That’s right, not just your best — your very best. On my Must List this week is MTV’s comedy sketch series Human Giant, the first season of which came out on DVD yesterday in all its random, violent, reliably juvenile glory. Even better: season 2 debuts this Tuesday, March 11, at 11 p.m. (Warning: trailer contains some NSFW language and very silly violence.)
Time to stop monkeying around (warning: see above) and tell us what’s a "must" for you right now. And please include your full name and email address in case your recommendation is the "reader’s choice" we decide to print on the next issue’s Must List page.
For inspiration, try running around town in a bright red tracksuit (maybe you’ll bump into Patton Oswalt, like the Giant boys do in the clip below). Let’s go!

Chuck: season one on DVD.
Oh wait it’s not on DVD yet.
Free Radio
Top Chef Chicago anticapation!
The “sweded” movies from “Be Kind Rewind”
SNL’s new episodes
http://www.goodreads.com
Away From Her, Eastern Promises, Days Of Darkness, Poor Boy’s Game, Shake Hands With the Devil- five great Canadian films that deserve a wider audience.
oh, and Slezak’s America’s Next Top Doll popwatch entries…
thecheappop.com is pretty damn hilarious and non-offensive like tmz
Tana French – In the Woods – published in 2007 – best psychological crime novel written in a long time. Set in Dublin – a must read. A girl is found murdered on an archaeological dig – recalling a disappearance of two children in 1984 – one of the trio survives and is now a detective on the Murder Squad that takes on this case along with his extraordinary partner.
Saturday night BBC America – starting with Torchwood. Holy wah. Captain Jack is the most intensely, fiercely passionate bi-sexual former time lord on TV. (OK he’s the only one but that’s just a technicality.) When Ianto opined that he and Jack’s “dabbling” was “inventive…bordering on avante garde” in last week’s ep my imagination went hay-WAYAH. Especially since my husband is deployed to Kuwait right now, and I’m a ’single’ mom to 3 kids, Saturday pm has become my time to be an adult and experience (vicariously) that kind of passion. Of course then I have to stay tuned for Graham Norton – that show invariably makes me laugh so hard I cry, which is also a welcome emotion at this point! I look forward to this all week long.
The cartoons of Garfield Minus Garfield.

Seriously, reading Garfield will never be the same.
Breaking Bad on AMC. Thanks to the writers strike for helping me find some alternative television.
Book – Blindfall by Christopher Rice.
Just picked it up. So far me likey, me likey a lot.
1. Reno 911!–still hilarious and improv-tastic 5 seasons (and 1 movie) in. Nick Swardson’s Terry is the awesomest rollerskating hustler EVER!
2. Awesome young adult novels and their upcoming film versions–Twilight (Stephenie Meyer) and Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (David Levithan and Rachel Cohn). I’ll be the first in line!
3. Saturday Night Live! Thanks to fantastic hosts like Tina Fey and Ellen Page, and hilarious cast members like Amy Poehler, Jason Sudeikis, and Kristin Wiig, and let’s not forget the great writing, the show is finally funny again. Thank blog!
http://www.100daysinbed.blogspot.com – Already mentioned in Defamer, It’s about a sitcom writer who figures out how to be funny after her cousin is murdered and her mom goes crazy. It’s hilarious
The only thing I can focus on right now is the Wire. Please god let Dukie be OK.
LOST!!!!! and my new obsessions 30 Rock and The Office
BullY: Special Edition for the Xbox 360 and Wii.
Finally available for Xbox 360, this “sandbox” style game allows for Grand Theft Auto style play in a school setting. A great game for fun seekers who don’t think a game needs a body count to be enjoyable.
I thought only I was the only one who knew about http://www.100daysinbed.blogspot.com/.Yeah, that blog rocks it hard. She tells the craziest stories about the business, her family and her fat ass (her words).
Also, I nominate new America’s Next Top Model & Top Chef. I love you Tyra (even if you are madly photoshopped on the bus I just saw.)
1. Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii. I can’t remember how long I’ve had this on reserve for but hopefully, it will be coming out on the 9th (unless they push it back…again) and I’m hoping it will be worth the wait.
2. “Remember Me” by Sophie Kinsella – I read this in about 4 hours as I just couldn’t put it down.
100 Days in Bed is absolutely HILARIOUS. This writer should have her own sitcom on television. She says everything you have felt or are currently feeling but are afraid to admit. Bravo…..Keep it coming!!!!!
i’m am with the http://www.100daysinbed.blogspot.com/ fans. it’s my daily dose of delight
and it gets my nomination.
TV: The New Adventures of Old Christine
Movies: Pineapple Express & Baby Mama trailer
Music: Mariah Carey & 30 Rock’s Kenneth in “Touch my Body” video
oh and i forgot the book Twilight. I haven’t read it yet, but Hannah Montana’s sidekick, Whoopi Goldberg, the intern next to me, and the people who have optioned it for a movie are in love with that book…so i guess it’s a must.

1) Henry Ian Cusick aka Desmond from Lost(terrific episode, The Constant)
2) Slezak’s America’s Next Top Doll popwatch entries
3) SNL’s new episodes
SOME OTHER LOST SCREENS – who made this blog…and why? I cannot stop looking. Also – Jack’s tears are my constant.
http://someotherlostscreens.blogspot.com/
The final two eps of TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. Especially that scene cut to Johnny Cash. Will this show “get Foxed”? Hope not!
OMG…Simon Tofield, the creator of “Wake Up Cat,” has made a sequel: “Let Me In”…So cuuuuuute!
From Erica B. in NY, NY (blitzed_ink at yahoo dot com)
Virgania Horsen’s Hot Air Balloon Rides, quite possibly the best SNL sketch there will be all year. Kristen Wiig is this year’s MVP.
Sadly, the video’s only posted on Defamer at the moment, but I’m hoping nbc.com uploads it soon.
– “Amazing Spider-Man” – This month’s arc features the writing of Bob Gale (“Back to the Future”) and the art of Phil Jimenez.
– “101 Dalmatians” Platinum Edition DVD – An old favorite finally resurfaces. But sadly no Blu-Ray release
– “Kick-Ass” – Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s mature read for Marvel’s Icon imprint is one of the most entertaining reads of the new year.
The only thing I can’t get out of my head is a certain CD. Jane Vane and the Dark Matter – Love is Where the Smoke Is. Now, you are probably thinking that its all “dark” music and heavy rockish stuff, but believe me, it is so serene and beautiful. The lyrics are fantastic and the songs are fantastic.
I forgot to add a their myspace page so you can hear it. They have two of my favourite songs on their – We Must Destroy and Ships Bound to Sink. Have a listen!
Brett Dennen. Touring this summer with John Mayer. Plus, how many red-headed musicians can you name?
