Will you watch Katherine Heigl's new TV show?

Not me. She has basically ruined her reputation in the movies because of her excessive demands and unkind words about the jobs she has been given. In fact, Shonda Rhimes actually called her out recently when asked whether there was any drama on the sets of her shows Scandal and Murder and she made a comment about there being no Heigls, or something to that effect. She's now having to take anything that is offered to her, so I don't think it will be high quality TV. Maybe I'll change my mind.

Oh yes definitely, I already have it set to record the season. I liked her in Greys and how much she stood up for T. R. Knight at that time, and in the Janet Evanovich movie, she allowed Janet a lot of say from Janet's comments.
This show is by the same people as The Blacklist which is one of our favorite shows.
I pay very little attention to the he said she said drama. They all have their level of being drama queens, both sexes. Everybody has a story.

If they are good at acting that's what I am watching them for. I like the premise of the show that also counts a lot.

Personally I think she has below average acting skills and I can't think of a singe movie she has been in that I've really enjoyed. She was OK on the first year or so of Grey's but t's been downhill since then.

I've heard that she's difficult to work with but so many other celebrities are just as inane that I can usually ignore their personal lives.

Must Watch TV shows

We really enjoy CSI, all of them. Usually only watch the 11pm show though. I like the amount of advertizing ('cause I have time then to do the whole day's dishes that I didn't do during the day.) CSI is about the only show I watch these days 'cause I am either working on business stuff or working outside in the yard and only have time to sit down after dark. Now, dark is after 10 pm already. I really enjoy gardening shows on TV but in the last few years the quality of the gardening shows has gone 'down the tubes'. We used to get shows about the plants, about how to do things in your garden, shows that taught you something about gardening. I really enjoyed Ken Beattie's show, 'Get Growing' on Saturday am until they cancelled it last year. Now, the new thing out is to quickly make over one yard and since the neighbor has the identical backyard, let's see what each landscaper can do to make them look different. No information about the plants is given. So...I am tempted to cancel HGTV. In the summer when I want to work outside that is when the TV producers used to air the gardening shows...not in the winter when I had the time to sit down for the evening. Now, it doesn't make any difference 'cause there are no really good informative gardening shows on anyways. There...my 'beef' for the day. Brenda

To watch a TV show on laptop
Q

Make sure your browser and adobe flash player are up to date, and check to see if you have a video add-on for your browser and you should be ready to go. A search for the video is often faster than going to a show's website. When you find the video you can click on it and it will begin to play. Depending on the kind of connection you are using (broadband, dsl, etc.) you might have buffering where the video is interrupted while the stream downloads to your computer. This happens a lot in public hot spots and in hotels and similar places; the wi-fi isn't fast enough to handle video; if you are on satellite like a friend of mine is, expect some long waits. If your laptop can't display hd it's ok. Most video is available in lower resolution. Lastly, your cable tv service probably has a page on this topic if you are wanting to stream the program from tv to your laptop. I set it up on my desktop but didn't like it because the video only displays inside a frame box, not full screen like on a tv or on the web. So I prefer getting video off the web. Hope that helps.

Do you watch any educational TV shows?

We watch a lot of the History Channel as well as the Discovery Channel. I like PBS shows, love to catch a cooking show of Julia Childs...she is a hoot to watch. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to catch a quilting show on PBS, I can't seem to find out just when they are showing! Deb

Stressed after watching a TV show with DD

The first time I accidentally came across SATC I was shocked, and embarrassed to be watching it with me in the room! Didn't finish the episode. One of the racier ones I guess. It was on free-to-air tv in Australia so I don't know how much it may have been edited. I've occasionally seen other episodes and thought the show might have been interesting. I made a point of watching the final episode. I can understand people following the show all the way through but it was on at a time in my life when I needed to be an expert channel changer so I just didn't tend to watch anything with that sort of potential. What has bothered me more is some of the stuff on SBS and ABC which has suddenly shown up in inappropriate timeslots. At least I had some idea SATC had a bit of a reputation, and it was in a better timeslot. (I've been told ABC and SBS don't have to abide by the same standards as the commercial stations.) I like Sweeby's comments. Popi, maybe your daughter was hoping for a conversation afterwards. I'm frequently shocked by the way increasingly young girls dress. But I don't have a teenage daughter so I really don't know what it's like for the parents to find the right path to tread on such issues. I suspect tv doesn't help, especially if the parents don't give some guidance as to what is appropriate viewing. I especially don't like it when parents put tv's in each child's bedroom.

I agree with ravencajun on this one. Am anxious to check it out.

I feel if you can hold my interest and entertain me whatever your talent, I don't really care about your personal choices/decisions.

I don't know Katherine Heigle and as far as I'm concerned everything said about her and others in her place are nothing but rumours, lies and innuendos. Somewhere in there is the truth and I certainly have no way of ferreting it out. Everyone in that industry has their own agenda including Shondra Rhimes.

Yes, I will watch it and if it holds my interest I will continue to watch it and if it doesn't I won't. Simple as that.

I don't watch her movies because I don't care for lightweight comedy romances and for no other reason. I also don't go to Jennifer Aniston movies for the same reason.

Will watch it if for no other reason than I just found out one of the writers in the show is married to the daughter of a gal in my book club.

I must have heard only the good things about her. She's close to her family, and, with her husband, adopted a baby girl from Korea, where her own adopted sister was born. I believe the baby had a heart defect, which was treated after the adoption. I forget the baby's name, but it's unusual because it's a combination of Heigl's mother and sister. She and her husband adopted another baby as well.

Plus she is a strong advocate for animals, which I greatly appreciate.

Alfre Woodard is also in "State of Affairs;" I like her too. Yes, I'll watch--if I remember. I'm famous for forgetting to watch the beginning, or (more likely) watching the first couple of episodes and then forgetting. ;-)
