Any idea if this is in .10 or not?

dunno, maybe "news"?  It probably falls under tvshow, but might be
different enough to count as its own category.

hmm, cool.  now to figure out how to support it in a gui.

yeah, me neither.  but sometimes it's nice to just type what I'm
thinking.   Menu it will stay - but I'll make sure to add string support
in for those who want to add it into a theme.
