Posted by: haro1d Ooh! It’s Peyton! Woohoo! Yes, it’s the OTH season premiere and Lucas and Peyton went to Vegas and spent the rest of the episode not getting married. Maybe they’ll propose to each other for the rest of the season. Brooke and her mom continue havin’ it out as only mom and Brooke can. Skills and Nathan’s mom are still makin’ the beast with two backs behind everyone’s backs. Mouth and Millicent are goin’ to Omaha. Dan Scott got hit and was nearly killed by … Nanny Carrie! (My wife, immediately afterward: “They’re gonna get together — evil […]

By Elaine B First off, thanks to my brilliant DVR for catching this week’s episode at 2am Saturday when our local station decided to air it, since it had been cut for an NFL pregame. This is not odd. This is not indicative of the show’s future, but other things are. What is of greater concern for fans hoping for a Season 2 is that the storylines are moving toward resolution – and quite nicely – making it unclear what would be left for next year. And once again, the nicest and best-grounded couple on the show are Tom and […]

By Elaine B Back in my early employment days, I landed a job at a small business publication. To be fair, the same cuteness factor that kept me from driving a bus landed me this one. It was not in journalism, my field, but in sales, which I truly hate, but any job is better than none. I had a small windowless office and without warning, on about day two of my employment, a heavyset older man wandered in, sat down, closed the door, lit a cigar and said, “Has anyone ever told you that you have a beautiful bosom?” […]

By Elaine B Those of us who came of age in the late ’60s and early ’70s were part of the “accommodating generation.” First, we accommodated our what-will-the-neighbors-think ’50s parents until we broke free and went far away to college where we could accommodate ourselves for a change.

Then the most turbulent generation of the last century settled down and heaved a big sigh of relief that we had survived the mess and went on to become […]

Submitted by KiKi Vanderhousen It wasn’t a coincidence that A&E aired the Intervention In-Depth® episode “Heroin Hits Home” narrated by Donnie Wahlberg hours prior to Meet the Joneses. “Heroin Hits Home” is about some kids in a Boston suburb who start off taking OxyContin and eventually graduate to Heroin because it’s a similar high but it’s cheaper. It’s a very well done episode. You can’t help feeling sympathetic for the parents of these kids who go through this addiction. You also get some background on OxyContin and why it’s known as “Hillybilly Heroin.” I remember when I first heard of […]

By ElaineB Near the end of the latest episode of Swingtown, Janet, in shock at what she’d discovered in a single night, confesses to Tom that “I can’t be that kind of woman.” She doesn’t mean loose, though that is a part of it. She means wild, sexy, free. Tom says she underestimates herself, she is a beautiful woman. Then he kisses her. A friend watching the scene with me raised his fist in the air. “Tom kicks ass!” he said. “He’s so smooth … like a white Billy Dee Williams.” Yes, Grant Show fans, the former Melrose Place star […]
