There's another one I forgot about. And I watch it almost every day I'm near a TV, at 3:00 p.m. on USA. Right when my fourteen-year-old niece gets home from school...
And you're *sure* that I'm good with Phyllis? My paternal grandfather, Deity rest his dear soul, advised me "never to make a woman angry at you. She may not get you, but she can convince ten guys to do it *for* her." ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [RE][scifinoir2] "Burn Notice" Date : Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:46:55 +0000 From : keithbjohn...@comcast.net To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com 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. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Martin Baxter" > Forgive me, Phyllis!
