Hope and Faith...

...are probably the only things that'll take me through the next half hour and this hugely irritating sitcom. Why do most American rejects land up here? Anyway...I think I've seen the 'smarter' of the two sisters (I couldn't figure out who's Hope and who's Faith) somewhere before. Between her and her husband they look like a present day Samantha and Darren from 'Bewitched'....or they act like they were. Too much nose twitching...unfortunately no magical plot twists coming up with them. Only in bad sitcoms can two people leave for a private discussion ("can I see you in the kitchen for a minute") at least 6 times in half an hour without the others wondering what its all about...or taking offence to being the topic of private discussion. Hope and faith also lead me to believe that one day Zee Cafe will stop broadcasting reruns of 'Full House' and 'Friends' The former was never funny...and you can get bored of friends after the number of reruns its been put through. How come we don't get to see the first season of 'The Sopranos' again...or reruns of 'Witchblade' for that matter?

Star World isn't all that bad though. 'My name is Ed' was new...and interesting - if you're willing to discount the mysterious reappearance of the lottery ticket. 'Scrubs' was good, followed by 'Crumbs' which is well...new. Whoa!Mitch is gay? Didn't see that coming. Ok...so 'Crumbs' is not for the homophobic. Good cast...decent acting...I think I'm going to follow this one for the next few weeks and hope the script gets better. '8 Simple Rules' is not funny. Intentionally. Its a kinda cranky episode that was aired as a tribute to John Ritter who died a couple of years back when the show was aired in the US.

So I guess Star World is better than Zee Cafe on Thursday nights. Thursday looks like the new Monday. Hope you're reading this Joe/Matt. One of these days I'm going to blog on a real time basis. Damn data card gives out on me when I need it most. Should've stuck to GPRS.

This is practice: Entertainment
