2006 All Media Year End Roundup (Part One)
We warned you that this week there would be no regular Pick of the Week show, but instead we offer to you part one of the 2006 All Media Year End Roundup where we discuss everything we enjoyed in 2006 from movies, to TV, to IPTV, to music and of course, comics. As an added bonus, comments are open for you to discuss what your 2006 picks were. Enjoy!
