Family 1 - circus motorcycle stunt people - kids come first. They eat meat and travel the country. They use thousands in gas amonth. At this time they are living out of a hotel while they travel. Housekeeping shows up while the new mom learns the family rules. She describes the family as artistically stunted thril seakers. The family's asks the new mom to leave because she didn't bring happiness to the family. New mom trys to take the keys to all the gas guzzlers they drive. New mom cooks a vegan meal, the family refuses to eat it unless the dog eats it. The dad goes to town on a horse to buy burgers. (he wore a helmet) Family 2 - The mom's art is the most important part of the family.The 2 girls and 1 boy share a room so the mom has room for paint; in a 4 bedroom home. Two rooms are for the art. They are home schooled in music and latin. The mom wakes up and writes a journel while the kids fend for them selves. They are enviromentalist vegans. They have to walk or ride a bike the 5 miles to school. They momgets to use the hybrid car to buy art supplies. There is no money to buy the kids anything. The kids entertain themselves by hitting rocks with a golf clubs; that's it!!! The father does see how the kids are affected. New mom trys to sell the art the mom does. The kids freak. Instead they put out an art show to see what it's worth. An art critic visits and calls it student work with no clear vision. The husband freaks out because it insults his wife. Nothing is more important then the mom; even the kids happiness. New mom takes the kids bike riding but the father decides he should ride instead because he is more important. Neither family seemed messy which is unusual.
Family 1 from Ohio - super strict and super clean. They must be out of bed by 6am and have 1 hour 18 minutes to complete the morning ; and the beds cannot have wrinkles. THEY HAVE 1 SPECiFIC WAY TO FOLD laundry. The 17 year old daughter runs the house while the moms socializes. They have daily schedules and meetings. They steam clean everything. The new mom would rather pee outside then in the dirty bathroom. The father is a jerk and does not allow the children to speak unless allowed by him. The kids also clean the car dealership he runs. This is another family that smells the kids again. The new mom breaks down and moves to a motel. Then she decides to come back. Family 2 from Michigan - - not clean and not strict. The dad is more of a kid then the 4 kids. Underware fights are the norm. Swearing is allowed. They use a rake to find things on the floor. They don't cook; they only have takeout. Instead of napkins they use the shirt the dad is wearing. The kids call the new mom a bitch and lie to the dad. The dad has a breakdown because touching moments aren't his thing. They went to buy fish for an aquarium; that was the touching moment.
Family 1 - White trash - 4 kids all 6 in the family drag race and annoy the neighbors. They never clean and clothes are piled everywhere. No one does the dishes. At one point the kids were plaing with a US flag. The new mom drag races nce. The rest of the time she complains about the mess. The children are never punished for anything. They seem to be at one with dirt. The kids miss the dirt when the new mom spends 6 hours cleaning. Family 2 - Overly judgemental extreemly rich - 3 kids. The mom makes fancy dinners everynight in case rich people visit and need to be impressed. The husband and kids don't care how the house looks and think their mom is nuts. The new mom can't believe the family thinks so little of their mom. The children never do anything wrong ever. I'm not sure they do much of anything. New mom tries to get the family to be a team on a pit crew; they don't seem to know how to be a team. At the end the old mom freaks out on the dad about he never does anything. Both families actually ended up learning from each other and seemed happy for all that happened.
So this week on Wife swap: Family one is very religious and protective of their kids. The kids do chores and are part of a family bluegrass band. They don't do much off the farm and the kids including the 19 year old boy are not allowed to date. Very much behind the times but with moral values. The new mom got them cable and video games. She also want to let the boys date. The father is goofy and since he doesn't like to date he won't let the boys date. The boys are brainwashed into not talking to girls. The father has convinced the boys that it's immoral to speak to a girl and it will lead to sex and disease. They also have to eat pizz and burgers that their bodies have not consumed and will probably make them sick. The new mom begs the boys to date. The 2 oldest agree then the father freaks and the new mom is a bitch. She would embarass white trash. Family two plays; mom and dad work, the daughter has a live in boyfriend - neither work. The boy is a part time rapper and has a live in unemployed girlfriend. If the kids want money the mom must hand it over. The house is not cleaned. They want to live for today because God may take them out any day now. The father wants to be a friend and not a parent. The father apperas to be a moron. Or possibly an idiot. He thinks it's better to let his kids have live in partners and pay for them then teach them how to work. The mom while with the other family cries alot because she doesn't believe is making kids do chores. The new mom got rid of the TV and video games. She hid the cigerettes. She is also giving them the practice baby dolls. She brought a preacher to marry the couples. Of course they didn't want to marry and were forced to separate over night. The skank (son's girlfriend) says she not a mooch. Weird since she expects the mom to pay for her manicures and clothes. The 20 year old boy (loser) whines because he's a man that has no job and want a cigarette. He's 20 and lives with his girlfriend's parents. The father is oblivious to the truth that he's a waste of tissue. He is more worred about being dead tomorrow and being their friend today.

How bad did he sing? Really, he'll never be on again and they cancelled it. CBS Axes Reality Show After 1 Episode
NEW YORK - The secret talents of celebrities will remain hidden. CBS is axing its new reality show "Secret Talents of the Stars" after only one episode. The first airing Wednesday had former "Star Trek" actor George Takei singing "On the Road Again." Only 4.6 million people tuned in - and thousands tuned away as the hour continued. The reality show also had Clint Black doing standup comedy and Mya tap-dancing. Danny Bonaduce is among the celebrities whose secret talents will be kept to himself. CBS officials say news programming is expected as a temporary replacement
I just don't have a good TV. So we got power back and everything is ok except the TV. We are using our old 20" or now. Not much difference from the 27" we had. We thought about a call to the power company but the TV was old so I doubt it'd be worth the trouble getting them to pay. Turns out a transformer blew in front our church. No damge to the building. It's not like we use the TV much. No cable, no dish, just a set of rabbit ears. Usually we aren't home and when we are someone is on the computer or reading. I finished the taxes before the power went out so in 2 weeks we can think about a TV.
A local family was on Wife Swap. She made people in Buffalo look like asses. The family from here were complete jerks. Spending all day trying to look good is not the answer. I hope I never have to deal with these people evry in real life. The way they treat everyone else around then is terrible. http://www.wkbw.com/news/local/12907002.html By Jenny Rizzo
A Williamsville family swaps wives with a family from Indiana next week in ABC's premiere of the hit TV show "Wife Swap." The families couldn't be more opposite in beliefs and parenting philosophies, and that makes for some interesting reality television. The Guastaferro family, of Williamsville, is into the pageant scene. They believe in showering their only daughter with gifts and introducing her to new experiences. But for one week, they had to set pomp and circumstance aside to live with a new set of rules. Alicia Guastaferro is stepping into her very own brand new 2008 Chevy Tahoe, a New Years gift from her parents. The new wheels are expensive gift but Karen and Ralph believe in giving their daughter something everyday. Karen said, "We do have a Christmas tree year-round and she does get a gift everyday. Its not like big gifts everyday, but she does get a small reward, like makeup or small item. Its kind of like the simple, enjoy everyday -- It's Christmas every day." Karen's parenting philosophy is featured in the Wife Swap episode, which airs on Wednesday, January 2. She swaps places with an Indiana wife who is a pastor, a self-proclaimed feminist, and a believer in simple things. And while Karen tries out a new lifestyle in the Hoosier State, Angie Boss becomes the boss of the Guastaferro's Williamsville home. Alicia said, "I live a very carefree life where I have no chores. I have anything I want, I get. Its a great life. I love it." During Angie's one-week reign, she demanded a lot of change from Alicia. "Angie didn't like any of it," Alicia explained. "She didn't like my name brand clothes, my makeup, my hair. She wanted me to go plain - no nothing." Meanwhile Karen tried to put a bit more sparkle into the Indiana family's lives, giving them experiences more like her daughter's. Karen said, "Our family is a kind, loving family. And we do what our child wants to do, we let her experience everything, its good for her. She's an honor student, she's a good child." The Guastaferros have not seen the Wife Swap episode yet, so they hope they are not stereotyped. Karen said, "If they do stereotype us, that we are into pageants or glitz... Well, we are to a degree. But we're just real people in the everyday work-a-day world." The episode was filmed in Williamsville and Indiana back in April. The families have not kept in touch. Both Karen and Alicia tell 7 News it was a good experience overall but they are happy to keep their lifestyle as it is.

Hayden Panettiere from the show heros will be Jessica Alba's replacement. Sarah Michelle Gellar will always be on top (that is what I meant) but she'll make a nice #2.

Mr. Whipple' TV Actor Dick Wilson Dies
By JEFF WILSON
Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES - Dick Wilson, the character actor and pitchman who for 21 years played an uptight grocer begging customers "Please, don't squeeze the Charmin," died Monday. He was 91. The man famous as TV's "Mr. Whipple" died of natural causes at the Motion Picture & Television Fund Hospital in Woodland Hills, said his daughter Melanie Wilson, who is known for her role as a flight attendant on the ABC sitcom "Perfect Strangers." Wilson made more than 500 commercials as Mr. George Whipple, a man consumed with keeping bubbly housewives from fondling toilet paper. The punch line of most spots was that Whipple himself was a closeted Charmin-squeezer. The first commercial aired in 1964 and by the time the campaign ended in 1985 the tag line and Wilson, a former Canadian airman and vaudeville veteran, were pop culture touchstones. He also played a drunk on several episodes of "Bewitched," as appeared as various characters on "Hogan's Heroes," "The Bob Newhart Show," and Walt Disney productions.
Bionic Woman So I started watching repeats of the Bionic Woman. It's a good show but I don't like the flat acting by the guy fired from Grey's Anatomy. I'm not a fan of the other bionic woman either. To me it seams like a rehash of the Buffy vs Faith situation from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was a good idea there but it doesn't work here in my opinion.
This show was filmed in my Fortress of Solitude!!! This is what the place looked like in the old days before Amtrak left.
The Family Guy season opener was amazing. It was the best Star Wars parody I've ever seen. The Dr. Who (Tom Baker) reference was well done. There were so many jokes I can't wait to see it again on tape tonight. It's to bad the killed of John Williams on Tantooine. That was funny.

 How come on Family Guy Stewie can touch Death? Anyone else that touched Death dies. His girlfriend in the car, Quagmire's wife and anyone else. When Peter takes over for death the two pilots and the plants in the plane die. That's why Peter was afraid to go to the bathroom. Just wondering why Stewie has that power over Death.

*whew* Since it's too hot in the Northern Hemisphere to do anything outside, I vote we go to the movies ! Thanks Myk for the great idea !! Let's Go To The Movies: 1. What was the best movie you've ever seen? Did you see it at the theatre/drive-in, on DVD/VHS, or on television? Depends. I don't have an all time fav. I like Star Wars, Better Off dead, and Die Hard. Sometimes I will re-watch a movie I like and hate on that day but love it another. Most of my movie watching is on DVD. 2. Which do you prefer: DVD/VHS, Theatre, Drive-In, On Demand (cable), or just waiting til it comes to television (commercials and all)? DVD 3. What was the worst movie you ever paid money to see? Why? I don't have a worst fim either. There was a really bad movie with the unknown comic that was absolutely terrible but made me laugh when drunk. 4. Color films or black and white? Do you prefer a specific genre? Doesn't matter, Clerks is BW and is great. Star Wars is very colorful and is great. I prefer SF/F and comedy. Although, I wonder why there are relatively few good fanatasy movies. 5. Movie food: over priced junk? What do you get when you go to the movies? Very over priced, Usually just th large popcorn and small drink. One thing to add, I've never seen Titanic or It's a Wonderful Life. I hate seeing movies that get that great of reviews too often. If no one dislikes it I;ll look for everything I can to hate it. If you would like to participate copy the questions and your answers in your blog, leave a comment on here on The Friday Five with the link to your blog (or if you need help just comment here and I'll find your link for you) and I'll put the link to your answers on the blog. Fun, easy, and no time limit.
