As a kid, you woke up early on Saturday mornings to catch your favorite cartoon, and family movie night was the highlight of your week. Once upon a time, you and the guys got together to watch the game; you even got hooked on a network series with your significant other. Now, streaming content, mobile apps, and other technologies have kicked TV to the curb. Poor, poor "Lonely TV" - thrown over and left undusted despite its decades of faithful companionship, while you've been fooling around with slicker-looking tech flavors of the month.

Get ready to plant yourself on the couch once again - Logitech Revue is coming to a TV set near you, giving television the power to once again reclaim its rightful place as the center of your entertainment universe.

Buzz for the launch of the Revue -- an external device that brings control over the internet and TV to your HDTV-- is big, beginning with the quirky "Lonely TV" Web clips. Trust us - they're definitely Facebook likeable and Tweet-worthy; check out Revueiscoming.com and share away. You may have neglected your TV, but thanks to Logitech Revue, soon all will be forgiven, and it will welcome you back with open arms.
