TV ratings.

A show that is actually on TV at the moment is Parenthood. I’ve quite liked the first two episodes, it’s a nice ensemble cast, but I have to admit I like it because of the movie. I like to compare and contrast the TV characters with their movie counterparts. Looking at last night's ratings though it's a little disappointing to see that it's struggling.

We used to have the movie on video tape when I was younger and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it. There are so many storylines going on and it’s entertaining on a number of levels, I saw it again just recently and I remembered everything but seeing it again different things made more sense to me now.

I have always watched a shed load of TV and movies, from when I was much younger until now. I don’t actually think it’s a bad thing for a child to spend a lot of time watching TV – the key is what they’re watching. Sure I also watched absolute crap, but some of my shows that I watched for entertainment were actually educational. I remember multiple flashbacks to SeaQuest DSV during senior Biology. But what I remember learning from Parenthood is what an amalgam is.

Another good head of hair.

I know that it’s not a recent pic or anything, but I also like the hair styling here on Christina Hendricks. That side swept front section softens the look and I think makes it wearable & versatile for those of us in the boring old real world.

It doesn’t hurt that I’m a Mad Men fan, have been ages – not just a recent convert. This show for me harks back to modern greats like West Wing, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under. Lovely hour long shows with incredible production value. Big Love is another that I’m partial to that just sits there quietly going about its business.
