OH, ok. I know the show you are talking about, with the actress who played the daughter on 8 Simple Rules and that guy that was on Roseanne. I just didn't know the name of the show, looks cute :)

Yep--that's it. :) Mindless, but funny, nonetheless :lol:

Yes, they should be announcing the new contestants for DWTS any day now--I remember hearing Donny Osmond say he had been asked.

Big Bang is on right before Two and a Half Men--it's about geeks who live ascoss the hall from a cute, perky, but kinda dumb blonde. The geeks are so OC that it just makes me laugh.

:lol: OMG I LOVE that show! very, very silly and VERY OCD geeks.....quite clever. Makes me guffaw out loud, the couple of times I"ve seen it....

I am also a big fan of the nerd show!! haha I LOVE IT!! Sheldon has MAJOR ocd, cracks me up. I find myself laughing out loud at every episode of that show. VERY funny.

American Idol is the current saving grace. It is also pretty funny right now with all the bad singers.....gotta laugh at those.

Thank Goodness Antiques Roadshow is not in re-runs! ha (does that make me a nerd that I watch that show, I LOVE IT).

Hey guys, I'm an actor in NYC and this strike is effecting everyone. One of the big issues is the web. They are posting tv shows on the web and they aren't really monitored so they don't get their residual. That totally sucks for them! Basically there is NO pilot season so there won't be very many new shows in the Fall. That's going to suck too. As for us actors in NYC it's getting crazy! All the LA talent is relocating to NYC for theater and the auditions are packed and horrendous, that makes less job opportunities for us live theater actors. I do feel that in the long run this will be for the better of the writer. It's going to be a LONG while before this clears up.

Not to mention the stage hand local one IATSE strike we had in late November hurt/helped the industry. Also, FYI Actors Equity, the stage acting unions Production Contract (that's 98% of the Broadway shows contract) ends this summer. I'm on the sub negotiating committee and it's already getting ugly for us too. The writers strike is hitting hard for agents too, they don't get their commission on tv shows (and it's a LOT) and then Broadway strikes....and I wouldn't be surprised if it strikes again...so watch out! Things I think, are going to get uglier!

Well I was hoping it would get resolved quickly, but after all you said it sounds like it's a lot more complicated.

Last night I gave Cashmere Mafia a try :lol:

The writers are waiting for all the shows to run out of new episodes and the public will get mad and they hope that will put more presure on the Producers League.....the Producers are sort of waiting for the same thing...I think it's gunna be a few more months.

I miss Greys and Private Practice bad too!!!!! The reruns and reality shows are wearing me out too!!!!

Okay, can someone who gets Ugly Betty please explain it to me? LOL I mean, every time I try to watch it, I just kind of sit there like this :blink:

Why do people like this show? LOL I mean, it must be great, because people rave about it, but I don't get it... :huh:

I think if you haven't watched it, or have no idea about the characters and intertwining storylines, it would be confusing to jump in on it now.

I just love it, it's super cute, has a really good message with what the main character Betty is a representation of, and the characters are all so quirky.

It's also soap opera-ish crazy, and funny, and in parts dramatic. It's just a fun imo.

Ok how I see Ugly Betty

In the scheme of things Betty is the "good guy", unsullied, salt of the earth, honest, loyal, intelligent, good-hearted, ambitious but not to point of cut-throat; she has no guile, can be gullible, has a positive attitude; not shallow but deep

and, she's "swimming" with the sharks in the fashion magazine industry. Those in the "business" are her mirror opposites and she is desperately trying to fit like a square peg in a round hole. Her boss is a newbie at what he is doing, and behind the scenes the other magazine characters are scheming to take over, undermine her and her boss. Most times Betty is just floating amongst all these strong personalities trying to do what's right, trying to keep afloat, trying to stay alive, and basically trying to keep her boss to focus on running the magazine. She oftentimes is the reason he is successful. Her family is quirkly: a nephew who knows he wants to be in fashion industry and can rattle off names of models and designers as if he's been in the fashion industry all his adult life (hey he's a teen!); her father is a wonderful man who wants his family to be happy & healthy; her sister is an air-head who sometimes gets in Betty's way of achieving her goals in life. The sister needs a crash-course in "self-reliance" . The sister has always relied on her physical looks her whole life, while Betty was short-changed in the physical beauty dept. and has always relied on her brain. The sister's have a love-hate dynamic: the beautiful older sister - who has achieved nothing during her existence is jealous of Betty's education and career and she's always trying to compete with Betty for the father's love. The father loves his two daughters equally and you can tell he misses his deceased wife. Betty takes care of things on the homefront in the same qualified manner as she does at work. But there too things spiral out of her control.

Betty is a symbol of the spirit of achievers who do not get recognition in life; who hum through "making things happen" while others get the credit and monetary compensation for it. She's the underdog: the everyman.

Ugly Betty is a very cute show.......Betty is quite a likable character. Quirky and fun. Did anybody mention that it's a show that is shown in various versions around the world? All of them, I believe, based on Mexico's Le Fea Mas Bella. It's taken off in popularity all over the place.

Yes! Writers' strike making progress! This pleases me the most as the Oscars can now air, with writers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes: I never miss the Oscars. :)

And now.......I've gotten sucked into Lost.......what in hell is going on in that show. :lol:

I saw the report that it was over too, YAY!!!!!!

But what does it all mean? When will our shows return? They have to write all the remaining eps of the season yet, and then shoot them, don't they? How long will that take?

We need our forum actress to shed some light...Melrobsings, where are you?!?!?!

They were talking about it on the radio show I was listening to this morning. Sounds like most shows are coming back in April or May.

So I guess today it is OFFICIALLY over!!

I found this info:

CBS and NBC have announced the return of many of their scripted series as TV production resumed Wednesday following a three-month writers strike.

CBS' "How I Met Your Mother," "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory" will return with new episodes March 17. Producers will make nine new episodes of each before the season ends.

"CSI: Miami" and "Cold Case" will return in late March. Others are set for early April returns, including "CSI" on April 3

NBC announced that original episodes of several of its series will return in April, beginning with "My Name is Earl" on April 3, and, a week later, "30 Rock," "The Office," "Scrubs" and "ER."

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
