But it still ticks me off that they canceled "Eureka!"

The old vent and rant about eBook formatting and lack of proof reading. I'd rebuy the sodding books as epubs, but they're not available.

Okay, so what's my excuse? Glee is the only thing I watch with any regularity at all. And I watch it the next day via Hulu. (As Chris said, we got rid of DirecTV again... we both refuse to pay what they charge for no more TV than we watch).

*apologies for the seeming non sequitur.. too many posts to quote. And besides, as I recall, BOb likes Glee too
I'm jumping in here, probably in the middle of the discussion, but here goes: I LOVE Glee! Being a singer, I love the music. The only problem is that it has gotten fairly racy (ie., adult themes) for a show that comes on at 8:00 EST and I'm really not comfortable with my 9 year old watching it anymore. It's such a shame since Ryleigh loves the music, too.

As for cable, I don't even want to tell you how much I pay to Comcast each month considering how little TV we actually watch. We do have the phone, Internet, amd cable package but still! Our monthly bill is OUTRAGEOUS!!

At least I 'think' they did. I haven't been able to find any episodes for the past month! I just assumed that it was off the air.

No, as far I know it is the mid season break they do now that irritates me to no end!! I think it is due back in January - not positive though. I've got my DVR set to record it so it'll just show back up one day

But also a few old gems like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes from the 50s; starring Ron Howard (any relation to that Ron Howard?) as Doyle's legendary detective.

Tales of Tomorrow (1951-53) is also worth checking out.

I hope not. They seem to go through long lulls periodically where the don't post new shows of Eureka, then suddenly they're back with a batch of them. I hope that's the case this time.

Although I do wish they'd get back to their original timeline.

Spent 5 hours in the ER with my mom yesterday and boy do I need to rant. I'm pretty sure we were assigned the most incompetent nurse who has ever been in that hospital, and it was accompanied by a snotty superior attitude. She never felt the need to tell me why she was doing something until I got in her face about it (i.e., strolled in and proceeded to get ready to catheterize her without even commenting on it. That did NOT happen.) She completely ruined mom's veins trying to get an iv in, and when she blew the first one she didn't believe that mom was hurting so bad until I dragged her back in and showed her. It was a MISERABLE Halloween.

I hate hate hate incompetence.
