Nikita Season 1 on DVD/Blu-Ray soon

*Disclaimer: I have been hired by Warner Bros. WBWord division to promote Nikita Season 1 on DVD. 


“The Division” recruits troubled youth, erase their background and shapes them into spies and assassins. If given the chance, would you neglect your current life for one of globe trotting spy work if it meant you would have to cut all ties with everyone in your life?

Personally, I love to travel and see the world but I want to do it with my friends and family, not as a secret agent with a double life. I can't imagine having to constantly lie and pretend to be someone else. I can see why Nikita tried to get out for love, you can't hold on to your true self when you're constantly lying!

What do you think? Would you trade your life in for that of a jetsetting spy? Let me know in the comments!

Music Monday: Dedication to My Ex by Lloyd

I am loving this resurgence in motown and that older style of music in today's new hits. What started with Cee-Lo Green, Bruno Mars, and Janelle Monae is now expanding and Lloyd seems to have come out of nowhere with his fast climbing track, Dedication to My Ex. Check out the track after the break. Be warned, it's a lyric video with some pretty explicit lyrics, so maybe save this one for just headphones or after you leave the office. But anyways, enjoy!

Fall TV: The Complete 2011 Premiere Schedule

This season, the premieres are spread out over the entire month of September and even in to October and November. I feel like the networks learned from the mistakes of last year, where all the shows seemed to premiere within a two week window. With such a short window, it set up a lot of the shows for failure. Viewers had to make their television choices early and if they picked wrong, they had already missed an episode or two of the other new shows and didn't both to catch up.

Check out the full Fall TV premiere schedule after the break, as well as the few new shows I plan on checking out.
