I must admit I've sometimes called him SquareBob SpongePants, but I say it with affection.
In "SpongeBob SquarePants: Truth or Square," coming Tuesday on DVD, the naive and goofy sea sponge who works as a fry cook in the fictional underwater town of Bikini Bottom faces a dilemma when he loses Mr. Krab's Krabby Patty formula just before the Krusty Krab's Eleventy-Seventh anniversary. His search for the recipe includes never-before-seen flashbacks to the happiest moments of his life. The DVD also includes four new-to-DVD episodes. "Truth or Square" is not rated and has a list price of $16.99.
Timed to coincide with Friday's theatrical release "2012" is "Doomsday 2012," a fascinating examination of the various Doomsday myth and predictions, from the History Channel. You've probably heard that the fantastically accurate Mayan calendar that has predicted eclipses, etc., for millennia ends on Dec. 21, 2012. Well, did you know that the I Ching, the Chinese fortune-telling oracle, and the Web Bob Project, an Internet-based prophetic software program, also say the end will come on that very date? The special brings together those prophecies, plus others from the Roman oracle Sibyl and the "original" Merlin - the mad Welsh character Myrddin Wyllt - to examine the prophecy. Believe it or don't, you won't be bored by this story. "Doomsday 2012" is not rated and has a list price of $19.95.
There's plenty of clotheus discardus and coitus interruptus in "Show Me Yours," a racy Canadian series that is presented in the United States in its original, unedited version for the first time. (A less-racy version aired on the Oxygen cable channel here.) Working off a "Castle"-like sexual-tension relationship, the two main characters - a psychologist-turned-sex expert with a new book deal (Rachael Crawford) and a newly assigned co-author (Adam Harrington) - interview volunteers who agree to describe their most meaningful (or graphic or recent ...) sexual encounter. Their words often are enacted (in scenes inside the researchers' imagination). It's not as graphic as it could be - but it's more graphic than most American TV. All 16 episodes of the series are included on this two-disc set, which lists for $24.98.

Donald Munro Humanity subtly appears in Tanner show
Humans see the world a certain way. Literally. We're stalklike creatures, basically, with eyes perched at the very top, and our sense of the manner in which we occupy physical space -- from a view of a sunset to the way we navigate through crowds -- Read more →
