• Clark County commissioners will consider allowing casinos to provide day care for conventioneers' kids. Story time selections will include "Curious Sheldon," "Make Way for Chapter 11" and "Where the Tourists Aren't."

• ABC offers up a reboot, reportedly with Obamaish political undertones, of the '80s sci-fi cheesefest "V." The unexpected plot twist: Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly aren't the reptiles!
