I have never been one for the serial marital arts cartoon series, but I have to say, Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters - Creatures Unleashed has made a believer out of me. I'm actually kind of annoyed with myself that I haven't been watching this all along already! It's REALLY GOOD. No, I mean REALLY.

Gasp! A SpongeBob review on The TV Mom blog? I know, right! But honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. And yes, this is coming from a non-SpongeBob-fan like me. This special actually aired on non-cable television (CBS) last week, and is already available to purchase as a DVD, complete with awesome special features.

First Look: Littlest Pet Shop

Hey TV Mom readers! Sorry it's been so quiet around here. The month of November took a few turns I wasn't expecting. There was a death in my family a few days after my birthday (I was posting on the go for my last entry, unfortunately, which led to some typos that I got raked across the coals by the Brony community for... sorry, DJ-Pon3 is a girl, I know!), and after a week of being two states away from home for the funeral, I came back to have a minor surgical procedure I wasn't planning on. It wasn't a great way to start off my thirtieth year on this planet, for sure. So, with all that said, I finally have some new content for you!

In case you've missed it, The Hub premiered their new series, Littlest Pet Shop on November 10th. There are only about three episodes so far, but if you have a little girl, it's worth checking out. TV Boy isn't so enthused with it, honestly, because there is a LOT of pink and adorableness that he isn't entirely on board with... and that's coming from my son, the Brony. He did, however, enjoy the adorable press kit I got that looks like the pet shop and includes a little "elevator" that he can play with... I don't know what it is with this boy and elevators lately, but it attracted him like a moth to the flame.

I recently got the incredible opportunity to chat to this gentleman, Daniel Ingram. He's written over 100 songs for cartoon shows, and he is the chief composer for the upcoming new series on The Hub, Littlest Petshop, which features lots of big musical numbers. Chances are, if you've never heard his name, you've heard his work. His show music credits include greats like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Pound Puppies, Chuck the Truck, and Martha Speaks.

Check out my full interview with him here at my about.com page, including a musical interlude of our own!

Also, be sure to tune in to The Hub this Saturday, November 10th at 11am Eastern to see the premiere of Daniel's new musical masterpiece, Littlest Pet Shop. Click here for fun printable party favors from HubWorld.com for the premiere!
