Sprout’s Thanks-For-Giving Week gives TV time to viewers
Want to tell everyone what you are thankful for
this season?
That is the opportunity that the PBS Kids Sprout network is giving viewers. And although the network caters to preschoolers, there isn’t an age limit to submit a message that could appear on TV on Thanksgiving Day.
Everyone must submit their age, name and hometown, however.
Simply visit www.SproutOnline.com to send Thanksgiving Day thoughts that will be featured on a continuous on-air crawl on Thursday, Nov. 26.
But that’s not all. Viewers are also invited to go online to send in notes, videos and artwork about people in their lives for whom they are thankful. And those great submissions will be featured on-air during the “Sprout’s Thanks-For-Giving Week” celebration beginning Monday, Nov. 23.
Plus, Sprout online also has printable Thanksgiving Day projects for preschoolers to do.
Sprout (channel 149 on Cox Digital Cable and 295 on Direct TV) is indeed a 24-hour preschool destination available on television, on demand and online for children ages 2-5 and their parents and caregivers.

“Our Little Genius” game show seeks child prodigies
Have a little genius in your family? If so, let the producers of the new game show “Our Little Genius” know about him or her.
The show, which is being produced by Mark Burnett (”Survivor”) and has been picked up by Fox, gives child prodigies between the ages of 6 and 12 a chance to put their knowledge to the test and win money for their families.
To play, little geniuses must answer increasingly difficult questions as they work their way up to win their family hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, there is one catch: the little genius’ parents can stop the game at any time and choose to walk away with the winnings for their family.
If parents decide to pull their child from the hot seat before a particular question, the little genius still has the chance to prove his or her brilliance and answer the question to determine if the parents made the right decision.
To learn how your little genius and family can be considered as possible contestants on “Our Little Genius,” send your inquiries to ourlittlegenius@yahoo.com.

Casting calls scheduled for “She’s Got the Look” Season 3
It’s never too late to pursuit a dream. Take TV Land’s “She’s Got the Look” series, for instance.
For two seasons, the show has featured women ranging in age from 35 to 72 looking to break into modeling. Two of the women (the winners of each season) received a modeling contract with Wilhelmina Models Inc., a photo spread in a national magazine and a check for $100,000, while many others secured a variety of top-tier bookings.
Next month, TV Land will launch another search for sophisticated and confident women over 35 who have the potential to transform themselves into models representing some of the most high-profile brands and highly-coveted campaigns in the fashion and beauty industry.
Open casting calls for Season 3 of “She’s Got The Look” begin Dec. 6 in Los Angeles, with other auditions scheduled for Dec. 12 in New York City, Dec. 13 in Memphis and Dec. 15 in Columbus, Ohio. Thousands of applications have already been received for the third season. For the most current information on casting, go to www.TVLandPrime.com.
