yeah i just read an article about this...not sure how i feel about it...

its also because they are getting pressured by the movie companies to increase their bid as there are more options for instant streaming...i had a feeling it would be coming

plus they say you can go ahead and update your plan now as if thats some sort of special bonus...uh, no, i'll wait until sept. when the forced change happens before i leave my 12.99 (or whatever) price for unlimited streaming and dvds

it really is bs that they are separating streaming and dvds into separate plans (unless you pay more to combine)

I was thinking Falling Skies had fallen off steeply after the first two episodes, but Sunday's was pretty decent. It's almost the opposite of Galactica, in that Galactica was relentless in making things worse and this show is relentless with the feel good stuff. Both are annoying. And that one girl seems to have nothing to talk about except her faith. Nothing wrong with a character being there to represent faith - X-Files always did a good job with Scully - but she's completely one-note. And those aliens have proven to be big dummies.

I'm just now getting into 30 Rock. Hilarious show, and i'm really disappointed i didn't get into it sooner. Also, you have to give them props for including three very bangable female characters in the same show. Don't see that too often.

My mom is a big 30 Rock fan, and I always seem to watch it when I go home to visit. I should just netflix the whole series. I laugh every time, and the gorgeous, funny women I get to stare at are a huge bonus.

Random thought:

My top 3 Hilarious-women-characters-on-TV:

-Elaine (Sienfeld)
-Sweet Dee (Always Sunny)
-Colby (Upright Citizens Brigade)

I read that Spader will be hired as the manager but rise to Bate's position very quickly, like one episode quickly.

i suppose i really dont know. from what i *thought* was correct was that since bates has another show ( i believe on nbc) she wanted to focus on that so somehow she'll be written out and spader will take her position (corporate head of sabre). and the last i had heard about in office manager was that NBC wanted it to be either dwight, jim or andy but the producers, etc hadn't yet decided. i then, today, read an article that jenna fischers pregnancy would be written into the show as a 2nd child for pam and jim and that jenna fischer knew who would be the in office boss but, obviously, was not allowed to say.
