Did anyone watch Men of a Certain Age?   (The TV show, that is...)

I found it only moderately appealing, but I'm willing to give it a few more episodes.  The DH wasn't quite so generous.... (I had to finish the pilot on my own)         

[DAW]

Perhaps after DR MBarnum has exhausted the Bollywood genre, he can explore THIS!!!

we watched the first 10 minutes.  so far we are not sure we shall return, have only saved it because of you.  i've been waiting to read comments here.

We lasted twice as long as Jane and Keith, but will not be returning.  I really wanted to like it, DR Edi, sorry.

[DAW]

Hmmm....    I may just have to tape SNL this week!         

[Jane]

...
Ginny the words of encouragement from Richard are a great help.  Did he surpass the expected recovery of arm mobility or was that always expected to return?

Jane, to be honest, he was more diligent with the PT after the surgery on his right shoulder than he was after the left.  Guess which one has better mobility now?

no, not the left?  how much mobility does he have in eack shoulder?

ginny did you see my question?

[Jrand73]

DR DAW that is the strangest thing I have ever seen.

[Jrand73]

I did not watch MEN last night.

DR Jane - sorry I did see your question then got distracted.  Of course, it's his right shoulder that healed more fully because he stuck with the PT longer.  His left is much better than before the surgery, but he can tell the difference.  The PT makes ALL the difference.

[DAW]

that is the strangest thing I have ever seen.

And that's saying something!         

[Jane]

i'm soooo relieved the pt side is the best   how long was he in pt for?  i thought the script was initially once a week and very happy to learn it is twice a week.  i forgot to ask what it will be after a month is up.  i'm being very good about my home stretches.  i need to stretch my ham-strings in order to bend over farther to dangle the shoulder lower.  i'm presuming richard did/does this stretch.

[Ginny]

Neither of us can remember exactly how long the PT went on, but Richard says it was basically controlled by our insurance company.  They determine the number of visits you can have in a time period, but the at-home work is just as important.  He said, "Tell her to do exactly what they tell her to do!"

[JoseSPiano]

Hmmm....    I may just have to tape SNL this week!         

HA!

And I'm guessing you've already bought the current issue of "Men's Health" too?

*Sadly, this week's episode has the potential to be truly dreadful - which is what usually happens after a pretty good week.  Now, of course, if he's just on stage shirtless the whole show and does some push-up every now and then, well... 

**I'm also wondering if SNL is going to allow any of the "under 18" crowd in for this week's taping.  God knows it's probably going to add to the Holiday madhouse of Rockefeller Center.

[JoseSPiano]

As for "Men of a Certain Age"...

A TV-reviewer friend of mine told me that the pilot was OK.  He said it truly comes off as a pilot, but he really liked the next two(?) episodes.  So, keep tuning in.

i'm doing it.  please tell richard thank you.

I also thought GLEE was most excellent last night with good musical numbers.

I also really enjoyed last night's episode. But it sort of bugged me that they did not show them announce the winner.

Also a) why do the cheerleaders wear their custumes all day long at school? and b) why do they make up new numbers for sectionals every show (wouldn't they pick these way in advance and practice?)

My rant would be about prosecutors never keeping their word.  You reach an oral agreement, talk to your client, act on the fact that you have an agreement then when you get it in writing it's completely different and the response is always, well, yes, I agreed with you but my supervisor said we can't do that.   The latest one was the supervisor telling me over five different times he'd join in a motion I was filing.  I filed the motion and a week later he said "just wanted to give you a heads up that I won't be joining the motion after all" .    It drives me crazy!

That would bug the crap out of me too.

Maybe you should just carry a recording device with you and after they make the deal just remind them you have it all on tape!

A) Wearing cheerleader "costumes" all day at school is nothing new, especially during football/cheer season.  -I also sense that it was more of a Sue Sylvester directive than anything else. -Also a directorial choice to visualize the "cool kids".

B) It's a TV show.  *And if they didn't come up with new numbers each show, there would have not been enough music to fill up the "Music of "Glee", Vol. 2" which just came out - and only a few weeks after Vol. 1 dropped. 

[JoseSPiano]

DR Jennifer - Also remember, that they somehow had full backing tracks, band charts and lighting cues for their new songs - and learned them and choreographed them on the spot too!

[JoseSPiano]

DR DAW - Nice horn.

[Jennifer]

My rant is why do some stores advertise specials in their flyers and then when you get there (on the first day of the sale) they act as if you are crazy.

They not only don't have the item. But they have to spend time looking all over the store. Then they look in the back of the store.  Then they ask other clerks. And then when you remind them it is the first day of the sale they say, "well sometimes these things happen".

To complement(?) the picture that DR DAW posted above, here's a pic of the HUNKY SANTA[url] from the Beverly Center in Los Angeles:

A) I get that they want us to know who is who. And it is sort of cute to see the cheerleaders in custume. But is it really like that at any school. I never would have thought that. These kids have been wearing those outfits every day since last may!  I would have thought that they would change into them just for cheer pratice.

B)I understand that they have to show the tv viewer new numbers each show. I was just wondering if it was supposed to make sense. It's fun to watch. But seems so odd. i would have thought they would have been practicing the same numbers for the whole year! I'm not sure how they could have explained showing us the new numbers. I guess it just seemed really odd to me!

[Jennifer]

Speaking of cds has anyone bought/heard the new Adam Lambert cd?

A) Yes, cheerleaders wear their uniforms at school during school hours.

B) It wasn't really supposed to make sense.  However, competitive show choirs always have a full program of music ready - at least 45 minutes worth.

Also keep in mind that even though the pilot aired back in May, the "semester" only really started in the Fall, in September.  They've only been "in school" for one semester, three months.  The Regionals will take place in the spring semester... And that will start to air in April.  -Otherwise, Quinn would have already had her baby by "now".

They may film someone's "life" for a television show.

However, a television show is not someone's "life".  Too many edits.
