I have often found a certain irony in the fact that I like some tv shows that exclude people that on the surface I would have more in common with than the characters on those shows.
For example, today on hulu.com, I am mining the 'Kojak' archives. This is still to me one of the more rough cop shows around. And is quite the posterchild for testosterone. I don't think growing up there was ever a female cop in Kojak's stable and there was no real room on this series for what is usually considered "feminine." However, I love this series. My mother and I used to joke that if Kojak and [Steve] McGarrett were on the case, there would be no crack problem in America.
Most of the soaps that I watch, especially ones that take place in locations like Los Angeles, apparently suffer from a disease where the people of colour have died from some mysterious disease.

Opinions of...politics - Part 1
'Onpoint' Radio has a weekly Friday roundtable discussion about issues in the news. They touched upon a few that I should make plain where my positions are.
Geraldine Ferraro: Oddly enough, I got what she was trying to say. I do honestly have to say that there have been times where I wonder about whether or not Obama would have been subjected to some of the awful things that have been said about HRC. No one's seen fit to make a nutcracker of Obama. There was a better way of saying it and I wonder what the race would have been like if Barack had been Michelle Obama instead.

Wow.
Just when I completely wrote off the new Bridget and Bold and the Beautiful, someone finally wrote a scene that MADE SENSE and gave Bridget some cajones in the bargain. Bridget called Brooke by her RIGHT NAME and snapped her whole body. I know that it will be short lived and that good writing will go away again. Boy I wish that Jennifer Finnigan could have played that scene. Ashley Jones did all right, but Jennifer would have really knocked it out of the park.You can watch the 3/13/08 episode here:http://www.cbs.com/daytime/bb/video/
The subplot of Stephanie's sister Pam (played by Alley Mills of 'The Wonder Years') is mildly amusing. It's almost as if they said, "play her like Kevin Arnold's mom with a dash of Dolores Umbridge of Harry Potter fame and a bit of Annie Wilkes of 'Misery' fame."
