Well i'm kind wait forum to be added before i make final changes.

it taking longer than usual-6 days and none of the new shows have fourm-this first time history of this place this happen, IBJ did tell me he will do one but no sign maybe he will do it tomorrow

waterlilybarb

I noticed that too.  Maybe it has something to do with the server problems they've been experiencing, but I don't know for sure.  As long as those changes are made, they will be fine to post when there's a forum for them.

i wonder where SSQ is -she's  disappeared

waterlilybarb

It's the weekend.  Maybe she's doing stuff with her hubby & kid.  The weather is probably nice.  It is here, but I'm exhausted and just watched the new Battlestar Galactica...YIPEE!  Now I'm going to watch a couple things I taped this week because I had house guests and wasn't able to watch my shows.  

YAY for a "bum around the house" Saturday!   

sddvasquez

we have been having decent weather but the kid was super sick and i had a project deadline plus got called in to sub on friday. i can handle abouts for CSI: NY, Damages, Desperate Housewives, Seinfeld, Weeds, and South Park if no one else has called them yet.

bala

take your time-i'm waiting new forum to be created so i can post my guides

waterlilybarb

They're all yours sddv, and thanks in advance for the help.

p.s. I hope the little one is feeling better.  I've got another bug myself and feel pretty crappy, but it's especially miserable to see a wee one sick.  They can't tell you exactly what they want or need, unlike us older whingers.

bala

Well that's kids for you but it nice to have someone looking after you when unwell unlike as adult you take care of yourself

waterlilybarb

Unless I'm on death's door, I'd just as soon be left alone when I'm ill.  The only thing I'm wishing for today is a ride to the doc instead of having to take the bus.  Other than that, I'd rather crawl back in bed and sleep the day away.

bala

you been unwell for a long-time?

is it serious?

waterlilybarb

I've got strep throat...bummer!  This is the 7th bug I've had just in this calendar year.   I had house guests all last week, and the lack of sleep and stress just wore me out.  I don't have a very strong immune system to begin with, so any added stress, either physical or emotional just does me in.

BTW, I'm likin' the new avatar.  On occasion, it's quite apt.

To Unravel A Murder, You Have To Strip It To The Bone.

What Is It About:
Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperence Brennan, who works at the Jeffersonian Institution and writes novels as a sideline, has an uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones. Consequently, law enforcement calls her in to assist with murder investigations when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned, or destroyed that the standard identification methods are useless.

Brennan's equally brilliant colleagues at the Jeffersonian's Medico-Legal Lab include earthy and bawdy Angela Montenegro, who's created a unique way to render an original crime scene in a three-dimensional computer image; Brennan's assistant, Zack Addy, a young prodigy whose genius IQ actually gets in the way of his finishing the several doctorates he's begun.

"The bug guy", Dr. Jack Hodgins, who's an expert on insects, spores and minerals, but conspiracy is his hobby; and Brennan's boss, imposing lab director Dr. Daniel Goodman. Brennan often finds herself teamed with Special Agent Seely Booth, a former Army sniper who mistrusts science and scientists when it comes to solving crimes. Brennan and Booth clash both professionally and personally, but so far the chemistry between them has only played out in a fictionalized account in Brennan's lastest mystery novel.

CAST:

David Boreanaz	Special Agent Seeley Booth
Emily Deschanel	Dr. Temperance Brennan
Michaela Conlin	Angela Montenegro
T.J. Thyne	Dr. Jack Hodgins
Eric Millegan	Zack Addy
Tamara Taylor	Dr. Camille Saroyan

They're Here. More are Coming. Don't Worry. We have a Plan.

What is it About?

Dr. Molly Caffrey is a contingency analyst whose job is to devise response plans for worst-case scenarios, including threats to national security. In a single instant, her life changes when one of those plans — "Threshold" — is activated by Deputy National Security Advisor J.T. Baylock.

Armed only with her hypothetical strategy to address an unprecedented occurrence — the appearance of alien life on Earth — Caffrey is thrust into a global crisis when an extraterrestrial craft is discovered in the Atlantic Ocean. Molly hand-picks a team of specialists, known as the Red Team, to help implement her plan: Dr. Nigel Fenway, a disillusioned NASA forensic microbiologist; Lucas Pegg, a brilliant but neurotic astronautical engineer; Arthur Ramsey, a womanizing linguist and mathematician; and Cavennaugh, a highly trained covert operative with a mysterious past.

Molly and her Red Team race against the clock and risk their lives to discover the purpose of the alien craft, determine what happened to the crew of the Navy vessel which discovered it, and prepare for what might be a full-scale alien invasion.

CAST:

Carla Gugino	Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey
Brian Van Holt	Sean Cavennaugh
Brent Spiner	Dr. Nigel Fenway
Rob Benedict	Lucas Pegg
Peter Dinklage	Arthur Ramsey
Charles S. Dutton	J.T. Baylock

What is it About?:
NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a former Marine gunnery sergeant, whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, formerly led this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs, a man of few words, only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, an ex-homicide detective who may come off as the world's oldest frat boy, but whose instincts in the field are unparalleled; forensic specialist Abby Sciuto, a talented scientist whose dark wit matches her Goth style and eclectic tastes, NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field and Ziva David, a former Moussad agent who shares a bond with Gibbs over the death of his arch nemesis, Ari, the terrorist who killed former NCIS Special Agent Kate Todd. Assisting the team is medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, who knows it all because he's seen it all, and he's not afraid to let you know.

What is it about?
Two years after Katrina, parts of the city are still in chaos, but hope has emerged. Battling an upsurge of violence, understaffing of police forces and a lack of crime labs and other facilities, the cops who remain in the New Orleans Police Department have courage to burn and a passion to reclaim and rebuild their city.

Marlin Boulet is a brash, wry, in-your-face veteran of the NOPD’s Felony Action Squad, the specialized unit that targets the most-wanted criminals. Even when his partner deserted him during the storm, Boulet held his post, spending days in the water saving lives and keeping order. Now, two years later, he’s unapologetic about bending the rules when it comes to collaring bad guys. The stakes are too high, and the city too fragile, for him to do things by the book.

Boulet’s new partner, Trevor Cobb, was a soldier in Afghanistan before joining the NOPD. He’s tough and committed; but if he’s less than comfortable with Boulet’s methods, it’s because he’s harboring a dark secret. Cobb has come to New Orleans seeking redemption, but redemption can be dangerous.

Rounding out the crew are wisecracking Jeff “GLUE BOY” Gooden, the team’s comic relief; tough-as-nails Ginger “LOVE TAP” LeBeau, the only female on the squad; and Captain James Embry, who wrangles the eclectic personalities of his squad with equal parts humor and tenacity.

CAST:

Anthony Anderson	Marlin Boulet
Cole Hauser	Trevor Cobb
John Carroll Lynch	Captain James Embry
Tawny Cypress	Ginger 'Love Tap' LeBeau
Elise Neal	Ayana Boulet
Dr. Melissa Caudle	Detective Smitty

Everyone has a little dirty laundry.

Desperate Housewives is a primetime soap with a contemporary take on the "happily ever after," this hit series takes a darkly comedic look at suburbia, where the secret lives of housewives aren't always what they seem.

What is it about?
The series began with Mary Alice Young leaving her perfect house, in the loveliest of suburbs, and ending it all. Now she takes us into the lives of her family, friends and neighbors, commenting from her elevated P.O.V.

Her circle of girlfriends on Wisteria Lane includes Susan Mayer, the divorcee and single mom who will go to extraordinary lengths for love; Lynette Scavo, who struggles with balancing the complications of work and family issues; Bree Van De Kamp -- Martha Stewart on steroids -- who battles the demons of widowhood, alcoholism and vengeful children; Gabrielle Solis, the ex-model with everything she has ever wanted - a rich husband, a big house -- everything that is, but a good marriage; and serial divorcee Edie Britt, the free spirited real estate maven whose love life has everyone buzzing.

Then there are the men: Mike Delfino, a plumber who is the on-again/off- again love of Susan's life; Lynette's adorable husband, Tom, who, it's turning out, has his own share of secrets, and Gabrielle's estranged husband, Carlos. Recently joining the group is Bree's husband, Orson Hodge; the charming Ian Kavanaugh, a new love interest for Susan; and Austin Britt, Edie's 17-year-old nephew, who shares his aunt's knack for stirring up trouble.

From her unique vantage point, Mary Alice sees more now than she ever did alive, and she's planning to share all the delicious secrets that hide behind every neighbor's closed door in this seemingly perfect American suburb.

CAST:

Teri Hatcher	Susan Mayer
Felicity Huffman	Lynette Scavo
Marcia Cross	Bree Van De Kamp
Eva Longoria Parker	Gabrielle Solis
Ricardo Chavira	Carlos Solis
Nicollette Sheridan	Edie Britt
James Denton	Mike Delfino

Ok let me know what you think of these Tina ?

waterlilybarb

These are MUCH better.   I've tweaked the banners on a few to make them a little narrower and to include the series' name.  It would be helpful if you could add the IMDb links with the actors names (even if it's just for a couple of the Abouts), as it will be added work for someone else (most likely me) if you don't.  Also, if the shows have an official site, can you add that along with the source links for where you got the descriptions - that's a copyright issue.  Thanks.
