I would probably watch "Grey's" but I have Netflix and Big Cable and so have not acquired the habit. But I am strung out for "Sopranos" even though I think it jumped the shark(slept with the fishes?) last fall. Chase has made me his bitch. And they're shooting the Wire, right now, and I hope it's FG. To me it will be because Simon likes urban carrots, but, you know, empirically,

You guys posted 55 messages while I was off figuring out geometrical interpretations of quadratic formulae. That's sort of depressing, as that took much longer than necessary. Also, I see that for once I might have actually known about House during the time it was on, but no. History of Math homework.

(By the way, I totally figured it out, too. It involves a gnomon. You all wish you were me.)

erika, Grey's has the beauty and delivery that is all about Sandra Oh who is my new idol. She lives in the neighborhood where I work and I keep hoping I'll go to KP Deli and bump into her.

She was awesome in "Sideways". Signed, liked ER better before everyone shagged.

Okay, I think I'm starting to get stuck on House. It can be a tad anvilicious, but I enjoy all the diagnosing. And House's ability to snark keeps me coming back.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

This only has sense for Wire fen. The rest of you may speak among yourselves.

If I'd known there were gnomes in math, it might have kept my interest longer.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I want to see a sequel called Room. And then one called Corridor. And all the way down to Rolled-Up Newspaper In A Septic Tank.

They're what make the maths work. Every time you've said to yourself "Carry the 1"? They're the carriers.

So when you get the wrong answer, it's not because you made a mistake, it's shiftless gnomes.

Sandra Oh and Virginia Madsen were the only redeeming parts of Sideways.

Everyone screws in Grey's Anatomy. But the show is rarely about medicine and mostly about relationships.
