NerdDad and I are a little frustrated that there aren’t any good educational shows that are aimed at the NerdBug (2nd grade). They are all kindergarten or earlier. Where have 321 Contact, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and the Electric Company gone? Or one of our favorites SquareOne TV?
So I go turn on HGTV’s Designed to Sell for the NerdPie and I to watch. Then they had a carpenter named Greg that looked very familiar. Well, it was Greg Plitt, the over sexed trainer from the newest season of Bravo’s Workout. Huh!
NerdDad found this. It is done by Mitchell and Webb, the same guys who do the British Windows/Mac commercials.
I am watching Moving Up on TLC and I have a question. I have seen and interview similar to this many times. A divorcee is leaving her house because it is just way to big for her and the kids. Does 1 person make all that much of a size difference? I understand that there are many reasons for moving in a divorce but this particular reason just doesn’t make sense.
Ok, not really but I just finished watching the Season 2 premiere of Army Wives(I love Tivo) and….
SPOILER ALERT!!!! If you are going to watch it and haven’t stop reading.
Going in to this episode we were told that we would be loosing a cast member so I was sort of prepared. We see all the major cast members except a couple of the husbands (we know they aren’t going to die or the wives would have to leave base). The bar owner is in a coma and I assume that Betty is going to be the “beloved member who is leaving us”. We saw all the wives on base except Claudia Joy who was banged up and taking her banged up daughter to college (which we knew was happening). Then less than 10 minutes to the end we find out the whole interaction between Claudia and Amanda is in Claudia’s head because Amanda is in the process of dieing. I cried, no sobbed. This show can already get to my emotions but this was sobbing. You know the ugly cry; snot, tears. That was a dirty, dirty trick.

Tim Russert has passed away from a heart attack at the age of 58. The host of Meet the Press had the heart attack while recording voice overs an upcoming episode. I knew that Russert had been in politics for ever, working for people like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, but I didn’t realize that he won an Emmy for his coverage of Ronald Reagan’s funeral. While I didn’t always agreed with his political views, he did such a balanced job on Meet the Press that I always liked watching the show. His presence will definitely be missed.

Dick Martin of Laugh-In died on May 24th of Respiratory Complications in Santa Monica. Sydney Pollack also passed away from cancer on May 26th. He was well renowned for directing and producing some wonderful movies such as The Firm and Tootsie.
This just illustrates 1 way the Obama/Hillary race is fun!
Ok, I don’t watch American Idol. I know it is shocking. But, this morning I was listening to KDUV, my Christian radio station, and they were talking about the big American Idol fundraiser that was on last night. Joe and Shannon said that the closing song was shocking and then played a little bit of it. It was “Shout to the Lord”. I confess that I just started tearing up immediately. The idea that the most watched show in television was playing that song is very exciting to me. After I get home today I will see if I can find a YouTube of it.
****Updated
Here is the YouTube. Within a half hour of my posting this one of my favorite nieces sent me the link! There is talk about the editing of the original words of the song. They did change “my Jesus” in the beginning but I am not sweating it. Anyone who has seen an infomercial has seen this being part of a Christian worship album so I don’t think there is a mystery as to who it is really about.
