Who of you likes HGTV and such stations?

I do. I'm hooked. Have been for quite some time, now. And to think, back in the early 70s I was hooked on soaps and TV in general. I would watch TV from the time I got up in the morning till I went to bed at night. Now, I watch shows, but it's is noise a lot of the time, turn on the music.

But I do like the home repair/remodeling/fix-it-up shows. A person can get a lot of ideas there! I don't see Decorating Cents any more and I like that show. I don't see Christopher Lowell Show, either, and Carol Duvall, and Trading Spaces. Love those shows. When Trading Spaces lost Paige Davis it just wasn't the same, and then she came back and I caught a few of the shows, and now I don't see it listed on there at all with new shows, and it's hard to find a re-run, too.

On the Christopher Lowell Show I had seen an idea for a family room with computer stations in the middle with floor to ceiling book cases and each computer station was kinda like it's own little work station/lounge but there was also TV and couch and chairs and it was just cool. I keep telling hubby about it and that is what I would like to do in our family room. He can't picture it and I can't find it on the web anywhere. I also would have to make the book cases and I'd need to get new computer desks and oh... RIP OUT THIS CARPETING!! ewwww... I'm gonna go search the web, again, to see if I can find it. I'm SURE it was on the Christoper Lowell Show.

Well, I haven't found that, but I did find the Christopher Lowell website.

I loved the Carol Duvall show, would watch it every chance I got. SO many ideas for crafting, clay work, scrapbooking, card making, jewelry making... all sorts of stuff. Sometimes I can catch a re-run from an old show. One time they had a chat after the show and I went online to the chat room and it was great. I even got to ask Carol a question and she answered it.

I think the networks ought to bring these shows back! YES YES YES How about you, what do you think?

Wee got a Wii !!

Yes, wee did. And it is fun. Seth and his family were over Saturday and we played baseball, and golfed, and helped Dora rescue the Snow Princess, and and and... I didn't do well. LOL

Then we added Wii Fit. ohmy... It isn't hard! But... if you're outashape like me... lol It did call me a couch potato on a couple of things. TRUE!! Or, perhaps, desk chair potato. I'm getting a little better at the balance ones. I've done a couple of yoga exercises and did pretty well with those. The strength ones... pushups.. woa... Gonna have to work on that one. LOL I had to do the 'sissy' pushups and I wasn't good at THOSE. I liked the aerobics ones. The Basic Step is cool and the first time I did the Advanced Steps I was sooooo lost. LOL I did better today. I get tangled up when I add the clapping to the steps. Never could walk and drink pop at the same time, now it's extended to stepping and clapping in time to the music.

If you can manage it... get a Wii! It is fun and it sure beats getting a health club membership and not using it, which I've been known to do. I walked in a bubble down the river! Of course, I didn't get past the island, I crashed. lol Tomorrow is another day.

Commander in Chief.... what happened?

No, I'm not posting about our current Commander in Chief. This is about the television series with Gina Davis.

What happened to that show? Where did it go? I loved it and so did millions of other people.

It was on at a certain time on a certain weekday night and then they started moving it around and dropping nights. I'd jump with anticipation when I saw that it was going to be airing; it was a good show. I had just been reading about how popular the show was, was the best drama of the season, had the highest viewer ratings, and two weeks later it was gone. VOOSH! Vanished.

So, who was afraid of the show that they wanted it off the air? hmmmmm? Wonder if they would bring it back where it left off if we all complained about it loud enough.
