Forgive me, Phyllis! Please don't hurt me. I'm not knocking the show at all, but its subject matter alone seems a bit too risaue at times for the early-morning audience it gets in such marathon ar=irings, wehile I don't see that same problem with "Burn Notice". Sure, lots of skimpily-clad people and lots of violence. I saw more of the former in "Baywatch" and a LOT more of the latter in "24".
Keith, would you mind describing Phyllis to me, so that I can cross the street in a hurry if I run across her intown? ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [RE][scifinoir2] "Burn Notice" Date : Tue, 20 Jan 2009 03:23:43 +0000 From : keithbjohn...@comcast.net To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Yep.
