24 September is Heritage Day, and while most people will be out celebrating the holiday with either family or around a braai, some people might prefer to stay indoors.
For those staying in, we have some good news. A bumper line-up of news shows will premiere on DStv on Heritage Day.
Here is a look at what is in store for you:
Anger Management, Comedy Central (122), 22:25
Charlie Sheen returns to television with his much acclaimed comedy Anger Management.
Sheen stars as "Charlie", a non-traditional therapist specialising in anger management. He has a successful private practice, holding sessions with his group of primary patient regulars each week. Upon this, he also has to perform pro bono counselling for an inmate group at a state prison.
His life is even furthermore complicated by his relationships with his therapist/best friend (Selma Blair) and ex-wife (Shawnee Smith) whose positive outlook, but poor choice in men, frustrates Charlie.
Catch two back-to-back episodes of the show on Comedy Central at 22:25.
Comedy Central Roast of Steve Hofmeyr, Comedy Central (122), 21:00
After all the press and criticism surrounding Africa's first Comedy Central Roast, the time has finally come for you, the viewer, to see what everybody has been going on about.
The controversial and outspoken artist, who has been through messy sex scandals and public spats and is a poster boy for trouble, will get a roast on Comedy Central (DStv 122) similar to the format used by the channel in America where celebrities are mocked by their peers.
Among the celebs to be sharpening up their claws and polishing off their most blistering remarks will be Highveld radio DJ Anele Mdoda, comic, actor and director David Kau, Sports Illustrated model and former Pasella presenter Minki Van Der Westhuizen, Isidingo's Robert Whitehead and renowned TV and movie actress Shaleen Surtie-Richards.
Catch the broadcast of the Comedy Central Roast of Steve Hofmeyr at 21:00.

What happens when you have four strangers cooking for each other, competing for a cash prize? You get Come Dine with Me!
Returning after a successful first season, the second season promises to be just as thrilling and entertaining.
Sources say that ITV Studios and BBC Worldwide, which run the BBC channels on MultiChoice's DStv, have agreed to commission a second series of Come Dine with Me South Africa which wasn't only beloved by critics for its high production values, but caused big viewer chatter about the quirky contestants.
The format show was a massive viewership success, averaging a 100 000 viewers per episode and breaking viewership records in the timeslot.
