( I'm now caught up on the last two weeks' worth of My Name Is Earl and The Office. )

I didn't realize CSI and Without a Trace were both reruns tonight. This works out well, because now I can watch My Name Is Earl, The Office, and ER in real time instead of having my tape float around for a week. Unfortunately, I still turned over to CSI at 9pm, and realized that I had just missed CSI: Miami. Noooo! Yeah, it was a rerun, but I've only seen a few episodes, so it was new to me. And I missed it! So sad.

Mutant Croatian seed! Hee!

( ER - Split Decisions )

For keenai, who unfortunately missed it.....a slight recap of this week's Scrubs episode(s).

( Keep in mind that since there were two episodes, I'll end up jumping around a lot and probably mixing them up. )

Could they all lose their jobs? Pretty please?

Apparently, Kari Wuhrer has filed suit against General Hospital, claiming that she was unjustly terminated because of her pregnancy.

Honestly, I was kind of hoping this would happen, and kind of hoping it wouldn't. The part of me that didn't want her to go through with it is mainly because I don't think it will go anywhere. I'm sure the current slimy regime will slither their way out of it, because I'm sad to say, but I've lost all hope in regards that they will ever be forced to own up to the things they've done. (For instance, writing this show into the GROUND). In the end, I'm pretty sure that Kari Wuhrer will be made to look like a fool. And I kind of hate that. Because even though I don't think her pregnancy had everything to do with her firing (two words: Maurice Benard), I think the timing was very suspicious. Reese wasn't all that popular from the start - it wasn't like her popularity was just starting to wane when they decided to fire her. In fact, at the time she was fired, I believe her character was actually starting to gain popularity. So I've always felt that their reasons were pretty fishy.

And besides, telling someone that they are just not "sexy" enough to be on your show......personally, I think she ought to sue and win solely for that comment. Yes, we all know that soaps are about pretty people, but to come out and say it? And to say it like that? I know it's a bit outlandish to expect these assholes to have any kind of tact, but come on. They haven't learned anything over the years? Besides how best to please Maurice Benard?

What I find interesting is that she states in her lawsuit that she's not the only actress who has been fired from GH due to her pregnancy. Naturally, everyone assumes she means Lesli Kay. That makes me wonder how involved, if at all, Lesli Kay is going to be in this. She's made it clear that she wasn't all that happy with how GH treated her. She's pretty much come out and said "They let me go because I was pregnant." And she's fairly well-respected in the business - certainly more so than Kari Wuhrer is. I think if they could get Lesli Kay on board, they'd have a better chance. But I'm still not holding out much hope. Because like I said - this regime appears to be indestructible. I keep bringing up all these different reasons why I don't watch GH anymore (Sonny Corinthos, the rampant misogyny, Sonny Corinthos, the misuse of characters vital to the show's history, Sonny Corinthos), but it really all comes down to the regime. As long as they are in charge, I can't bring myself to watch this show. I just won't do it. And I still find it hard to believe that they've been "in power" (per se) for as long as they have been.

So, yeah. Good luck to Kari Wuhrer - I hope she wins, but the logical part of me is saying she won't.
