Gena from the Morris Bunch Blog did a special live show today with special guest – ABCmouse.com and had a live giveaway of ten (1) year subscriptions to the site. Watch the live show rebroadcast and find out more about ABCMouse.com and how you can get this program for your school for FREE! http://themorrisbunchblog.com/2011/02/28/abcmouse-com-winners-announced/. As we have a lot of Moms coming to Mingle Media TV (and have some Moms who host web shows here as well), we wanted to share this amazing new program that we heard about: The ABCMouse.com Early Learning Academy. Imagine an online environment that was developed especially for your children, ages 2-6 where they can engage in a safe environment where learning their ABCs can also teach them those life skills that are so necessary mousing around with a computer mouse (hence the name). The patent-pending educational content and delivery methods developed especially for ABCmouse.com will help young children thoroughly learn educational basics in reading, math, beginning science, social studies, art and music. The website is the first to offer this type of educational content for early learners and even includes a unique reward system that not only recognizes your childs accomplishments, but encourages them to continue to progress. From my experience as a mother, I know that every child excels differently, not just by skills but by topic so having a system that tracks that for you will help you with your childs development as they grow enabling you to see where they may need extra help, either in math or reading skills (as an example). Dont wait for those quarterly reports stay on top of your childs progress with a program like ABCMouse.com. From ABCs and 123s to Thank You and Please, ABCmouse.com is Bringing Learning to Life by offering more than 2,000 individual learning activities, including online books, games, songs, puzzles, art activities and printables contained within more than 350 custom lesson plans spanning six academic levels-all tailored for preschool-, pre-k- and kindergarten-aged children. Heres one of my favorite points: Unlike most other childrens websites, ABCmouse.com has no advertising, pop-up ads, or links to other websites, so children can learn and explore with their parents or teachers or on their own, depending on their age and experience, in a safe and secure online environment. Cost?? The ABCmouse.com Early Learning Academy is available to families on a low-cost subscription basis (Subscription options for ABCmouse.com: $7.95/month and $79.00/year) and allows up to three children per household for one low fee. In addition, the company has announced that at launch, the ABCmouse.com Early Learning Academy will be available free of charge to all public schools throughout the United States and Canada that apply for the program.

“The Walking Dead” Walks Away with 6 Saturn Award Nominations
Why did we pick this as the lead into the post? Well, for one, we’re big sci-fi geeks here at Mingle Media TV and two we loved AMC’s “The Walking Dead” series! Congratulations to Frank Darabont for receiving 6 nominations! We got to speak with Michael Rooker, who was one of the characters (living) that you loved to hate this week at the Italia Film Festival at Grauman’s Theatre. Here’s a little about what he had to say:
So if you’re not familiar with The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films – well, you’re in for a treat as this is their 37th Annual Saturn Awards nomination announcement and leading the charge is Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending sci-fi thriller “Inception” with 9 nominations. It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow at the Oscar’s as Inception is also nominated for Best Picture.
More nominee’s are: Overture/Relativity Media’s “Let Me In” and Disney’s “Tron: Legacy” downloaded 7 nominations apiece, Clint Eastwood’s thought-provoking “Hereafter” received 6, while “Alice in Wonderland,” “Black Swan,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1,” “Never Let Me Go” and “Shutter Island” earned 5 nominations each .
Warner Bros. Pictures leads the pack with 23 nominations from 6 films, including “Clash of the Titans,” “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1,” “Hereafter,” “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole,” “Splice,” and “Inception.”
Also with strong showings were Paramount (lead by “Shutter Island,” and “Iron Man 2”) and Walt Disney Studios (lead by “Tron: Legacy,” “Alice in Wonderland” and “Toy Story 3”) with 16 and 14 nominations, respectively.
Fox Searchlight and Universal earned 10 nominations apiece, followed by Overture/Relativity Media (7), 20th Century Fox (6), Summit Entertainment (5), DreamWorks Animation and Marvel Films (each with 4), while Lionsgate, Magnolia Pictures and Sony Pictures scored 3 nominations each.
Of Special note, is Kino Lorber’s release of Fritz Lang’s ground-breaking 84-year-old classic, The Complete Metropolis” which was nominated for Best International Film and Best Music.
TV Categories
In the television categories, Frank Darabont’s zombie-drama “The Walking Dead” (AMC) came to life with 6 nominations. “Breaking Bad” (AMC), “Lost” (ABC) and “Fringe” (Fox) tied with 5 nominations. “Leverage” (TNT), “True Blood” (HBO) earned 4 apiece, followed by “Dexter” (Showtime) and “V” (ABC) with 3 and “The Closer” (TNT), “Smallville” (CW), and Spartacus: Blood and Sand” (Starz) with 2.

Over the years, the Academy has expanded their reach to include other film genres. The organization also recognizes excellence in television and home entertainment.
