Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving, with some extra special Thanksgiving love to my Two Girls blogger, Jen, because (especially of late) she's kept this blog going. 

Have a safe, warm, and fulfilling Thanksgiving if you are American or living in the U.S., and well, a safe, warm, and fulfilling normal day if you aren't!

More cancelations.

It was announced on Nov 22 that three additional shows have been canceled, one of which I think is one of the best shows on tv. It should be a crime. 'Dirty Sexy Money' and the wonderfully dysfunctional Darlings will no longer grace my Wednesday nights. Boo hoo. Another show with great writing, great characters, and a fab storyline is on the chopping block. What is wrong with people? The additional shows that NBC has announced as canceled is Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies. Private Practice, the Grey's spin-off is moving time slots to Thursday night from Wednesday night. I think that is a good sign that the show will continue as it is now the follow-up to the most popular show on tv, Grey's Anatomy. I anticipate there will be more big studio cuts in the weeks that follow, but hopefully no more of my regular programming will be tinkered with.

To cancel or not to cancel

Last week I was mildly upset at the news that 'lipstick jungle' had been canceled. We have been fans since it premiered last year on NBC and actually look forward to the progressive, successful, sassy and beautiful ladies. The three main characters have wonderful story lines, great wardrobes and drama, drama, drama. So, what's the problem? Why do they not have a fan base? Of all the chickflick books out there, including "Lipstick Jungle" you would think that those loyal readers would also view the tv shows. Guess I am the only one.

Today on people.com I read a story that Brooke Shields said that the show has not yet been canceled. So, what's the deal? Is it canceled, or is it not? Accordingly to the article, the show was guaranteed 13 episodes and they are simply continuing to tape those remaining episodes. I would like to know one way or another if the three women that we tend to send our Friday nights with are in fact, going away into tv heaven.

Guilt and Politics

I am offically a bad blogger. I intended to blog AT LEAST every week, but alas, I have not kept up with my end of the deal. I do love tv, and I do watch too much. I just need to type more.

Less than a week ago I was watching the election results, counting up electorial votes, red/blue states and biting my nails. Happily, it seemed to end early around 10pm central time...no hanging chads, recounts or shadiness. I, once again, am proud to be an American, it has been awhile. Although, even as a midwest girl, I am vastly disappointed in the citizens of California and the crazy power of crazy christians. What does gay marriage have to do with heterosexual marriage? It's about equality and second-class citizens. But, I digress.

I am currently watching "Dancing with the Stars" as I type this, and I am so glad that the remaining duos can actually dance. After this, will be Gossip Girl, which I am LOVING this season. I heard rumors that Jenny's character is being groomed for a break-off show. Not loving the crazy black eye make-up or prep girl turned grunge, but I love the storyline. I still feel like it is too mature for a highschool show and I am not sure how I feel about my much younger sibs watching it, but in this case, bad is good. (btw, who in high school was clubbing at martini bars?)

VOTE

Because it is finally Election Day in the United States, and because the election will be covered on television, then consider this your twogirlsinlove friendly public service message: PLEASE VOTE.

Oh, and believe in hope.  I know we do around here.
