When I saw the previews or Wife Swap Tv Show  it seemed like a trashy type of show but actually it turns out it really has some good moments I find. They usually take 2 families completely different – ie A homeschooling Christian family with a No Rules Hippie family and then have them trade wives for a week.  FIREWORKS!! But the interesting thing is that some of the deficiencies in each family structure actually get critiqued by the other wife and there usually are some Ah Ha moments on Abc Wife Swap and realizations that are implemented.

Of course they try to play up some dramatic aspect etc but wife swap tv show seems to at least have some part of the show accentuating the changes each family is making as well as some of the kids’ reactions.

On one show for example, the kids were left to themselves a lot while the parents had constant company of others from their spiritual tradition. Abc wife swap had a section where the new wife encouraged the dad and son to do a project together. They built something and the kid said, “This is so much better than playing video games”. It was very touching and I think anyone who tended to let their kids due their own thing too much while they either work on the computer or had company etc would recognize how happy the kid was doing a home project. The the wife shop tv show likes to show explosive fighting it does have some genuine moments worth reflecting upon.

Well in today’s show was an interesting dialogue between Jenna and Adrianne. She seems to think that Adrianne may be the murderer though I think Kevin thinks that she is..

It seems like lately on the show there haven’t been a lot of “happy” romantic types of moments. Everyone seems in crisis in one way or the other (yet still pretty realistic).

The other thing that struck me today was that I realized I like Gloria. Her flamoyant character is not as painful as it had been and she still seems like trailer trash in certain ways but is deep too (that’s what I like about the young and the restless).

Does anyone remember Larry? I liked him but he was written off a while ago. I find the Jill/Catherine thing boring but maybe it’s aimed for every woman’s fear -kidnapping her baby.

Okay I admit it. I am hooked on the Young and the Restless. But surprisingly so are a lot of college graduates! I do think it is a very interesting soap because the writers cover both romance as well as career questions, death and genuine topics. Sure there are kidnappings and the usual, but there is a realism that is there too.

I have to say though that since they killed off John Abbot, I am surprised that Ashley Abbot is leaving Young and Restless (or so it looks).

Also I feel a bit gripped by this Carmen Mesta murder mystery. I had thought Jenna did it and was a serial murderer but now I’m not sure. What does cbs young and the restless have in store for us?

If Ashley Abbot leaving young and restless is going to happen then will John live alone in that big house?

I do think there may be some complex theme developing around Sheila, Paul and Michael. I like Michael for some reason. He seems very complex . Actually I think that’s what I like about the cbs young and restless. The characters have an inner life to them of concerns and don’t seem shallow (well some do like Amber!).

watching tv on the pc

January 8, 2007

Hi Guys,

I was at my friends last night and he watches tv on his computer. I didn’t know about that till recently. I think I may get a bigger laptop to be able to do this. I don’t think watching hours of tv is good for people but I do think there are some quality shows on plus some foreign shows I can watch that will expand my mind. My nephews I know will get a kick for the sports shows.

When my mom taught 3rd grade she heard that someone said some of the kids are mechanical because of too much tv watching and speak in cliches. So watch it okay? But there are good quality shows to watch and it’s worth doing with a one-time fee.
