Top 12 Entertainment Events of February

February is my least favorite month--cold, dark, in the dead of winter--but the good news is that it's also sweeps month for the networks, so the shows are usually good and a few other goodies (music, movies, and books) usually slip in there, too.  Here are 12 fun entertainment events that will surely warm your heart in the middle of dreary February:


1.   The Walking Dead (2/12 on AMC)


2.   Super Bowl XLVI (2/5 on NBC)


3.   The Voice (right after The Super Bowl)


4.   The 84th Academy Awards (2/26 on ABC)


5.   Survivor: One World (2/15 on CBS)


6.   The 54th Grammy Awards (2/15 on CBS)


7.   The Amazing Race (2/19 on CBS)


8.   Smash (2/6 on NBC)


9.   The River (2/7 on ABC)


10.  The Woman in Black (in theaters on 2/3)


11.   Scars & Stories by The Fray (on iTunes on 2/7)


12.   Take Shelter (on DVD on 2/14)


So it looks like a solid month of fun.  This is why God invented DVR.
