might return for a sophomore run — is the fact that the network hasn’t officially canceled it … yet. Word is that execs have a special love for the show, probably because the many baby boomers among them were coming into their own somewhere around that decade.
The DVD set looks good, too, despite studio Paramount’s ridiculous list price of $40.99 …read more

I know some of us are still reeling over the “death” of Jim on Ghost Whisperer, but I have a great treat for fans of Jennifer Love Hewitt and her popular paranormal series to make up for a bit of that pain. Courtesy of publisher Titan Books, Grrl TV is giving away five copies of the recently published series companion titled Ghost Whisperer Spirit Guide.
Inspired by the work of real-life mediums, Ghost Whisperer is the sometimes chilling, sometimes heart-rending hit drama series from ABC Studios and CBS Paramount Network Television. Now, Titan Books is giving fans the chance …read more

Kath & Kim is on the way!
NBC’s latest sitcom, an adaptation of the Australian hit, arrives Thursday night, October 9, at 8:30 pm EST, with Saturday Night Live veteran Molly Shannon starring as the title mother figure Kath and Hellboy’s Selma Blair as her daughter Kim.
NBC describes the series as the adventures of “the hilarious and iconoclastic mother-daughter duo — Kath, a cheerful, foxy, forty-something, and her self-absorbed daughter, Kim — who have the love/hate, push/pull dysfunctional relationship that only a mother and daughter could share.”
Grrl TV is helping to roll out the welcome mat for the series stateside and …read more

Quick Note: If you’re a Private Practice fan and were hoping the Season One DVDs would include the two-part backdoor pilot “The Other Side of This Life” that launched the series at the end of Grey’s Anatomy’s third season, you’re out of luck. For whatever reason, those episodes aren’t included, despite a strike-shortened freshman season of just nine puny installments. Studios can be so darn cheap!
