You say you've always wanted your own, full-size replica of the the robot from Lost in Space? You're in luck! The team at B9Creations has created a line of replica robots that you can purchase. Check out the pics, they look great. And all for a paltry $24.5K. Danger Will Robinson, indeed. But, you do get an internal 240 watt sound system and over 500 voice tracks by Richard Tyrfeld, the voice of the original robot. Now how does that $24.5k sound?

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be awesome? All the time? Then this interview with Ryan McPartlin, Captain Awesome on Chuck, is for you.

He steals the scenes he's in. Watch Chuck.

The new History Channel series, UFO Hunters, has been moved up. It's new premier date is now January 30th at 9pm ET. That's tomorrow, at 9PM ET. Set your DVRs. I know my kids have.
