Loony Limbaugh

I live in Mazoorah. I've seen the commercial that Michael J. Fox did in support of stem cell research. I applaud his courage and commitment to a cause he believes in.

Rush Limbaugh had the audacity to say that Michael was “faking it” when he had tremors and shaking during the commercial. Hello? That is what Parkinson’s DOES to the human body!

I’ve often disagreed with Mr. Limbaugh’s opinions, and I thought he was hypocrite to have lambasted drug addicts as “weak” when we learned that he himself was addicted to pain medication.

But to accuse someone who is suffering such a debilitating infirmity, of faking the symptoms, is disgusting and appalling.

Rush, you’re gonna regret that statement (many statements I imagine LOL) when your day of judgement comes. Rush’s faux apology was as disgusting as his original statement. To say he had never seen Mr. Fox show any symptoms of his disease shows not only a callous heart, but an uneducated mind, as Michael J. Fox appeared before Congress and was clearly displaying the symptoms during his testimony.

Grey's Friday

Last night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy

There weren't many medical emergencies on this week's episode of "Grey's Anatomy." Instead, a different kind of tension rippled through the halls of Seattle Grace Hospital.

In tightly written scenes that gave much of the cast chances to shine, the doctors struggled with psychological threats rather than corporeal ones. Comic moments were few.

Bailey, Burke, Derek and Izzie each faced down their demons. Although they still seemed broken as the episode ended, each character emerged the stronger for it.

While attending a monthly meeting where the staff discusses patients' deaths, the interns watched Bailey suffer a harsh grilling at the hands of other doctors. The subject: the interns' complicity in Denny Duquette's death and Bailey's failure to control them.

The grilling left Bailey shaken, wondering whether motherhood has dulled her ability as a doctor. But some soul-searching and a pep talk/apology from the Chief reinvigorated her. By the episode's end, she found the strength to counsel a similarly self-doubting mother ("Six Feet Under" alum Justina Machado) who was suffering from breast cancer.

Burke, still experiencing hand tremors, was drafted to handle emergency heart surgery. He struggled through the operation his first since being shot with a major assist from Cristina.

Burke's tremors remain a secret. As his hand faltered, Cristina asked permission to finish stitching the patients' heart. Onlookers were surprised Burke agreed. But they seemed to assume he'd made this unorthodox move simply because Cristina is his girlfriend.

Burke also confronted Izzie, who repeatedly swore she's doing fine and claimed she'd come to the hospital only to clean out her locker. (She was nearly manic, telling everyone within earshot about the $8.7 million check. Trouble was, she couldn't bring herself to deposit it, knowing the money would make reclaiming her career even harder.)

When she arrived at Burke's office, he bristled at her words of apology. "You have two good hands and you aren't using them. Feel guilty about that," he hissed.

Izzie watched in awe as Cristina stitched the heart and it prompted her to finally see the Chief. He's ready to take her back, so expect to see Izzie in scrubs very soon.

As for Derek, his divorce was proceeding amicably until Addison blurted out that her affair with Mark wasn't just a one-night stand. "I want never to see you again," Derek told her. He walked away looking shattered.

Unfortunately, Meredith chose precisely that moment to tell Derek she dumped Finn. To her dismay, what should have been great news barely registered on Dr. McDreamy's chiseled face.

Deathwatch Fall 06

What TV Shows will die?

October 9. 2006
An exciting Monday for TV watchers.

Going into the weekend, DeathWatchers had written in to tell us that “Justice” was pulled from its Wednesday night spot, and were wondering if it had been cancelled.
TVWeek.com is reporting that actually, Fox pulled “Justice” to make room for their new game show “The Rich List” wherein contestants … really, who cares?

“Justice” sits at number 8 on the DeathWatch (odds are 29:1). Fox will now show it on Monday nights at 9pm.

Meanwhile, the much-bemoaned “Vanished” has been bumped from that same Monday night spot and moved to … oh dear, Friday nights. This is the DeathWatch equivalent of being moved into intensive care. A lot of shows go to Friday night to die. Perhaps Fox is planning an end to the possibly-ironically-named show.

“The Class” on CBS took another dip to land at number four on the Deathwatch this morning. CBS believes in “The Class,” and is trying to protect it, but there's no getting away from those sadly disappointing ratings.

Meanwhile, DeathWatch "first to go" pick -- “Men in Trees” came in third for the hour on Friday night. It scored a 2.1 rating, and finished behind both "Dateline NBC" and “Close to Home” on CBS. The ratings for the Anne Heche dramedy have begun to reflect the DeathWatch odds (3:1).
So when will it go?

Our office gossip here at BBCancelled.com is all about an article at Broadcasting and Cable, which had some interesting tidbits about “Friday Night Lights.”

Over the past week, the small-town football drama climbed to number 15 on the Deathwatch. It made its way up from number 13 last Monday. NBC has faith in “Lights,” with plans to show the first three episodes during their “Sunday Night Football” hiatus. (Odds of cancellation 99:1)
We’ve gotten a lot of interesting comments on the community board this weekend, that you can check out here.

Keep watching, keep voting, keep trying to win a video iPod! Four have been won! Will you be next?

Fall Line Up

By Dayelle Brown
Issue date: 10/5/06 Section: Entertainment

It's that time again ?- time for the fall line up. Every year, network primetime tries to lore in viewers with new favorites, oldies, plot twists and must see previews. This season is no different. With special sneak previews at each network's corresponding Web site, contests and spoilers popping up in blogs all over the internet, the television experience has come full circle.

The merge between UPN and the WB11, forming the new CW channel, has left nothing to be desired. Old favorites from both networks have returned, as well as new promising shows.

These include "America's Next Top Model" where the girls grow more exotic with each new season and "One Tree Hill," in which each episode leaves you wondering, what more can happen in such a small town?

On Tuesdays, we have the return of the teenage and female Dick Tracey, "Veronica Mars" and more girly fun with the "Gilmore Girls." And after it's much publicized final season, we have the pleasure of "7th Heaven" returning.

The newer instant classics include a show called "Runaway," which is about a man uprooting his family to evade the police. Why are the police chasing after him you ask? You have to watch to find out. We can't forget Clark Kent and the return of "Smallville" and the eerie "Supernatural."

On other networks we have cult classics such as "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC, which features love- hate relationships between doctors and patients. Also on this channel is the hit series, "LOST" where we see more of "the monster" this season.

New series on NBC seem promising, with the premiere of the show "Heroes" which is about ordinary people waking up one morning and not being so ordinary anymore.

It's like a blend between "X-men" and "Spiderman," with a hint of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

With the entire buzz about new shows, some prefer old favorites and cancelled shows. "I'd rather sit in my dorm and watch reruns on B.E.T. I love the old 'Steve Harvey Show,' 'The Jaime Foxx Show' and 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air' being shown," said Debi Destina, freshman.

Others prefer more "youthful" viewing provided by the folks of Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. "I really want to see the Boondocks, if I could only watch one show all day long it would be that," said Becky Enarhebba, freshman.

If you asked for this writer's opinion, the must sees for this fall are simple; they would include "America's Next Top Model," "Grey's Anatomy," "Heroes," "LOST," "One Tree Hill" and last but not least, "Veronica Mars."

Give new shows a chance they might surprise you. Keep an open mind, but do not forget to keep up with your favorites.
