random tv thoughts....

You go gull.;-) Me too and dark haired men are not my cup of tea, but he just looks toooo goood in that movie.

I am clueless about TV with the exception of Monday night. I watch Prison Break and then 24, or I watch the Discovery or Travel Channel.

I am psyched about the new "Planet Earth" premiering this Sunday.
and I really wanted to see "Galapogos" which was supposed to be on last Sunday, but when I looked it for it, no where to be found?

Other than that, I sowal late at night, painting now, or working on a writing project after MANgo goes to sleep.

we are looking forward to this show to mango - should be good in hd...

I can relate. but I am somewhat addicted to NPR.

we also listen to a lot of npr..

We watched The Galapagos last night on National Geographic channel. Wow, it was spectacular! Interesting and beautiful.

I don't know how y'all watch Intervention, it is so personal and so SAD. Just watching 5 min. of it makes me depressed.

I agree. There are times I can't watch either. I've had several close family tragedies similar to these and for some reason, it's therapeutic (I have no idea why). But I've had my son watch a few episodes and he's stated that he'll never do drugs.

I gotta start checking these kinds of shows out more often. I just never know when something is coming on...

i think this is a good idea to have your kids watch it. i agree with dbuck it is very depressing, but i think if more kids saw how low these poor addicts have fallen in life, it might curb their interest in drugs...

BECAUSE most of these kids and young adults in trouble on Intervention are not what our sheltered kids perceive them to be. Most come from stable families. It is depressing but also educational. Even Mr. JR is quite sheltered & naiive.

I guess what bothers me most is how these families can let a camera crew come in and record the whole thing.

Don't know if I could be that open about it either but I think they're trying to educate some? Maybe not tho. Maybe it's for the $$. I do know to begin a true intervention (Hazelden, etc.), some have to take out 2nd mortgages, use their life savings, etc.

Yes, I wondered if the production company was paying for the treatment in lieu of cash payment, I hope this is the case.
