"Drop Dead Diva" DVD and Party Pack Giveaway

Get ready to unleash your inner diva!

Drop Dead Diva is coming back to Lifetime with all new episodes.

Don’t miss Paula Abdul guest-starring in the Season 2 premiere – airing Sunday, June 6 at 9/8c on Lifetime.

Drop Dead Diva follows a beautiful-but-vapid model wannabe, Deb, who finds herself relegated to the body of a plus-size attorney, Jane (Brooke Elliott), following their deaths. 

While the placement was accidental, it just might be divine intervention if it can help self-centered Deb learn to use her brain, rather than her looks to get by in life - with a little help from her loyal assistant Teri Lee (Margaret Cho).

The series will be widely released on DVD beginning Tuesday, June 1st, but the folks at Lifetime are sponsoring a “How to Host a Party like a Diva” giveaway that includes the DVD and a bunch of goodies in the prize pack!

The “Host a Party like a Diva” Prize Pack Includes:

My Review of the 2nd Season Premiere of "Drop Dead Diva"

"Bridezillas" Review and $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway

This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and WE tv.

The WE reality TV show, "Bridezillas" returns on June 6th for a new season of wedding drama.  I've gotten a sneak peak at the premiere episode and I'm here with a review. Then at the end of this post I'll tell you how to win a $100 Visa gift card.

But first the return of "Bridezillas."  If you loved the show before, you'll still love it.  In the premiere we're introduced to Martina and Natalie.  Martina is a bride from Memphis who sees nothing wrong with being 3 hours late to her own bridal shower, or asking if the family of one of her bridesmaids can move the funeral of a favorite aunt so it'll free up the bridesmaid for Martina's wedding.

Natalie is less a bride-to-be than a runaway bride-to-be.  She's canceled one wedding already due to cold feet and while planning her latest nuptials she "jokes" about wearing running shoes instead of heels as she walks down the aisle.  Will she make it?  You'll have to tune in to see.

This year, WE will be pairing up "Bridezillas" with "My Fair Wedding" with David Tutera to create the Ultimate Wedding Sunday.  "My Fair Wedding" has wedding planner David Tutera doing wedding makeovers for couple's whose wedding plans don't quite come together as well as they'd like.  

New seasons of both shows will begin on June 6th at 9pm/8c.  You can find out more about WE's Ultimate Wedding Sunday at the the "Bridezilla's" official website  and the "My Fair Wedding"official website.

"Fawlty Towers" DVD Review and Giveaway

I'm kind of picky when it comes to comedy, but I'm a real sucker for classic British comedies.

One of my favorites is "Fawlty Towers" starring John Cleese, Prunella Scales, Andrew Sachs and Connie Booth.

Basil Fawlty is the wacky owner of a modest seaside hotel in Torquay, England.  Also in residence are his wife Sybil, his crazy Spanish bellman Manuel and Polly, the hotel's maid.

In honor of the show's 30th anniversary, BBC Video has put together a 3-disc remastered set of the series, complete with commentary by John Cleese and interviews with John Cleese, Prunella Scales and Andrew Sachs.

I was kind of suspicious of how the show would hold up since I haven't seen it in years, but I was happy to see that the show generates just as many laughs over Basil's nuttiness and the goings on in Torquay, as they did when I saw them originally as a kid.

The show's a farce that has Basil and the gang dealing with wacky guests, surprise inspections and Basil's own ability to get himself into trouble.  It can be bawdy and politically incorrect, but that's all part of the fun.

If you're a fan of the show and seen the episodes over and over, you'll especially enjoy the commentary by John Cleese and the interviews with the cast.

With the holidays around the corner, if you're looking for the perfect gift for someone who's a Britcom fan, or someone who's a John Cleese fan, you can't go wrong with this DVD set.

The folks at BBC Video were nice enough to send along a DVD for me to review and I'm now going to pass that DVD along to you.  Leave a comment about your favorite TV comedies--they don't have to be British--in the comments below and you'll be entered into a drawing to win my review copy of the 3-disc DVD.

You have until December 8th, 5 PM EST to comment.

On December 9th, I'll do a random drawing and then announce the winner.

By the way, John Cleese will be on Conan O'Brien tonight at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.

"Dollhouse" Season One Blu-ray DVD Giveaway

All you "Dollhouse" fans might be going through withdrawal since Fox has pulled the low rated Joss Whedon show from the Friday night schedule.

Well, I'm here to help you with that.  I've got a Blu-ray DVD of the first season of "Dollhouse," starring Eliza Dushku, and I'm in the mood for a giveaway.

The DVD is a 3-Disc set and it includes the original unaired Pilot, "Echo" and five featurettes about the show.

As you guys know, I've been a little ambiguous about "Dollhouse" but I love Joss Whedon so I still think the show's first season is worth a good look.

Just a reminder, this is a Blu-ray DVD so if you don't have a Blu-ray player, you won't be able to play it.

How do you win this DVD?

Well, in the comments below, tell me your favorite moment from any Joss Whedon show and you'll be entered into the drawing for the giveaway.  The deadline for commenting is 11 PM on November 15th and I'll conduct the drawing and announce the winner on November 16th.

Ready, set...comment!
