Today is a staff meeting at church and it's a b-day of one of our priests. One of our priests is Gluten Free, so made a gluten-free cake (from a mix). To find out, the GF priest is missing the staff meeting today. This cake had better be good!!

LOL DR MATTHEW.......good luck.

Yes DR DtM - and the circumstances make it even more distressing.

Page #2 dance to a great song for today

DR JRand - yeah, the batter tasted blech.

I watched the last half hour of SMASH last night - and it was okay. As DR JOSE wrote to appease me - the songs are very Broadway NOW - although I think they are really BETTER than what I hear on some CD's from some of the shows I hear today.

I used to buy CAST ALBUMS just because I wanted the Broadway experience - but having been burned SO many times in the last 10 years or so - FLOYD COLLINS, IN THE HEIGHTS, THE LAST FIVE YEARS, RENT - I rarely bother anymore. And if a composer whose work that I didn't like the first time does a "new" show - I still let it be......JRB I am talking to you.

When I bought CAST ALBUM LP's, I could usually find something I liked.....GOLDEN RAINBOW, MAN WITH A LOAD OF MISCHIEF....but no so much with the new CD's.

In other words....I may stick with SMASH in spite of DM.

That is terrible news, DR JRand! Very sad.

What a tragedy!

My wife and I have enjoyed the first 2 episodes of SMASH, though the scene last night between Debra Messing and her son was terrible.

As good as the show is, I will be surprised if it succeeds with the general public.

I only saw the last 30 minutes, so I must have missed that scene DR DRUXY.....but I am sure its awfulness was matched by the final scene with Messing reading her letter to the mother of her [maybe] adopted daughter.

Well, so far anyway, it's doing fine:

NBC's Broadway-themed drama ''Smash'' dropped off as expected from its strong week-earlier premiere but still had enough to lead its hour among young adults on Monday, capping a winning night for the net, whose ''The Voice'' continues to look impressive.
According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, NBC followed up last Monday's post-Super Bowl ratings bonanza with another sweep of the night's half-hours in adults 18-49 (including one tie). As the blind auditions continued on ''The Voice,'' the music competition averaged a strong 5.9 rating/15 share in adults 18-49 and 16.1 million viewers overall , down 12% week to week but an easy timeslot winner over runner-up CBS among adults 18-49 (5.9 vs. 3.6) and the night's No. 1 program across the board. And at 10, ''Smash'' (2.8/7 in 18-49, 8.1 million viewers overall) lost about a quarter of its premiere young-adult audience but prevailed in 18-49 in an hour where NBC was consistently well behind its rivals in the first half of the season.

No I didn't DR JMK - I think I've seen it on TCM.....wonder how Fran and Mr Flynn got along on the radio?

I had completely forgot about SMASH last night--I was watching MAUDE reruns instead. I should be able to catch it on-line somewhere.

I had an unexpected and pleasant meeting w/Dear Larry this afternoon at lunch. He was meeting Anthony for some business and I tagged along and we met at Trader Joe's. While there we purchased a chocolate cake and a can of whipped cream for dessert this evening.

Damn....I keep looking for a LIKE button.

It was great to see DR Ben and anthony, and, since no good deed foes upunished, the trip home was endless crap: screwd up trains constantly stopping in the tunnels, missing an empty bus and waiting fidsteen minutes for a crowded one, and the final insult? Th damned bus wouldn't take a transfer on my metro card so I paid an extra fare.

This is happening far too often: Ican cpount at least four times in the past month the MTA mechanics have screwed up a transfer and charged me twice. Color me really pissed.

Those ratings contain so much spin I'm dizzy and nauseous - tell me the overall ratings for the show and I guarantee you the drop from the first episode will be much larger.

bk · « **Reply #52 on:** February 14, 2012, 10:48:14 AM »

I'm up - I guess I needed to sleep. Now I'm a little behind in the fixes but shall start now and plow through.

I am so sick of the Whitney Huston brouhaha. Just bury her.

Debra Messing will be very upset with you DR ELMORE and DR DtM......I hope she is in a forgiving mood.

Matthew · « **Reply #56 on:** February 14, 2012, 11:24:12 AM »

Does anyone but the producers even look at the ratings? People don't know a damn thing of what's good anymore. Take "Glee" for an example....

elmore3003 · « **Reply #57 on:** February 14, 2012, 11:35:45 AM »

Raquel welch has just outed Stephen Boyd. Maybe he wasn't gay, and just didn't want to have sex with untalented divas?

I just saw the Classical Grammy wins. Judy Sherman, our producer for EILEEN, the Herbert songs and cello/piano music, won best producer this week. I'm really happy for her.

I'm sure that Ms Messing has much more weightier matters on her mind, like her pending divorce from Desi and their upcoming battle over DesiMess studios.
