If you’re looking for an original costume idea for your kids this Halloween, maybe you want to look at the Backyardigans. You might have never heard about it (like me), but it’s a television show for children:
“The show is an animated musical-adventure series aimed at children between the ages of 2 and 5[3]. In each episode, the show’s five preschool friends—Pablo, Tyrone, Uniqua, Tasha, and Austin—rely on their vivid imaginations to transform their backyard into completely different worlds, in which they go through many sorts of stories and adventures.” More at Wikipedia
Check the collection of Backyardigans costumes.

If you watch Animal Planet, you know about
Meerkat Manor and The Whiskers

The living story of meerkats surviving in the wild.
This is a really good show, think about it like reality-show meets nature, and it is very entertaining, educational but sometimes sad. I do not watch it religiously, but i find myself switching channels once in a while to see if the little craters are on.
Discover Channel has released a collection of Animal Planet costumes, including, YES you got it right, a meerkat costume! We had, here on CostumZee, a forum discussion going on now for over a year about it, and I am pleased to finally announced that you can buy meerkat costume online at least at one of our online partners.

Ok, this won’t be cheap and it might cost you a few thousands of dollars, but you could dress up as the most celeb mobster of HBO Tony Sopranos for real this Halloween!
I found out today that Chritie’s will be auctioning many of Tony Sopranos’ suits and other wardrobe really soon. Auctions on most pieces are set to start around $1,000 and up, but this is not your average mafia costume, remember, this is the real deal.
My favorite? Certainly the outfit Tony was wearing when his Uncle Junior shot him out of dementia… it has blood stains and i would expect that it has the bullet hole as well. Simply, the perfect Halloween costume!

Although it’s a little early to start planning for 2009, the rabid fanbase of Star Trek fans will be eager to check out the newest Star Trek movie coming next year. Both hype and hopes are high as the film is being directed by J.J. Abrams, the mind behind television’s “Lost” and the recent hit film, “Cloverfield.” As with most of Abrams-helmed projects, not much footage has been released on the film besides that it centers on the early days of the Starship Enterprise under James T. Kirk and that “Heroes”‘ Zachary Quinto stars as young Spock and several other big names are also part of the cast. A teaser trailer with tiny tidbits of footage can be found here.
The anticipation of the latest Star Trek film will no doubt have Trekies plotting a Romulan run on costumes to head to comic cons, Star Trek fan conventions, and even the premiere of the film before the Enterprise finally lands in May 2009. Pick up a Star Trek in either red, yellow, or blue…. Uh, just use a bit of caution in case you’re wearing the infamous “red shirt” uniform. Get in touch with your stoic Vulcan side with some pointed Spock ears. Strike fear into your enemies with a Klingon mask, fit for a fierce warrior. Or just show some pride with a Star Trek Federation pin or a Klingon Communicator Badge pin.

When i was a kid, i really enjoyed watching Knight Rider, yeah that was a hot show for kids in the 80s. What kid wouldn’t want to drive a car that talks to you, come and get you, through you out by the roof and is super sharp looking…
Well if you are ready to believe it, Knight Rider will be back on television as early as 2008! David Hasselhoff seems to be in negotiations to take on the role again, i guess he is still in pretty good shape…when he is not drinking. The plan is to make a 2 hour long movie to introduce the television show for 08/09.
K.I.T.T. has been upgraded to a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR although i wished they went for a Corvette…but wahtever, it won’t make me not watch the series anyway! I am not really what the rest of the cast will up being, and in a way, who cares. As long as Hasselhof is in there, I don’t really care about the others. Alright, so now, let’s think about costumes because that’s what matters here on CostumZee!
