This over-50 must be under-30, then. I realized the other day that, thanks to "Friday Night Lights" wrapping up and "Persons Unknown" and "Lie to Me" being pre-empted, I went more than a week without watching any of the broadcast nets in prime-time. And but for those three shows, that statement would apply to almost the entire summer. jd -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
