Where's My Christine?!
It's a sad reality that the death of the sitcom is now upon us.
For the past two seasons, however, I had thoroughly enjoyed Julia Louis-Dreyfus' revival in New Adventures of Old Christine- miles apart from the unwatchable "Watching Ellie," which was on NBC- TWICE.
I checked CBS Fall lineup, and it wasn't there. Big mistake, honchos.
She has a mass appeal. She won an emmy for that show after the first season, which to me is unheard of. She's a talented, funny, pretty actress.
The writing could have used a small facelift, but since King of Queens finished this season, as well as the dramedy Gilmore Girls, what else is there for me to watch?!
I don't LIKE Two and a Half Men. I don't LIKE Rules of Engagement. Or How I Met Your Mother. I liked that show they had with the four guys...Seth Green was on it...on NBC. That was good. Canceled that one too.
New Adventures of Old Christine was just what TV needed. A simple sitcom, with predictable plots, lovable characters, and a big name. In this case, two. Her and Wanda Sykes, who's hysterical.
Bring me back my Christine!!!!!!!!!

Rosie "Leaves" The View
Now, let's be realistic, children.
Rosie was great for the ratings, but bad for the Disney/ABC reputation. Anyone idiotic enough to decide that President Bush elected to blow up he twin towers, and kill close to 3,000 of his own citizens is beyond me.
Her goal was to make Elisabeth look stupid.
I certainly enjoyed watching her on The View. When it comes down to it, she's entertaining. She's "out there," and she gave people what to think about, and what to talk about. If you think about it, who could replace her?
In the Fall, they'll be left with Barbara Walters (who never seems to be on when I watch), Joy Behar, and Elisabeth Hasselback. If it was up to me, I'd replace Rosie. But I'm a not-so-pretty nobody...who would want to watch me? I wouldn't start up any hot celebrity feuds, or say stupid racist things, although I wasn't aware that saying "Ching Chong" was racist.
Who knows what happened. The point is, who's next?
I heard rumors of Mo'Nique replacing Star Jones. What happened to that? She's hysterical. Now this might sound nuts, but Linda Popadopolus-I totally butchered the spelling--the psychologist from the past few seasons of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club would make a really good co-host. She's pretty, she's smart, she's opinionated. I like her.
Or, how about, since Megan Mullally's own show was canceled, she join The View. She'd be funny, but not so controversial.
Then there's Roseanne, who I just saw in the past yesterday--hasn't been approached, but I don't know why I didn't think of that! I LOVE Roseanne. She's the best. She's an older, (wiser?) Rosie O'Donnell. I think she has a lot of experience, and has learned from it. She's kind of normal now compared the to the crotch-grabbing Roseanne of the early 1990s. I think she's an influential, historical character in the American media.
But anyway, GOOD BYE ROSIE!!!
(Oh, and congrats to Elisabeth on her pregnancy)
