We, over here at BuddyTV, decided to run a big user contest to kick off the new year. The concept is simple. Watch the pilot episode of United States of Tara and take the user quiz to enter. Watch carefully because you need a score of 80% or better in order to be eligible. You can enter once per 24 hour period up until midnight January 18th, the night of the premiere of United States of Tara. Then, the winner will be randomly selected from all eligible entries. First prize gets a 26' flat screen television and a Memorex DVD player. Runner-up will receive a Showtime tote bag full of DVD sets: Dexter season 2, Penn & Teller: BS! season 5, Californication season 1, The L Word season 5, and The Tudors season 1 and other great Showtime goodies. It's simple, it's fun, and it's easy to win!

So, head over to the entry page and check it out.

We're also running a caption contest. Simply head over to the to Caption Contest page, submit an entry for the above photo, and vote on others. You can enter as many times as you want. Two winners will be chosen via votes. The winners will receive a Showtime gift bag like the one mentioned above.

So happy New Years BuddyTV! Enjoy!
