Compelling T.V.

1. Oprah show today had the families of the 2 boys that were found after being kidnapped in Missouri. Only time I've watched the Oprah show without flipping channels so that I don't forget to come back. The older boy spoke with O. and boy was it sad. The horrors he must have gone through one can only imagine. Must see show for parents out there. Your kids are not safe!

2. '24' is back with a bang. I think the reason this show is so great is because all this stuff can truly happen. Suicide bombers, nuclear weapons, clueless president, etc. We can all relate. Could you believe it when Jack shot & killed Curtis?!

3. How about the 'Grey's' feud between O'Malley & Dr. Burke? Do you think Burke will be fired? Well, for those of you who haven't kept up, allow me to fill you in......after the Golden Globes this past Monday, some reporter asked the cast if they had put behind them the whole incident of Burke calling O'Malley a faggot (which led to his real life 'coming out'). Here goes Burke, "I did not call T.R. (O'Malley's real name) a faggot!" You should have seen the expressions on everybody else's faces...open up ground, swallow me now. Anyways, the following day, O'Malley went on The Ellen Show and stated that Burke really did call him a faggot. There's already a "Fire Isaiah Washington" petition online right now with about 9,000 signatures. I'll be surprised if he makes it past this season.

4. 'Apprentice' is so boring! Somebody at NBC ought to be fired for the idea of a tent for the losers. Small wonder that team keeps losing...exhausted from the coyote howls keeping them up at night. Then the reward last week was a visit to the Playboy mansion! Huh? How will Hugh Heffner help these women climb up the corporate ladder? Also the winning team's project manager goes in the board-room to help The Donald fire somebody. Talk about folks who don't have anything intelligent to say. Caaaarrooline.....Geeooooorge.....where are you?
