Michael Medved did a vague reference on Friday's show about Melissa Gilbert portraying a character that was having an affair while her husband was in Iraq--with a dog. I couldn't believe what he was saying so I had to look it up.

Melissa Gilbert just guest-starred on the FX cable network’s grotesque show "Nip/Tuck." Are you ready for this? As a woman needing to have a nipple replaced....because her dog bit it off....during sex.

Oh, great.

Now she'll be forever typecast.

If my grandmother were still alive, this would kill her. She lived for "Little House." I watched the first Nip/Tuck and was appalled. Never watched it again.

The only thing worth watching on TV is "Antique Roadshow".

"She looks really creepy in that picture"




You mean that a woman's face, on a man's body, with two nice breasts somehow worked, in seems creepy to you?

Gilbert had a short-lived 1/2 hour comedy [Stand by Your Man] a decade or so ago. In it, she was the wife of a guy in prison. It didn't play but a few weeks, it was so bad.

It is not unusual for 'childhood' stars to 'push the envelope' to get away from the stereotyping of their childhood character. Melissa Joan Hart of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and Alyssa Milano of Who's the Boss did explicit photog/video in their later teen-early twenties. It is their way of saying, "I'm not that little kid any more."

They do these extremes to break the casting curse many childhood stars think exists -- that they get permanently welded into the childhood character. Danny Bonaduce was Danny Partridge for decades. Gary Coleman can't shake the Diff'rent Strokes type casting.

Up next on “Nip/Tuck” is Rosie O’Donnell, and it wouldn’t be worth the guest starring role without Rosie’s character having sex with Dr. Christian Troy, the show’s stud muffin. TV Guide has already spurred O’Donnell to recount the filming of the “absolutely hilarious” sex scene, how the actor playing Dr. Troy was naked except for a sock and she decided to go topless, and how her lesbian partner loved watching every minute.

Anyone want to comment on this?

Now that you mentioned her body, her neck does look kind of thick--like a man's. But the breasts creep me out too. Too round, too pasty, and too much.

Living in LA I get tired of looking at all the boob jobs. They are fake guys. FAKE BREASTS! They be basically blown up plastic bags!

Can you imagine if men walked around with bulges (not utterly gay men, but straight men) and the bulges were made of gel in a bag. That would be insane, bizarre and hilarious wouldn't it? Well, this is what I now see when I look at all these fake chests walking around my town day and night, night and day. It is enough to drive one to want to go . . . where? I fear this has spread everywhere sadly.

Yet. Melissa is attractive otherwise and she has brains. Which is more then I can say for most in this town.

The last couple of years I watch very little series television. There isn't a single regular network program that holds my interest.

At the same time though F/X network the last several seasons has been offering almost the only interesting new shows on the air. Nip/Tuck, The Shield, and Rescue Me all push the boundaries of basis cable, and are totally upfront that this is what they do. They aren't right for everybody and give fair warning they are mature programming with foul language, nudity etc at the beginning of each episode (MLV etc) may as well be a Roman numeral geometry problem it uses so many warning letters. They are also broadcast late night past the bedtime of youngsters.

With several hundred channels now there is room for mature subjects programming to be offered to forewarned audiences.

Do you actually want All Barney the Dinosaur all the time?

I so agree. I never got the fascination with plastic boobs. They don't even move.

Also I read that often the procedure takes away the woman's ability to feel her breasts, in other words all sensations are numbed.

So what's up with that?
