What -t said.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Holy cow. Eartha Kitt is doing a live chat appearance on the Washington Post right now. [link]

Yep. I registered him for Kindergarten, today. He'll be screened in about two weeks time, which will be an interesting preface, to an interesting school year.
Academically, he's where my (bright by any standard) Benjamin was (wrt math and reading) at this time of the year, in first grade. Behavior-wise, it's like he's turning 4 rather than 5. He's also the fluffiest bunny ever, but managed to become quite assertive, at the same time.
I may take up drinking.
Right, Cindy, but I'm thinking of kids a little older, and/or networks that are not known quantities.
That's true. Still, it doesn't seem right to make them pledge to a rating. TV sucks, anyhow.

Yeah, but not for much longer if this guy from Alaska has his way...

Yeah, then it will just be utterly bland and innoccuous. (I hope I spelled that right....)

Heee.
They'll just have to black out the airwaves for those hours, because there isn't anything family friendly to show, in the first place.
I wish there were more all-ages, quality shows with good stories, that I could enjoy with my kids, rather than merely tolerating while they enjoy. But that's a creative thing. It's not what most people want, and it's not what the artists seem to want to be making. Restricting the grown up stuff isn't the right way to get that made. That just pisses off the people who don't want to watch general audience sorts of shows.
If we want to actually enjoy something we're watching with our kids, we rent a video.

Maybe Joss will want to make a general audience show in a few years, when his sprog are older.
Did Kai have baby number two, yet? Does anyone remember when she's due?
