NCIS DVD is a such great show that hooked me up from the start. I love all the cast and the script and everything. The characters are so great and cool with all the funny things they are saying. The creator of NCIS DVD should be so proud of himself for making such a good show. It's one of me favourite shows, that I'm watching NCIS DVD every week when it don't have a break, which it have now. I really hope that NCIS DVD will be plenty more seasons with those great actors and the same energy in the script as it got now. A great tv show, unsurpassed by any of its kind. JAG was a great show when it was on, and without NCIS DVD to add to it's legacy, it would have diminished into the memories of long-forgotted classics. Based on the British Series of the same name, The Office DVD: An American Workplace, looks at the lives of employees at Dunder-Mifflin Scranton, through the lenses of a documentary crew.
The Office DVD, Based on the incredible British original of the same name, looks at the lives of a few employees at the fictional Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company, through the lenses of a documentary. This series surpasses the original and is more of a comedy than the original. After a shaky start, the series creates endless laughs in every episode it produces. Now on its 100th episode, and renewed for a sixth season, The Office Seasons 1-5 DVD is for anyone that like subtle humor. It has the awkward moments, the laugh-out-loud episodes, and the light episodes.

The 19-year-old star, famed for his on-stage athleticism, overshadowed Alicia Keys, who led the field with five nominations, and ended up with a pair of statuettes.

Brown was clearly shocked when his name was announced for artist of the year, the ceremony’s final award.

“I probably was shocked like everybody else,” Brown told reporters backstage at the Nokia Theater. “I know everybody was like, ‘Huh?’ I thought Coldplay should have genuinely won that award, but I’ll take it!”

He was also named favorite male artist in both the soul/R&B and pop/rock categories. His girlfriend, Rihanna, won those categories for the women, beating Keys in both races.

Keys’ awards were for her chart-topping disc, “As I Am,” which was named favorite album in the soul/R&B and pop/rock categories.

Behind Keys in the nominees list were British rock band Coldplay and American country-rock veterans the Eagles, who both went home empty-handed.

Other multiple winners included outspoken rapper Kanye West, who has never been afraid to express his dismay when he is overlooked at awards shows. He won the first two American Music Awards of his career, but said he would give one of them away to fellow nominee, Lil Wayne.

“If it was last year, this would have been my award,” he said of the favorite male rap/hip-hop category. “This year, it’s Wayne’s award. We’ll see what happens next year.”

Earlier, he won for the statuette for favorite rap/hip-hop album with “Graduation.” West challenged musicians of all genres to push each other, and to reclaim the spirit of artists like the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. In his case, he declared, “I wanna be Elvis!”

But host Jimmy Kimmel retorted a little later, “Elvis died on the toilet with half a jelly donut in his mouth, so you might want to rethink that one.”

Kimmel also took a dig at addiction-plagued rocker Scott Weiland, who had to struggle to introduce a performer. Kimmel suggested that Disney starlet Miley Cyrus, who turned 16 on Sunday, would now be able to drive him home.

Among the first-time winners were Taylor Swift, current holder of the No. 1 spot on the U.S. pop album chart with her album “Fearless.” She appeared to be the only shocked person in the Nokia Theater room when she was named favorite female country singer.

“It’s an honor that you even care about the songs I wrote in my bedroom,” said the 18-year-old star.

Another country star, Brad Paisley, was also a first-time winner, in the genre’s favorite male artist category.

“I have always, always wanted to win an American Music Award,” he said, pausing to survey the bottom of his perspex statuette. “Made in China?”

For the second year, winners were determined by online voting. They used to be decided by a poll of 20,000 music buyers, but producers decided to make the event more inclusive in the wake of slumping ratings. The move seemed to work, with last year’s show attracting 11.8 million viewers, up from 10.9 million the year before.

The performance-heavy event spanned the generations, from Cyrus to former Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox, who earned a standing ovation with her heartfelt piano ballad “Why.”

The 19-year-old star, famed for his on-stage athleticism, overshadowed Alicia Keys, who led the field with five nominations, and ended up with a pair of statuettes.

Brown was clearly shocked when his name was announced for artist of the year, the ceremony’s final award.

“I probably was shocked like everybody else,” Brown told reporters backstage at the Nokia Theater. “I know everybody was like, ‘Huh?’ I thought Coldplay should have genuinely won that award, but I’ll take it!”

He was also named favorite male artist in both the soul/R&B and pop/rock categories. His girlfriend, Rihanna, won those categories for the women, beating Keys in both races.

Keys’ awards were for her chart-topping disc, “As I Am,” which was named favorite album in the soul/R&B and pop/rock categories.

Behind Keys in the nominees list were British rock band Coldplay and American country-rock veterans the Eagles, who both went home empty-handed.

Other multiple winners included outspoken rapper Kanye West, who has never been afraid to express his dismay when he is overlooked at awards shows. He won the first two American Music Awards of his career, but said he would give one of them away to fellow nominee, Lil Wayne.

“If it was last year, this would have been my award,” he said of the favorite male rap/hip-hop category. “This year, it’s Wayne’s award. We’ll see what happens next year.”

Earlier, he won for the statuette for favorite rap/hip-hop album with “Graduation.” West challenged musicians of all genres to push each other, and to reclaim the spirit of artists like the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. In his case, he declared, “I wanna be Elvis!”

But host Jimmy Kimmel retorted a little later, “Elvis died on the toilet with half a jelly donut in his mouth, so you might want to rethink that one.”

Kimmel also took a dig at addiction-plagued rocker Scott Weiland, who had to struggle to introduce a performer. Kimmel suggested that Disney starlet Miley Cyrus, who turned 16 on Sunday, would now be able to drive him home.

Among the first-time winners were Taylor Swift, current holder of the No. 1 spot on the U.S. pop album chart with her album “Fearless.” She appeared to be the only shocked person in the Nokia Theater room when she was named favorite female country singer.

“It’s an honor that you even care about the songs I wrote in my bedroom,” said the 18-year-old star.

Another country star, Brad Paisley, was also a first-time winner, in the genre’s favorite male artist category.

“I have always, always wanted to win an American Music Award,” he said, pausing to survey the bottom of his perspex statuette. “Made in China?”

For the second year, winners were determined by online voting. They used to be decided by a poll of 20,000 music buyers, but producers decided to make the event more inclusive in the wake of slumping ratings. The move seemed to work, with last year’s show attracting 11.8 million viewers, up from 10.9 million the year before.

The performance-heavy event spanned the generations, from Cyrus to former Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox, who earned a standing ovation with her heartfelt piano ballad “Why.”

The Scottish rocker received a lifetime achievement award and said, “I never thought that I would live to see the day that I would be 53 years old standing on the stage.”(reuters)

Kenyan artist Wahu reacts after receiving the best female artist award during the MTV Africa Music Awards in Abuja Nigeria on Saturday, November 22, 2008.

Two Nigerian singers won top awards Saturday as MTV held its first-ever music award program for Africa, with acts from across Africa being nominated for prizes.

Nigerian singer D'banj won the artist of the year award, while his compatriot, Naeto C, took the laurels for the best new African act, it was announced at the ceremony in Abuja, Nigeria's capital.

Winners were selected by fans sending text messages, said Alison Reid, a spokeswoman for MTV Networks Africa.

Africa has long featured a vibrant music scene, but artists have had difficulties breaking into overseas markets. Famous African artists include Senegal's Youssou N'dour, Nigerian legend Fela Kuti and South African impresario Miriam Makeba, who died this month.

MTV hopes the awards can offer the artists more exposure and celebrate the continent's artistry.

Performers from South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Gabon and others also were nominated. Songs by D'banj and Naeto C, both male, are all but ubiquitous on the radio in Nigeria, Africa's most-populous nation of 140 million people.

African music is highly varied, reflecting myriad tastes in the vast continent. Included across the many genres are call-and-response chanting and heavy drumming, drawing on pre-colonial modes of communication among villages.

Since independence movements swept the continent in the 1960s, African music also has increasingly been open to outside influence, incorporating salsa rhythms, rock beats and, increasingly, hip hop and R&B styles.

Many of the new Nigerian acts nominated Saturday feature heavy beats pioneered by American rappers and hip-hop artists. The lyrics often reflect the desire of many Nigerians to escape poverty and corrupt governance.

MTV's regional music channel MTV Base now reaches almost 50 million African viewers in 48 countries through a network of pay-per-view services and partnerships with domestic channels.
