DVD News – Both of my sources remain unupdated this week. Only real news I can give you for this section is that Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is out on DVD this week. I’ll be picking up my copy. Will you?

Television Viewership – The Walking Dead returns with its best numbers to date, but personally I was a little let down by the midseason premiere. I still urge you to tune in to your favorite SyFy shows because some of them are nearing cancellation numbers. Face Off is the only one that’s doing good.
