What series are you referring to? It sounds interesting.

It is a shame a family can no longer sit together to watch a game without sealzy thrash such as Janet Jackson or "Desperate Housewives."

"24" - Stars Keifer Sutherland. It has been a weekly series on TV for the last 3 years, hopefully again. However, I don't watch the weekly because I so enjoy the rentals. There are 4 on each tape and there will be 6 tapes covering the 24 hr period. All of this series supposedly takes place in a 24 hour period. Each week is a one hour period.

If you rent (ask for the TV series section)- you can start on Season 1-12:00am. Or Season 2 or Season 3. Each is a different crisis.

Keifer plays Jack who works with the agency that handles national security threats (can't remember the name). One season was a nuclear bomb in the U.S., another was a virus.

I found out by recommendation from a friend stating that the only thing he had to see on TV was "24" and he recorded weekly.

You are in for some good, clean, exciting viewing. Remember Lonesone Dove? This rates up there with that IMHO.

If you've never seen the show, but want it condemned based on its commercials......

You may have missed some of my other comments. I choose NOT to watch this show myself, and am confident that market forces will determine it's fate.

I hope that our discussion has given you pause to reconsider what type of entertainment you spend your precious free time with, and its importance to you and your family. Life is too short to spend your time with activities that dumb down one's morals, that serves only to deaden the spirit.

I wish you and your family well.

I spend most of my free time on Free Republic. TV is crap for the most part. I try and watch the local news to see what's going on, but other than the regular Fox lineup (you probably have issues with The Simpsons, King of the Hill, and Malcolm in the Middle), I really don't watch. DH is imo, funny. I've known women like this over the years, and it's fun to sit in my daughter's bedroom and laugh about it.

We aren't that emotionally insecure that we would be influenced by something we see on tv.

Best wishes to you and your family, also :-)

I missed who got killed Sunday.

This show is like the The Revenge Of Joe Schmo which I couldn't understand why men liked it.

My goodness the people in this Desperado Housewives are just horrid! Do women really do things like that?

OK I know it is a TV show like Murphy Brown, but goodness.

So much intrigue and irresponsible behavior, it seem to sell stuff though.

Maybe some people are like this? Or maybe it is a parody like JS...

That money from the Kroc estate has strings attached. It was given with the purpose of establishing a whole new set of community centers in urban areas, IOW, the Salvation Army still needs the money. Naturally, that $1.5 billion made everyone think otherwise, and the Salvation Army donations last year were horrible. Somewhere in the Midwest the kettles came out in the middle of the year 2004.

I'm sure the cleavage mannikins on "Desperate Housewives" will donate the shortfall.

Someone else gets this show? Here I thought I was the only one to see that this is a parody of Dallas, Knots Landing and the daytime soaps. This show has less sex than quite a few other mainstream shows of the 90's, and up to the last couple of episodes was quite well written. I agree with some that it seems to be a one season run purposely. It just doesn't seem as if this show could grow into a new season.
