So you know

TV

Twin brothers and appraisers Leigh and Leslie Keno ("Antiques Roadshow") get their own show on Fox, which premieres Wednesday at 7 p.m. CDT. "Buried Treasure" sends the pair into the homes of everyday Americans to see what hidden valuables the brothers can find. They probably won't be impressed with a Pez collection, though.

CONTEST

Here's something really cool! What is it, you say? Here's a hint: It's in conjunction with National Punctuation Day. Contest organizers give you 13 punctuation marks and challenge you to write a paragraph using them all (you can use them more than once.) The winners will receive a box of "punctuation goodies" — whatever that means .... And you get a three-sentence maximum. If that sounds easy, in this paragraph, we use 12 of the suggested marks, but it took us 10 sentences. And we just couldn't figure out a way to use brackets. To enter, go to nationalpunctuationday.com

THEATER

"Next Fall," a 2010 best-play Tony nominee, opens a new SNAP season Friday. Luke, an evangelical Christian, is seriously hurt in an accident. That leaves his agnostic gay partner having to deal with Luke's parents and friends to get through the crisis. Look for a feature article in Thursday's go and a review in Saturday Living.

MOVIES

New at the movies Friday: an eclectic collection of chills, thrills and laughs. Screenwriter Guillermo del Toro's "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" finds a young girl dealing with creatures in her new home who want to claim her. In screenwriter Luc Besson's "Columbiana," a young woman (Zoe Saldana) who saw her parents' murder as a child grows up to be a cold assassin. For laughs, Paul Rudd plays an idealist who barges into his sisters' lives in "Our Idiot Brother," which co-stars Elizabeth Banks and Zoe Deschanel. "The Interrupters," a documentary, profiles three former gang members trying to protect Chicago neighborhoods from violence.
