And now, I bring to you some TV news:
--Legendary comedienne Carol Burnett will return to the soap opera world of Pine Valley next month, when she joins the cast of ABC's "All My Children" in celebrating the show's 35th anniversary. The multi-talented star will reprise her 1983 role as the beloved Verla Grubbs, a representative for the network announced Thursday. "I am thrilled to be back," says Burnett about returning to the Emmy® Award-winning series.
--MTV will return to "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" next summer with more antics and escapades of the young and wealthy. The cable network has reportedly picked up another season of the popular, new reality show, which follows a group of teens from the famously affluent area of Southern California.
--Sex & the City star Chris Noth is set to return to the force in 2005 as a Law & Order regular. The actor, who played Mr. Big in Sex & the City, is set to reprise his detective character Mike Logan, which he played for five seasons on the original Law & Order drama in spin-off show Criminal Intent. And if series star Vincent D'Onofrio's health problems become a serious problem, Noth is being tipped to take over the lead role in the program.
--Take the What's Your TV IQ quiz. I scored a pathetic 7/10.

7/10. It would have been 9/10 if I would have stuck with my first guess. Maybe that's an omen for finals.....

I scored a 9/10!! But most of those questions or events took place prior to your birth.

7/10 for me. I can live with that. I guess I didn't realize they did an episode about Lucy giving birth.

9/10
Missed the first one! Seems a bit pathetic given that I knew all the others. In my defense I think it is less about age and more that I was a Mass Communications way back when...

7/10 and I guess wrong on Question 1. Wow, that was hard. Most of those questions are from the early days of TV.

9/10. That damn Emmy question got me. And I knew the Emmy was not named after a real person (unlike the Oscar or Tony) but I went with it anyway.
