Today's TWoP News: November 20, 2009 Oprah has given notice, and people are just setting themselves on fire in the streets over it. No, I do not know why.

TWoP 10: TV Things We're Thankful For This Year

While we're constantly grateful for our friends and family and jobs and health and all that jazz, we're really thankful for the gift of television and DVRs and for Grey's Anatomy episodes without Katherine Heigl. So instead of focusing on the negative, we'd like to spend this very special episode of TWoP 10 celebrating all of the good that has come to the airwaves this fall.

Today's TWoP News: Thursday, November 19, 2009 Thursday's news is here from the future. And what a pleasant future it shall be! Aaron Sorkin, television genius, will once again grace us with his presence, The Primetime Emmy Awards are set for August, and reality shows about cooking go to the next level.

The It's Always Sunny Gang Discuss Their Feelings on Christmas, the Music of Nightman and Fighting the FCC It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is really the little cult show that could, going from a bizarro blip on FX's roster when it began to a certified hit five seasons later, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserved show. It's one of the most consistently funny shows on TV right now (second only to 30 Rock for me personally), and one that makes tremendous efforts to incorporate payoffs and inside jokes for its long-term fans, and it just keeps getting better. To promote the gang's upcoming insane holiday DVD It's a Very Sunny Christmas, Rob McElhenney (Mac) and Glenn Howerton (Dennis) participated in a media call to discuss Dick Towels and Santa. Enjoy the highlights after the jump.

What Survivor and Other Reality Shows Can Learn From Real World/Road Rules Challenge

Yes, I realize how ridiculous that headline sounds. Yes, I am too old to be watching Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Yes, I stopped watching The Real World years ago and only have the vaguest idea who half of the contestants are. Yes, the Challenge has its flaws -- way too many off-challenge physical altercations, too many drunken hook-ups and a really boring host. But still, I think other (aging) reality shows could actually learn a lot from this series.

Today's TWoP News: November 18, 2009

Casting, casting, casting! Where a woman is a woman and a man is an Elvis impersonator! Where Harry Potter gets animated, and Tim Gunn gets even more legendary! Where a crook becomes a cop, and Ethan Embry is still alive, apparently!

Melrose Place: Did Heather Locklear Make Everything Better?

I was very excited when it was announced that Heather Locklear was returning to her Melrose Place roots as the bitch-in-heels Amanda Woodward. This new series, while oddly watchable, needed a jolt of something to really get it going. Since she'd saved the previous incarnation from dullness/cancellation, it seemed fitting that she'd boost this version as well. But now that we've actually seen her first episode, I'm not sure her appearance is helping matters much.

Can We Give The Prisoner a Break Already?

Can We Give The Prisoner a Break Already? After the brutal early reviews of this new AMC series, I expected The Prisoner premiere to feel like something akin to the time I had to watch nine consecutive hours of the Real Housewives of Atlanta for work, but condensed, maximized and worse. But I don't know -- perhaps it's a testament to going into something with the lowest expectations possible, but dare I say I kind of enjoyed the two-hour episode? I don't think it's nearly as bad as it's being made out to be.
