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."

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body...

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain.  That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
