Good morning!

Another perfectly beautiful day here, and temps are going to be in the low 70s. This is going to be a great May day!

Gosh, I can't believe after DR Mcihael Shayne went through all that Oscar trivia about BECKET and the 1964 Oscars, he didn't correct BK on his error in the notes.

Anthony Quinn did not win the Best Actor Oscar in 1964; Rex Harrison did for MY FAIR LADY.

Anthony Quinn never won a Best leading actor Oscar. Both of his awards were for supporting roles.

Definitely THE LION IN WINTER (Hepburn/O'Toole version, not the remake with Patrick Stewart and Glenn CLose) would rank as my favorite historical film.

I look forward eagerly to BECKET since I haven't seen it in decades, but the two times I did see it, I loved it.

I have several hours of TV from last night to catch up with today: COLD CASE, WITHOUT A TRACE, THE SOPRANOS, ENTOURAGE, RENO 911, and THE TUDORS. I realized late last night that I haven't gotten around to watching Thursday night's SCRUBS yet. I could have watched it last night waiting for DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES to start, and I had forgotten all about it.

MORE TAR SPOILERS from last night's show.

*

*

DR Dan you said exactly what i was thinking!  It just shows you how much danielle held eric back. They never won a single leg. To me that is just ridiculous.  Did you hear julie chen on the Early show today saying how deserving they were?

Eric was very obnoxious. Danielle was very whiny.  But they were almost eliminated a bunch of times.  At least charla and mirna did finish first a few times like you said.

It just bugs me because the winner of allstars is supposed to be the best.  Although i suppose when you don't even start with so many of the best teams you can't really have the best team win. I would have had only the best most competitive teams. Not necessarily only those who won. There were plenty of good teams who did not win in their years.

Sorry i got you started.

But actually i am not as unhappy with the winners (who did okay last night) as i am with the way they did the last leg. Any joker could have won the only deciding task.

Oh and before i sign off i just wanted to comment on last week's GHOST WHISPERER which i just watched yesterday.

I usually enjoy this show. But they really know how to do their season finales.  I was mesmerized and in tears at last year's plane crash so.  And i was equally interested in this week's show (i guess it was part one of two).

I could not figure out anything that was going to happen. And I was frightened, upset and completely into every minute.

I cannot wait to see what happens on may 11th. OMG!

Too late!  You got me started!

I'm unhappy, too,  with the way this final episode was laid out.  For one thing, it was only an hour.  All previous finales were two hours.  Does this mean CBS has grown that disenchanted with TAR's ratings performance that it's no longer worthy of a two hour time slot?  To be honest, the tasks involved did not seem to require two hours of coverage, but overall it did seem rushed.

And that final task--after some initially trying to deduct the answers, it looked to me that all three just tried randomly changing the codes.  Danielle got lucky.

After watching TAR (on Tivo delay) I caught the last fifteen minutes or so of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES.  I haven't been following the show much at all this year, but I knew enough of Susan's storyline to go "Awwwww..." at that final moment.

It was an "Awwwww moment" and one that fans of the show have been anxiously awaiting all season.

BEING GREEN ISN'T EASY - OR CHEAP!


Going green with pricey reusable grocery bags

Quote
The Silky Pop Hermes bag has a price tag of $960, and will go on sale in the U.S. this summer. Made of hand-wrought silk, it collapses into a wallet-size pouch of calfskin. Castiglioni's foldable nylon bag retails for $843. The Stella McCartney organic canvas shopper sells for $495.

Whatever will the bag laddies do?

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up...

And it seems we have a couple of "early morning denizens" - as opposed to the usual "late night" ones in our midst now.

DR Matt, did you catch the preview of the new series coming up on ABC called WHO IS WILL TRAVELLER (or something like that)?  It's about a group of friends who are framed for a terrorist act by another friend who was not who he seemed to be.  I could have sworn that this show came and went already, and yet it hasn't premiered yet?

Maybe I'm having Deja Vu...

As for the Topic of the Day...


"A Man For All Seasons" - I went to St. Thomas More Elementary School, so we watched this once - if not twice - a year.  Kind of pretty heady stuff - pardon the pun - for 10-year olds.

1776

And a couple of others I know will pop into my head throughout the day.

DR elmore - Since I have some things to take care of this afternoon, I'll be attending the 7:00 reading tonight.  Maybe I'll pass you on 42nd Street.

I have seen the previews, but if it has premiered yet, I haven't seen it. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to watch this. It's an intriguing premise, but I just haven't read anough about ABC's intentions for the show to have decided yet about investing my time in a new show.

Which two DRs would make up the "ideal" TAR Team?


God knows, that if I ended up getting on the show, I'd spend the whole time checking out the local bakeries.  ;D
