Monday Photos and WeekEnd Assignments
Your Substitute Monday Photo Shoot #1: What's New? In honor of the new year, show us something new. It can be a gift you got over the holidays, something you gave yourself, or even something that symbolizes the New Year to you. If it's new, it'll do!
Here's mine:
Here is Max on his new rocking horse (Christmas Day). On a related note...at my mother's insistence, I have entered Max in the annual Regis and Kelly Beautiful Baby contest. If Max makes it to the finals, can I count on all my lovely readers to vote for him? LOL I know. The finals are about as likely as us winning the lottery. But I can be optimistic, right?
Weekend Assignment #196: Now that the WGA strike has had lots of time to affect the prime time television schedules, how is it affecting you as a viewer? What show do you miss most, aside from reruns?
Oh man...it would be easier to ask what DON'T I miss. I'm a network TV junkie. Even some of my morning talk shows have been affected by the strike. If I had my way - every week (even during the summer) there would be a new episode of my favorite shows on. Reruns would air on off-hours or even on a different "rerun channel". I know, I know...that wouldn't be fair to the actors. They need vacations in St. Barts or San Moritz too. So I propose every show have 2 sets of actors. The Fall/Winter cast and the Spring/Summer cast. Just think! More out of work actors will get the opportunity to get a role on TV! And what a challenge to match the performance of the cast from the alternate seasons!
OK, my focus kinda wandered there for a moment. I miss Chuck, Heroes, Journey Man, Bones, House, Desperate Housewives, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Moonlight, Las Vegas, Smallville, Supernatural, CSI, Ugly Betty, Prison Break, Kyle XY, umm.... I know I'm missing a couple. Good enough. How has the strike affected me? Good golly! I am watching "Crowned: The Mother of all Pageants" on CW; a reality show about a beauty pageant. AAAAAAHHHHH! Someone pay those writers what ever the hell they want. PLEASE!

Now, for you my friend, you are watching waaaaay too much TV:)But I have to agree, reruns and the WGA strike have my panties in a knot. At my age I am lucky to remember what happened on the last episode when it was on last week. When you put reruns and then add a strike to that I am truly lost. Which takes me to Lost. It has been so long since I last saw that show that I will be LOST!
(Aside - I've played catch-up a bit, but didn't leave a lot of comments. Congrats on hearing from Liz after all these years. Be happy - your camera is coming (I assume)!
I don't watch much TV .. my thing is "Amazing Race" which of course doesn't need writers. Oh wait, 'Men in Trees' ... I miss that! Oh wait, thought of yet another. Oh my ... it seems since I've stopped working the evening job I do have a few shows. I also got hooked on the Women's Murder Club. That's it ... I think.
Monica, who is obviously more addicted to TV than I realized!
