We had to...Maureen,<BR/><BR/>I don't have cable or dish. We had to give them up several years back due to the expense. With me being too sick to work (unless I someday find a way to monetize my blog and help with family income!), we're living on my husband's income... So it's network TV only in this house. With my out-of-control medical expenses, cable and dish are just impossible for us...<BR/><BR/>I enjoy watching Brothers and Sisters. I think all families have some level of dysfunction... and despite the dysfunction of the characters on "B&S", they all love each other dearly and stick together as a family when the chips are down.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I also like Dancing With The Stars. I understand their outfits can be skimpy but, like you, I appreciate the fact that the dancers truly cheer each other on. Also, I think I live vicariously through them. Since my illnesses make dancing like the show's dancers impossible... it's fun to at least watch them do it... especially because 1/2 of each couple are not experienced dancers and they work so hard at it.<BR/><BR/>I never watched Grey's Anatomy until last season. Last year, it was on a special night once and I got hooked. So, like Laurie, I occasionally watch Grey's...<BR/><BR/>I can never remember when House is on because I rarely channel surf to Fox but I do like watching mystery patients on "House". I can so relate!<BR/><BR/>I like Ugly Betty too.<BR/><BR/>Be well,<BR/><BR/>Jeanne<BR/><BR/>P.S. With network channels only (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, and Fox)... I had a hard time giving up the satellite dish at first. However, my husband and I have become huge fans of the public library down the street... They have <I>TONS</I> of DVDs that keep us busy. While we may not order "new" movies via remote control/satellite dish anymore, we can get the movies just as quickly at the library and it's free! So we watch movies more than regular TV shows... We hunt for comedies first at the library (because we really need to laugh with our crazy lives!) but we use dramas to fall back on. It keeps us entertained on the rare occasion we get to watch TV. I used to watch much more TV and I do miss doing that... but life sometimes throws us into different schedules. I do look forward to the few shows I follow now that fall shows will be on, though. I really like Brothers and Sisters!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454649048120118507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22275469461351847.post-80153470699653034132008-09-17T18:08:00.000-04:002008-09-17T18:08:00.000-04:00Well, I am a huge Lost and Weeds fan, and am also ...Well, I am a huge Lost and Weeds fan, and am also known to indulge in some Grey's. <BR/><BR/>But I mainly wanted to stop by and say how nicely things are coming alon over here!<BR/><BR/>Welcome!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392908564921877962noreply@blogger.com
