Cold Case is pretty good. Desperate Housewives was okay for a while but Terri Hatcher's constant pratfalls drove me away -- can't the creepy widower kill her off? CSI:NY infuriates me. I wanted to like it because I really like Gary Sinise, but not even he can salvage the laughable dialogue the writers churn out. And what's with having 'CSI:NY' printed on their lab coats and flashing on their computer screens? Will they forget where they work if they don't have a constant reminder? At least I can thank CNBC for getting me to turn off the TV and read some of those books piled up on my shelf.

Maryam2003,

I hope you are kidding, either about that question to Molly - or on
your personal profile where it says that you are an "evangelical
missionary."

Are you looking to proseletyze to those poor single muslim Turkish
men? They are gonna love you, I promise.

I guess my point is, when you ask a question like this,
you are gonna get either generalizations or flames.
I am sure you will meet our own flamer before
too much longer.

That explains so much Molly, after all you need the quiet calm manner of a nun to be a D.O.S at any school. I don't need to say god help you. I guss as a Nun you've got a direct line to him/her.

As I was watching Desperate Housewives last night, I remembered about commercials on American TV, and why Turkish commercials don't bother me all that much. In a 1 hour program like that, every time it fades to black for a second or 2, it means a commercial break in America-- that's like, 5 times per show, or about every 7 minutes, and the breaks in the US are longer than here-- 5-7 minutes during Prime Time. That's probably why the Turks have put so many commercials, plus they start the show after the hour and it ends before the next hour-- a 1 hour program in the US is closer to 40 minutes, and a half hour sit-com is really more like 17 minutes...

Sorry! I think I was misunderstood-- I wasn't trying to pimp out whynotme-- I just thought being a Turkish man made him the best qualified to answer that question.... Embarassed

And it's an adorable photo of your son. The combined cuteness of the boy and the kitten might be a bit much, but I forgive you. He's a lovely boy.

hee hee hee!!! We may generalize from that avatar that Turkish men have a clever yet biting sense of humor. Aferin!

That picture's cute too, you should mention it to your son when he's about 14. Do you have one like that with a kitten in it?

Well, he's doing all right for such a little fella. The Turkish Republic should be proud.

I don`t think there is any need for this kind of personal attack. I know that Ghost isn`t everyone`s cup of tea but he is entitled to his opinion and is a valued member of this forum.

I have seen all of series 1-4 except the last episode of series 4 coz the knock off DVD I got didn`t manage the last episode. I saw 1 episode of series 5 on America Plus when I was staying in a hotel recently. In that Adrianna who is now in Joey, confessed to Chris that she was informing to the FBI and Pauli kills her. Any idea when series 5 will be released on DVD?
