Well, you've read the notes, the notes were idle and had chatter, and now it is time for you to post until the idle cows come home.

Writers, studios to resume talks
Offering hope of an end to the walkout, the two sides announce that they'll return to negotiations Nov. 26.

By Richard Verrier and Meg James, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers
November 17, 2007

Hollywood's film and TV writers and its major studios have agreed to return to the bargaining table, offering the first glimmer of hope that a deal to end a costly two-week strike could be within reach.

The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said late Friday that they would resume talks Nov. 26 on a new contract for 10,500 writers to replace the one that expired Oct. 31. The two sides announced the plan in identical statements, a rare show of unity.

Hey, no rush. We'll all just fritter away the eight days we have already agreed we could be talking!

Fox News is showing DR Jose's luxury yacht pulling into his private island - maybe they'll have WiFi and he can hook up (to the net, that is).

Sorry to hear about Mr Ronnie Burns. I watched HAPPY when it was first on, it was produced by the folks who did THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE the show with Cleo the talking basset hound.

It was funnier when we heard what the dog thought.

I liked last night's show. but to me it almost feels like there are 2 distinct set of writers. I found last night's mystery much darker than than past 2 weeks. To me it feels like one set of writers are writing last night and about her brother. And some other people are writing the fantastic two episodes we had last week and the week before.

I liked last night's show. But i loved loved the past 2 weeks (which more like Ghost Whisperer of old).

RE: last night's show, i just thought maybe they went too far. I mean having the ghosts inhabit the father/daughter just seemed completely unbelievable to me.

And while the ghosts are often mean, these were the absolute most brutal ghosts i've seen! Did not like them! (the ghosts are usually very sympathetic).

Good Morning!

I was a late becoming a Beatles fan; I was listening to Peter Paul and Mary and found all the Beatles hubub annoying. (I was in 3rd grade when they were on Ed Sullivan.) By 6th grade, I was a big fan of the Monkees, and then finally came around to the Beatles around the time of Sgt. Pepper and was a fan from then on. I also explored their back catalogue, which I'd dismissed earlier. Even as a child I seemed to shun whatever happend to be the most popular and sought out whatever was interesting and esoteric. Later I realized that there was music that could be popular AND good!

Whenever I hear "Hey, Jude" I'm immediately transported to the snack bar in the basement of Bursley Hall, my freshman dorm at Michigan.

When I was in 6th grade, we had a Beatles single (can't remember which one, but probably something from Sgt. Pepper's.) We played this single at least a dozen times and would always go on to play another single. One day we weren't near the record player when it finished and it eventually got to a weird hidden track. I can't really describe the feeling we had when we heard it---in the language of the times, it "freaked us out"! It was the combination of the strangeness of the music, wich was unlike anything we'd ever heard, and the fact that we had already played this record so many time without hearing this. It was one of those moments my brother and I have never forgotten.

RE: last night's show, i just thought maybe they went too far. I mean having the ghosts inhabit the father/daughter just seemed completely unbelievable to me.

The last 5 episodes were all writen by different writers.

The ghosts did not inhabit the father/daughter, they "overlayed" (I think that was the phrase) them - meaning they appeared different to outside observers.

Why is that supernatural manifestation more unbelievable than the other goings on?

Unlikely - Sgt Pepper had no singles released at the time (11 years later a single of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"/"With a Little Help from My Friends"/"A Day in the Life" was released to coincide with the movie).

It's a right wing conspiracy, I tell ya! (der Brucer have you been messing with my HHW password?). I've been trying to log on the last two days and it keeps saying my password is incorrect (the very one I've been using for the past 11 months, thank you very much). I then tried getting the site to send it to me "since I've forgotten" but it said I didn't set up my profile with my "secret" question, so it sent a new password (which didn't work), so I tried again, got a new another new one -- which I hate -- it's this strange combo of like 10 letters and numbers (too friggin' long to type in each time...) I want my old password back -- am I going to have to set start over again by setting up a new account? Might be kind'a fun to start over with a whole new HHW identity...
