If this had not truly happened, the whole thing would be wonderful as a black comedy. However, a woman lost her life, her husband spent time in prison for a crime he did not commit and two girls lost their mother. I admit to laughing, in spite of myself, at some of the lines (re: Pam's Mom and her comment on the face lift she said Pam wanted!) but the problem here is that the whole thing was a comedy of errors - a sad comedy - I guess you might say. I could listen to Keith Morrison all day long so I don't blame him but someone showed poor taste in presenting this horrible crime in this way. I think all of us have come across a "Pam" in our lives - hopefully, we steered clear of her. It seems hard to believe that so many people were fooled by this abhorrent, deadly woman.

I watched Grey's Anatomy last night as I always do. While I love the show and it's characters, I think I've found what is wrong with the beloved drama. It's not funny anymore! I'm currently watching a re-run from Season 8; in this show, there are plenty of people who have life-threatening or life-changing diseases and/or accidents. But guess what else I'm seeing - funny one-liners! Even Owen, our stoic, way-too-serious but lovable surgeon/husband/former chief had a great line. He walked in to a room, closed the blinds and grabbed a bully who had previously attacked and offended several people in the ER - and he grabbed him by his WIRED jaw! He told the guy off and as he walked out, he said, "you have a great recovery now!". There were plenty of dramatic scenes but the one just cited was not only funny, it wasn't the only laugh in the show. That's what is missing from the current Grey's! Think about it, writers!!

Found this gem on Netflix, watching because I'm a HUGE Sam Elliott fan! I am in stitches constantly as I binge-watch this series! Already knowing that it is no longer in production leaves me longing for more. The language is a little "salty" but the show is so realistic. Families actually DO talk to one another and treat one another in the same manner that the Bennett family does!! Even without Danny Masterson in the show, it is still a real jewel, especially for people in the 45-70 year old range. It could not possibly be on a regular network due to its' language - yet without that aforementioned language, the show would just not be the same!! And I DO NOT talk like that! lol If anyone has missed out on seeing "The Ranch", please avail yourself of the opportunity. It is priceless.
