I just watched the “Children in need” Doctor Who Christmas special preview on YouTube… yay!  I can’t wait to watch the Christmas Special later in the year.  Unfortunately Australia doesn’t air the Christmas special until June next year so I’ll be forced to download it… ssshhhhh… don’t tell anyone!

My husband and I both agree that “Ghost whisperer” is a great show.  Jennifer Love Hewitt is a great actress (loved her in The Audrey Hepburn Story) and it’s a pleasure to watch her on screen. In her role as Melinda Gordon the viewing audience get to see her in many different outfits but the common element is cleavage.  I sense this is why my husband loves the show so much, so many cleavage shots in a space of one hour.  It doesn’t bother me one bit, after breast feeding the children the only cleavage he is getting out of me is plumbers cleavage.  Jennifer Love Hewitt is an attractive woman (no I’m not coming out of the closet)  and her character sure does take advantage of that.  In our house we have renamed Ghost Whisperer to the more fitting title of “Melinda’s Rack” because we feel the ghosts take a back seat to boobs in this show. But it’s not visual entertainment exclusively for the men because David Conrad (who plays Jim Clancy) is my type of eye candy so there is real harmony in our household while Ghost Whisperer is on.

I just love Wednesdays.  The free local paper arrives and I get to do my favourite weekly task…  program selection duties.  Who cares about the community news I just want that T.V guide and a highlighter.   I sit down and highlight the shows I plan on watching and circle the shows I have to tape.  Then on the days when TV shows are sub-standard (usually Friday and Saturday) I write “Xena” in the column to book in a Xena: warrior princess family night.  I’m a person who loves lists and plans so this weekly task is a real pleasure for me.  If only I could highlight and circle every desirable detail of my life,  things would be all roses!

I have noticed ads on the TV for the next series of Big brother, haven’t we suffered enough bad television?  This is no longer a social experiment when the contestants aren’t even using their real names.  This is all about ratings and controversy.  The more boobs and bums they can show the more viewers they will get, which means we will have another bunch of half wits trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.  Oh and we can’t forget about the token gay person and one of “colour”.   Put a hot tub into the house and there you go… slap and tickle for the whole of Australia.  I think this rubbish has been going on for long enough, stop flogging a dead horse I say .
