The first two, Army Wives and State of Mind, were mentioned previously, and the third, a "comedic drama" called Side Order of Life, will premiere this July along with State of Mind (Army Wives will premiere in June).

American Masters profiles photographer Annie Leibovitz
On January 3 at 7pm, the PBS series American Masters will profile famous photographer Annie Leibovitz, who has provided us with some of the most striking and memorable images of the past few decades. Leibovitz is responsible for the Rolling Stone cover featuring Yoko Ono and a naked John Lennon, and has shot equally intriguing photos of other celebs, including Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg and the artist Christo.
Despite her knack for getting her subjects to expose themselves for her photos (both literally and figuratively), Leibovitz's life has remained more or less out of the spotlight. This documentary, shot by her younger sister, will examine Leibovitz's professional and family life as she compiles images for her new book.
Happy Odd Couple Day!
"On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. That request came from his wife."
Happy Odd Couple Day! Today's the day Odd Couple fans can celebrate the 70s ABC sitcom. How to celebrate? Maybe if you're a really messy guy you can clean the entire apartment today. Vacuum all the rugs, scrub the shower, clean out the fridge and throw away all the old food. And if you're a really neat guy, maybe you can walk around in an old shirt, go one day without sweeping the kitchen floor, or drink beer and leave the cans on the coffee table.
The Odd Couple is one of the best sitcoms of all-time. Smart, well-written, great cast. Except for that odd first season where they had that different apartment and used more cameras and didn't have a studio audience. But after that it took off. Hey, is it even being shown anywhere nowadays? I'd love to watch it again.
