From Turtle on Entourage to Thirteen on House, Buzz rounded up some of her favorite nicknamed TV characters. (BuzzSugar)

A hodge podge of stuff ranging on how to win an autograph DVD of Chuck Season One, to a promo for 25 Days of Christmas, and where to find cheap TV DVD’s for those on your Christmas list you don’t want to spend a lot on but you want them to think you spent a lot on them. (Scooter McGavin’s 9th Green)

Vance loves Bobby Cannavale but isn’t quite sure if he’ll make a good Cupid yet after seeing the preview. (Tapeworthy)

This week, Jace took an advance look at the Doctor Who: Complete Series Four DVD which came out earlier this week and offered an early look at a potential ABC midseason schedule. (Televisionary)

Heather had a longish chat with 24: Redemption’s Robert Carlyle and, incredibly, managed to avoid once mentioning Hamish Macbeth! (TV Spy)

If I had kids, I’d want them to watch these shows:

Yo Gabba Gabba

I know I’m late to the Yo Gabba Gabba party, so I wouldn’t talk about it much. I’ll just add my voice to the chorus of people who say it’s less irritating than 90% of the children’s shows out there and has pretty good songs, and it’s more fun than you’d think to watch the costumed characters try to pick up blocks, since some of them clearly don’t have use of their arms. (Sorry, green thing.) If you don’t believe me, check out Elijah Wood’s “dancey dance,” ominously titled “The Puppetmaster.” Like the rest of Elijah Wood, it’s kinda cute and kinda creepy. Just try to watch this video all the way through WITHOUT joining in.

Smart Girls at the Party

Amy Poehler, Meredith Walker, and Amy Miles somehow succeed in making a web series that’s meant to boost the self-esteem of pre-teen girls, and does so without being self-righteous or boring. Amy starts the first episode on the right foot: “Hear that? It’s the sound of something awesome.” Basically, they just show girls having fun, doing what they’re passionate about. At first, Amy has kind of a funny James Lipton thing going on, but she doesn’t talk down to the girls she’s featuring on the show. I read somewhere that she wanted to do the series so that young girls wouldn’t all feel pressure to become Pussycat Dolls when they grow up. Once she said that, I kinda wished there was something like this out there for people my age.

In contrast with last week’s Paul Rudd installment, I can’t say my expectations for the Tim McGraw episode of SNL were particularly high. I’ll just put it out there: I’m prejudiced against mainstream country singers. It’s cool; they do fine without me. Even more confusingly, McGraw wasn’t pulling double duty; past host Ludacris was the musical guest. Why the hell couldn’t Ludacris just host again?
