I liked Southland, but Tuesday nights, I watch The Forgotten (great show) and the Good Wife. Don't know what I'm going to do next week when Justified starts. Why do they put all the good shows on at the same time?

They don't live in Florida, either. So after 6 years in Florida, we moved to Tennessee, and my kids (2 were born in FL, and one didn't remember living anywhere else) saw them for the first time. I grew up around them in Ohio, so while I had missed the summer tradition, I wasn't surprised by them. I didn't think to point them out to my kids and identify them. I had a good laugh when they all dropped their mouths open and pointed "What is THAT?" It was fun, they were just the right age to be amazed by them. I think maybe the bugs need cold ground for their larvae stage? Anyone know? Seems like that's what I read once. That's whey they aren't in climates that don't get a cold winter. We see a few here, lucky to see 5-6 a night, not like we'd see in Ohio or even Tennessee. Once in TN I read that scientists needed them for research, and would be in town collecting captured lightning bugs on certain days in August. You were supposed to capture them, then put the entire container in the freezer where they would, of course, die. But you had to keep them frozen. So we'd catch 30-40 a night, freeze the jars, then the next day transfer the dead, frozen bugs to a larger container. Then store them in the freezer until the collection time. Even then, you were supposed to bring them in a container, in a cooler packed with ice. They could not thaw out after that first freezing, could not get wet and have ice on them. We had hundreds of dead lightning bugs in our freezer. They were buying the lightning bugs, I don't remember the price, but it wasn't much. We figured if we even had 500-600 we'd be lucky to buy one milkshake with our profit. LOL. It was just a fun summer diversion. Then we ended up having to move a few days before the collection date, so we never did get to turn them it. I offered them to a couple neighbors to carry on the project, but no took me up on it, just looked at me like I was nuts. Go figure. Sorry, that got long. People tell me I have a story for everything. When I've had too much caffeine, I tell them all!

Thanks for the replies..... I watched last night, and tried as I may, I failed to see any humor..... My son who watched with me, and has seen a few episodes before, claims that this was probably a "transition" show, introducing characters.... I didn't even know what kind of company this office is in (my son told me "paper sales"). I will give this another try (or two) since it seems to be quite popular.

Oprah has given away a lot of money and done many things for others. I will remember setting my VCR for 4 pm as long as I live. She started out like Jerry Springer with lesbian nuns on (really.) The kind of stuff that is none of our business and I don't believe nuns would come forward and wish they wouldn't. But it got attention which she needed to compete with Phil Donahue. Then she had a revelation and cleaned up her act. She is a wonderful actress. A natural in great movies that tell real stories. Rosie is not a nice person in my opinion though she had that reputation for a while when she had her own show. Queen of nice. We all have seen her other side and I remember when she left The View she had a blog online and she looked skaggy and ranted everyday to people who agreed with her. Maybe she was off her medication but I doubt I will ever watch her again. She has never revealed why she acted so badly and I don't care. Oprah has a lot of thinking to do. I don't know what shows she could do that would appeal to me. I guess I have seen it all at this age. And with 8 commercials at a time (I thought that was illegal) then I fold. With all of the repeats and commercials it sounds like she is stalling and building money to finance her show in the future. Everybody is replaceable and I will probably let her go and watch the history shows as those are teaching me something.
