And was anything more infectiously joyful than the Dr. Pepper commericals with David Naughton

He was very cute in that commercial. 

He "was", wasn't he!  And it was a nice contrast to his final scenes in "American Werewolf in London".   :D

LOL-I missed that one.

I've read in another forum that NBC has renewed CHUCK and MEDIUM (plus LAW AND ORDER and SOUTHLAND).

I posted yesterday that it looked like CHUCK and MEDIUM would be renewed today.

But I don't believe that has happened yet.

"Don't you think it needs a little salt?"

"Mother, please!  I'd rather do it myself!"

Sure you have a headache.  But why take it out on her?  Take Anacin.....


I think of this commercial everytime I am around my mother.

I've read in another forum that NBC has renewed CHUCK and MEDIUM (plus LAW AND ORDER and SOUTHLAND).  This has probably already been noted here, but it was "new" to me.

That is NOT what VARIETY posted earlier today. They said that no definite decision had yet been made in regard to CHUCK, LAW & ORDER, MEDIUM, or MY NAME IS EARL though they did think LAW & ORDER would likely get a half season pickup and MEDIUM was probably going to happen once they determined how many episodes they'd need.

NBC is committed to six new shows next season (not counting Jay Leno's new 10 p.m. variety hour M-F). That doesn't leave a lot of room on their schedule for all of those shows when one figures in the shows alreadyrenewed..

Now, that was a 11 a.m. It could have changed since I last read the report. After I leave HHW in a bit, I'll go back to VARIETY and see if there are any updates.

Tonight's ratings will be very imporatnt for CASTLE. It will have the DANCING WITH THE STARS lead-in, so if it can make a decent showing with that large an audience, ABC may bump it up for another season. If the ratings are mediocre tonight, I fear it's a goner.

I decided I would take the day off, and it was a good decision since I didn't get any Blu-rays in the UPS delivery. (At least not yet. UPS has been known to be as late as 6:30).

I watched last night's THE TUDORS when I got in from lunch. I enjoyed the show like always. A lot of these characters I'm not certain about in Henry's history, so much of this (if it's based on fact) is new to me. Nice not knowing ahead of time what is going to happen.

Then I continued with LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME that I started last night. I watched up through "I'll Never Stop Loving You," one of the most beautiful ballads Doris Day ever sang. How tragic that it was pitted against "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" at the Oscars.

I wish my tv viewing counted.  I didn't think much of the pilot, however with each episode I find Castle (the lead character) more lovable & funny.

I posted yesterday that it looked like CHUCK and MEDIUM would be renewed today.

But I don't believe that has happened yet.

I always loved the Alka-Seltzer "No matter what shape your stomach's in..." commercials.

I don't remember those commercials at all. The Alka-Seltzer commercials that everyone seemed to think were so hilarious were the "I CAN'T BELIEVE I ATE THE WHOLE THING" commercials. I mean I thought they were amusing, but not as hilarious as everyone else in my neighborhood did.

Thanks for the Cue list, DR DAW.  I was thinking about buying that album for my LA MANCHA lobby display....but I think I will pass.....

What about commercials that would be considered terribly politically incorrect by today's standards? The one that springs to mind is for Calgon water softener with the Caucasian customer asking the Chinese dry cleaners owner how he gets the clothes so clean, and his response is, "ancient Chinese secret." I don't think that would make it on the air today.

Tonight we are working on fight choreography with Fred and Lilli, singing "Bianca" and seeing the choreography for "Too Darn Hot" - which I have a feeling will look very much like a dance recital with a few pole dancers and strippers thrown in.....I hope I am wrong.....

I had really changed my mind about the team I wanted to support in TAR until they showed the preview for next week.  Victor & Tammy have really run a good race, but Margie & Luke have overcome his handicap to get a lot further than they might have.

I guess I will root for Margie & Luke, because the teams spent so much time in China (where Victor and Tammy knew the language) - that it was ALMOST an unfair advantage.

Latest from my 80 something church going widder-lady friend in CA:

A man is driving down a deserted stretch of highway when he notices a sign out of the corner of his eye....It reads:

SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION
10 MILES

He thinks this is a figment of his imagination and drives on without second thought....

Soon he sees another sign which reads:

SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION
5 MILES

Suddenly he begins to realize that these signs are for real and drives past a third sign saying:

SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS
HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION
NEXT RIGHT

His curiosity gets the best of him and he pulls into the drive. On the far side of the parking lot is a stone building with a small sign next to the door reading:

SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS

He climbs the steps and rings the bell. The door is answered by a nun in a long black habit who asks, 'What may we do for you ! my son? '

He answers, 'I saw your signs along the highway and was interested in possibly doing business....'

'Very well my son. Please follow me.' He is led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented. The nun stops at a closed door and tells the man, 'Please knock on this door.'

He does so and another nun in a long habit, holding a tin cup answers the door... This nun instructs, 'Please place $100 in the cup then go through the large wooden door at the end of the hallway.'

He puts $100 in the cup, eagerly trots down the hall and slips through the door pulling it shut behind him.

The door locks, and he finds himself back in the parking lot facing another sign:

GO IN PEACE.
YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS.
SERVES YOU RIGHT, SINNER!
