Hot Topic Issues

I am a TV watcher.  I get so pulled in.  I get attached to characters to the point that when producers and writers kill them off it makes me angry.  Two of my favorite shows have done this.  Bad bad bad!  How dare they.  One is Grey's Anatomy.  I love this show.  But let's be serious, I am still mad about them throwing sweet George under the bus!  Oh how that made me mad!  And how Private Practice killed off  Dell.  Why?  I digress.  I am not going to go on about how shows kill off characters we come to know and love.

These two shows have a lot in common....

Grey's Anatomy
Private Practice

Both shows are medical dramas, both shows are connected by one character Addison Montgomrey.  Both shows have reckless doctors who break rules and make rash decisions.  And both shows are produced and written by the same people.  They are both on ABC which I am fully aware is a very liberal channel.  I get it.  So my question is why on both shows then when women who are intelligent, career minded get pregnant--one out of wed lock-- and got an abortion.  That's it.  No nothing.  Over. (Grey's Anatomy) And now on Private Practice another married doctor, learns she is pregnant and decides without her husband to get one only to discover she is carrying triplets.  Is she going to go through with it?  We don't know yet.  Soo I get it, women's rights.  Believe me, I am all about it.  I will squash male chauvinist pigs like a bug.  But they talk to their patients within the show about options why don't they weigh their own?  Couldn't the doc carry the baby, put it up for adoption, miscarry? All kinds of possibilities exist here.  There are many avenues to explore.    I understand the rights issue.  I do.  I just want to get to the options, the emotions, it's real.  What is your take.  Play nice.

I stopped watching both of those because the storylines were getting way too ridiculous. Apparently I made the right call.

Yea- sadly women's right have at times gone too far to one side meaning if you don't believe in abortion- though that is just is just as much my right- then some look at me as wrong or backwards. There is a reason I don't watch much TV anymore

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
