Now that was a series finale that left an aweful bad taste in my mouth. I loved Angel!
Has anyone heard good or bad news about the new upcoming series coming on tnt called the closer starring Kyra Sedgwick? I think it will be good.
There are a couple more mid season series starting that are mature rating as well, dark and kinda like the profiler.

I see ILB is very much like me and when we watched the grudge it was hilarious cause the kiddo who started off on another couch ended up right next to me while I was hiding behind Z. She got smushed!

Today I watched a movie on fx that I still don't know the name of. It was about a 10 year high school reunion starring terri hatcher and laura flynn boyle and lots of other recognizable faces. We missed the beginning and it really didn't matter cause it was bubblegum in a breakfast club sorta way. Did any of you all see it or at least know what the name of the movie is? I laughed my butt off due to the fact that I could have attended this reunion and I would have fit right in. Then afterwards there was Something about mary! Oh my goodness it made me LMAO a couple times, most due to the outrageousness of it. Z says I should see it uncut to get the full effect. But a birds eye view of the beens and franks may take away from my movie experience.

Today I was watching a blank screen due to power outages...I don't know if the power companies are just upgrading of what, but it sucks to sleep past the alarm because the power went out in the middle of the night! To think of it why would they upgrade in the middle of the night? Sometimes I wonder if I could survive 80 years ago. I honestly think I wouldn't have lasted through my childhood. Baths in a bucket and outhouses...Oh no thank you... I'm too spoiled for all that!

80 years ago.... My grandmother's phone was still on a party line when I was 9 years old. She had an outhouse until I was 14. When we stayed all night with her we had to pee in a pot because we were too scared to use the outhouse that was out by the chicken coop. We bathed in these big metal tubs out in the yard. I haven't even hit 50 yet. Of course, she had electricity so they weren't all that primitive.

OMG, I have peed in one of those silly pots too, Jox'....to keep from going out in the middle of the night to an outside toilet where you were likely to encounter any number of night creatures lurking either along the way or in the stupid stall....AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!

If nobody minds me changing the subject Watched the first half of an excellent two part British show the other night called The Commander, starring Amanda Burton, from the Silent Witness T.V. series, and written by Lynda La Plante, who also wrote the excellent Prime Suspect [ Helen Mirren ] series. Quite similar to Prime Suspect, with Burton's character appointed to a high position within the police force, which puts a lot of noses out of joint, and several members work to undermine her position, while also attempting to cover up their own participation in a raid that went horribly wrong.

Thanks, buddy....it kept getting worse & worse......lol....perhaps we should start a thread of "Harrowing Hardships".... ...this could include trips to the outhouse, pee pots, walking to school barefoot in the snow....etc....

Kat: You mean to tell me that you want to post about a show you are watching in the what you are watching thread! Oh My... Your show sounds like I would like it. Here they started a new series called the Inside, and it is a police drama much like profiler used to be. I have only seen an ep and a half and IMO they need to get some major character chemistry soon or I for one will stop tuning in.

Yeah, bit of a spoilsport aren't I, that other subject was pretty fascinating. Yep, The Commander was great, hope the second part [ Sunday night ] is as good. Really liked Profiler, thought Ally Walker was excellent in the lead role, but lost interest when she left, her replacement in the final season certainly lacked charisma I thought. P.S. Have you seen the telemovie When the Bough Breaks, in which Walker plays a profiler, which was probably the pilot for the series, although her character had a different name. Excellent film, one of the best t.v. movies i've ever seen, with some very strong content, and superb performances from Walker and Martin Sheen.

I was not happy when Ally left the show. Neither was I happy when Linda Hamilton left Beauty and the Beast... Instead of killing Catherine off, I wish they had found a look-alike and replaced Linda with her. They do it in soaps all the time, so why not prime time shows?

Guess it depends on the replacement though Jox. The one who took over from Ally Walker on Profiler [ Jamie Luner ] was so bland in my opinion that they did the right thing in cancelling the show. I think Linda Hamilton would have been a hard act to follow as well, but it's worked before, so you never know. I thought at the time that David Caruso left NYPD Blue that he would leave a huge gap, but Jimmy Smits slotted it really well. I'm still waiting for the last season of Monk to see how it works without Sharona [ Bitty Schram ] in it, got my fingers crossed.

I didn't like Ally's replacement much either... but if they had kept the character and changed actresses it might have had a better chance. Catching Jack is truly what ended the show. IMHO

Thought it had a great atmosphere of impending doom myself, and as I said, great performances from Walker and Sheen, though I forgot to mention Tara Subkoff as Jordan Thomas/Jennifer Lynn Eben, who was also excellent.
