Whoa!

While waiting for "Alias" to come on ABC, (I'm a huge fan. You should be too. Fast, frothy, high octane. And sexy.) I'm watching some other program on another network, "Cold Case." In the space of just a minute or two, one character uses the words "asshole" and "prick" and shoots the bird! Network television, just before 8PM CST! Is this what television is these days? Lord, I'm glad I choose my viewing. I make a point of trying to catch about four shows, down from seven last year. (One series ended; two others dropped from the schedule.) I might watch another two or three if the television's on. That's it.

After this display on "Cold Case," I remember why I started down this path.
