Off-Topic, but I don't care. [Apr. 15th, 2008|11:10 pm]

Tonight, I just watched the most amazing hour of television. If you missed, you will be sorry, because unless I miss my guess it will be a topic of conversation over water coolers across the nation tomorrow. If you are on the west coast and see this in time Tape, Tivo, watch! Boston Legal tonight. The writers pulled out all the stops and pulled it off (without coming close to jumping the shark).

They addressed Alzheimer's, death with dignity (which we are not allowed in this nation), nucleor proliferation (with a nod to Tom Lehrer) and vulnerability in relationships (especially amongst the disabled). All the while handling the writer's strike with a toss off line that you will miss if you blink. And each was handled with amazing care, complexity and sometimes a little humor in what would otherwise been one hell of a tear jerker. Hats off gentle persons!

Two words.... Emmy Nomination

Oh nertz. I didn't see this post until too late. I'll try and catch it on repeat. The topic of Alzheimer's is beginning to be of interest in my young life.
