I’m just through my third episode of _Family Business_. It will be the first “reality” show that I’ve ever seen. I enjoy it quite a bit, the first episode of the first season with the personal ads was funny and heartwarming at the same time. Anyone else enamoured with this series?

OK, I guess not. Don’t I feel pretentious. The one TV show I pick up and NO ONE watches it at all? ☹

Guess I’ll have to wait until I get around to starting Ally Mcbeal.

'Tis a very good show. I’ve seen it briefly and my buddies and I used to watch it religiously.

I always liked it.

I’m halfway through season 1. I’m starting to get annoyed with the endless montages of Adam and Brady, I think they’re really trying a little too hard to portray Adam as “just a regular guy”. I understnad it’s one of the premises of the show, but really, does it need to be beaten to death in every episode?

Other than that, still enjoy it quite a bit. The girl that goes out with Adam on a date and later psends the night with him. She is either Tara Reid, or plays Tara Reid in movies.
