Happy Mother's Day!

Sunday May 10, 2009
Celebrate all things mom with Fox tonight. On King of the Hill at 7:30 p.m. ET, Luanne becomes a children's performer and creates a franchise around her Manger Baby puppets in "Manger Baby Einstein." At 8:00 p.m. ET on The Simpsons, Marge and Lisa visit the nail salon where they engage in a spirited debate as to whether a woman can be smart, powerful and beautiful all at the same time. To prove their point, they spin four tales of famous women featuring famous Springfield faces, including Maggie (voice of Jodie Foster) as the idealistic architect protagonist from Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. My head hurts just thinking about it. Bring it on! Photo courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox.

I love your columns and insight; but the new format is ALL ADS, come on, do we really need this many ads?
