While situated in their “newsroom” in Brooklyn, New York, two young girls named Franny and Sofia report on local happenings in what certainly qualifies as the most precious newscast ever.

A new dad completely confounds his adorable newborn by making motorboat sounds with his mouth. Enjoy it while you can, dad, because something tells us your baby girl won’t always be this easy to impress.

A deer made quite an entrance at a Goodwill store in New Jersey on Jan. 7 when it plunged through a glass door and ran rampant in the store. A deer crashing through the window of a taco restaurant we can totally understand. But a second-hand store? How gauche!

On Dec. 31, an Australian tourist Erin Langworthy’s bungee cord snapped, sending her plummeting 365 feet into the crocodile-infested Zambesi River below. Does that qualify as a worst-case scenario or what?

A four-piece band called the Koren Ensemble races through 15 TV theme songs in slightly more than two minutes in this awesome medley. It’s a mashup guaranteed to seriously test your couch potato knowledge.

This year, the iconic Time Magazine Person of the Year cover slot goes to “The Protestor,” a conceptual idea meant to indicate men and women around the world, particularly in the Middle East, who have agitated for change.

‘Live With Regis and Kelly’ continues to celebrate Regis Philbin’s trademark doddering old man moments in honor of his impending departure on Nov. 18. The latest installment is a side-splitting montage of the many times he’s botched celebrity names over the past 28 years.

Warning: If you have a fear of flying, this video definitely won’t help. A Boeing 767 made an emergency landing in Warsaw, Poland yesterday after its landing gear failed to extend due to a hydraulic problem.

Just in time for Halloween, ‘Today’ anchors Lester Holt, Amy Robach and Jenna Wolfe joined the cast of SyFy’s ‘Ghost Hunters’ to search for spirits at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. Mighty brave, given that the abandoned prison is supposedly a hotbed of paranormal activity.

Regis Philbin has done some whacky things before, but nothing, as far as we recall, that resulted in him getting partially naked on national TV. Leave it to ‘Jersey Shore’ train-wreck Snooki for bringing out the wild man in The Reeg.

The boys are back! It’s been quite some time since ‘Beavis and Butt-head’ went off the air in 1997, but, thankfully, they’ve returned with all-new idiocy and a desire to skewer recent pop cultural phenomenons. Let’s just say that copious suntanning isn’t the only way the  ‘Jersey Shore’ gang are getting burned.

The folks at ‘Today’ offered up a gallery of spectacularly bad Halloween photos culled from the Awkward Family Photos website. There’s nothing wrong with homemade Halloween costumes per se, but these are simply unforgivable (and unintentionally scary).
