  This Thanksgiving you can have turkey and penguins.

  Less than a year after winning the Oscar for Best Documentary, the captivating “March of the Penguins” comes to cable television. And it will debut on Nov. 25 on the Hallmark Channel.  I would have thought Animal Planet or Discovery would get this first.

  The film,  which is about the strong family bonds of penguins, is out on DVD.  It was a hit even though it is a French film and many Americans haven’t been too fond of things made in France.

  This reminds me of that Garrison Keillor joke: Two penguins are on an ice float. One says to the other: “You look like you’re weraring a tuxedo.” The other penguin says “What makes you think I’m not.”

  Yeah, I don’t get it either.
