The Muppet Kings

The old Kings Barcade certainly had its funky charms; but it's got nothing on the vastly superior new Kings that opened a few months back on Martin Street in downtown Raleigh. And one of the coolest things about the new spot is a piece of decor put together by Kristin Matwiczyk, a local artist who also waits tables at a nearby restaurant. Putting knowledge gleaned from a past job in a puppet workshop to good use, Matwiczyk built an amazing likeness of a couple of legendary hecklers. For more on how she did it, see the story in Sunday's paper.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" as you've never heard it!

Used to be that the most memorable cover version of the mini-epic "Bohemian Rhapsody" was the one from the movie "Wayne's World." But I'd say that that is no longer the case.

What to Watch on Wednesday: Premieres to fill you with "Glee"

Families Stand Together: Feeling Secure in Tough Times (8pm, UNC-TV)
- Al Roker, Deborah Roberts, and Elmo cohost this show with tips for kids
from age 2-8 whose families are facing economic hardships. Some of Elmo's other Muppet pals pitch in, too.

America's Next Top Model (8pm, CW) - President Obama might be addressing Congress at 8pm, but Tyra Banks is a'dressing some more models. This 13th season of ANTM features "short" models -- all 5'7 or under.

So You Think You Can Dance (8pm, Fox) - I know it seems like the previous season just ended last week, but it's back again. Auditions begin tonight.

Glee (9pm, Fox) - "Glee?" Yay! The first episode (not counting the pilot) has a lot going on. The glee club misfits give their first big performance, Finn's cheerleader girlfriend (and president of the Abstinence Club) becomes jealous of Rachel, and Will's pregnant wife wants to buy a house (for all the Pottery Barn stuff hidden away in her Christmas Closet, no doubt) so he has to figure out a way to make extra money.

Top Chef Las Vegas (10pm, Bravo) - A Who's Who collection of French chefs are guests tonight to judge the contestants' skills with French cuisine. Look for Joël Robuchon, Daniel Boulud, Hubert Keller, Laurent Tourondel and Jean Joho.
