Now thats entertainment, two.

If brevity is the soul of whit, than my last post was lacking in levity and spirit. But I liked it anyway.

As long as my last post was, I still didn't make my point, very clearly. Every generation seems to be more and more addicted to being entertained. Those who know this, have taken advantage of us. by turning out mediocre trash, filled with even more trash (I know, redolent). So, when I find something that I like, and it doesn't have sex, drugs or the promotion of any thing, non family oriented, I'm gonna let it be known.

And, as good as I think Ghost Hunters is, I have most of my family to back me up. The next show I am going to talk about, doesn't really get my whole family excited. Eureka.

A couple a years ago, while lying in my bed, half awake and half asleep, I thought up a good story line for a book. I pitched the idea to my writer/daughter, Michelle, of a city in the middle of no were, full of eggheads. Michelle was as always, polite, and said what a good idea, and then dropped the subject.

A month later, The SciFi channel came up with almost the same idea. But they added a little twist. A reluctant US marshal becomes the town sheriff and solves problems and crimes, while having a smaller I.Q. (111, which he brags that he didn't even study for).

A lot of laughs, a lot of drama and surprisingly, a lot of cloths (except for the episode were the cloths vanished).

Check it out Tuesdays, the the SciFi channel. Not perfect, but I like the warm and fuzzies the show gives me with the interplay, between friends and famlily.

Hav fun watching, Boyd

PS; the comercials durring the show, are starting to blurr with the show. I sign of how Tivo is starting to change things.

They stole your idea. Just like the new movie about windshield wipers. They owe you 30 million.
