Now it's thundering, and I'm cold, and wishing I hadn't left one of my windows open at home.

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.
Yes, millions of women might watch to fume over JL Halfwit playing such a character, but I don't think advertisers would want their products to appear in the midst of a show whose chief draw would be the seething hatred the audience feels toward the star.
Millions of others would see the premise and just not bother to ever watch. IJS.
And approximately 8 million of us are bitter that Joan of Arcadia was replaced by it. I get itchy calling women names like halfwit and hugetit though.
Why can't we call women halfwits?
I'd probably be right there with them. The concept worked for a laugh once, with Denise Richards as a tank top-clad nuclear scientist in a Bond movie, but it would have no repeated appeal for me.
I mourn the fact that I'm going to have to watch an hour of her show at some point to see an actor I like as one of the ghosts.
Why can't we call women halfwits?
I don't know. I lost my rationale, but I was on a roll, so I went with it. In this case, maybe it itched this time, because it's so obviously derived from her name, but halfwit and nitwit, etc., also just seem to be used against women more than men, politicians excepted.

Don't think of it as me calling a woman "Halfwit." Think of it as me calling a vapid performer that makes Dan Cortese look like a skilled thespian who's succeeded based on talent alone in comparison 'Halfwit."
I have no issue calling anyone a halfwit that I think is one, even less of one calling someone on my tv that. That said, I'll be watching the first episode of JLH's new show.
I am the last one at work. I had to leave about this time last night and was one of the first gone. tonight all alone. WAH.
