One of my pet peeves is that TV shows rarely use the right cries for babies' ages. Enzo is about 18 months old now, yet they make it sound like a baby of 1-2 months is crying in the other room. I got news for you, AMC, at his age, Enzo would be shrieking so loud the condo association would be receiving complaints about windows shattering!

I see we have a new Dr. McMillan. I know they change actors often, and it can be jarring to have someone suddenly acquire an Australian accent, new hair color, etc., but this guy is SO much lighter than the previous actor that it's like he's ventured into Michael Jackson territory! Must have been his nasty attitude -- someone made good on their threat to "slap the black right off of him"! He's also MUCH nicer now -- in fact, he won't stop smiling, and it's kind of creeping me out.

It took me a while to figure out what it was about Mark Consuelos that had changed in his absence, but I finally figured it out -- his teeth are very white, but they are not BLINDINGLY bright. They must have made him have "normal" teeth for the movie.

GOOD for YOU, Brooke, telling Edmund to basically f**k off and HIT THE ROAD for his condescending assumptions about having sex with Adam! You GO girl! ...... Oops, spoke too soon. A mere commercial later she's apologizing again. Oh well.

What did Greenlee do to her hair, put shoe polish on it? I didn't even RECOGNIZE her at first! She doesn't look bad, but she doesn't look like GREENLEE, either. Now she looks like all the other brunettes on the show. I think I know where Dr. McMillan's color went when it got slapped off of him -- it landed in Greenlee's HAIR!

Did you "get" the public service message that comprised most of Wednesday's show? That conversation was so stilted and politically correct it made my teeth hurt! Don't drink -- actions have consequences -- you could lose something REALLY important. Well, yeah, but these people felt compelled to come over on THANKSGIVING morning to firmly assert their family values? I'm glad Jamie apologized, and it's certainly their right to say the kids can't see each other socially anymore because of his actions AND the questionable morals of his parents, but it was awfully contrived.

TAN: I had cable internet installed Tuesday and I am THRILLED with the speed! As it turns out, I'm the first on in the recently wired neighborhood to do so, so I have it all to MYSELF! ZOOOOOOOOM!
