ha-ha! No worries: she doesn't take offense at anything like that. My wife is
almost polar opposite to me in how she blows things off. I agree with you
though. That's another thing that puzzles me: how shows full of more overt and
suggested sex or violence get those time slots, while Burn Notice is pushed to
the wee hours. Law and Order SVU, for example, is full of all sorts of
disturbing things.

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?

Yep. My wife likes "The Starter Wife", by the way.
