I’m sad but not surprised about _American Dreams_. That and _Queer Eye_ were the only shows I made sure to watch every week for the last 2 years, and I got nervous when they changed _Dreams_ from Sundays to Wednesdays. That’s usually a sign of impending doom.

I have a friend who used to be a television screenwriter, and she just told me a few days ago that she cannot believe the dreck that’s out there these days. It’s pretty bad when someone who used to be in the business can’t stand to watch anything any more.

Could this be the worst TV show title pun ever?

Or they will have once been frozen embryos from the same parents that were later donated and implanted in separate mothers and raised by separate families.

And they fall in love!!

I’m glad _The Office_ is coming back. It’s the only NBC show I watched this season, and it’s the only NBC show I’ll watch next season!

Oh, if they could only do a cross-over with the #2 show on the bad-title-pun list - they could call it “Inconceivably Blind Justice” about a blind abortionist who solves crimes in their spare time. 😃
