Is it the voice in his normal Cali accent that makes JM sound like DD? Like, not the accent so much?
I mean, do you now feel that you know what DD would sound like if he were being Faux Cockney?
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

JM's normal accent drives me nuts. He uses all these "yeah, yeahs" and "uhms" when he can't get his thoughts together, which is frequently. So then he takes off speaking a mile and minute with the yeah-yeah thrown in willy-nilly. As a result, he babbles. Makes him sound brainless, which he isn't. In Spikespeak, he's more deliberate about what he says, so it's slower and deeper. Very easy on the ears. Someone should tell him during his interviewss that TV is TV, you don't have to fill the silences as you do in radio. People will watch you twiddle your thumbs in silence if you make the thumb twiddling interesting looking. Also, it gives you time to think about what you say, so you don't babble.

Angel's replacements next season -- a Jeff Foxworthy comedy, and a Drew Carey improv-with-animation show.
Uh-huh. Bets on how long they last?

There is one good thing about Angel's cancellation. I'll never again have to watch an ad for other WB shows. If I can avoid Fox, now, I'll be an exceedingly happy woman.

Do you watch 24, connie? That's my only FOX show. I don't know if I can give it up next season. I have no WB shows as of 10:01pm, this Wednesday.

My guilty pleasure is Tru Calling. I'm actually hoping it will be renewed. However, if it doesn't, I'll gladly wait for Joss to write something for Eliza.

SailAweigh, have you given Joan of Arcadia a shot? It's my new, guilty pleasure. I'm not even sure I feel guilty, but I think maybe I should.

That lets me out. (Actually I have watched it, and dh used to watch it a long time ago, and I enjoy it when I do. I just never adopted it.)

I tried it Cindy. It just didn't appeal. I'm not much for high school shows. Even the first few seasons of Buffy didn't hold as much interest for me as after she graduated high school.
