I'm not entirely sure how this program works, but it would appear that for just $13,900 the Tucson Weekly can get the prized endorsement of Jaleel White, the guy who played Urkel, when he appears on a bunch of TV shows. 4.8 million people will hear the name of our paper coming straight from the mouth of the guy who made the phrase "Did I do that?" a national sensation! What a bargain!

LIVE FROM LOS ANGELES, it’s the most wonderful time of the year, but many American’s procrastinate when it comes to holiday shopping, especially when budgets are tight. It’s a good thing too because our host, Jaleel White is one of America’s favorite TV Icons, will share with a national audience all of the fantastic gift ideas and deals available just before the busiest shopping day of the year.

Jaleel White is best known for his role as Steve Urkel on the ABC sitcom, Family Matters. White got his start on TV commercials at the age of three. He landed his first television role as the son of Flip Wilson and Gladys Knight on the CBS series Charlie and Company. Most recently, White starred in this summer’s hit children’s movie, “Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer.”

I've been writing this column more or less weekly for the better part of a year now, and it has been a lot of fun. I don't harbor any grand visions of my relevance in the broad scope of things. In that year, maybe I've convinced two or three people to watch Breaking Bad, and two or three others to avoid H8R. And maybe those numbers are wildly inflated.

Over the year, I've been paying attention to the psychological impact of having to write about an art form on a regular basis, and I've noticed a few things, which I will list after a jump.

It's a big night for the Political Roundtable as we unpack Gov. Jan Brewer's decision to remove Colleen Mathis from the Independent Redistricting Commission, take a look at the recall effort against Senate President Russell Pearce and find out what's up in the final stretch of the City Council elections.

So, this happened last night. At least, the cross marketing provided an opportunity for Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew to participate in an energy-drink-related bit with Sheamus. It's like a dream come true for me.

Based on his American television persona, you'd probably assume that there isn't a sensitive side to celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey, but you'd be wrong. Just like R. Kelly, he's a man that doesn't see nothin' wrong with a little bump and grind, as evidenced by this exceptionally edited sex advice video.

Tracy Jordan - Werewolf Bar Mitzvah (RAC Mix) by RAC

Ladies and gentlemen, for your Halloween dancing pleasure, Tracy Jordan's "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah", remixed by RAC.

With a Metacritic score of 91, Showtime's Homeland is by far the critical darling of the fall television season. In fact, it ranks as one of the biggest critical hits since the advent of Metacritic, good enough for 8th place all-time, putting it ahead of Louie's second season and Breaking Bad's third season, in my opinion two of the most impressive feats in the history of television.

We'll see if that holds, and if the tension-packed initial narrative can eventually draw to a satisfying close. To be sure, Homeland is intriguing, nuanced and more promising than anything Showtime has done before. But I'll be honest, I'm not getting it.

In case you weren't near a TV last night and also forgot to set some sort of recording device, MTV has graciously provided the internet with the ability to stream the premiere of the reanimated Beavis & Butt-head, complete with shots at LMFAO and Jersey Shore.

Critics seem generally positive on the show's return, with Grantland's Jon Dolan particularly enjoying last night episode:

As '90s reunions go, the return of B&B was great-to-excellent — certainly up there with Superchunk, though maybe not quite as fine as Pavement. Now, they watch reality TV along with their video intake, and since videos aren't actually on MTV anymore they have much weirder, Internet-geared video fare to spit vivisecting aphorisms at (just describing Skrillex's "First of the Year (Equinox)" is comedy gold). But if the old joke proves ageless, history itself keeps on moving, and keeps on sucking. When the dastardly duo arrived in 1993 they sent PMRC-type scolds into a tizzy by being the reductio ad absurdum of post-Axl Rose metal-boy id. Now, they return as avenging angels of morality: Unlike the dreamless, humorless, chinless human-shaped Jell-O blobs that ooze their way across an episode of 16 and Pregnant or Addicted to Porn, Beavis and Butt-Head always understood how miserable they are ("How come we were born as us? It's not fair," Beavis asks while watching a partied-up LMFAO video). But they never stopped scouring the swamp lives they've been dealt for ripples of trickle-down awesomeness — who else but these guys could have the unsinkable optimism to still be looking for something cool on MTV in 2011. Hail to thee, blithe spirits.
