So I was reading something just a minute ago that was talking about the ratings for the new 90210 and it said that the rumor going around is that the CW may be on the ropes.

First, I must admit that I'm not surprised by it. Since the CW took over UPN and WB, so many great shows have gone off. Not just Gilmore Girls (you had to know I would bring it up), but Veronica Mars, Reba, they made One Tree Hill a midseason once. And that's just to name a few. I honestly have to say I'm not surprised. I don't really watch anything on the CW anymore.

At the same time, however, I do still watch One Tree Hill. And if something happens to the CW, I'm kinda nervous about what would happen if the CW shut down and One Tree Hill took the brunt of it. That show has gotten better with time, if you ask me, and it deserves to run the time it needs. I think fans would be disappointed if something happens. It would be Gilmore Girls all over for me again, only not quite so dramatic. (Seriously, I think we deserved to have Luke and Lorelai back together for a bit, not just a two second kiss. That really upset me.)

Anyways, I just wanted to put that out there. I don't really care what happens to the CW, since I have a firm belief (no matter what is said about contract issues) that Amy Palladino would have stayed, and Lauren and Alexis by extension, if they had stayed on the WB. They knew that GG was one of their top rated shows and gave them the courtesy they deserved. But I DO care about what happens to One Tree Hill. I think the actors and fans deserve a good sendoff when it does come time for it to end, not because their network is shut down for low ratings.

First, let me start off by saying that I am a girly girl. I have no issue admitting the fact. I love romantic comedies and I love getting dressed up just for a night on the town.

Now, that being said, I have to gush about Momma Mia! I went to see it with my sister (we had grown up listening to ABBA with our mother) and both of us immediately fell in love. Within the first five minutes, she and I were looknig at each other saying "we have to get this as soon as it comes out!"

I did not know that Amanda Seyfried could sing that well! I was completely amazed. And Meryl Streep is an incredible actress anyways, and I loved her character. Plus, I LOVE listening to ABBA songs, so all in all there wasn't anything wrong with this film for me. It had humor (lots), tons of singing (I'm a big musicals person) and romance. What more could a girly girl ask for??

Okay, there is my gush. Momma Mia completely made my weekend. I hope everyone walks out of that theater feeling as happy as I did.

So I don't know how many of you have watched it, but "Army Wives" is probably one of the best shows on television at the moment.

My uncle and aunt are both soldiers, and though I only see them occasionally, I know how hard it is for their son to watch them deploy and not know when or if they are coming home.

Through "Army Wives" we follow four women and one man-Claudia Joy, Denise, Pamela, Roxy, and Roland-as they support their spouses in the Army. I have been watching the first season on DVD and though I have watched them all now, the episode that really got to me is the third one, The Art of Separation. It really shows how these women and men truly support each other when they feel alone. They are all bonded by having someone they love gone, and though vastly different, all of them lean on the others for support during times of trouble. When problems arise, you see how each of them take it personally, even if it doesn't directly affect their lives or their children's lives, but affects the life of a friend.

It's a great show, and I hope more people start to watch it. One, because I want ratings to be good enough so the series continues for a long long time. But more importantly, because this show brings forth a new sense of pride and understanding from me, and i'm sure other people. We all see the soldiers who defend this country and we support them to the best of our abilities. But we don't quite see that their families are also fighting the war; and are fighting just as hard a battle. Keep our troops, and their families, in your thoughts. And watch "Army Wives".

Sorry about the rant. I tend to run a little passionate about things lol.
