Added TV SHOW and REVIEW COMMENTS

As part of the continuing effort to keep Chris satisified with the forward progress of the site, I have added two new features:

TV Show Season
Actually, this isn't really a feature. Its just a new type of product that you can review. Its intended for an entire season of a show. The immediate example is THE SARAH CONNOR CHORNICLES. As far as individual episodes: That's a whole other thing that I haven't started yet.

Comments
Yet another feature that was on the old site and is now, at last, on the new site. I actually attempted to do this a couple times before. I wanted to use an ajax dialog control, but I couldn't get the ajax toolkit to work in VS2008, and I wasn't in the mood to fight with it. I think its clashing with an old version that the GAC util won't let me delete. Another fight for another day. In the meantime, I tossed in a plain-old textbox on the page. It only shows up if you're logged in.

Unlike the review page, the comment box doesn't care if your session times out while you type your comments. It tracks who you are in viewstate so that it can always get to your id. The review page has a pretty major bug... if your session times out, the review won't save. I made it a habit to copy it before clicking save. I'll get to it.

Enjoy
