It�s in your settings Greg, because I don�t get them at all.
Not even when
I funnel the things to outlook express. The only way to keep
from them is
to force everyone to plain text, and that aint gonna happen.
The websites
these things are stolen from have advertisements in them, and
they cause the
script errors.

I know one thing, these script errors on all these are
irritating the mess
out of me. lol Heck, pops up 4-5 times on every
single one of these about
the tv shows.....and won't let you delete it or anything
until you click it
each time. And with ten in a row of these, I'm ready to take
a hammer to the
screen. ROFL
Can anyone say happy yet? lol

POLO AND SUTCLIFFE
BUZZ FACTOR YOU RATE THE SHOW
NEW SHOW (ABC) 8:30-9 PM Debuts Sept. 23
Chris Henchy has this story about his wife driving him to
pick up his newly
repaired '91 Jeep. ''Brooke drives away, and the head
mechanic looks at me
and goes, 'How does a guy like you get a girl like that?'''
And by Brooke,
he means Brooke Shields. And by ''like that,'' he may mean
tall and
beautiful, but more likely he means way famous.
So how does a guy like him -- reasonably attractive, sure,
but way unfamous
-- get a girl like that? The former ''Spin City'' writer will
answer that
burning question in ABC�s ''I'm With Her.'' ''We sold the
show from Chris
telling personal stories,'' says Henchy's partner, ''Caroline
in the City''
cocreator Marco Pennette. ''Chris told me his story at lunch,
and I thought,
'That's a TV series.'''
The pilot borrows heavily from Henchy and Shields' courtship
-- e.g., the
American bulldog she was walking that sparked their first
conversation, the
film premiere that was their first date -- but Henchy
emphasizes that this
is not an entirely faithful reenactment. The leading man,
Patrick Owen
(''Gilmore Girls''' David Sutcliffe), may drive a '91 Jeep,
but he's a high
school English teacher. The show's celebrity, Alex Young
(''Meet the
Parents''' Teri Polo), is more Sandra Bullock than
child-star-made-good. And
each has a colorful, television-friendly confidant at the
ready: Patrick
hangs with wisecracking substitute teacher Stevie (Danny
Comden), who simply
can't believe Patrick's good luck, and Alex lives with
cynical sister Cheri
(Rhea Seehorn), who simply can't believe her famous sis is
dating a mere
mortal.
To play that regular guy tossed into the Hollywood scene,
Sutcliffe draws on
his own experiences as an L.A. newcomer. ''It was bizarre to
go to yoga
class and see David Duchovny in downward dog next to me.
Those are the
feelings this character is going through,'' he says. ''I was
an English
major and thought about being a teacher, so I could have been
this guy.
Except that I would be far too terrified to date someone like
Julia
Roberts.'' Movie star Polo feels equally comfortable in her
role as movie
star Alex: ''I relate to her in the sense that she's a real
person who has
been thrust into the spotlight.''
Despite the celeb setup, producers want ''I'm With Her'' to
be more ''Dharma
& Greg'' than ''Entertainment Tonight: The Sitcom.''
Story lines will focus
on the budding relationship and squabbles big and small.
(Should she use her
name to snag front-row concert tickets? Can he get past his
insecurities
over her George Clooney-like exes?) ''Our intent was to keep
Hollywood in
the background,'' says Pennette. ''It was developed as a
romantic comedy. If
we end up relying on what wacky thing happens at the Academy
Awards, then
we're in trouble.''
Okay, so they won't exploit their premise to sneak in
high-profile guest
stars -- until, perhaps, sweeps time rolls around. ''We'd
love Teri to call
Ben Stiller,'' Pennette acknowledges. ''It legitimizes Alex's
world when you
see her with Brooke Shields and Ben.'' And we suppose it
''legitimizes
Alex's world'' to put her in sexy outfits, too, like
that
plunging-necklined, high-slit silver number from the pilot?
''We have a
movie-star character. We have a reason to do it,'' says
Pennette. ''It's not
one of these sitcoms where you have a mom dressed in a hot
outfit washing
dishes.''
