I liked the apprentice (1st series) and i watched a lot of ER and the simpsons.

Now i watch Gray's anatomy, house, and any trash on the E! channel. I love the british history stuff on PBS too, they showed the Ray Winstone Henry VIII, i loved it...and elizabeth I.

Oh and i was addicted to dancing with the stars

Not....... Seeking solutions with Suzanne? A grey haired old dear who looks like she had a double stroke, was embalmed, and then exhumed and put on daytime TV

I have a view from my office of the completely tacky and gawdy (no pun intended) building where she broadcasts that show from. They're just one of a few evangelical types who are based in Orange County. I actually spotted her in a bar one night with her "husband" who also joins her in spreading the good word (and who has been up on charges of sexual harrassment of a male employee). She looks completely different when she's not crying and begging people to send in all of their life savings. She was wearing a black lycra minidress and had hair extensions down to her waist. They apparently are very fond of ordering ridiculously expensive bottles of wine and tipping poorly. The bible belt's money is being well spent, I suppose.
